Here's an idea for an Obama ad: a montage of Clinton's Sybillish personalities that have surfaced during the campaign with a solemn voiceover at the end saying, "Does anyone want this nut answering the phone?"
How is it that she became the one who's perceived as more equipped to answer that 3 a.m. call than the unflappable Obama? He, with the ice in his veins, who doesn't panic when he's losing or get too giddy when he's winning, who's as comfortable in his own skin as she's uncomfortable in hers. There have been times in this campaign when she seemed so unhinged that I worried she'd actually kill herself if she lost. Every day, she reminds me more and more of Adele H., who also had an obsession that drove her insane.
A few weeks ago, I started to feel sorry for her. Oh Christ, let her win already...Who cares...It's not worth it. There's not that much difference between them. She can have it. Anything to avoid watching her descend into madness. So I switched. I started rooting for her. It wasn't that hard. Compromise comes easy to me. I was on board.
And then I saw the ad.
I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call...and I was afraid...very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thing this country needs is that woman anywhere near a phone. I don't care if it's 3 a.m. or 10 p.m. or any other time. I don't want her talking to Putin, I don't want her talking to Kim Jong Il, I don't want her talking to my nephew. She needs a long rest. She needs to put on a sarong and some sun block and get away from things for a while, a nice beach somewhere -- somewhere far away, where there are...no phones.
a possibility that a woman must not enter the 'equal' playing field with the disadvantage of - menopause? something like national security in particular - if as clinton suggests one may be called upon to make a split decision - i'd say ,conference call... obama (who has shown judgement beyond his 46+), if in fact the people are starved enough to vote in clinton - which i personally doubt.
in fact, if i were obama, i'd calll her bluff and challenge her to a split-decision-press-button type debate/quiz. let's see who gives not only the better response...but the better response, faster. i'd wage my last penny on obama.

Ever heard of male midlife crisis or male menopause, if comes to that? Of all the disgusting and irrelevant remarks I've seen todate, that takes First Prize. If someone made the racially equivalent remark to that regarding Mr. Obama, people would freakin' implode! Rationale woman? Not.

Thanks for sharing, Larry.
I guess it's bro's before ho's right?
I can't believe how sexist men are. They can't stand the thought of a woman pres.

Poor Larry - he will never live this down but he should have known better. Don't mess with women and make us angry because we won't put up with it.
I'm sure that Larry would agree with them.
Soutins to what? Iraq war? She helped create that problem. She is part of the problem. We need someone who saw it as a problem before it became a problem, and warned as.
Experince? What Experience? In the White House? Doing what? Where are the records showing her experience? The only experience I remember is her healcare plan that ended in utter failure.
Ready on Day 1? Doing what? Dividing the world into "good" and "evil" and refusing to talk to "evil"? That's NeoCon read. We have had it with that kind of ready.
These Hillary supporters are just cultists, they keep on midlessly repeating those slogans. Nothing else.
HOw could you possibly think that Obama has the stamina to beat back the onslaught that befell the likes of Bill Clinton and most recently John Kerry (remember Swift boat)? These individuals had political acumen to sustain the barrage of dirty politics played on them. All Obama has, is his youth cult following many whom are not old enough to vote yet; and his cry of “yes we can” ? All he has are slogans.
Go Obama..............................
OK. Then ask Hillary to stop giving speeches, and stop using her slogans of “experience” and :solutions”
Regarding solutions, war is a huge problem, and she helped create that problem. She is part of that problem. She has no credibility on the issue to be offering any solutions.
On all issues Obama has offered just as detailed plans as Hillary. For example, healthcare. One can debate the merits of Obama's plans against Hillary's, sure, but he is not lacking in detail.
Besides, detailed plans on each issue are quite meaningless at this point. Implementation of any plan would depend largely on what Congress they end up working with. What is important is to set goals and general guidelines. And Obama has done a better job in that than Hillary.
As for experience, sure, Hillary has spent many more years in politics than Obama. But that in itself doesn't qualify her more for President. What's important is accomplishments. And neither Obama nor Hillary have any spectacular accomplishments. And neither does McCain, other than getting shot down a few times, crashing a few airplanes, and getting captured in Vietnam. So, the accomplishment thing is a wash.
On most issues, Hillary and Obama are not very different. On the issue of war, Obama is the only one who made the right call before the war started. And he did it when it was not popular to do so. To me, that distinguishes him from the other two.
Sure, one can question why he has supported funding the war, but there is no question about Hillary. He has consistently sided with the NeoCons. Consistently.
No matter how you look at it, Obama is the best choice in this election.
And since I said this, I'm ready to be called an Obama cultist, because, as all can see, I paid no attention to issues, only to slogans.
Actually, this claim is not true so do not continue to reinforce it.
Obama was an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004, and has been a U.S. Senator since 2004.
Clinton has been a New York senator since 2000.
Obama has three more years as a legislator than Clinton.
The whole Obama manifestion may not have started had the media not been so obviously following his "rock star" fan club. They opened the door to preferential treatment and the people in this country, who do not read history, let alone news papers, jumped on the bandwagon thinking they were missing something, like reality.
Obama himself said that being a state legislator was a part time gig. C'mon, give it up.

Obama is not a moron. Now Bush, well, a majority of the people voted for that MORON in 2004. Hillary is more of the same government (just a little too chummy with the cronies) that's why people don't like her. In addition, she just wants this too badly and is willing to do ANYTHING to become the nominee (she is beyond NOTHING) and that's scary.
What happened to grace? She has forgotten. They speak of dirty politics from Rove yet they are reading from the same script. ENOUGH! Experience isn't really the issue here, it's INTEGRITY; something she lacks (demonstrated by her rhetoric and negative campaining).
GO OBAMA!
Sincerley,
Larry "women belong in the kitchen" David
Hilliary had ample time in the light of day to obtain information and insights from reliable sources and ample time over many weeks to deliberate before deciding to vote for the Iraq war and then again before deciding to vote for the Kyle-Lieberman amendment that identified the Iranian guard as a terrorist group and authorized Bush to take military action against them.
God help us all if anyone thinks she should answer the red phone at 3:00 am. Her history of poor judgement and denial after a judgement error is something that should frighten all parents wishing for a safer world for their children.
