Clinton Chief Strategist Pushed Out

And it won’t make a bit of difference. This is just a smoke screen to have the press focus on this, instead of questionable tax records that were released on Friday. Smart move but it won’t make a bit of difference. People have been waiting for those records forever, and some fat *** pig stepping aside won’t make them focus on him instead of questionable business dealings and practices.

The tax records are a NO ISSUE. They gave an enormous amount to charity compared to OBAMA who gave less of a percentage than my grandmom living on social security except for last year where he wanted “to look good.”
HILLARY 2008. NO OBAMA

Does she still have to pay him the 2.5 million she owes him? You can’t tell me that the campaign didn’t know he was working for the Columbian government on the trade deal. They knew.

Campaigns have their ups and downs. This is not an implosion. The media could find very little wrong with the Clintons’ tax records and they gave them years and years. The Clintons gave $10 million dollars to charity. Why isn’t that publicized?

The real question that needs to be asked is weather or not Clinton opposed the trade deal Before or After her run for the white house.

I highly doubt this was news to Hillary. Everything is business with her, she stands for nothing.

Is this karl rove’s fault?

To some of you, it wouldn’t matter if she was caught molesting children, you would support her anyway. Talk about blind faith.

Before you gush all over the Clintons for their donations to CHARITY (?) take a closer look! More than haLf of the donation is to their own organization. They are such hypocrites.

The Clinton’s did give 10 million to charity. Most of it to……. the Clinton Foundation of which only half has been used. The other half just sits there waiting for their charity Needs. These people are a joke. Love that they released then at 4pm on Friday no less. They aren’t afraid of anything and if this were so crystal clean why did it take months to get the data. Oh yeah thats right it was in a file drawer somewhere and they couldn’t find them. They are too much! Can’t wait to see them fade into the sunset forever!! Loving it!

Will somebody find out the organizations who paid Clinton so much money and their connection to Dubai? How can you have a potential President beholden to Dubai, which advocates the destruction of Israel?

$10 million to charity?
How nice of them to donate most of it to their OWN charity.
Wouldn’t it be great if we all had our own foundation that we could just ‘donate to’?
Water is rushing into the Clinton campaign and it will capsize in just a few weeks.

Here is why the charity is not publicized: The Clintons paid $33.8 million in federal taxes and claimed deductions for $10.2 million in charitable contributions. The contributions went to a family foundation run by the Clintons that has given away only about half of the money they put into it, and most of that was last year, after Mrs. Clinton declared her candidacy.

Mark Penn needs to be GONE PERIOD. It looks like he will STILL be part of the Hillary campaign but will have another “title”.
He NEEDS to go.

Too little to late. The damage has been done.

The so called “Charity” they gave 95% of their money to was the “Clinton Foundation”. Moving the cash from the right pocket to the left pocket is a tax dodge, not charity.

For someone who was leading in all polls just a year ago, the inevitable candidate and her campaign sure have imploded. Penn was a mess, and sleazy. That Mrs. Clinton chose him to run her campaign is another example of her terrible judgment.

Your Conscience-Happy day. Jumping ship? Texas said no Obama. Ohio said no Obama. RI said no Obama. Wonder what PA will say next? Looks like BO peaked too soon. Pass the deodorant BO is finished.

Penn is just an employee. He is just in charge of the the overall strategy of HRC’s campaign. He gets paid millions for his work. Just because he is quitting/getting fired in the home stretch of a campaign doesn’t mean anything. Employees come and go.
No problemo.

This guy should have left a long time ago. As “chief strategist,” he drove Hillary’s campaign into the ditch with one miscalculation after another. I’m an Obama supporter, but I harbor no illusions that the mismanagement of HRC’s campaign has not contributed to Obama’s success. I only hope it’s too late for the survivors to get the HRC bus out of the ditch!

The $10 million the Clintons’ donated to charity was mostly to “Clinton Fondations.” So they gave themselves $10 million and called in charity.

Wait till the Rezko story implodes on Obama by late May. Maybe someone else will be leaving his camp. Anyone want to guess?

The reason that I like Senator Obama is because he chosen not to participate in dirty politics. If this was him linked a working lobbyist for the Columbian Goverment the HILLARY CAMPAIGN WILL TRY TO DESTROY HIM.

The penn-ultimate step; now it is time for Hillary to go, too.

Hey BRIAN, do you mean Sandy Burglar ? I think she might need to keep him around in case she needs something stolen from the Archives.

Hillary threw Mark under the bus

Did you know that Michele Obama over a 7 year period at her job with the hospital she works for, would make more money than Hillary did for U.S. Senator? Do you not think if Obama becomes president he would not eventually become more wealthy than he is now? The Clinton’s have disclosed personal records for 30 years. Don’t you think they know people are watching.

Uh, the only charity the Clinton’s gave to was The Clinton Foundation…of which Bill and Hillary get a healthy “management fee.” Come on, people, there is never a raw moment of goodness from these people. When will you learn?

She has nothing under control, our Hillary.
She wouldn’t even be able to be the manager of a local supermarket. I
Her campaign is, by any standard, a complete failure.
She’s a parody of a presidential candidate.

