Obama Foreign Policy Adviser Calls Clinton a ‘Monster’

Yes! she should be fired. But Obama won’t fire her and will use some weasal language.

I think Obama and his advisor should apologize to Senator Clinton and her supporters.
Shame!

Well isn’t she?

Such a classy bunch of people, they will surly all be an asset to the presidency, expletives in the WH while talking to the press, I don’t think the voting public can ask for more.
This election is sure taking a new low, I don’t think he will fire her maybe this is all part of the new plan of attack on Hillary.

Who cares if the comment was “private”, the comment is inapropiate; and I think that if Obama practices what he preaches, Power should be fired.

This is a sad day in the Obama campaign. He must come out immediately and apologize. This is yet another example of the “wink wink” candidacy of Barack Obama. He Talks about Hope, but privately harbors this irrational hatred for a politcal rival they call “a monster.” Politics is a tough game. If you cant stand the heat Hillary is giving you, then you wont be able to handle the the real monsters in this world. If Obama doenst hold a press conference ASAP, this becomes a MAJOR MSM SCANDAL I predict.
Barack Obama looking more and more like The “wink wink” candidate! Nafta-Gate, Rezko-Gate, Monster-Gate. All in his first week of real scrutinty…

Monster? Power was being kind. Hillary Clinton a “Democrat” endorsed McCain over Obama at least 5 times in the past 3 days.
If Hillary can’t get her way she wants McCain to be President so she can 4 again 4 years from now.
Hillary is all about Hillary. She does not care about the Country, We the People or the Party.
All she cares about is Hillary and yes that makes her a Monster and so much more.

I think it could also be viewed as an insult to the people of Ohio because he was advertising there 3 or 4 ads ratio to her 1, and he and his campaign had plenty of time to speak for itself.
I think Ohioans decided for themselves.
This tells me a lot more about Samantha Powers and what she is willing to stoop to.
We’ll see whether she gets fired or not.
My guess is she won’t.
Yes, double standards.

“Old politics” as usual — but Obama will likely do nothing about it. He’s peculiarly lackluster and passive on a number of fronts and will be here as well.
Susan Rice skirts this area all the time. And the constant claims of racism they make at every turn — is in the same vein.

Maggie I am thinking just like you. You hit it on the spot. She is trying to feed this election to John McCain, I just said the SAME THING. She is on such power trip that if she does not win, she is trying best to make sure John McCain wins. She is sore loser…

I think she should be promoted and given a huge bonus. Clinton is a monster. How the people in New York ever voted for her as senator is a joke to begin with, She didnt even live there for christ sakes.

Karen, honestly I think it is Obama who is on an ego trip and should drop out for the good of the party. All his delegate lead is from the anti-democratic caucus states. Hillary is the one who has won the big state primaries. Hilalry is the stronger candidate and the more viable candidate against McCain.

Maybe when Obama’s Foreign Policy Advisers pick up the phone at 3.am we all know what they will say (expletive) and hang up

How much money did Obama pay her to say this?

I think Samantha Power is very angry about their big loss in Ohio! It looks like she was the one chosen to do some of the campaign’s dirty work. After all, you can’t have Barack Obama do it. The “celestial choirs might stop singing.”
News for Samantha: Ohio is not the only place Hillary Clinton can win. People there saw her as a fighter and a person who will work hard for them. That is why she won!
And she is Barack Obama’s foreign policy advisor? I think the firing should have been fired a long time ago.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is far better qualified to be the president of our country than any other candidate, including Senator Barak Obama. Mrs. Clinton’s deep grasp of issues and policies makes her far more ready to take on the presidency than Mr. Obama and besides each debate I see Mr. Obama merely copying her; without originality in thought or words not to mention the depth of grasp that she has. His lack of foreign policy experience makes him even less qualified to be our next president and those who give him advice like Samantha Power serves our nations interests poorly.

She isn’t employed by the campaign so she can’t be fired.
She is right – Senator Clinton has employed the most ridiculous tactics.

Maddie here the facts so even you can understand. It’s from Canadian papers: “Mr. [Ian] Brodie, [PM Harper’s chief of staff], during the media lockup for the Feb. 26 budget, stopped to chat with several journalists, and was surrounded by a group from CTV. The conversation turned to the pledges to renegotiate the North American free-trade agreement made by the two Democratic contenders, Mr. Obama and New York Senator Hillary Clinton.
“Mr. Brodie, apparently seeking to play down the potential impact on Canada, told the reporters the threat was not serious, and that someone from Ms. Clinton’s campaign had even contacted Canadian diplomats to tell them not to worry because the NAFTA threats were mostly political posturing. The Canadian Press cited an unnamed source last night as saying that several people overheard the remark.
“The news agency quoted that source as saying that Mr. Brodie said that someone from Ms. Clinton’s campaign called and was ‘telling the embassy to take it with a grain of salt.’
“The story was followed by CTV’s Washington bureau chief, Tom Clark, who reported that the Obama campaign, not the Clinton’s, had reassured Canadian diplomats.
“Mr. Clark cited unnamed Canadian sources in his initial report. There was no explanation last night for why Mr. Brodie was said to have referred to the Clinton campaign but the news report was about the Obama campaign.”

Maddie you Obama supporters love to say only the uneducated support Hillary, now don’t make your group liars.
If you took the time to read all the reports you would see exactly who spoke to the Canadians, even Obama admitted that the guy who spoke to the about NAFTA was just a economist and not a politician, so check on your fact a little please, and get a better picture of what happened.

First a Univ. of Chicago prof secretly meets with Canadians about NAFTA; now a Harvard prof. makes fun of our neighbor state, Ohio.
Hey Obama, we don’t need all these private school snobs making our policies.
Pennsylvania is part of the U.S.A. and you can take all your Harvard advisers and tell them to get lost.

The disdain for the voter, and, interestingly, for poor people, comes through loud and clear. Just what we need from the Democratic nominee. If the Democrats disdain the poor, the poor really have nowhere to turn. Clearly, Obama people love caucuses, which poor people (and old people) can’t attend. I think of them as a violent herd, trampling the weak, the tired, the poor…

Samantha Power speaks for a lot of people who have observed the Clintons during this and other campaign seasons. They are conniving, manipulative, and down right deceitful. Now there’s a news story out that one of Hillary’s surrogates visited Canadian officials and was pruported to have said that they should not take Hillary’s stance on Nafta seriously. Boy, that’s rich! Hillary accuses Obama of the same thing her campaign aid has done, but it doesn’t get reported because she’s too busy crying foul about Obama. Just rip up the Democratic Party; just bully the DNC into counting delegates in Florida and Michigan, states that were penalized for moving up their Primaries before Feb. 5. States where Hillary Made A Promise not to campaign in, but she’s fighting for those delegates now. Is there such a thing as wanting something Too Much, so much so that you’ll do anything and destroy anyone to get it?

