Clinton Dodges Questions About Rezko

Such a strong woman she has been treated unfair since Iowa and yet she goes on she will make a wonderful president

I can’t believe the Obama camp has the gall to pull down Sen. Clinton’s considerable experience given that he has none.
Since he has now even lost his “judgement” argument (which was lame to begin with) he does not have much scope to make a positive argument for himself.

How many people have met the Secretary of N. Ireland? She is exaggreting in order to look as if she was involved in peace making in N.Ireland.
Cheat those who are less educated and voting for you Hillary. The rest are so clever and can not be twisted around as you want them to be!

Give the press credit. Their job is to try to build a news story from whatever angle of manipulation works the best. However, the questions to Senator Hillary Clinton did not quite produce the results the press had hoped for.
Senator Clinton showed correct restraint, posture, and experience when she refused to bite at questions that would have been skewed by the pro-Obama press and the Axelrod spin machine.
And, once again, Senator Clinton reminded voters of how November’s election will be won; not with caucus delegates, not with the popular vote, not with the most red state “wins,” but with a majority of the electoral votes.

Obamas chickens are nothing compared to the field of Clinton “cattle” that will come home to “roost” if she gets the nomination.
He has a few small chicken issues… she has massive …amounts of giant chickens.
…but oh yes we are supposed not mention that.

The Reverend Wright has no bearing on the continually changing figures of the Rezko campaign contribution figures.
The amount Barak Obama actually received has risen from insignificant to about a quarter of a million dollars. Who knows how much higher that figure will be by August.
However, voters should continue to be reminded of the words of Barak Obama’s “old uncle” and spiritual advisor, former pastor of the church Barak Obama attended and was a member of for over 20 years, the Reverend Wright:
“The government gives them (blacks) the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.
Barack knows what it means to be a black man to be living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary can never know that. Hillary ain’t never been called a n—-r.”
Barak Obama stated he will continue his membership in the Church of Christ where Reverend Wright pastored and was the inspiration for an Obama book.

To the Obama supporters,
Clinton has been vetted – remember the $40 million spent and no evidence of wrongdoing? Remember: it’s easier for Axelrod/Obama to create a persona than to have to defend a substantive record. That was his strategy; however, as his friend and mentor likes to say “the chickens have come home to roost”.

Hillary has a contributor of the name Hsu have you heard of him…was just rearrested…who contibuted millions… and you should look it up. Isn’t it funny how the press asks this and you all bring up rezko’s 250k and this guy hasn’t been asked about once…not to mention how much he gave to Bill Clintons Initiative
Hillary was fined 35k and has been on charges for a crook named Paul who is never spoken of…and her fine is never mentioned. Paulk is suing her after raising tons of money for her and paying millions for a democratic fundraiser for her.
Stop …your candidate has a very dirty glass house. Leave this argument at the door.
I think the pastor is a horribly troubled guy…he looks like afriggin whack job on those videos…but there are a lot of well know Chicagoans that went to that church that are now saying the same thing as Barack … they were disgusted by the words and actions.

So Hillary is quoted as saying, “I think it is significant that I have won Ohio and I won Florida….” Madam, you did NOT win Florida. A legitimate campaign was not conducted in Florida, so no way was there a winner. If HRC continues to try and usurp the Florida delegates she should be left in the dust.

…and as far as the Clintons not having details released to the press… I bet they are going to start coming as soon as they think that obama isn’t the nominee … marc my words…
what’s his name Fleisher said it last night on Fox…they are just starting to see how they can run against Obama… …they haven’t wanted to knock Hillary out…
but the surge of all this stuff that will pass mostly will keep them in limbo until we stupidly pick sen Clinton.
I get it dogsoldier… I said a few times here on these blogs…he needed to give me an explanation and I need more details… but I have met the guy and her… I really don’t think he is that good of an actor. He I am sure was there…
but I have to say I do have a bunch of crazy almost evil relatives…that I have to spend Christmas with … I also know that I go to church but I have no idea what my pastor says when I am not there… I have a general sense that he is a republican… I mean don’t you have someone in your life that is close to you or a family member that says some things or worse does something that could reflect on you but you can’t disavow them.
Trust me I wrote a really strong letter to Michelle Obama (via) the internet (not that I know her) when i saw it.
I still remember the two candidates I met and … well, I was a supporter of hers until then because I like everybody else had gotten caught up in the thought and the arguments until…well I woke up and saw…this guy who I generally trust…and who doesn’t seem like he is spouting things that were churned out in a political poll watching machine.
That’s all.