All their 2006 charitable donations went to their own foundation, how self-serving.
I want to know what political favors get doled out to the Chinese, Dubai investors and god knows who else in exchange for donating to the Clinton presidential library. Don’t forget it’s how they sold off pardons to Mark Rich.

lauren-How many times did Obama throw his own grandmother under the bus? Answer: Twice.

Another rat scrams from the sinking scum-bucket’s ship… this is too much fun!!!!!

I think that Mrs. Clinton has only one major problem.That she is a female and I don’t think we should hold that against her. If she can do the job lets get her in

Your Conscience – News Alert – OBAMA WON THE MOST DELEGATES IN TEXAS. Exactly. The Obama supporters overthrew the will of the people. Good point.

Dogsoldier: Old news. Move along. You want us to start talking about the missing White House furniture again?

You can’t make this stuff up.
This HAS to be the WORST campaign ever!
This is the stuff of “Commander and Chief?” She can’t run a campaign in the primary… and some think she will be stronger in the General election?
She is a JOKE. A total JOKE.

well i guess i was wrong .
Penn will continue to provide polling information to the campaign, but will no longer serve as the chief strategist. Instead, Geoff Garin and Howard Wolfson will head up the message for the campaign.
she didnt throw him under the buse she just had him switch seats.

hillary should just step down as well, do us all a huge favor, and go AWAY!!!

The problem is not Penn. The problem is the candidate

Good God you people are nuts! You have no Idea what you are talking about. The tax records are on line The reports made to the IRS are on line. They gave the Money to the Clinton Family Foundation. Not to the Clinton Foundation. Not to the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation. Or the 100 or so other foundations with Clinton in the name.
Get your facts straight.
Obama08

Dale,
I agree. This morning on the Chris Matthews show panelist member Gloria Boucer of CNN said, ‘the difference between this years election match-up as apposed to past elections, is that for the time the election will have two genuine nice guys; Obama and McCain.’ She’s right.

It’s simply mindboggling that ANYONE could actually support this evil woman.
What a fraud. Wake up,folks!

Good-bye and Good-luck Hillary
Go Habs!!

Twenty,
I did nt fall for that book bag thrown against the wall performance either. Somebody has to go back in the archives and see what comments and speeches Hill made regarding Dr. King’s assasination. DId she show as much emotion then? And if not, why not? Did she mention throwing her book bag across her dorm room in utter desolation? I don’t recall her saying that before. Surely in her 8 years as first lady, she must’ve made some comment about it or her 8 years as first lady of Arkansas. Now, for the 40th anniversary of a sad occasion, she gets all worked up? If it is so sad in 2008 it must have been more sad and more fresh in 1998.

Yeah, Sen. Obama claims he is running some noble campaign.. then bashes John McCain saying he wants to stay in Iraq 100 years, when he obviously didn’t say that.
But, to his defense, maybe he didn’t hear it… just like he didn’t hear his pastor screaming racial nonsense from the pulpit for 20 years.
The Republicans and moderates are going to clobber him in November. Gotta love it when Democrats SHOULD in theory have a cakewalk to the White House and screw it up. lol

She didn’t become outraged until the unions basically started threatening her. As a union, why would you continue to support someone who acted that way anyway.
I still don’t understand who is supporting the Clintons after everything we’ve seen this primary season.

The Clinton campaign continues their downward spiral. The end is near.

Has anyone noticed that in the last several months the Clinton and Obama campaigns have been tossing people aside because they either broke the law, broke the rules, or opened their mouths to say ridiculous things?
Has anyone noticed this but me? If they can’t handle their campaign staff, how in God’s good name will they be “ready on day 1″ to be President, or to deal with issues of life and death and war?
Vote Democrat this year, and you get inexperienced loudmouths with a propensity to say anything to get elected. It is as simple as that.

Uncanny coincidence.
One of the upcoming make-or-break states she seeks to win during the primaries’ delegate chase is … Penn.
(and, in only a couple weeks)
Her choice of campaign stategist, the mouthy Mr. Penn, explodes as she is heading into the final 2 weeks of that Penn primary effort. Her popularity has been declining in that fine state, according to most polls taken weekly over the last 2 months…. down to a single-digit lead, getting closer and closer to statistically insignificant.
Wow… now folks may not want to be associated with her who’s campaign sullies with the duplicity of a strategy chief of the same name as their fair state…
Right-wing conspiracy if you ask me. Surely Karl Rove is behind this.
Poetic justice, coincidence, or whatever… it is so uncanny.
Mr. Penn exposed as two-faced until confronted and hopelessly exposed for what he is;
Mrs. C exposed for at best having no discernment as to duplicity of her highest advisors; and
The State of Penn having to make a decision about her in the circumstances.
So amazing. So telling

Just imagine what a total madhouse and nightmare Hillary’s would have become when she had been able to drag it all the way into the General Election… Now THAT would have been the end of the DNC as the better alternative to the GOP.
Thank God this lousy soap opera won’t last much longer. This campaign is done.

