How Barack Obama rocked the Iowa caucuses

New Word Synonymous with Ruthless: Obama

I would like to add a new word to become synonymous with ruthless. The new word that will be forever associated with ruthless hence forward is Obama. Obama's pure, unadulterated toxic ambition is equal only to Adolf Hitler. Obama makes Julius Caesar's ambition look naive. No matter how much silver-plating his campaign puts on Obama, he still looks like a ruthless turd. Obama has no regard for whom or how many he will harm as long as he gets where he thinks he wants to be.

America has been unhappy with the Bush administration for several years. No secret! Millions of Americans were looking forward to this coming election. They were hoping for the first time in American history to elect a woman president. Hillary Clinton has all the qualifications and experience. She was not only believed to be the American choice for the first Woman president, it was fairly certain she would have defeated any Republican choice.

Obama, the ruthless, crushed Hillary Clinton and America's great hope. He ruthlessly seized his nomination with no regard to the huge price the Democratic party would have to pay for his ruthless greedy desire. Obama, the ruthless, literally stole the delegate votes from Hillary.

"Though voters in all 13 caucus states cast only 2.9% of the total 35.9 million votes, those caucus votes control 14.6% of the pledged delegates and 15.5% of the Super delegates sent to the DNC Convention

39 Primaries with 34.8 million voters gave Clinton a lead in both votes and delegates. Caucuses with 1.1 million voters gave Obama 300,000 more votes and 206 more delegates. Alegre has more on the allocation of delegates, including this gem: Hillary won the state of Nevada 51%-45% but by the time the contest reached the state convention, she ended up with 3 fewer delegates!

Hillary won the popular vote, according to ABC News. The information is no longer available on the ABC News website, but both No Quarter and Taylor Marsh documented it at the time:
POPULAR VOTE (all primaries and caucuses)
Hillary Clinton: 17,785,009
Barack Obama: 17,479,990
The popular vote count at Real Clear Politics shows Hillary in the lead when all the votes are counted, and even further in the lead when estimates are made for some of the caucus states.

Rather than being penalized for the tactical move of removing his name from the Michigan ballot, on May 31 Obama was rewarded instead, by the Rules & Bylaws Committee of the DNC. He was given delegates who didn't