Say what you want about McCain, if I had to pick between McCain and Obama, I will pick McCain any day, class is class and one thing I am abundantly sure he will never get into trash talking about Obama if he was running against him.
You know what the say you can never find gold in a coals bag no matter how hard you look, Obama and his goon camp have no class and are not fit to even be running in this race.

Eiz : do you have any idea what a gaffe is for anyone in her position ( foreign policy advisor to a US presidential candidate) to be using that language and talking like that against anyone at all *overseas* ?
She is not you, Axelrod or some political
operative. She is his FOREIGN POLICY ADVISOR using vulgar language about the US political process and candidates OVERSEAS.
And the three of them (Clinton McCain and Obama) are *also* US Senators.
She just CANNOT use that language.
Everyone knows she is Obama’s foreign policy advisor and her language reflects awfully bad on him. He doesn’t need this. That’s for sure.
That is the point.

I’m sorry…People want to talk about the one thing that came from the Obama camp (Monster comment) when all Sen Clinton has been doing is Mud Slinging this whole time??? Ironic. I’m on the edge of my seat to see what she has up her sleave next.. GO OBAMA!!

Wow! This is not about Hillary at all — she has been called worse and she can take it. These Obama supporters sound immature not to mention his advisors. Read the original article — the language and the ideas are not befitting a prof and a director in an Ivy League institution not to mention being the POLICY advisor for a presidential candidate. Did she have any positive thing to say about her boss and his substantive position in that article? It is all about low-class anti-Hillary diatribe. Actually as the reporter says it reveals the inexperience of this campaign. They all need to grow up! That “this is off the record” gave me a hearty chuckle.

Let us examine Obama’s political team…
Goolsbee – Sr Economic Advisor. Goofed up with NaftaGate.
Samantha Powers – Foreign Policy Advisor – Goofed up by slandering DNC Nomination Opponent.
Axelrod – Chief Campaign Strategist. Goofed up all Primary states. Big Mistake
Michelle Obama – Wife and America-hater. Promotes racial-divide in America.
Kerry – Biggest Ketchup Moron. Couldnt finish off Bush, has come to fight with a Clinton. What a joke
and the list goes on…….

One more time for Mr. Unity US so even he can understand.
“The news agency quoted that source as saying that Mr. Brodie said that someone from Ms. Clinton’s campaign called and was ‘telling the embassy to take it with a grain of salt.’
“The story was followed by CTV’s Washington bureau chief, Tom Clark, who reported that the Obama campaign, not the Clinton’s, had reassured Canadian diplomats.
“Mr. Clark cited unnamed Canadian sources in his initial report. There was no explanation last night for why Mr. Brodie was said to have referred to the Clinton campaign but the news report was about the Obama campaign.”

I am just waiting patiently to see how the media is going to handle this. If you substitute Hillary’s campaign for this foul language hell will definitely break loose. It seems to me anytime Obama sustains a heavy loss, he thinks negative campaigning from the other side is responsible. Look at yourself and figure out how a campaign of hopes and inspiration topped up with speeches can fix the montrous problems we have now. What is the campaign going to do with Samantha?

I thought this was the candidate for change I guess he sends a women to do his dirty work Senator Clinton did not attack him personally but it looks like no matter what he can’t do no wrong.

Tom,
Get your facts straight, please. The only document any of the candidates signed was that they wouldn’t campaign in FL and MI (a pledge BO broke by the way when he bought ads in FL). No one signed an agreement that the delegates wouldn’t count. That was a DNC decision.

I’m also a McCain supporter and I have to hand it to the Clinton campaign for helping us prove to the American people that our guy is the most experienced – and will the best choice for protecting our country!
We need that vote of confidence from our friend, Senator Clinton! A voice of reason within the collapsing Democratic party.

It seems as if Hillary Clinton gets called a new name by the Obama campaign pretty much on a daily basis.
There has been much worse, and I doubt whether she will lose any sleep over it.
But, the move was incredibly stupid coming from a campaign that claims to be above politics as usual.
Change we can believe in?
Yeah, right…

There’s a foreign policy strategy, call your opponent names. If Hugo Chavez is being irascible Obama’s team can call him up and tell him he’s a MEANIE!

These comments do not reflect my feelings about Sen. Clinton.
Well Sammy why did you take the time to say them then??? Guess someone told you that you made an out so now you feel this watered down apology will do….nope apology not accepted!!!!

Look – the people who really know Hillary, like Hillary.
Both people she works with and people who don’t have political agendas like Steven Spielberg, John Glenn, etc.
If you can’t trust good guys like Steven Spielberg and John Glenn, who can you trust?
They wouldn’t be friends with, and support a monster. They KNOW she is not a monster.
The people who call her these things are the people who don’t truly know her.
These comments were very immature on the part of Mrs. Powers, and I do feel like the Obama campaign is often acting very immature, taking and making things personal, when this is really about who is more qualified.
For me, it is not at all a personal or racial attack that Barack is not as qualified at this time. But it is my hope that he is not our candidate this time, because I think we will lose. He just doesn’t have enough proven national experience, and the Republicans will exploit that way more than Hillary’s mere mentioning of it.
He’s already showing how flimsy he is.
I hope he runs again when he has more experience. He would have a better chance after he has proven himself more.
I would like to see him have a chance when he is more qualified and see what he could really do.
But I don’t think he will get that chance this time – a lot of swing voters like McCain too. And they are both weak on the economy.

Samantha Power is a Pulitzer Prize winner and an expert in genocide. It’s unfortunate that her personal thoughts during a moment of frustration with the Ohio results was publicly aired, especially when she meant for them to be off the record.
Any honest person has to assume that Clinton operatives say some very nasty things about Senator Obama in private. People get emotional over their candidates.
I don’t think this reflects the message of the Obama campaign at all. And we shouldn’t blow this thing out of proportion.

It is a given that McCain’s military background certainly does not disqualify him as Commander In Chief ala Kerry in 2004. HRC is just stating the obvious about that part of it. It is his GOP warmongering idealogical mindset and his famous temper that screws him up as someone you would want in the job. Do you really want this guy’s finger on the button ? But HRC was stating the obvious on the qualified part of that. What, she should say he is not ? Nobody will ever buy that a war vet is not CIC material up front. That dog won’t hunt.

