While Obama was doing THIS in Hawaii:

In Hawaii for vacation, Sen. Barack Obama arrives at the Olomana golf course near Waikiki. Meanwhile, Democrats meeting in Pittsburgh decided on a party platform. (By Alex Brandon -- Associated Press)
Seems like Obama took note of Dubya’s selected-but-not-elected trend of going golfing in the most inappropriate times, like yesterday when the Democratic Platform was presented to Howard Dean at Pittsburgh. Shouldn’t have Obama been there though, since he’s the new DNC presumptive princess? Oh silly me, he had to golf to relieve all that stress from dealing with lowly dead-ender voters. ProudMilitaryMom give’s the play-by-play scoop on what happened. Many hugs to ProudMilitaryMom next time you see her comment here at the Confluence!
Also happening while Obama gets his mani/pedi after golfing for all those hours under the hot Hawaiian sun, Hillary was out on the campaign trail hustling for Obama votes:
Hillary Clinton stumps for Obama
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 9 (UPI) — Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is urging her backers to switch their allegiances to likely nominee U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
Clinton, D-N.Y., appearing at her first solo campaign rally for Obama in Las Vegas on Friday, told cheering supporters to disregard any lingering resentment from the bruising Democratic primary election battles and instead back the party’s probable nominee, the New York Daily News reported.
“Anyone who voted for me or caucused for me has so much more in common with Senator Obama than Senator McCain,” Clinton said, referring to Obama’s probable Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
McCain, meanwhile, campaigned in Clinton’s former home state of Arkansas, where the newspaper said he is leading Obama in some state polls. Looking to court independent voters, McCain said, “I’m certainly pleased with where we are” in the state.
McCain said his campaign was gaining support among “Reagan Democrats” and others — “some we might call ‘Clinton Democrats’ as well,” the Daily News reported.
McCain may be gaining some support, but not all of us “Clinton Democrats” are joining the Unity Pony Express or the McCain camp, as we all know here at the Confluence. McCain, Obama, not even Mama Clinton herself can herd us in. Yet that’s what the DNC/Obama Camp think. That it’s HER job to that, not Obama’s. It’s HER job to talk to “those people,” while their Presumptious & Precious Post-Partisan Princess goes on vacay and gets his body exfoliating seaweed wrap and cucumber mask. Well, he does has to prepare for the coronation after all! Let Cinderella do all the work, since she’s not going to the ball anyways.
Meanwhile in swing-state Ohio, a FBI investigation hits a Democratic Party chief, which may cost Obama and down-ticket Dems votes in the November election:
Inquiry in Ohio Could Hurt Obama Vote
CLEVELAND — A federal investigation of Democratic Party leaders in Cuyahoga County could pose problems for Barack Obama’s campaign in Ohio, party insiders and political analysts say.
If the party’s local campaign operation suffers, some Democrats said, it could cost Mr. Obama votes in a Democratic area where he must win overwhelmingly to offset Republican strength elsewhere in the state.
“There’s no question that this is not helpful,” said Peter Lawson Jones, a Democrat who serves on the three-member Cuyahoga County Board of Commissioners with Jimmy Dimora, the chairman of the county Democratic Party, who is at the center of a federal inquiry.
Is Hillary going to help Obama fix up the problem in Ohio too? Maybe she can mow lawns in exchange for Obama votes because you know, she did win Ohio by 16% ? And FL and NV….and PA, MA, NJ, NH, CA, NM, TX, MI, and many others.
The hubris, the arrogance and the defecation on Democracy by the Obama camp and DNC makes me more PUMA everyday. Keep hustlin’ Hillary out for Obama votes while Princess Obama gets his facials & body wraps and manscaping in Hawaii, narcissistic-enabling DNC. Because every minute that passes while Princess Obama is on vacation, the more Democrats you will PUMAtize.
¡Que viva los PUMAs! (Long live PUMAs!)