OK time for HRC to follow ‘ol Mark Penn. This whole crew is a disaster. Don’t go away mad Hillbillery, just take your disgusting daughter and husband and go away. Let us have at Hussein O bomber and destroy any notion of him getting a night to sleep in the White House.

We all know the Clintons are trailer trash who will do or say anything for power and glory; her campaign shows she would mismanage the Presidency as Bill mismanged his private life.

Too bad for Hillary I will still vote for her.
Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing!!! Trust me he heard a lot in that 20 years from that racist rev. at least his wife is “finally” glad to be an american.

No worry Ozzy, Obama wasn’t going to get the ignorant xenophobic block anyway.

Most of the Clinton’s donations were to the Clinton Foundation. 90% or so.

1) The unions said regarding clintoon that “serious questions about the veracity of your claims of what you would do should you become president” were raised. Are they kidding? Where have they been?
2) Yes, the clintoons gave 10% to charity. The only problem with their “giving” is they gave it all to their own foundation which funneled it right to the clintoon library/playground.
They are both beneath despicable

You know russel, how many Roman Catholics continued to go to their church after it wss discovered that the hierarchy there covered up for numerous and repeated child abuse crimes? DOn’t tell me about REv. Wright’s awful behavior. What about the numerous preachers who say that hurricanes come and destroy lives and homes because God is angry. They still go to those churches and smile and nod when they hear those ridiculous distortions. That kind of logic is more obscene than what I have heard Rev. Wright say. How come is it that none of us make a stand the way we demand Obama should have done? How many dollars do gullible ordinary faithful funnel into the crooked ministries all over this nation while they run off in caddy’s and lincolns, having affairs,hiring gay prostitutes and the like. Oh no, their congregations forgive the Rev. Swaggerts of the world at the first tear. We are all guilty of hypocrisy so enough already of the Rev. Wright diatribe.

Why you OBAMA supporters not asking OBAMA to reject his pastor and church?
Are you people also followers of Black Liberation Theology?
Hillary did the correct. She atleast fired someone who went against her position. Thank you Hillary
Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.
To me this sounds like teachings of Osama

I laugh at all you Obama boneheads, she released her taxes and shut you, Burton, Axelrod and Hussein up. Now let’s see if all the unions shut up, now that Penn is gone. This is the smartest move that she has done in a log time, she didn’t say I’m not going to disavow you like Obama said to his pal Wright, she said you’re gone. I will wait this week to see the general shut Bumble Bee up. The ironic part is that most of you dumb heads made money when Bill Clinton was President and now moan and groan that his wife maydo the same thing. I have been a Democrat all my life, but I’m voting for McCain the plagerist wins the nomination.

Book Bag? I’m as old as Hillary and we didn’t have bookbags back then. We strapped our books together. Bookbags are a more recent mode of school gear. Still lying. I LOL’d at her at the ceremony.
Obama 08

Penn is only the tip of the iceberg. Wolfson, Ickes and Lanny need to go too! Then to really clean house, they need get rid of Bill and Hillary!

This is the kind of stuff that makes all Americans sick. Folk’s, if Penn had chilled and Clinton got into office, guess what? We would have a free trade agreement with Columbia. That ‘s why the Columbians fired the consultant firm once the jig was up. They knew that Pen could no longer help them covertly.
Do you think it might be more then just a little coincidental that the Columbians had Hillary’s number one strategist as a consultant (maybe that’s why she won’t quit…too much money to make for her cronies)?
Penn knew he had influence and could get the job done for the Columbians if or when the Clinton’s got into office. Oh yes, she will deny knowledge of Pen’s actions and even fire him,. The problem is that the last two lies she’s been caught in over the past week makes it hard if not impossible for me to believe her.
Once again we have a politician claiming to be against something and a staff member is out setting the table for everyone to make a lot of money.
Why would I want her in the White House? The scandals and lies are mounting and she’s not even the nominee.

Stepped down yet still going to advise? I hope those Unions KNOW they have been handed a pacifier LOL
Clinton strikes again and this reeks of more of their stink…like the meaning of the word “is”.

raf says the media found very little wrong with the Clinton’s tax records. What is a little missing $18-MILLION between friends?
Hilary’s campaign comtinues to crumble as lies and deception continue to bubble up. This, the hospital lie and the Bosnia lies and…

When Hillary met Sir Edmund Hillary…..
My parents named me after you 7 years before you became a household name.
And I went to a mountain top too when I met with MLK in 1962.
It’s congenital…she can’t tell the truth because she is a sociopath!!
—————————————
And you think Obama tells teh truth?
Shall we discuss Obama’s stories about him being a professor; my parents met at Selma who cares it was four years after his birth; I didn’t know green meant yes red meant no when it came to voting buttons; I won’t be running for President in 2008, I promise my constituents I will serve out my whole six year term; no, let’s talk about the Kennedy’s supposedly flying his father over here; no there is a better one, Rezko, he gave me only thousands, I didn’t know him well, I did know him well, he gave me a hundred thousand, no what a bonehead thing, he gave me a few hundred thousand, but I didn’t know he bought the strip of land next to my house that I got $300k less than the asking price at the height of the seller market and closed on it the same day as me, that same piece of land I bought 10 feet of; wait even better, I did hear, I didn’t hear, it did matter it didn’t matter, he was retiring, I put him on my camping in a leadership position despite commenting on his comments one year before, Rev, Wright. There is more, I can go on. Who is the sociopath? I doubt you even know what a sociopath is LOL

Twenty2twenty; when I saw her “reading” her “rememberances”, I knew it was a load! I believe a rememberance is defined as being an occasion that touched you to your core being, so for her to have to READ hers was a joke. I guess she thought that performance was worthy of an Academy Award, but even Paris Hilton could have done a better job and Paris is a rotten actor. I also suspect that the last line of HRCs note that she read said, “Try to squeese out a tear if at all possible”. OMG, all anyone could do was barf – it was a total crock!!!