Surprised that these Ivy league graduates have no clue about protocol. She is now saying her words do not reflect her feelings or whatever, she does not know not to talk to a reporter if you do not mean what you say?
This is the change all of you who have jumped on the wagon can believe in. A foreign policy advisor insulting another candidate. It is much much better than an experienced politician isn’t it. Yes who’s next on their list?

For FL and MI, the best option is to award half of the awarded delegates from each state to the candidates, since do-over is expensive. Clinton would net about 90.

Obama really needs to address how his team is behaving and he needs to take leadership of them. Obama also needs to address that his supports need to bring it down in tone and hatred they are showing to his fellow Sentor, remember after all is settled that Obama may need Hillary’s supporters to win, don’t think you don’t, if you do then McCain surley will win. Calling Hillary names and constanly ranting on about how you hate her only makes republicans happy. If Hillary doesn’t get the nod then I would support Obama, but the sad thing is I don’t think you Obama supports would support Hillary, you would rather have 4 more years of Bush policy.

Apology accepted? Can we now get on with the real issues at hand?
I do think the more we infight, the more McCain wins.

Thanks, Ken.
The first Clinton administration got us out of a recession and deficit and into a surplus and prosperity, so I am sure that they will use what they learned when they did that, but adjust it to current conditions.
Not to say that it’s going to be easy, but I definitely think that there’s no one more qualified to help the economy.

A monstrous comment, and Power should be fired. The apology is necessary but not sufficient, after a senior foreign affairs advisor and a journalist shoots off her mouth to the international press, and only then tries to make it “off the record,” and at a time when we have to restore our world status. Instead, she offers no “hope” that her candidate would help us recover from the amateur hour that has stretched to amateurish, agonizing years under Bush.
For the first time, will Obama finally live up to his vow to fire anyone in his campaign who crosses the line? Clinton did so. Not Obama, not yet. Instead, he “decries” Power’s comment. Pfffft.
Neither her candidate nor Power — nor Goolsbee nor too many other Obama advisers in only the last couple of days — are ready for prime time even during a campaign. He cannot be elected to represent us, not with his judgment on staff. What next, put these people in his cabinet?

If Ms. Power says that Hillary is a monster then it must mean that she expects Obama would sit down with her face to face in person within the first year … as he has pledged to do with all the other monsters.

Susan Rice said NONE of the three candidates are ready for the 3 am phone call because none of them has been the president.
If you go along with Clinton’s logic, Laura Bush more qualified to make national security decisions than John McCain.

It is time for Democrats to call on Obama to suspend his campaign and wait 8 years so that he can gain some experience, put his name to significant legislation and learn more about foreign policy, hold a few hearings instead of campaigning, learn that universal access is not universal health care, and not sneer about helping people whose homes are being foreclosed. He doesn’t do that anymore, but his first reaction to a freeze was that it would benefit wealthy home owners or speculators.
He is the one who has said that if he wins, her supporters will vote for him, but he cannot expect the same if she wins.
Let him be the healer and uniter and make sure that his voters support Hillary for President, not threaten that they will not. That is bullying and blackmail – neither an attractive trait. This is a time for leadership and unity.
Senator Clinton will stay positive, talking about specific and practical solutions for real people and their problems. That should not keep her from drawing distinctions with Obama and calling attention to gaps between rhetoric and reality such as with his failure to hold hearings as chair of an important subcommittee, his inexperience, and the shortcomings of his health care plan.
Can we all agree that it would be better to raise money and spend time and energy re-grouping to beat McCain?
I am already sensing that there may be spreading buyer’s remorse as Hillary’s competence and achievements become increasingly clear and compelling. As Gov. Ed Redell of PA says, “she has the best ideas, a wealth of experience and is ready to be President!”
We know that Hillary will work hard to earn every vote, and we all can mobilize our enthusiasm and pride, and help make the distinctions and comparisons that will advance her candidacy.

valerie: My gal is ready to take the call. She will not meet with dictators over lunch. She will hold meetings about whats going on with Nato’s fight in Afganistan. She is ready on day one! With Hillary america will be safe!

This woman was not involved with the heavy daily pressure of the Obama campaign. She was overseas and had time to unwind and actually think without the pressure. This woman still made those comments. There is no explaining this away.

I am amazed and astounded that Ms. Power – not only in the position she has in the Obama campaign but her position at Harvard would say something so “nasty and personal.” It’s no secret that many journalists in cable media hate the Clintons and even when they are supposedly being objective, news is obviously skewed in favor of Obama. Unfortunately many of these cable pundits have had to eat crow with Senator Clinton’s decisive win of Ohio, unexpected win of the primaries in Texas and landslide in Rhode Island. Because many in cable media have given until quite recently a “free pass” to Senator Obama and his campaign, I think that the Obama campaign has become quite arrogant thinking that they can say and do anything and the media will “wink, wink” if Obama or his minions are less than politically or ethically correct. Well the honeymoon is over. Stories are beginning to surface that show Senator Obama and his associates and some of his advisers are anything but unifiers. It’s not just politics as usual; it’s politics at its worst. I’ve been a Democrat all of my life and have voted Democratic in every Presidential election since I was old enough to vote but if Senator Clinton is not on the ticket this Fall, I don’t know who I will vote for. Certain members of cable media and people like Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Claire McCaskill have tried to ramrod Obama down our throats. But my husband and I weren’t born yesterday. (We both will be 60 later this year.)We know Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for President running this year. She has the best economic plan, the best healthcare plan, and she has a real record of working across the aisle. What’s more she is a fighter – not someone who votes “present” on controversial bills. She has been knocked and punched around and has come back each time to do what she has always done – fight for the rights of those she serves. Obama is “much ado about nothing.” He probably won’t fire Ms. Power although he should by anybody’s standards and it will be interesting to see if this hateful rhetoric will be even be aired by the media or if it is mentionned – more like a footnote. Of course if the Clinton campaign had attacked Obama in such a personal way, we would be hearing about it for weeks. After all, it’s negative campaigning when Hillary points out facts which are a matter of public record which are not in agreement with his rhetoric. I thought this was a presidential campaign and that’s what opponents did so the voters could decide who is best suited for arguably one of the most important jobs in the world.

Obama should fire her and make it very clear he is not only strong against Hillary’s bad politics but within his own camp. I am a full supporter of Obama and would rather much see him take a stance on this issue BOLD, STRONG and with MUCH AUTHORITY!

Hey Valerie, remember the “Axis of Evil” guy. So Samantha Power is an expert at genocide, and now name-calling. By the way, just because you say something is probably happening doesn’t make it so. You might be a MEANIE!