Elsies-Us democrats are not afraid of having a real primary with real issues and real questions. But hang in there. We’ll get around to you guys later. And as you can see for yourself this time around us democrats are merely rounding out into fine fighting form. And when we do get around to you republicans only God can show you mercy because we won’t.

“DCVoter”,
Hillary Clinton continues to show class and leadership. This article was wrongly title, inappropriately using the term dodging as if it were Clinton who had something to hide, when Clinton stands in integrity on this whole matter. This is another case of “PRESS GONE WILD”.

George – i respect your right to free speech but please dont misquote me LOL you will not ever see me saying God Bless anything in a political discussion… I strongly believe in the separation of church and state. As for accusations of paid bloggers? I was accused of it weeks ago and several people asked me if Obama had paid bloggers and I stated we only have rumors and the Freedom of Information Act may not apply to campaigns to prove it one way or another… as an online professional, I would say it is likely since there are a lot of paid bloggers and moderators all over the Internet… i personally do not get paid to blog but it would be great if i did!… i dont think there is anything wrong with it… it is how the blogosphere works to increase page views that are used to increase the price of advertising real estate etc… but i do think those who are paid to blog should stay up to date… cant take a joke? ok thats fine :)

hiya WestCoastMessenger – yes I agree but hey that is how the news peeps “tease” people into clicking the link to read the article… truthfully, I thought it would be an article legitimately relating Rezko to Clinton… but so far we have not seen that happen… i think she had the correct response to the reporter’s questions

MattOhio – aside from the hate speech, i find his language like that and the sexual gestures not only demeaning but inappropriate for a mixed congregation (children are present)… it is disturbing that Obama and other parents in that congregation expose their children to that stuff… i think it is good that Obama rejects inappropriate statements by Wright including the sermon about Bill “riding dirty”… but the poor judgement up till now and the lying about not knowing about them until now is what bothers me about Obama as a candidate… i am glad I have always supported Clinton and no longer support Obama as a running mate

I can’t wait until we can get back to real issues of policy, but the press and the Clinton campaign don’t seem interested. As an Irish-American, I’m offended by Hillary Clinton’s “wee bit silly” claim that she contributed to peace in Ireland. As an American-American, I don’t think she should be pointing fingers regarding Rezko, who also contributed to the Clintons.

Malthusian77-Gerry Adams, the Sinn Fein leader, told the “Irish Times”that “Senator Clinton played an important role in the peace process” So if the IRA leader say Clinton did her thing he should know as it was the IRA who had to put down their weapons. ANd that’s good enough for me.

Dogsoldier: It was Lord Trimble who called her claims a “wee bit silly.” It is true that she was marginally evolved, but the way she phrases it exaggerates what the historical record shows.

Malthusian77-Thank you for your response and your civil tone. I believe Hillary did her thing as an American, however, I do believe it was some of her ideas that Gerry Adams meant when he commented on this story as Hillary had behind the scenes access to him during many critical phases of this tortured peace process. And as you know how delicate that process was at the time. Only later did the protestants come on board and Hillary did not have much access to the Ian Paisley side. So I believe we may well be both correct on this issue.