It seems that Obama does not want his girls to be punished by having childern! I wonder what his mother would think about that?

There’s NOTHING wrong with the Clintons’ tax records.
ONLY 18 million dollars unaccounted for.

These are telltale signs of a campaign about to fold. Thank God!

Obama will never be an option for us …
Our conscience points us to MCCAIN if Hillary is not the nominee ..
The Democrats deserve to lose the White House is they put up Obama as their nominee …

Mark says, “They gave an enormous amount to charity…” Yeah, THEIR OWN charity.

The end is near for Hillary and her campaign.

they can’t run a campaing.
they can’t run a political party.
they certainly won’t know how to run a country…

Gee, it seems that Hillary’s “Woman of the People” image is taking a big hit this weekend. How sad, she seemed to sincere.
ROFL

the clintons 10 mill wen to thier own charity theykept the money themselves and took the tax write off

Hey Dog Dude. Don’t you realize that it is a problem for your campaign (McSame) that the only thing you got is the same old stuff no matter what happens? Most people who support you can’t read that much anyway. Stick to the sound bites Dog Dude.

the clintons 10 mill went to thier own charity they kept the money themselves and took the tax write off go obama or mccain

Mark Penn was the “hired help”. When they don’t perform as requested, you get to terminate their employment. That’s what Clinton did.
When someone helps you buy a house you can’t afford, you owe them favors. Just what are those favors Senator Obama?

Attention all Americans who believe in a fair race: Obama’s Illinois strategy is being used again here in the Dem race … in Illinois, he got a team of lawyers together who poured through the paperwork of the opposing candidates and found technical errors in their filing papers which Obama then used to succeed in having them disqualified from the race … so Obama ran unopposed. Sound familiar???
This is a matter of public record as reported by numerous “news” outlets, including the Chicago Tribune, who has endorsed Obama.
Here again, Obama is trying to drive out the competition so that he can run unopposed. It isn’t hard to see why the media is helping him: all that campaign money he’s raising … where does it go? For media ads and coverage … he’s a cash cow for the media.
Now Obama is trying the same dirty tricks and tactics to try to secure an unopposed run as the Dem nominee. We, the people, need to stop him. No matter how you feel about the candidates, the process of electing our next Dem nominee needs to be democratic and open … not a one-way, unopposed ticket for the media’s cash cow.

Funny how the Hillary supporters make posts completely unrelated to the topic of the article. Desperation times in Clintonia. I sense the end is near.

Kerry..if you can honestly live with yourself voting for McCain and risking the lives of your fellow citizens go right ahead. It’s just very sad to hear from people with this attitude.

I’ve read the article about Hillary Clinton’s campaign and relationship with strategist, Mark Penn. I’ve also read many of the public’s comments about the above. Its a shame that many in politics and the media are mean-spirited. Just a shame . . .

Danielle – Check out the $22,500 Obama gave to Reverend Wright. You get the bigotry and racism you pay for these days.

The Clinton machine if finished now. Hillary needs to quit so McCain can start whipping up on Mr Smooth Talk.
Hillary also finished first in earmarks
oink oink
McCain had no earmarks.

more of the aricle clinton foundation
The $31.3 million donation, which was previously undisclosed, came from the Radcliffe Foundation run by Frank Giustra, a Canadian who has made millions financing mining deals around the world. Mr. Giustra has become a member of Mr. Clinton’s inner circle, joining him on global trips and lending him the use of his private MD-87 jet.
For weeks, Clinton Foundation officials had suggested that the $31.3 million contribution listed on its tax return did not come from a single donor. They then said it came from a single source, but declined to identify it. Wednesday afternoon, a representative of Mr. Giustra contacted The Times and acknowledged the Radcliffe contribution.

EXCELLENT decision, Hillary!
NEVER change a winning team!

She cannot run a campaign but she wants to run USA?

America is not for sale.
American cannot compete with Colombia.
NAFTA and China Trade deals have proven that fact.
The Clintons have made a lot of money doing business with foreign countries and business persons.
It’s like they set themselves up to make a lot of money while they were still in the White House.
Ask yourselves why is Bill Clinton being paid millions of dollars for giving speeches overseas?
What could a person say that is worth millions of dollars?
Are people buying favors?
We must ask ourselves one simple question.
Can we trust the Clintons?
I am an Obama supporter but I am prepared to vote for McCain.
How say you?