OBAMA-YIKES: 10:40. RE: CLINTON ADVISORS. On advisors, you might want to check out the Washington Post today. It gives an in-depth view of the people Hillary surrounds herself with. People who are undisciplined, constantly at odds, say some very bad words, and seem to hate one another passionately. One of those people is Mark Penn. He is worldwide CEO of Burson Marstaller, the firm which prepped the Blackwater Security firm before their congressional hearings in the fall (for killing civilians in Iraq). The firm is also well-known for its PR work with repressive regimes. They whitewashed the Saudis after 9-11. Not very pretty. Penn is one of her top advisors, takes credit for the win in Ohio – and is lead on the new Clinton approach. What does this say about Clinton?
Samantha Powers sounds a little like one of our presidential candidates – sounds off without thinking and has never had an unexpressed thought. Definitely not the kind of person you’d want in a tough and closely watched campaign. She has a short-life in politics, still, I defy anyone to compare her to Mark Penn.
On the third candidate, McCain, I guess it would be pretty tough to comment, since the press doesn’t cover McCain. They just visit him in at his ranch in Sedona and eat ribs.
One last thing: is the press going to start reporting any time soon? They spent the early 90s on Whitewater – instead of health care. They spent the late 90s on Monica. They’ve helped elect Bush by reporting on trivialities and spent the Bush years typing his lies as fast as he spewed them out, without question or investigation. Now we get stories about body language and more real estate deals and pols who are almost as snarky as the correpondents. I want reporters again. Real ones. Like David Halberstein and Edward R Murrow. People who had intelligence and courage and knew what mattered. And wrote about it.

PammyH wasn’t Jessie Jackson sent to lower zombotia by the Obama camp. Saw it on SNL.

Wow. Honestly I’m shocked at how unprofessional Power behaved in front of a foreign press. She insulted Senator Clinton, millions of Clinton supporters, Ohio voters and even the poor.

Well Samantha,
Thank you for expressing the views of the Obama campaign to the world!
Nice of you to also belittle the good people of Ohio as well as the poor people of America with your vile remarks about Senator Clinton!
Hope all those Super Delegates are taking notice of the Obama campaigns words and actions, although once again the damage has been said and even if Obama takes action this time around doesn’t make up for all the misdeeds that have happened in the past!
As the slew of vile comments made and done by the Obama campaign are disgusting, starting with Michelle Obama turning statements made by former President Clinton on Barack’s 2002 speech on Iraq and subsiquent stances as “fairy tale” into racial remarks were not called for in the least, to the exposed memos by Obama’s vampaign in SC of turning the heat on about Hillary’s MLK statement into racial remarks, to NAFTA-gate and now this!
Thank you Obama campaign for showing us the NEW WASHINGTOM you stump on bringing if elected!
The most disgusting exibit of politics in modern history being shown as the New Politics, simply disgusting!

Cathy: Your comments were true as well as intelligent. The problem with the Obama campaign is that they have great speeches but no plan for america’s future. Like Lincoln said “you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” Finally america is wakening up!

I applaud you Cathy .
This is one of the most important jobs in the world, and much of the press has been favoring style over substance.
There are plenty of other areas in our lives where we can choose style, but in many areas where what is substantial is truly what is most important.
It’s really our country’s weakness that style is often favored over important substance.
Even with the press playing Obama up and Hillary down, many have voted for Hillary. It makes me feel better about our country, that people can’t be influenced so easily.
They were surprised when Hillary did so well on super Tuesday. Then Obama won more smaller states, and with the caucuses that are hard for a lot of people to attend.
But the big states tell the bigger story. And that is that people know Hillary is the more qualified candidate.
Barack will have his turn when he is more qualified.
And it’s not that Barack is all style and no substance, but at this point he’s mostly style without a lot of proven substance.

to samantha ,
well samantha, ive been a huge fan of yours forever..until this moment when i saw hmmm the woman behind all the human rights lingo about human dignity sort of tears down people herself. How interesting Ms. Power. Ive heard you speak at genocide conventions, turns out you yourself are a little ruthless at the mouth. How unbecoming of such an intellect… in the meantime, im giving your books to the local library.

To all you Obama supporters. The democratic party has given FL and MI to the republicans with out a fight. So we’re down two to nothing before the general begins. There will be no caucuses in the red states to run up the score. The McCain folks will be using Power’s words over and over in Ohio on how stupid they are-So I’d be interested in how you expect Obama to win the White House now?

The way things look for Obama with the Rezco trial,(Obama’s name came out in day 1)it does not look like a man headed for the White House, but to Gitmo.

Those who are feigning outrage over this need to get over themselves very quickly.
For months, the Clinton campaign has been silently condoning and enabling and actively nurturing every kind of racially and religiously charged name and / or false characterization of Obama.
“Monster” is, in comparison, a model of restraint.
And you know what? What Hillary Clinton and her campaign are saying and doing right now, with respect to Obama, IS ethically monstrous.
That, clearly, is the sense of Powers’s comment — a comment FOR which she obviously had to apologize but WITH which I and, I am quite sure, countless others wholeheartedly agree.

Hey “Daisy”, if she’s so smart how come she’s so stupid?

I love the update, it’s kind of like, “Well I said it but I didn’t really mean it, wink, wink”. Hey, this is not the first time we’ve heard that winking sound coming out of the Obama camp. The man has a GOLDEN TICKET (let’s blame Canada).

horizonr,
Well those who believe that about the Clintons are being nothing much more than paranoid haters themselves.
Because the Clintons have always been great civil rights activists and supporters.
It’s some of the press and Obama supporters and campaign who are paranoid about race, and have ‘made’ it about race.
I really get the impression that Michelle Obama especially thinks everything is about race.
It is not racist to say that Obama does not truly have enough experience. He only has 3 years national experience.
If he were white, people would say the same thing.
Qualifications and proven national political experience matter.
To be President of the United States, qualifications matter.

the “audacity of the hope-less” … how quickly Obama-maniacs turn ugly.

Mom of 3, shame on you- where are the facts and logic to support your claim. Hey, I bet your own kids say that about you sometimes. Can’t fire your kids. Ms. Power should be fired, though, she’s supposed to be a grown-up.

I am a devoted democrat, and I am really tired of many on the left who try to blame all the things they wish were different in the world on the Clintons.
Stop making the Clintons your scapegoat.
They accomplished tremendous good for this country – one of the most socio-economically prosperous times in our nation’s history.
They get criticized if they intervened in another countries fights and criticized if they didn’t.
Well, it’s easy to armchair politic.
But the truth is these are always incredibly complicated situations.
Rwanda was a mess with people running around with hatchets – it wasn’t considered safe for anyone.
What do you do when people are running around hatcheting each other up everywhere?
Go in with troops, and what?
Shoot them? No one would like that either.
You don’t want to bomb them either.
Tear gas them?
Then what else?
It all happened so fast – most of the media had to leave – in the moment it was so hard to figure out exactly what to do. As the US, we often get criticized no matter what we do.
It’s always easier to figure a better potential solution out later.
Overall, the Clintons did an excellent job and they were and still are, loved around the world.

