Nice try, Joe, but the Clintons did an admirable job uniting the Dems behind Obama. There will be hold outs across the country who will put their loyalty to Hillary above her call to put the interests of the country first, but it won't be enough.

You might be right about Barrie. She's always put the personal above the interests of the common good.

Everyone knows the Shore will go Republican. It always does. But everyone also knows the State will go to Obama. Therefore, quit wasting time searching ridiculous idiotic made up bullsh*t about Obama and the Democrats made up by Republican liars. Yes, PUMA is a Republican gimmick. The only reason they don't want Obama is they are afraid of power back in the people's hands. They want to run this country(into the ground) like a Red Dictatorship. You just simply have to ask yourself, "were you better off in the 1990's or 2000's?" The answer is clear. America was prosperous and envied the world over in the 1990's. Thank you Bill Clinton.

PUMA's stand together;
Don't give up the ship.

We got to make that B&O team slip.

NOBAMA - PUMA!