PB.. Please be aware that Hillary is more the person you are describing the Obama. Don’t you know when you are looking at or listening to honesty? Arrogance, pride and many adjectives, (Words which subjectively describe) is an emotional or feel that blinds the eye from seeing the real world. Society,is a place where we all live separately, is set up a certain way so we can see things the way society wants them viewed. But if you are at all independent in your thinking and a little color blind, I would invite you to look at what each candidate would do for you. None of them are perfect, all of them are flawed, color and/or race can do nothing for our impending financial crash. We can’t have Bush again, McCain needs an Army (You may still be young enough for the draft) and Hillary would, for sure, bring Bill back into the White House, a violation of Federal Law. So what do you have? You want to kick a man out because his minister is nuts…
makes no sense to me being that drastic about anything… or maybe if anyone hates anyone else racially, we should not elect them president? Then we need to get someone in here from the moon. The Governor of California, you know, the German. We wanted to partitition the American people to change the law that only permits an an American born to run for the presidency. Well, maybe we should change the law so that it reads only WHITE person born in Americacan run for the president. you see we are all guilty of racism because we are separated that way. We don’t know each other, we have great fear of each other, everyone of us think that the other race is of the devil. White and black people, they built this country, yet we fight so much that we can’t see foriegn people coming in here legal and illegally, then fleecing the country and leaving with a pocket full All in the mist of our fighting each other. You know, maybe one of the races Blk or Wht, will win the on going fight but then what will the winner have as a trophy?…. Please, go out and meet someone of another race this year just like I did and once you get to know them, bet you’ll say the same thing everyone else who have dared to have the experience says; “he/she is different than all the others” Not different,you just know that person!!!!
The most powerful country on earth! We can do all things together!

Johnny & Dogsoldier: Thanks for the conversation. Now I’ve got to go cook dinner for my wife and kids. We’ll find a way to unite Democrats behind Obama and/or Clinton (and you know I strongly prefer Obama.) Can we do it? To quote both Obama and Bob the Builder: YES WE CAN!

Hillary for once was not a horrible witch. Maybe this new face will give her a better standing. Also, why should she continue to attack Obama if there are others doing this work right now?
Wait until this storm leaves and you will see the real Hillary again.

What about the skeletons in Hillary’s closet? Still hasn’t released her Tax Returns, her Relationship to Spitzer, and Rezko. She blocked the release of White House documents. Vote on the War. A womans most admirable trait is deception? I thought it was honesty. Obama ’08

GO HILLARY!!!
Obama should dropout! America do not need your lies!

I would really think twice about referring to Obama as a liar when you have a rascist divider who can’t do her own bidding and her soon-to-be-ex-assocaites do it for her. There were pollsters perdicting she would take this course months ago. How predictable.

None of this is rellivant.
How does the democratic party put forth Obama when the republicans are waiting with armed evidence to DESTROY him in the general election.
Its INSANITY.
Obama is simply unelectable.
Yes, we know they are trying to ‘damage control’ it and ‘see how it plays out’ .
But anyone with 1/2 a brain knows the republicans have the tapes. The DENIALS by Obama he ‘never knew’ for TWENTY YEARS.
Michelle Obamas anti american comments.
He CANNOT win the general election. Get over it.

Wait until they see her records if you think this 250. is bad see who is buying her and who she owes favors to….Will shock the crap out of you>>>>>>

exelon officials donated heavily to obama campaign…..legislation weakened by obama in favor of exelon……what’s the logical inference here?

Why want you ask about Clinton tax returns.Why is that off limits.Obama pastor comments and Rezko has been known for a year now…why let Clinton get away with not disclosing what her earmarks are for…

I am glad Hillary kept her mouth shut on this one. She’s smart enough to know that he will self destruct all by himself.

Ahem — at the end of this difficult week, Obama picked up SEVEN additional delegates in Iowa today, to Clinton’s ONE.
Nobel Peace Prize winner David Trimble (for his role in the Northern Ireland settlement) did refer to Hillary’s trying to take credit for a significant role in the Good Friday accords “a wee bit silly.”
And yesterday we get confirmation from Orrin Hatch that she’s been lying about her role in the passage of SCHIP, too.
It’s about time the media started looking behind Hillary’s claim of 35 years of so-called “experience” — it’s a bunch of fabrications and hot air.
Nobody really knows who she is because she has manufactured a public persona that is not genuine. You can read her ghost-written memoir and come away without a clue about who she is. The same cannot be said of Obama’s insightful and self-revealing “Dreams From My Father,” which provides real insight into the man — and he wrote it himself.
It is my fervent hope that the leaders of the Democratic party like Richardson, Edwards and Gore will express their disgust for Hillary’s lying and her slash-and-burn, party-destroying tactics and endorse Obama, the sooner the better. His steadiness and composure throughout this campaign leads to the conclusion that HE is the one we should want answering that 3:00 a.m. phone call — not Hillary the phony or McCain he hothead.