You are all destroying the democratic party so I would have to guess you are ron paul’s supporters. Black people are misbehaving . They injected the race card to Bill Clinton check the facts. S. Powers need to apologize to the american people. Obama supporters really need the hope and change. he is right he needs to change you not us , there is nothing wrong with us

“So Saddened”, so you have met the enemy and they is us. Hey that’s right out of Pogo. I thought we discovered that we were the ones that we’ve been waiting for, but now it turns out we (in this blog) are not included in the chosen ones. Hey, this story doesn’t turn out where there are twelve of you guys and a last supper scheduled, does it?

WestCoastMessenger, I am not sure what applepie was saying but I think it may have been the other way around from what you thought.

Maybe you were right WestCoastMessenger.
All this you and us, it’s hard to tell.

Yeah, Lauren, you are probably right, but the whole Ron Paul thing threw me way off, so just in case, I thought I’d throw a screwball. ApplePie is probably a very nice person. Hmmm, I think I’ll go get something to eat.

Sam Lim: Hmmm. Samantha Power (Barack Obama’s foreign policy advisor) is using Hillary Clinton to sell a book. And what a better way to do it than to go overseas, conduct an interview which bashes Hillary, suffer possible job loss not to mention humiliation, and having to apologize to Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, and potentially lose him some voters. This book should sell millions. I’m sure most people will buy it. She should title it, Why My Opinion No Longer Matters?

So Obama hasn’t fired her? What gives? Oh that’s right. Obama is a child WAY out of his depth and he’s also dishonest.
He pledged to fire anyone who behaves like Powers but he didn’t.
He pledged not to run campaign ads in Florida but he did.
This guy is David Axelrod’s lab project and has no core of his own. People who support him are very, very foolish.

Powel jus said what many democrats are thinking and are afraid to say

No, Leche, only Obama supporters would say something like that. Yet, I do hope that all Obama supporters are not like you. I can just imagine if Hillary’s foreign policy expert came out with the gem about Obama. Can you say race card?

Rialb58 Ms Powers said this overseas to a foreign press. If you can sit there and support Ms Powers when you know McCain will be playing these remarks over and over during the general in Ohio more power to you. We’ve already given FL and MI to the republicans. Furthermore there will be no caucuses in the general, now Ohio will be leaning McCain as they will not forget this slight on their intelligence, and McCain is very strong with Latinos in California putting that state into play. Good luck winning.

Ok…this is getting ridiculous. It’s unfortunate that Power’s moment of frankness was pounced on by the media and yes, she should have known better…but come on. Do you think the Clinton campaign has been any kinder? And Power’s slip of the tongue during an exhausting campaign doesn’t speak to her overall competency as a foreign policy advisor; last time I checked Pulitzer Prizes aren’t found in crackerjack boxes. While it’s regrettable that she didn’t zip it for the duration of the interview I can’t help but appreciate the unpolished, unprofessional candor of her remark. But then…I prefer folks who have feet of clay.

how appalling ….. its no wonder that with advisers like her that he going about creating international diplomatic incidents (pakistan, canada) even before he is the nominee…
NO thanks to the ‘hope’ diplomacy we don’t need these retards going around the world representing our country…

Samantha got it right. There is no need for an apology for telling the truth. Fired? Heck no. Promoted.

I was saying the same thing as many here now about Obama 2 MONTHS ago. It became very clear to me right away that the Obama lovers were 20 years old or outright RADICALS.
just like George Mc Govern did in 72. Same thing.
The base of the party (Clinton supporters) will leave and vote for mc Cain, just like they left Mc Govern and voted for Nixon in a huge landslide.

The remarks of Samantha Power quoted above have nothing to do with “research” and therefore nothing to do with Obama’s comment about “research.”

Oh, I see, if Barack Obama is not elected THEIR President of the US, then black voters will stomp their collective feet and stage a “Black Out” , or so they claim. OK, then if Senator Hillary Clinton is not elected President of the US can all WHITES stomp THEIR collective feet and state a “White Out”? That claim by blacks is exactly why we need Hillary in the White House. So much for Barack Obama being a “uniter”. UGG.

Listen to what former senator Bill Bradley had to say on NewsHour:
“I think Barack Obama has a much stronger chance of beating John McCain in the general election. I think Hillary is flawed in many ways, and particularly if you look at her husband’s unwillingness to release the names of the people who contributed to his presidential library.
And the reason that is important — you know, are there favors attached to $500,000 or $1 million contributions? And what do I mean by favors? I mean, pardons that are granted; investigations that are squelched; contracts that are awarded; regulations that are delayed.
These are important questions. The people deserve to know. And we deserve, as Democrats, to know before a nominee is selected, because we don’t want things to explode in a general election against John McCain.”

Fired? Not unless Clinton is fired by the American people for promoting the OTHER PARTY, namely John McCain, over the other Democrat who might win the presidency. That is incredible and unforgivable. Democrat superdelegates are going to leave her in droves over that calculated outrage.
Just out of curiosity I wonder if Clinton thinks Ken Starr is a monster. Someone should ask her that very question. Hillary may not be a b***h, but karma is.

Obama and his team have broken their promise to usher in a new politics of hope. The entire premise of his campaign is that he has a unique capacity to move us beyond the divisiveness that has harmed our nation. With each passing day, he seems less up to the task. He needs to reconnect with his core message again. Step one would be to fire Samantha Power. This is really a new low.

Please note: Senator Obama immediately decried the comments. Samantha Power apologized. I hope Senator Clinton accepts their apologies.
I’m sure we’ve all lost our cool at some point. I’ll mention that Senator Clinton herself, in the last week or so, did just that, with her “Shame on you, Barack” tirade and then the sarcastic “heavens will open, celestial choirs”riff, all on national TV. I can tell you that everyone I talked with felt that warranted an apology; it was very disrespectful of Senator Obama, his supporters, and also of those who felt it mocked religion. Umm–she did not apologize that I’m aware of. I guess with the stress of campaigning, patience can fray.
Which is not to say that it’s okay for Power to call Clinton a monster, but, again, to me the apology sounded sincere.
Furthermore, yesterday Clinton’s communications director, Wolfson, compared Obama to Ken Starr, which is so unwarranted and is beyond the pale.
The Daily News reports: When asked whether she agreed with her spokesman likening Obama to Starr, Clinton replied, “Oh, I’m not going to respond to that.”
Hmmmm…..