I’ve never been much of a politcal guy. But this is the most facinating game I’ve ever seen. It’s like watching the Superbowl every day for over a year. Hillary fumbles every time she touches the ball. Obama can’t score inside the red zone. Just field goals. And McCain keeps picking up first downs because of the other teams foolish penalties. Still I love the unsportsmanlike conduct from the Clinton camp.

James – Hey, princess, $40 million dollars couldn’t even buy that republican garbage. But $22,500 buys you all the racists and bigots fit for an Obama supporter.

I guess the Unions should have backed Barack Obama .
Wonder how long will it be before they jump ship?

None of this matters at this point. It’s McCain’s race to lose at this point. Smart money says McCain by 8 points over Obama in November….

Good move, Hillary. I was hoping for this immediate, decisive action from you on Penn, and we got it. Thanks. You will make a great POTUS 2008!
Hillary ’08

Katmido, I applaude you for all you have said here – you and I think alike and you need to be commended for your contributions here today! Thanks so much!

The smartest woman in the world has had to fire her campaign manager,and now her campaign strategist.
I believe the nation is about to fire her.

The Clintons are finished. Bill will look down to the floor soon and start biting his lower lip and shake his head
so sad (not)

With Condi Rice now running as vice president to John Maccain, she will steal the women’s vote from Hillary and the Black vote from Obama. Game over dems, but they are so busy fighting, they might not notice for a few days.

Film MD
No way she did not know . There are very few credits that i will ever give this woman
1 She is highly intellegent. She knows the law like the back of her hand
2 well i was wrong with usung the word credits it should have said credit.

BKMC: When will you ever if it’s Obama it’s GODDAMN AMERICA! Get with the program man, I thought you guys were intellectual liberal elites!

RAF – The Clintons gave (over) $10 million dollars to charity the William J. Clinton Foundation.
There you go, glad to help.

When is Hillary Clinton going to step down?

too bad so sad

why keep bringing up obama this is about the clintona mia steps

and…….. Clinton still owes him 2.5 million, gives charity money to the Clinton Foundation ? repeats phony story of uninsured pregnant woman for weeks, still can’t control her husbands mouth…….. yes this campaign has gone on too long

Jackt51
Thanks for that

Mark Penn needed to go a long time ago. They were loyal to him, and he violated that loyalty, and now he’s gone. And for those of you still trying to make something out of the tax returns, the Clinton Family Foundation is the administrative arm of their charities that coordinates the gifts. They didn’t create a non profit just to give themselves money. You people are probably the same conspiracy theorists that think we attacked ourselves on September 11. Get real.

All good CEO’s make changes in management when the situation warrants it. Good ones have those “sharp elbows” – that some on this board think is arrogance or entitlement. Clinton has shown that she’s not afraid to make a move when the situation requires it – like all effective CEO’s. What about Obama? He can’t fire his manager – Axelrod – that’s the guy who created Obama. Then we’d truly have the Wizard of Oz – unmasked.
Another point about effective CEO’s – they don’t take a pass and vote “present” on tough issues. They lead – they don’t stick a finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing – like Obama has done. We just don’t have enough information about this guy to entrust the presidency to him.

Good for Hillary. When someone is wrong she gets rid of them. Not like some people we know.

Bye-Bye Hillary. Penn was perhaps the most incompetent person at such a high level of a major political campaign ever. I for one remain completely shocked at how poorly managed this Clinton campaign has been. Hillary has sacrificed her campaign for the White House for the loyalty of a bunch of old “friends” and loyal political hacks. (Penn, Grunwald, Carville, Lanny Davis, Ann Lewis, Begala – even that miserable Wolfson) Had she hired skilled pros who know the lay of the land in 2008 – not 1998 – she would have smothered Obama months ago. Obama, for all his faults and far-left political leanings, has run a masterpiece of a campaign to this point. Bye-Bye Mrs. Clinton. Harry Reid will welcome you back to the Senate with open arms.

What I don’t understand is why they’re still keeping his firm on board. They should’ve cut ties completely. Otherwies it makes this whole thing look like smoke and mirrors.

“I almost jumped up and started to clap when she said she threw her bag against the wall and felt that her whole life had been drained from her body.”
Read “Primary Colors”. She has a habit of throwing things around when she gets p’d off. Usually bunches of keys, at Bill’s head.

Come on guys, give Penn a break. At least he didn’t claim to have come under sniper fire. Now THAT would really be a reason to step down.

sorry clintons, but if the colombian government didn’t know who Penn was representing, it says a lot more about you then you realize. Don’t think you’re gonna pull the wool over anybody’s eyes this the 2nd time around – nafta 1st now this.
Wake up – Clintons appear they may be making backroom deals again.
Poor Hill, had to force Penn out cause she doesn’t want to look bad again – sympathy card again hey Hill.
We are so much smarter than you think. You keep surrounding yourself with the shadiest people america has ever seen. I’m sure you’re upset about this, you got cAught once again. You can’t even manager your people or your finances or your campaign. Don’t blame anybody but yourself.
YOU HAVE POOR JUDGEMENT.

