Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama denied allegations from rival Hillary Clinton's campaign Sunday that his political action committee Hopefund was used to bribe public officials in early voting states.

"Everything that we've done is in exact accordance with the law," said the Illinois senator at a press conference. "Unless they can show that it hasn't been, I suggest they focus on trying to get their supporters to caucus in Iowa."

Which Obama to believe? That is the question.

"I think very highly of Hillary. The more I get to know her, the more I admire her. I think she's one of the most disciplined people I know. She's one of the toughest. She's got an extraordinary intelligence, and she's somebody who's in this stuff for the right reasons. She's passionate about moving the country forward on issues like health care and children." -- Barack Obama

Continuation:

Obama already made a HUGE mistake, he said he's going to lift the cap of $98,000 (social security). That is stupid and shows lack of understanding how it will affect a worker's contribution to SS. Hillary Clinton will review it BEFORE doing anything. Obama is an amateur, this is REAL issues that touch the LIVES of EVERY American; this is not like the Oprah Winfrey Show where you end up sitting at the chair of Dr. Phil or Oprah sending someone in your home to give your whole family a makeover.

The REAL poll is AFTER the people of Iowa cast their vote. Polls don't mean diddly squat, HRC is double digit ahead of Obama nationally,who cares, that don't mean anything.

I haven't heard anyone address in this blog a very IMPORTANT issue that TOPS the lists, the biggest concern of EVERY American regardless of their political affiliation - ECONOMY.

Hope is great, idealism is great, but it doesn't put a food on your table, pay your utilities, medical bills and education for your children. What is the economic plan of Obama? This country is heading towards recession, our national debt is growing $1 million a minute. I've heard Obama speech after speech, talking he's the ONLY hope for change. He hasn't talk about real issue that concerns EVERY family in this country, US ECONOMY. What is the plan of Obama to counteract China? They're building their armaments and that is a THREAT to United States.

I'm not concern about the economic plan of Hillary Clinton, she was one of the adviser of Bill Clinton in the WH, she's the ONLY First Lady with an office in the West Wing. Even NAFTA that started with Bush foreign policy and signed by Bill Clinton to impliment the policy of the previous administration will be reviewed by HRC. HRC already made it known, that agreement will be reviewed during her administration. I haven't heard Obama mentioned anything what he's going to do. The American people are NOT jaded with idealism and hope; they're REALIST. When you open your refrigerator and its empty that is REALITY, when your power is cut off because you can't pay your bill, that is REALITY.

Lets get real here, lets cut the BS about "hope and idealism", you can't cook it, you can't eat it, it doesn't pay your bills, it doesn't send your children to school.

Hillary ahead in new poll? Think again!

Maybe in an old poll as the AP/PEW poll really is.

I am guessing they called a few people on the 25th and posted the results. The bulk of it must have been done on the 7th. If they had 3-4000LV, I just might be able to reason with them. But it does not take almost 20days to poll a mere 460 people. Most are completed in 2-3days.

1) ARG 11/26-29 Obama +2.0
2) Des Moines Register 11/25-28 Obama +3.0
3) Rasmussen 11/26-27Clinton +2.0
4) Strategic Vision (R) 11/23-25 Tie
5) AP-Pew 11/07-25 Clinton +5.0 (NEW POLL?)***
6) ABC/Wash Post 11/14-18 Obama +4.0

Don't know what's up with Hillary? I live in Iowa and just heard a radio ad today with supposed testimonials from 911 air quality sufferers praising Hillary, only problem they had Iowa accents, at least they didn't sound like they were from Nu Yawk?

Why are some many now trying to be an Obama hater. Hillary inflicted her own wounds. She lied on stage. Now, her petty attacks about grade school letter wrote by Obama during K-6. Come on it is not his fault. She fell in the mud by herself.

Hmm... Obama says Hillary is stressed. Sounds like something out of Rove's playbook or worse Rush Limbaugh. He might as well have said she is going through menopause or has her period. Just a little misogynistic smudge from Saint Obama.

Obama Vs. Clinton: The Battle of the Moneyed Political Status Quo Egos

Hillary = Bush lite

Obama = Hillary lite

Iowan voters wish Hillary had Obama's fresh ideas. Iowan voters wish Obama had Hillary's experience.

Iowan voters end up voting for JOHN EDWARDS, the complete package of fresh ideas -AND- experience in the democratic party WITHOUT the PAC money and lobbyist money shenanigans!