What Obama supporters fail to realize, yet Republicans know, is that we HRC supporters are inured to anything negative you might say about her. We have heard it all before, and for years. Yet we still think she is the best choice for this country.
I think what causes you Obama supporters so much angst is that you really know nothing of import about Obama, and are scared to death of what is out there. You will not have to wait long, it will come!
And, by the way, Andrea Mitchell, confirmed again on MSNBC this morning, that Goolsbee was the person that contacted Canadian officials about Nafta, and said the Obama campaign assured her he was “chastised”!

You can see how fanatical Most Obama supporters are, some are actually agreeing with her. It’s ok to call people “monsters” who don’t agree with Obama’s “idea” of change.
He obviously won’t fire her, even though it fits his criteria for that. He’ll talk his way through it somehow, afterall the Canada nafta employee is still with him.
Inexpereinced candidate, hiring inexperienced people, making silly comments and mistakes.

Once Obama is the nominee, I think many Clinton supporters will realize whats at stake. “I will crossover to McCain if Obama is the nominee”, I beg to disagree. I know it hurts, not everyone can get what they want, but I believe once Hillary supporters get over it, they’ll vote Democrat.

I agree with Samantha Power’s comments – before the apology!
She told the truth that many of us are thinking about Hillary. And you just wait until Rush Limbaugh gets started on Hillary if she’s the nominee.

s.b. can i get a link. the story is not credictable with no link. Furthermore, a recent poll show Obama beating McCain by 12%. Clinton would win by 6%. I THINK THE CHOICE HERE IS CLEAN.

The Washington Post contributor seems to forget the decisive factor in the general elections: turnout numbers. Just see what happened in the primaries. NO WAY John McCain will be able to beat Obama, as many Republicans themselves have already acknowledged.
Their ONLY chance would be Hillary Clinton as the nominee, who is disliked vehemently by almost 50% of all Americans. That’s why conservative folks like Limbaugh and Coulter propose to vote for Hillary in the primaries.
Obama MUST be our nominee if we want the Democrats to take over the White House in 2008.

From Joanna Linton,s Comment: ” She(HRC) doesn’t seem to do well with highly educated women, who happen to favor Obama.”
That seems like a perfectly honest and true statement. I assume she doesn,t actually “do well” with anyone that favors Obama!
However, she certainly does very well with highly educated, and quite accomplished, high achieving women like my wife and her large circle of friends and contacts who happen to admire her, and consider her one of their own.

You’re seeing the “Obama administration” in sneak preview here. A bunch of free-lancers set loose on the world stage. Goolsbee, Rice, Power. Totally inept.

I find it ironic that after Obama lost 3/5 (including Texas caucas which he is winning and is predicted to win therefore winning the most delegates in Texas) that rather then Clinton gaining momentum, she’s still below. OBAMA HAS GAINED 9 SUPERDELEGATES SINCE MARCH 4. HE WILL WIN THE CAUCAS AND THEREFORE GAIN MORE DELEGATES.
In conclusion, Obama has a more delegates difference then he had entering march 4

“Dr. Paul”, with all due respect, I am old enough, erudite, and sophisticated enough not to need hope and inspiration from any candidate, male or female.
I do not feel this country needs a “hoper”, I feel we need “doer”.
If I want to be “moved”, I put on some good music and dance. As for inspiration and hope, I get that from GOD each and everyday.

My apology for the double post. Errant fingers!

Vanessa : so you understand now why Obama will lose in November, don’t you? If not, then rethink what Obama has been winning, red states like Alaska, caucus even he certainly lost in primaries, will the general election count in the caucus results? maybe Obama’s supporters can submit a law suit to get them counted. LOL.

Miss Power was very nieve to think
she could denigrate Senator Clinton
to the media over here.
President Clinton, Senator Clinton,
are highly respected this side of the
Athlantic Ocean,Due to the efforts of
President Clinton and John Mitchell the
North of Ireland.has a peace agreement
after 30yrs of terrorism.
In answer to Obama’s question on
Hillary’s foreign policy experience,
she may not have signed any treaties
but she did receive 8yr’s on the job
training which is more than Obama .
Europe for HILLARY AS PRESIDENT.

Head of the Human Rights Center at Harvard and top Obama staffer and she calls Hillary “a monster”. But yet he’ll met with foreign dictators and tyrants upon assuming the presidency! Three major Obama staffers, three major snafus within a week or two — this guy surrounds himself with folks even more inexperienced and naive than himself!

Nothing this woman said about Clinton isn’t true. Ohio was stuffed full of simple-minded voters who were easily fooled by the Clinton Machine. It’s too bad this woman had to backpedal on her comments.

Chris : fooled, not sure which one might be living in a dreaming land thus so easily being fooled — a person who needs to work hard to support his/her family and knows the reality of life, or a college student who partying, drinking, and …

OBAMA is the most divisive. DON’T BE FOOLED. States are complaining about the arrogance of members of CAMP OBAMA. WELL, where do you think they get it? He is the most arrogant person himself.
When is the media going to stop selling or should I say pimping him???

Yes, she should be fired, but Obama does not have the strength of character to do that. He demonstrates a lot of Bush characteristics- sticking with people that are bad news and demonstrating very poor judgment in the people he surrounds himself with – from friends, to pastor, to staff. As president Obama would be required to appoint several people to very key positions affecting millions of people. Obama’s poor judgment of character makes this responsibility of appointments very very worrisome.

“Off the record” was a foolish mistake with media that looks to pounce on the next “gotcha!” moment. What a non-event. Nice diversion from the issues, though. “Monster”…oooooo…not even worth a mention.