Mark Penn works for Hillary Clinton. Don’t insult our intelligence. Mark Penn was working for Hillary when he talked to the Canadians. This is why he still working with Hillary as an advisor.

“Penn’s firm — Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates, Inc. — will remain on board providing polling and advice to the campaign, though he will no longer serve as the chief strategist, Williams said.”
Interesting… That means – Mark Penn is not fired. His role has just been changed from Chief strategist, to campaign adviser.
Too bad… The “Change to win” guys will know she is trying to fool them…

It’s over.

I can’t believe anyone would vote for someone who has run the worst campaign in American history. This woman is a total incompetent. The lies, missteps, misspeaks, mishears have reach a laughable stage that quite frankly is not funny anymore. If this is the way the Democrats are going to run the country it is truly frightening.

What is wrong with the Clinton Foundation? It is doing a lot of good work from everything I have read and seen. The Obama’s charity was mostly to their church, which from what I can see I would not want to belong to and donate to a church so full of hate for America and other races.

OPERATION CHAOS!!

DEMS being DEMS
Practicing race and gender politics with a bit of executice incompetence thrown in.

Believe or not Martin Luther King Jr. himself was a preacher of Black Liberation Theology. The Catholic Church Teaches in schools, and has it’s root in the 1960s. (Sound familiar). It is as much apart of America as is the black community. So when a person bashes Black Liberation Theology, their bashing Luther King, the Catholic Church, are Anti-American, Racist, and hey for the fun of it classist, because I know poor white people get along just fine with black people.

Great so she will have someone else to blame her failures on. I think she might have something serious wrong with her mental state. The closer the realty of her not becoming the first woman president is, the more she flails about. Her attempt to push the negative spotlight on those around her and not accept the blame is an even greater reason not to vote for her. We have someone like that now in the white house, do really want to have another?

Obama supporters can just keep beating Hillary. If Hillary is not the nominee, a good percentage of us will be voting for McCain. He atleast is a true american. First choice Hillary, Second choice McCain with a good VP, Third choice sit out.
I vote for the person and not party.
Hillary 08

THE MORE ABC,MSNBC,&CNN BASH CLINTON THE MORE I WANT TO VOTE FOR HER.HILLIARY IS RUNNING AGAINST A BIAS MEDIA AND OBAMA AND NEITHER HAVE ENOUGH PUNCH TO KNOCK HER OUT. GO HILLARY

Oh when, oh when will we ever see a negative headline/story about Obama? Did you say NEVER? Dear ABC, CNN, MSNBC hell hath no fury like millions of democratic women scorned…pay attention advertisers, you are wasting your money if you are trying to attract female consumers…we are not watching the OBAMALOVEFEST anymore…we are tired of the SEXIST MEDIA…ooh, wait, there’s a story coming on about a call girl, gotta go..

Major beatdown: I take it you were one of those fat cats who had to pay a little more in taxes in the 90′s! Or are you one of those who got their projects cut off when Clinton reformed Welfare, sound like the latter and you are still mad! Thats ok maybe Obama will start handing out candy and you can get some!

And regarding Rev. Wright, since when is it a crime to say you hate america? what is everyone so scared of? so what if he hates america? the greatest thing about america is that he can say that and not fear governmental retribution. why is everyone so intimidated because a man says he doesn’t like america?

Would you lke your Hilliary served medium rare, or well… DONE!!!

Sounds like a rat deserting or being pushed off a sinking ship!
The Clintons constant lies and duplicity
have caught up to them!
The Party’s over Hillary Pinnochio
Clinton! Go Home and take Geppetto(Bill)
with you!

Still hoping she gets the nomination, though it looks hopeless now. I just wanted to be able to vote against her.

For every lie tied to Obama there are 5 for Hillary. It is about time the Clinton’s karma came calling.

Face it, Hillary and Obama are both unqualified for president. It is just the way it is. Deal with it. Mccain is not my choice but better by far from those two clowns.
“Operation Chaos operative”

Hillary should have fired Mark Penn days ago. COLUMBIA even fired him before Hillary did!! AND the FACT is Hillary still didn’t fire Penn, Penn decided to quit!!
Hillary should not have had Penn on her campaign for one minute after she found out about the lobbying he was doing in COLUMBIA. But still Hillary for days gave permission for Mark Penn to remain as an advisor on her campaign.

Question for Question For No Obama
What is my URL address?

The Clintons are pro-NAFTA, anti-truthiness, and running a horribly inept campaign. Obama is politically and constitutionally astute, proposes appropriate policies, and can implement them.
It’s a done deal anyway, because Clinton cannot catch up in delegates, popular vote, or states.

major beatdown: Looks like you were doing better under Clinton!

Remember, the President is only as strong as the people he/she surrounds him/herself. Think about the constant turnover of key staffers and cabinet in the current White House. Think of how many Clinton staffers and “close” confidants have either been fired, investigated, indited, quit or been arrested. Seems like more of the same to me. Vote Obama.

Bosnian Adventures – Michelle will be starring as a proud American in an election near you.

