Hillary Clinton Mocks Barack Obama During Campaign Rally

Anyone who wants to know just how honest Obama is, look at this news report from Canadian television. By the way, it's pathetic that we Americans have to rely on foreign news sources for the truth about our own campaigns.

Obama has actually given that "light shing down from above" speech several times. I've seen it aired on the cable networks.
The mailings in question are visually misleading, the statements they contain are typical of political manipulations of opposing views. HC just called him on his claims of not pursuing "politics as usual".
BTW, Sen. Jay Rockefeller is the democrate who is leading the fight to include TELCO immunity in the FISA bull.

I personally thought her mocking was completely unpresidential. It took away her dignity. I felt bad that she was willing to lower the bar. It also is making her look desperate!I hate to see her lower herself to such unattractiveness.

To answer the question, I don't see how her comments could help her overcome Obama's appeal. I think it's a sign of her desperation. Also, I do think that she (and her team) took her nomination for granted. She should have used these tactics earlier on, but it probably wouldn't have made much difference. The fact is the American people know that we would be (defacto) be getting Bill again. Not that he was all that bad, but people are thinking that enough is enough. Bush/Cheney & the rest of the crew have deeply wounded the American psyche. As a result, people want to move far away from the past to try something new. The experience thing doesn't mean much when one considers that JFK didn't have much either, but he made a tremendous impact.

It's amazing the importance of Ohio the last several elections. I've waited for the very last minute to send in my absentee ballot. I only wish both could end up on the same ticket, though slim chances of that happening.

It's about time we had a reality check...
If Obama isn't be devoured by the GOP attack machine and corporate special interests will beat him at the DC poker table everytime. But he won't let on... that this is happening. He will call the cost of unification, peace and harmony. We cannot endure any more compromises on health care, Iraq, education, alternative energy sources. One example: To stay competive, we need to control and change the amount of oil consumed in this country. $15 billion is lost on airliners waiting to take off.
Flying is incredibely costly, and so is driving. We all know more money is paying for gas. But we're never going to have cheap gas again, and
no one is wiling to admit they can't afford to drive gas guzzeling SUV's to the Warehouse food store for a $2.50 plastic container of milk. It's not just alternative fuels, it's away of life that has to change and it's not just people riding fast and efficient buses. It's corporation distribution of the food that needs to change. We need to return to neighborhood stores you can walk to instead of driving to the food warehouse. It's cheaper to send the trucks to the neighborhood store, than it is for all us to drive to the food warehouse. Americans are dupes to corporate cost cutting strategies -- so we trade $8.00 to drive for 300 choices of cereal. Figure your costs based on 48.5 cents per mile which is disturbingly low reimbersement based on the current cost of gas, auto maintenance and depreciation.

Who is going to really stand up and fight these special interests. If you are the Beaver, and
Eddy Haskill is threatening to beat you up if don't give him your lunch money, who would get to back you up? Someone who has actually punched someone out will stands up to the bully so you keep all your lunch money or someone who says we can talk this over, and you lose half your lunch money? Hillary has proven record of standing up for herself and others. I don't want to take a chance with sharp talker like Obama and maybe lose my lunch money and still take a blow to the stomach....

This looks familiar. Does anyone remember 'poppy' Bush mocking Al Gore by calling him 'Algore', implying Gore was from another planet because of his 'wacky' environmental stand? That worked out well for W's dad, didn't it.

she is SOOOO yesterday!

she is SOOOO yesterday!

Hillary Clinton Health Care Plan: New Release of White House Records
By Tom Fitton
Jan 22, 2008

Judicial Watch released new documents last week from the Clinton Presidential Library regarding Hillary"s botched attempt to stage a government takeover of our nation"s healthcare system in 1993. Our investigators found them during a trip to the Clinton Library in Little Rock last year.

Here are a few highlights from what we found: A June 18, 1993 internal Memorandum entitled, "A Critique of Our Plan," authored by P.S., which makes the startling admission that critics of Hillary"s health care reform plan were correct: "I can think of parallels in wartime, but I have trouble coming up with a precedent in our peacetime history for such broad and centralized control over a sector of the economy¦Is the public really ready for this?... none of us knows whether we can make it work well or at all¦"

***

--A "Confidential" May 26, 1993 Memorandum from Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WVA) to Hillary Clinton entitled, "Health Care Reform Communications," which criticizes the Task Force as a "secret cabal of Washington policy "wonks"" that has engaged in "choking off information" from the public regarding health care reform. The memorandum suggests that Hillary Clinton "use classic opposition research" to attack those who were excluded by the Clinton Administration from Task Force deliberations and to "expose lifestyles, tactics and motives of lobbyists" in order to deflect criticism. Senator Rockefeller also suggested news organizations "are anxious and willing to receive guidance [from the Clinton Administration] on how to time and shape their [news] coverage."

--A February 5, 1993 Draft Memorandum from Alexis Herman and Mike Lux detailing the Office of Public Liaison"s plan for the health care reform campaign. The memorandum suggests building an "interest group data base" detailing whether or not organizations "support(ed) us in the election." The database would also track personal information about interest group leaders, such as their home phone numbers, addresses, "biographies, analysis of credibility in the media, and known relationships with Congresspeople."

***

We found these records amongst the approximately 13,000 made publicly available by the Clinton Library, specifically from the White House Health Care Interdepartmental Working Group. The National Archives admits there are an additional 3,022,030 additional textual records, 2,884 pages of electronic records, 1,021 photographs, 3 videotapes and 3 audiotapes related to the Task Force that are currently being withheld indefinitely from the public. Given what we found thus far, can you imagine what else is down there in Little Rock? (On November 2, 2007 we filed a lawsuit to obtain the Task Force records.)

Unsurprisingly, rather than engaging the American people on the issue of health care reform honestly, the Clintons and their allies attempted to track citizens" private and political information, smear administration critics, shroud their plan in secrecy, and manipulate news coverage. Some of this was dirty politics; some of it may have run afoul of the law. Will anyone ask Hillary about it?

Tom Fitton is the President of Judicial Watch, Inc., a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation, which promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law.

Wow!!!!!

Anybody know if this is a record for the number of comments for a thread?

It appears to me that the internet has come into full flower just in time to facilitate the sort of nonsense we are seeing here, i.e., relatively good candidates for president being nitpicked while the other side, with enormous real burdens, getting the time to pull themselves together for the general election.

Beware friends, Karl Rove is just earning some lunch money over at Fox. He & his mignons will soon return for some laying on of the cudgels you won't believe!

I could just imagine her chastising Abraham Lincoln for his "better angels of our nature" speech ("sure Abe, celestial choirs of angels will come to help us out; we need REAL EXPERIENCE!")

Either Senator Clinton has understated her experience as first lady, stated it just right, or overstated it. It seems to be that many people including Chris Dodd thinks she is overstating her experience.

Even Bill Clinton cannot take full credit for all of the successes or failures in his two terms. Yet, it seems Senator Clintons supporters grasp onto the idea that she was the mastermind behind any good things that happened during Bill Clinton's presidency and none of the bad things. Who are the delusional ones?? Please make a small donation to Barack at his website.

This performance begs the question: Who do you want answering the phone at 3:00 in the morning in the White House when some crisis breaks out in the world?

Let me start by saying I am a "dyed in the wool" Obama supporter and have been for quite some time now.

I found this clip to be pretty funny. . . and it made me chuckle. People need to lighten up a bit.

If Hillary wins the democratic nomination (which, by the way, I do not think she will) then democratic voters need to rally behind her.

She would make a good president. Though I think Obama will make a GREAT president.

All of this vitriol for Hillary isn't a good thing.