HRC says :I don’t know how many times Sen Obama has met with the secretary of state from Northern Ireland, and I really feel very privileged that I played a role.”
This is not fair because Hillary has Sinbad and Sheryl Crow helping her out.
Obama is at a disadvantage be Sheryl Crow and Sinbad are busy shilling for Hill.

This is not an accurate comparison…Wright to Ferraro. She was pretty much politically incorrect and I think inaccurate where Obama is concerned. However Wright’s message was over-the-top and pretty consistant. Obama claims never to have heard it in the 20 years that he attended this church.
Both had roles in the respective campaigns. Ferraro’s was a voluntary position which she resigned. Obama actually put his Reverend in a compaign position after he knew for certain of the “911 is white America’s” fault rhetoric.
I like Obama but he shows very poor judgement and still refuses to prove “commander in chief” credentials.
Instead he wants to tear down Hillary’s experience when he should be trying to beef his own up. I was against the war. I gave impassioned pleas against it. Obama needs to show more leadership skills and stop trying to tear down Hillary’s record.
Hillary has faced unbelievable media bias. She is turning it around without them. I am liking her more and more. McCain is gaining a little traction.
We need to all get together because Democrats need to win in November!

Hillary and her supporters amaze me. How soon you forget that Hillary agreed to support the Democratic party’s decision to not count Florida and Michigan. Now that she desperately needs those delegates she changes her tune. Typical “old school” politics as fitting as her negative campaign tactics. She has lost this race and cannot admit it.

I have met Margaret Thatcher and Bill Clinton. Guess you should vote for me.

Obama was not smart enough to reject donation from Rezko at his earlier compaign. I can understand why. He did not know how bad his dealing was. That doesnot mean Obama lack correct judgement. That actually shows that he is a trusting person and that is a good personality trait. I like Obama. He is a real person, not pretentive, and I can feel his sincerity from reading his books. May be he would not become a president of the USA. Nevertheless, he has run a good race in this primary. He did not use dirty trick to lowgrade Hillary. He exercise self restraint. I like this guy.

Hillary is such a classy woman.
Obama should get out NOW and let us unite this party. He would get slaughterd by the Repubs – can you see the Repubs laying off Rezko and Wright like Hillary has – Um no and what does that mean – My friends we will lose the election to John McCain.
For people left to vote – please turn this crazy train around before we all suffer.
Support Hillary, campaign for Hillary and contribute to Hillary so we can win the white house and get our economy back

any true democrat knows that California and New York will be blue states in November – regardless of who the nominee is
The problem with Clinton’s argument is that she includes these two populous states as not going blue in November
Check any poll on Real Clear Politics or Rasmussen or TPM and you will see that Sen Obama does MUCH better against Sen McCain in California than Sen Clinton does
Her argument is flat and false
Survey USA clearly shows Sen Obama getting more electoral college votes that Sen Clinton
The big states are important- but so are all the states
After all, had Al Gore one any additional small state in 2000 – Florida would not have mattered and he would have clearly been POTUS
Look at the breakdown in the NYT this am on super delagates on on the elected Superdelegates of Gov, Senators and Congresspeople: Sen Obama has more commited superdelegates than Sen Clinton
Where Sen Clinton has the big advantage in Superdelegates is with the just under 400 party insiders – most of whome have their superdelegate status through former President Clinton
Do you think party insiders- not even elected officials should determine the nominee of the party?
This is why this politicly manipulative line of thinking from the Clinton campaign is as false as her generous VEEP offer–
These are the fairy tales of the campaign

When in American History as there been a revote for 2 states in a Presidential Election. Only when a African American candidate has a great chance do we start these types of unprecedented processes. Interesting!!
SAY NO TO THE RE-VOTE!!