Mich and FL will be counted just not the way you want them to counted

Oh should Clinton blame the press again?? Obama just coast on n there 08

To omementum: OBAMA needs to go….. He’s really stinking up the place with all his craziness…… His negatives are not going through the roof for nothing……The truth hurts guys. I know… But get over it and let him go….
OBAMANATIONS…… JUST LET GO…..

Omentum: I will never go to bed as long as the Evil Rev Wright is lose preaching his hate filled sermons demeanig america! No I will stay awake as long as it takes to make sure that Obama and his hate america first supporters are defeated and no longer pose a threat to this great country! I will bear any burden and pay any price to protect my country! God Bless America And God Bless Hillary Clinton, a true God Loving American!

It is coming to an end for Mrs. Clinton.
She is just to polarizing she will not and acacnnot win the nomination.
She has to much against her. Supers know if they were to give her the nod, McCain and the Republican party would have a geat field day with her,
Obama 08

omentum – Ok. How about we discuss troop withdrawl?
Obama – “It’s time to set a hard date to signal a new mission in Iraq and to begin to bring our troops home. It’s time to ensure that we complete the change in mission and the drawdown of our forces, by the end of April 2008 – a date that is consistent with the date in my plan back in January.”
Obama this week: United States should transition to an “over-watch” force of between 60,000 and 80,000 troops by the end of 2010, according to an article Friday in the New York Sun.

Angel, I support Obama, not sure who you support. But I’m not down with such accusations. Was there an investigation into this?
Defense attorneys defend many people-that is their job. They defend the guilty and the innocent–our laws allow everyone to have a fair trial and fairl legal representation.
These are strong accusations and if true would mean disbarring and probably jail time.
Please don’t smear people like that if you aren’t absolutely sure. I’m sure you wouldn’t like such accusations (if rumors) spread about your candidate or yourself or your family member.

I wander when the Clinton campaign will fire Hillary Rodham Clinton from the candidate position…

One upside for Clinton fans: With Mark Penn gone, the Clinton campaign might actually become honest?

Chuck: How do you get your news pony express! Obama has been going to Coe’s prayer breakfast too! He said that he has spoken at the breakfast too! Well this looks like another passport spy story!

The Colombia trade controversy was not the first case in which a client of Penn’s irritated the Clinton campaign.
If that was the case why did she keep him on?
I wonder what he has on her??
Maybe we will found out if she kicks him to the curb.

The charity to which the Clinton’s donated? Their own foundation!
So they get to decide how that money gets spread around.
Not my idea of charity.

Looks like the rats are going down with the ship. How odd… I would have thought blue-collar workers had more street sense. Why do you think her key constituencies are old, poor, and uneducated? Your candidate doesn’t care about you people, she just knows how gullible you are.

Clinton: One Foot In The Grave – Bet you have friends in low places like the rest of us as well.

Step aside as Chief Strategist? Is that all he needs to step aside from? I just don’t get that. Why would she employ him in any role since supposedly he betrayed her?….unless he didn’t.

DAve R – Republican party? Does that party even exist anymore? Didn’t they die out with the rest of the dinosaurs back when the asteroid killed most of them off except for the McCainasouras?

At least we know that if Hillary sees something that goes against her public positions and campaign message, she will take action. In this case, she demonstrated her commitment to her message, by taking immediate action. Bravo!! It’s good to know that she will stand by the american people and follow-up words with actions. Senator Clinton rocks!!

Twigster – I’m with you on campaign reform. I have to be especially after I find myself bumming for dimes on the internet on a Sunday evening.

Bill Clinton said he would have liked to have paid more taxes, but under the Bush plan, he couldn’t. There is no law against making a donaltion to the federal government, so if he REALLY wanted to pay more, he could have. More of his political ranting!

Penn fired/demoted/resigned from top strategy job paying millions. On last couple of laps in a 500 mile race.
Hmmm, bad poll numbers coming up?

omentum,
You forgot experience laddy…..

OBAMA 08

People of Pennsylvania and all America!!! Are you so blind you cannot see the total lies of Clinton and Bush! I cannot stand anymore of the constant drumbeat of Hillary lies coming on the heels of Bush lies. Her chief guy is in Columbia doing deals about trade while Hillary is lying big time to the people of Pennsylvania. How do you think the Clintons got all that money? YOu cannot be all that stupid. They lie, lie, lie and lie some more while all they dopes believe them. They are not for you the working Pennsylvanian but themselves as their 109 million dollar income shouts. ARe we that stupid as a people—so were Germans in WWII and Russians when Lenin took over.

Kadee:
Yes, unfortunately you are almost correct. The republican party has been made up of liberals for the past 15 years. The funny part is, liberals whine and hate Bush and Mcain not being smart enough to realize, they are both really democrats who rode the republican ticket. I just laugh my butt off every time I hear a democrat complain about it, they are mocking themselves andare too self-centered and stupid to realize it.
I pray for the day we get our next Richard Nixon or Ronal Reagan. In fact, I would love to see Obama elected. I want democrats aross the country to eat their own crow. I want to hear their whining, I want them to see the mess Peloski and a liberal president can make. I want 35% of liberals paychecks going to taxes to support illegal mexicans, I want them to see what happens when “evil big oil” is taxed to death as penalty for making 7% profit and refuse to invest anymore because of it, I want liberals to see what will CONTINUE to happen to the price of foodstuffs as we force even more of this ethanol farse and subsidize it, I have a lot more but I’ll save it. You are sheep, you are falling for thelies, the truth really sucks, yone day you will have to face it and it won’t be pretty. I just can’t wait.