Guess what Robert Reich (Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton) wrote on his blog(http://robertreich.blogspot.com/2007/12/why-is-hrc-stooping-so-low.html)? He defends Obama against Hillary's attacks. Here is a sample:

"I"m becoming increasingly concerned about the stridency and inaccuracy of charges in Iowa -- especially coming from my old friend (Hillary Clinton). While I"m as hard-boiled as they come about what"s said in campaigns, I just don"t think Dems should stoop to this. First, HRC attacked (Obama's) plan for keep Social Security solvent. Social Security doesn"t need a whole lot to keep it going " it"s in far better shape than Medicare " but everyone who"s looked at it agrees it will need bolstering (I was a trustee of the Social Security Trust Fund ten years ago, and I can vouch for this). Obama wants to do it by lifting the cap on the percent of income subject to Social Security payroll taxes, which strikes me as sensible. That cap is now close to $98,000 (it"s indexed), and the result is highly regressive. (Bill Gates satisfies his yearly Social Security obligations a few minutes past midnight on January 1 every year.) The cap doesn"t have to be lifted all that much to keep Social Security solvent " maybe to $115,00. That"s a progressive solution to the problem. HRC wants to refer Social Security to a commission. That's avoiding the issue, and it's irresponsible: A commission will likely call either for raising the retirement age (that"s what Greenspan"s Social Security commission came up with in the 1980s) or increasing the payroll tax on all Americans. So when HRC charges that Obama"s plan would "raise taxes" and her plan wouldn"t, she"s simply not telling the truth.

"I"m equally concerned about her attack on his health care plan. She says his would insure fewer people than hers. I"ve compared the two plans in detail. Both of them are big advances over what we have now. But in my view Obama"s would insure more people, not fewer, than HRC"s."

Whoa?!!!

Obama supporters asked me for "proof" what I've stated about Obama. Okay Kids with nothing better to do but surf in the internet building websites here it is for your perusal.

Hillary did NOT lie when she said Obama received money from lobbyists and use his PAC money to shall I say BRIBERY for democrats in Iowa, NH and other states. This is a watchdog website. Obama is a LYING SLIME BALL!

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barack_Obama/Campaign_Financing

You all want to know where I get the voting records of Obama, you can go to this website too!

Obama is OVERRATED! In that first URL you'll see a link concentrated ONLY to attack Hillary Clinton.

Obama has NOTHING to offer. The comment of Robert Reich about Hillary is inaccurate, even the book he wrote was full of inaccuracies the publisher had to rewrite it and issue it again in papebacks.

Robert Reich is an extreme winger who resigned in the first administration of Bill Clinton because Clinton was running from the center instead on the left that a LOT of leftwingers wanted him to. MAJORITY of the American people are MODERATE, Clinton brought economic progress in this country by staying at the center, he was able to bring the Republican Party to his agenda. He LISTEN to both side, AND that's what Hillary Clinton is going to do as President, she'll be the next President of USA.

When it comes to handling of Iraq, Hillary has a higher favorable rating than Obama, healthcare, Hillary has a higher favorable rating than Obama, Social Security, Hillary has a higher favorable rating than Obama.

When it comes to black voters in the state of South Carolina, Hillary has 83% ratings compared to Obama.

The American people are not sold out with the rock star image of Obama.

Obama supporters, how Obama is going to win again?...........BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

People are waking up now that their attention must focus a bit. Hillary's sense of entitlement brought this about as she continued her attempt to play it safe by refusing to answer questions at the debates and even stating outright "i am not going to answer that"..well, fine, but people don't trust that and even Biden who was at first a plant to praise Hillary while auditioning for sec. of state, has spoken up about her refusal to answer questions. make no mistake that the clintons will never go quietly as they know every play in the book and up till this point have had the media backing them. if that should ever change then the Hillary for president campaign will become history. a win in Iowa by Obama will begin to turn the tide but i would watch for big "name' endorsements (bloomberg? ) to follow. Once the scent of defeat is in the water the natural enemies will be in for the feed. Hillary just cant win over anyone who wants change and anyone who is informed. She is george bush wearing the pants that he pretends to wear! The good news on top of this is Huckabees numbers continue to rise which will cause his lunacy to get some attention and that particular far out wing of the republicans base will get even more discredited. it would not surprise me to see the clintons come in 3rd place in Iowa.