Joana Linton: I appreciate your concerns about Hillary. Hillary hasn’t made those concessions that some women keep hoping she will make to meet their expectations of the perfect feminist. That she is tougher that some women like seems to threaten their femininity, i.e. if she is tough and aggressive, she seems to act “like a man”. This assumes that only men can be or should be tough or aggressive and that if a woman is tough and aggressive, they don’t get to be in the “true feminist” club. As a result of this imperfection, these same women, then ironically, choose a “man” rather that her.
We want the same things “what feminism began to fight for 40 years ago—humanizing deeply patriarchal institutions.” Obama was a child then and Hillary a young woman entering the fight for rights. It is sad to me that in this pivotal moment when a strong woman emerges, who stood for these same ideals long before it was popular and who has fought for them long before many took any forward steps and who is a person who truly understands theses issues, is dismissed by other women, because she fails that one last test of perfection, “playing nice” like little girls should.
Do you really believe that these men even begin to understand and that they would in any way admit that the patriarchy exists and that it should be repaired at best and ideally dismantled? John Edward’s unthinking remark about Hillary’s jacket, does he get it, really? Obama’s lack of battle scars on any women’s issues and any real substantive issue, not in simple tests passed by most, but hard long battles that aren’t always won but are realized by many to be but one battle lost in a long protracted war against the evil of misogyny that denies equality for one gender. When I see the misogyny spewed on these boards and hear the hate spewed from “wanna be” news organizations as they assail Hillary attempting to silence her voice and ours, I remain amazed at the women who look for a “more perfect woman”.
I hear that you really believe that Obama and Edwards are the bearer of that perfect or acceptable light for which you are searching. I have to say that no man has ever spoken for me and he will never understand the fight necessary to accomplish what is necessary in this world to end misogyny and bring dignity and equality to all women and thus, all people. The philosophical musings about Hillary’s imperfections will take place at Starbucks and in the feminist thoughtful circles for those who have the time and luxury to shop for a better woman. That woman will apparently be able to take on the issues that men define, in an arena that men define, with the rules defined by men, while exhibiting the perfect feminist methodology. I personally don’t see Obama being that perfect feminist.
My light shines on Hillary. I trust her experience and knowledge to lead the country in the right direction. I and many in the underclass obviously hear her message and it resonates with us. For us, it’s about finally having a true fearless warrior who understands the evil in this patriarchy and whose past battle scars attest to her strength and her tenaciousness which is essential for success in the necessary battles involved in the political arena. And, yes, it’s ok with us if she isn’t perfect and if she is tough as it takes to get the job done.
In my world, all of these characteristics are necessary for the next President of this country. Hillary put it best “It will be a ‘sea change’ if a woman is elected”. A lot us are going to catch that wave.

Obama and his supporters routinely insult people who simply vote for another candidate. They have run the most degrading campaign I have seen in my life.

This doesn’t require any spin as the past has already proven something in Obama’s words!
W.hat O.bama R.eally M.eans is not going to fly anymore!
There is a truth to the meaning of certain words and statements that have held the test of time and this is one of those times something holds true!
Your true being is shown by those whom you surround yourself with!
As Obama’s past record of silencing his opponents to fast track his political career even became evident during this campaign by Obama injecting the most deadly of poison to silence a critic by having Michelle inject the racial issue towards former President Clinton calling Obama out on his “fairy tale” stance of the Iraq war we now have many actions to judge the type of person Obama really is!
Obama talks a good talk, but his delivery upon it has proven to be nothing more than that of a con man!
Fool me once, shame on you-GWB in 2000
Fool me twice, shame on me-GWB in 2004
there is no fool me a third time, because that would mean Obama as the nominee, and that isn’t going to happen!

How can you fire someone who is not on your payroll? She’s a volunteer adviser. Maybe Obama won’t take her advice anymore – at least not her advice on catchy nicknames for opponents.

Samantha Power’s comments are a disgrace!! Her entire “off the record” conversation is unprofessional and extremely inappropriate, particularly since she was talking to a foreign journalist. She should offer her resignation and Obama should accept it.
I live in NJ and PA is nearby, I will make it my goal to go campaign for Hillary in PA as hard as I did in NJ.
The so called “uneducated” people (code word for working class) are the backbone of the Democratic party, not the college students and the upwardly mobile. Power should be advising the Republicans.
Pennsylvania, remember this woman’s words on April 22!!!!!!

To Vanessa:
Think again. I will not “cross over” to vote for Senator Obama. I am a registered independent voter; and I will vote for McCain before I vote for Barack. Barac is a nice guy, but too inexperienced, AND, I really, truly do not like the character of his supporters in general, as well as his “key advisors”, such as the “senior foreign policy advisor” indentified in this article. No Madeline Albright is she. She sounds more like a petulant child. How insultint! I cannot believe she would make the stupid comment she made about Senator Clinton, and to an overseas publication no less. Obviously the author of the piece was not impressed by his subject.

Vanessa….I agree with you…I am a 54 year old man…an Independent and former Edwards supporter….Hillary has driven me to support Obama because of her cold, calculating, purely political approach to this campaign and her arrogance. If she is nominated she will drive me to support McCain as well..

dee..If Hillary is so let popular in then she should run for president of Ireland. She is not popular here other than core Democrats. She will not win over moderate Republicans or Independents like myself, particurly in the South or Midwest. John McCain will. As much as I dread another Republican in office I would view it as the lesser of the two evils.

I think that the manner in which Hillary has conducted herself has been wildly inconsistent, and patently NOT her own woman, being maneuvered in a million different directions by schizophrenic campaign strategists. What has been revealed in recent weeks has been a petulant child – and to have back-to-back petulant children for president is a disastrous choice for the country.
Kudos to Senator Obama who is still doing his best to introduce civil discourse into American politics. As for Ms. Powers, I think it’s perfectly possible to respect someone’s past record and yet call them on current behavior.

In response to an earlier comment-
Foreign policy IS a “Grown-up” issue. Yes, let’s hope that Obama’s foreign policy advisor does grow-up.

hey russell, you might as well say hello to President McCain for that matter because after bill’s arab connections come to light, and the news reporters finally report truthful on the NAFTA/hillarygate issue, and oh yeah, Peter Paul….can’t forget about him, right?!
So you hillary sheeple keep dreaming. Y’all should have known better to stand behind another clinton, knowing full well that karl rove is standing out in the hallway
lololololol

John, please go vote for John McCain, ad yourself to all the others who voted for Obama in primary’s and have since jumped ship to the Republicans!
The candidate of change is proven to be the swindler of words, from stating no lobbyist money taken in, well directly anyhow, it is all bundled for him Chicago style!
The candidate of change who has eliminated prior opponents by dirty Chicago political tactics!
The candidate of change who sends out negative flyers continually that have been proven false and when a truthful flyer appears on him, he crys foul!
The candidate of change who won’t release who contributed to his bundled money!
The candidate of change who has won only 2 Primarys because he cannot stack and use strong arm tactics when people can vote, but controls the caucus’s by intimidation!
The candidate of change who takes on Chairs of commitees to pad his resume, yet doesn’t hold a single meeting proves he is a W.O.R.M.
W.hat O.bama R.eally M.eans
empty chair + empty suit + empty words = Obama

Great speech AmazonTraveler!! I agree 100%

She can’t win. But she can ensure that Obama is so bloodied, to use Rush Limbaugh’s description of the Clinton strategy, that Obama is damaged goods come the fall. After all, if Hillary can’t get the nomination, then nobody should.

