Obama: Hillary, McCain Using "Very Same Words" Against Me

Barack Obama said yesterday that Hillary Clinton is using attacks from the GOP playbook. Today his campaign circulated a fundraising letter, charging that Hillary Clinton and John McCain are using the "the very same words" to attack him. Obama isn't the only one who says it's two against one. The Washington Post points out that Hillary and John McCain are sounding like they are in an echo chamber when it comes to attacking Obama these days.

Sen. John McCain joined in the criticism of Sen. Barack Obama yesterday for Obama's comments about "bitter" victims of small-town economic distress, while Obama's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination weighed in with a tough new ad on the controversy.

Speaking at a gathering of newspaper editors and executives in Washington, McCain echoed the rebuke voiced repeatedly by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, calling Obama's characterization "a contradiction from what I believe America is all about."

[MichiganJFrog]

At least 90% cacao, you couldn't get that just 10 yeas ago.

[msemper]

first it was hillary then McCain's Aide wrote a statement. about the bitter comment. Hillary is willing to destroy Obama. However I think the more she attacks the more people turn on her.

I made a oath to donate $25 to obama every time hillary goes negative.

thanks for the link.

On the dem side we have two candidates . One is much better at presenting the message than the other . It took some time before the losing side to began to realize this . ("Enough with the speeches already") . The ability to deliver a message is very important when speaking to an audience . Some have it and some do not . Understanding that she does not have that level of ability she has sought the assistant of her friend Mr Murdock and his media gang . The rest of the media corporations normally follow the Fox leadership so together with Senator McCain all of the media corporations are raining as much verbal abuse as allowed on Obama hoping the public will pay attention and act accordingly . The problem is the youth voters see a middle aged lady who is not convincing enough and the informed voters are just not impressed .

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

Yes, I agree. It's hard to convince those who seek nostalgia, that Hillary is not the best candidate for the Democratic party.

“Regular People”:

McCain’s Plan: Tax Cuts To For Businesses.

McCain Repeatedly Voted Against Raising The Minimum Wage. In the senate, John McCain voted at least eight times against measure to increase the minimum wage. ( http://colorofchange.org/mccain_facts/ )

Women’s Reproductive Rights

McCain says Roe v. Wade should be overturned ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17222147/ )

This is the type of thing that will kill McCain in the general.

THIS PICTURE is worth a thousand words.....­..........­.........M­cCain/Hill­ary
SEEING IS BELIEVING
HEARING IS BELIEVING.­..........­....What more proof ???

[realrick]

I've been saying that the Clintons are running a Republican-like campaign.

I wonder if we should nickname her "McHillary" or "McClinton" or "McHillary McClinton"­.....

[Ozarks]

Maybe McDonald's will name a hamburger after Hillary, The marketing slogan would be "Where's the Beef, Hillary ?"

[shockmagog]

It looks like Conan O'Carson. "That's wild stuff."

[maxrebel]

I think the person who compared her to a calculating Joan Crawford nailed it.

Some people already posted some videos of Hillary in the Joan Crawford role...

Check out Joan Clinton

Hey, is it my computer or is there a lot of scrubbing going on tonight?

[Nochnoi]

Could not tell you.... short pages... and not the kind Republicans like......­... are the only think I have noticed...­...

[AdLib]

When I go to Page 2, they're old posts, newer ones are missing.

[Nochnoi]

Thing.... not think.... hahah.... Oooops....­.......

[MouthFountain]

An entire thread that I commented on is gone! In an instant.

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

I haven't noticed any scrubbing.

[Kalima]

I think you might be right but check your profile, mine seem to be there,though not here.

[AdLib]

Then it seems there's a software problem with the blog, many threads are gone and keep disappearing as they get pushed off the bottom of the page.

As you say, the posts aren't wiped but they're not viewable here. Drag.

[SkoolOFBarROCK]

Was the almost 6000 post on the "bitter" story fair ?

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

And many other threads on the bitter non story, with thousands of other posts.

[Kumbaya]

This is just to say that image is truly disturbing.

[ThunderclapNewman]

The truth often is.

[EyeballKid]

The morphed picture is as gross and surreal as the campaign has become. As strange and scary the image is, I think that it reflects the entirely macabre and twisted attacks that HRC has engineered against FELLOW DEMOCRAT Obama.

If you're an HRC supporter, there is something to learn from the image, IMO.

[ZsaZsa]

Yes, this picture would even have Salvador Dali turning in his grave. If he were still around, he could paint a Surrealist canvas of the Clinton campaign. Call it "Self-Destruction with Boiled Beans."

[MouthFountain]

Hey, Salvador Dali could draw!

[AMJordan]

Am I the only one who thinks that the Clinton/McCain picture looks a lot like Ryan O'Neal?

[Kalima]

I thought maybe, Benny Hill.

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

LOL

[GrouchoMarxist]

Heh...it does look like Benny Hill

[MichiganJFrog]

Hehehehe.