It would be nice to have HRC release her earmarks. Who can tell me they have agreed entirely with everything their pastors have said? Such a person must be really silly. The sins of the guilty must not be visited on the innocent.
America and the world need Obama; not a figure who’s been a war-associate of Mcain and only now denounces him for political purposes.
Obama it is and Obama it should be

Obama supporters can make all of these arguments against Hillary they want, but they forget why they support him is because he is “New”, “Clean” and “Fresh”. We all know now that he is just another politician who will do whatever he has needs to do to better himself. I don’t have to list the number of concerns that are now being expressed by many about Obama’s judgement because you already know. So, my question to you is, don’t you feel a little betrayed that Obama portrayed himself to be this new kid on the block all bright eyed and bushy tailed, only to find out that he has been riding dirty like most politicians do? As for me, I already know that there are no totally clean politicians. Thus, I was not fooled by Obama’s “I Have A Dream” speeches. He had people crying tears of joy because they thought God had delivered Obama to the world. He had people thinking that he was all about the “Truth”. He had people thinking that he was really going to be “Different”. Well I hope some of your are starting to wake up and realize that speeches will not solve our problems. We need someone that knows how the game of politics is played.
Obama may gives us “Dreams”, but Hillary has the “Ways and Means”.
Hillary 08

Senator Hillary Clinton has class! She has character! She is a lifelong advocate for the people. She is a fighter. Senator Obama, for all of his talk about honesty and transparency and judgement and change is now being shown as not quite what he presents himself to be. Rezko, don’t know him; well do know him, raised some money for my campaigns; gave that money away; wait, he raised more money than I thought; “boneheaded” decision to go into real estate deal with Rexko; asked Rev Wright not to speak at his announcement for president; speaks of his Rev as mentor and spiritual advisor of 20 years; didn’t know about Rev controversial remarks; never attended when Rev made these remarks. Either Senator Obama has some of the worst judgement in choosing his friends and advisors, or he is disingenuous in the extreme. Whichever way you look at it, he does not have the character required to lead this country.

She never says what roles she played in bringing peace to Northern Ireland. There is a reason why Obama gets the college educated democrats and independents.. go figure

I can’t wait for your guy, Obama, to be President. He will tax the rich, which we will pay for in higher prices and lost jobs. Don’t play that I voted against the war thing…he wasn’t even in the Senate at the time. After he is done bungling the troop withdrawal, he will have us all paying for health care for everyone even when we have it for ourselves. Then his wife can get up and say that she is finally proud to be an American, or is that an African-American. When he is President, who is he going to blame for his boneheaded decisions then, the Republicans and Hillary Democrats ? It isn’t God Bless America, it is more like God HELP America. Do the math, just a little less that half of the Democrats support Hillary. If he doesn’t get his arrogance and self-rightuousness under control, he will lose us, then who will put him past McCain ? The educated Democrats and Independents ? I am so tired of the arrogance of the Obama people…we are more educated, we are obviously better than everybody else, you certainly do not believe that all were created equal. So, you can have him and his crazy preacher and racist wife and your college educations. BTW I have a BFA Degree from a private college.

i love america, but to remind you guys, forget old divisions for 1960′s mostly the words for Rev. wright. go with the message of hope and change from sen.obama. this is 21century. plan for new generation to come. hey cast you’re votes to barak obama—-2008 definately. the world is wartching!!!!

Senator Clinton is doing what she has to do on all the issues now being exposed on Obama. She is very Presidential and cares about the Democratic Party, not just her own interests. As for me, I do not have to concern myself with responses and now that the truth is finally starting to come out remember, the real truth about Obama will set us free. America, wake up and smell the coffee. Obama doesn’t want his records out anymore than he wants Rezco, his pastor, earmarks, or anything else to come out for that matter. Doesn’t he know by now if, it’s negative information, all he has to do is look sweet and repute, denounce or deny it and the media won’t bring it up again. What a plague on all of us, the mainstream media. FOX is turning out to be more fair in this election than nearly all the rest. Come on media, OB’s not on the level on the Rev. Wright issue or anything else it now seems. He only speaks the truth when he gets caught in a lie or half truth. How much more is lingering out there for Republicans to mo-up the floor with him if, and that’s a big “IF”, he gets the nomination. God help us if he does! Our country needs “US” to stand-up for her now. Our future lingers in the balance of the impending primaries & general election. We need a President to restore our standing at home and abroad. We need Hillary, not inexperience and a very questionable past, and certainly not Senator more of the same, McCain.