Clear Choice….from your post I cannot tell if you are a Hillary supporter seriously stating that you don’t care about Independent voters or you are a McCain supporter who would welcome me. Based on your Obama rant I suspect you support Hillary. Let me just say that Clinton will not win the election without attracting moderate Republicans and Independents like myself in Southern and Midwestern states. Take a look at the red/blue state maps of the last two elections and that is exactly how it will play out in the next election if Hillary is nominated.

Well, well, well, looky what we have here: politics as usual?! Say one thing, do another. Lead by example? You are only as good as your advisors. Ever hear of “top down” management? Obviously the Obama team is talking out of both sides of their mouths and if we listen closely, the deafening sound of hypocrisy is obvious. Transparent government? Only what I want you to see. Give me a break! Obama you have some explaining to do on a number of issues, not the least of which is why you can’t control your own staff. The “we have run out of time”, or “I was busy” or “that was a boneheaded move” doesn’t cut it! Not with the press and not with the American people. If you are going to run for President on the platform of “change you can believe in” or “new politics”, then you’d better do it. Actions do speak louder than words.
Go Hillary! A proven, tested, vetted leader ready to go to work for us on day one!

Disclosure: I am a Hillary supporter. I also find Obama interesting, but not ready for prime time. I like what’s going on in our Party right now. People are starting to think critically about the candidates. Until Ohio, (not counting NY), the Democratic rank and file weren’t showing up in enough numbers to offset the newbies: made up mostly of young people, most likely college students (where Obama has built enormously on what Dean and MoveOn started 4 years ago), and independents. The rank and file, mostly hard working folks with families, and a lot of young women who don’t have the baggage “feminism” seems to evoke in so many,have been outnumbered in the primaries, mostly in cauceses. The suffrage movement was a civil rights movement,giving women the right to vote, to have a voice, and the feminism that evolved from the 1960′s, just as my generation of young women went off into the world of college, jobs, activism, marriage,children, careers, was continulally advocated just by virtue of the choices we were making: the right of women to have equal opportunity in education and equal pay for equal work. Obama documents his journey in his books and his story is also compelling and his purposeful life is to be commended. Let’s just all pay attention and participate, and let the contest proceed. We need to get back the White House; over the next few months, we will see our 2 contenders continue to battle it out, and millions of more votes will be cast in States that have not spoken yet. I may be convinced, but I’m not the voter in Mississipi or the voter in Forida or Michigan, either. If Obama is smart, he’ll stop trying to wring superdelegate votes and whining about delegate counts, and enter the arena. He can wash his hands afterwards, which the last few weeks have shown he is perfectly capable of. Politics is a rough game, so is the presidency.

John I am a Democrat, and I certainly do not hold to the belief or threats made by supposed Independants who are:
Non-commital to anything!
Use threat tactics to move their agenda along!
Disguise themselves as such an run back to the Republican Party anyhow come election time!
I also do not care if the candidate is white, black, red, green or yellow, what I care about is what the candidates say, their records of achieving what they say and their performances which provides their experience to hold a certain office!
This being the office of the President, there is no way on earth I would support someone who:
claims to attract Independants and Republicans when his record on elections shows otherwise!
claims to be a uniter, yet he did nothing his first 6 yrs as a State Senator and only did things or had his name added to Bills for appearance sake his final year before going after a US Senate seat!
claims to be one thing, yet his actions prove he is not!
claims to be transparent, yet has to have teeth pulled before providing more! Even Alexrod stated they will decide in time if they will release more documents on the Rezko and the house dealings, that transparency!
Stump speeches followed by inaction on a persons part simply says words are empty!
Clinton never stumped on transparency, Obama did, yet he hides and throws accusations towards his opponents as to his values on the stump, sorry don’t fly in do as I say and not as I do!
There is no way I will join the movement like that when as every cult in history has proven that the Cult leader is no messiah, only a self serving profiteer!

Power spoke the truth, and more power to her for saying it. Maybe she shouldn’t had called her a monster but HRC is indeed ruthless and willing to do anything to win the nomination. Any discreet person can see that.
Posted by: Rialb58
Rialb58, you saying that isn’t so about Obama? Injecting the race card in the campaign, the deadliest of political sins in America via his wife towards Bill Clinton telling the truth on Obama’s Iraq war stances (plural, not that one speech, but all actions since)and his campaign by the leaked memo on how to turn Hillary’s MLK statement into a racial remark just before SC?
Those grounds alone show just how low Obama will go, from stacking caucus’s and using strong arm techniques in them to lossing every major state where the people vote as they should!
Sorry, I listen to what candidates say and Obama clearly stated in 2004 that he has no EXPERIENCE what so ever to run for President and he has since proven he hasn’t! My how a persons own words come to haunt them huh!

Oh it is a well manipulated and orchestrated ploy by the Obama campaign. She is going to be forced to resign just to prove the point that Obama doesn’t tolerate negative campaigning. It’s all too familiar but I am sure it will get all the attention it deserves, more publicity for Obama’s camp.

Oh…Please I confuse now…
The slogan has gone : Hope and Change.
Should I take my vote back?
I told you so…

I read these comments and wonder who in the world the Obama supporters are trying to “win over” with their childish tirades. Certainly not any HRC supporters (about 13 million so far). I have stated before that we have heard such rants for years and still think she is the best choice.
Possibly, the rants are merely to appease their own frustration over the fact that their candidate has ceased “to progress” and now is regressing. Don’t give up the hope! Hope and about 5 dollars will buy you a gallon of milk.

I don’t know if this is worse than Obama calling both the Clintons liars. He also refers to Hillary as divisive and had certainly suggested that they are both crooks and cannot be trusted.
Hillary runs an ad on a general question on who would the American people rather answer a phone call at the white house at 3:00 a.m. in the morning in time of crisis, and they cry foul, even though, Obama camp plagiarized the same ad content and actually mention Hillary’s name in his ad about the same subject in rebuttal.
The more the media (NBC, MSNBC, Newsweek, CNN, FOX, & NPR) beat up on Hillary, the more we love her. The media will not succeed telling us who to vote for in this election.

Well what would Othello do? Not trust his wife? Hum does that transfer gender to campaign fodder? I haven’t been watching the deification of Obama as after a few speeches in Iowa of puffery rhetoric and Oprah’s tent revival complete with coloquial renditions I spared myself the political opera. What would suit the Republicans more than the Dems running a candidate with scant experience against Mc Cain? How Rovian to split the ticket and bring out the misogynist vote. Will the American public be fooled again? Holy Moly more twists and turns than a three penny opera. Go Hillary, my god let’s get something done! Political posturing with hearts and flowers is great for the movies but in reality experience counts wake up and vote for Hillary Clinton.