Clinton still look to Mark Penn for “advice.”

Notice how FOX is keeping Rev Wright in the news for McCain and Karl Rove. And how ABC is doing it for the Clintons. Most Americans do not see this as a team effort by both the Clinton and McCain camps.
I think Karl Rove, McCain and the Clintons are working together on Obama. They want to get rid of him they know he does not play by there rules. They know Obama is a threat to the way Washington has been doing business for the last 50 years. Obama gets more and more death threats every day from what I hear. They will continue you to attack him not directly but by others. This way The Clintons and McCain they can keep there hands clean. Sean Hannity of Fox wants to destroy Obama he is doing the bidding for Karl Rove. FOX will report as much negative stuff on Obama as they can. They want Hillary to win they are going to try and kill Obama”s chances. FOX will continue to run this story though for as long as they can.
They know he has a good shot of wining in November, this tag team arrangement will be exposed to the public real soon. McCain has the biggest problem it is the economy and Iraq. If anything, and I mean anything goes wrong with either one of these issues McCain is done.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive…Obama.

I cannot wait to hear how the Clinton campaign puts a positive spin on this one. As an aside, both Obama and Clinton spoke in Montana this weekend. Obama spoke at 10 AM in Missoula. Crowds began gathering outside the 8,000 seat arena the night before. The venue was completely full when Obama spoke and the overflow crowd, estimated in the thousands, was seated in the outdoor football stadium. (the temperature was in the high 20′s) After finishing his speech indoors, Obama went to the stadium and spoke to those who could not fit in the arena. On Sunday, Hillary spoke in Missoula as well. Her venue was an airplane hanger. There were no lines. People who attended (hundreds, not thousands) were able to drive up to the hanger, park, and stroll in without waiting. Montana is a state which is over 98% white. Interesting that the huge swell of support is for Barak Obama. Bottom line: Hillary is all but finished.

Looks like he’s bailing out on a sinking ship before he’s forced to in a few weeks anyway!

@omentum: hilarious anyway, thanks for the laugh although unintended. those anatomy classes do have a way of causing flashbacks…

MIguy
I am voting for Obama. We need one heck of a change in Washington. However, if Clinton somehow manages to win, I would vote for her. Why? Because someday, I want to be able to look at my children in their eyes and say that I did the best that I could to make this place better for their generation. I believe in this country and want to make it better. I hope everyone calms down and consideres this themselves.

@Sara:
I think (and the polls suggest) that you are in the majority. Most Clinton/Obama supporters will back whoever wins. Now I’m not saying not to give John McCain a chance, but he’s going to need some good ideas to win rather than ‘stay the course’.

Jaybird…..huh??
That’s just crazytalk.

hillary has gotten plenty good media coverage, im sure if obamas campaign was coming up with scandal after scandal like this, the media would have been calling for him to step aside, the clintons own the media in this country, and i believe she is in league with mccain to take obama down, what a shame when she says mccain would make a better president than obama, democrats should be out raged by that statement!!! please hillary step aside and end your campaign!

@heyyou:
That’s why I say not to take what people write on here seriously. People hide behind their anonymity to say dumb things. Without accountability, there is no way to say who those people actually support. Consider for just a moment that maybe some of those posting these things are Republicans trying to antagonize you.

@Fred:
No disrespect, but don’t you think that Jesus was probably darker in complexion than the blond-haired, blue eyed Jesus typically depicted? Of course this has nothing to do with the topic of this blog, but just an observation.

heyyou—I was a woman before I was an Obama supporter. I find that term offensive. Whoever said that needs to step off.

It is hard for me to get my mind wrapped around the idea there are people who can possibly believe Hillary would make a good president. How???? What does she stand for???Do we believe now or yesterday???? How can so many people be duped like this????? How????? Are they so used to being told what to believe they can’t look anything up???? Where is their memory from Arkansas years and the White House years???? That half white baby from your little girl was an accident!!! I did not have sexual relations with “that” girl. I do not know how those stolen files got into my office!!! I didn’t support NAFTA!!! I misspoke over and over about sniper fire!!! I understand how it feels to be poor and on food stamps!!! You can’t blame me because I got rich cheating you.

Here in Ohio, when an Obama economic advisor had a discusion with Canadian officals, All Hell broke loose!!
At no point during this Firestorm did Mark Penn think maybe he was involved in a conflict of intrest??
The laughable part of the scandel here in Ohio is – Canada is NOT the problem!! Canadian workers aren’t driving down our wages!!
But NAFTA, CAFTA, and eventually SAFTA (South American Free Trade Agreement) is an inevitability.
The Clintons are just a nicer face on the exact same One World policies.
One day, America will be in a real war of survival not a corporate cash-cow war. $1.5 trillion to take down terrorists? Suckers are born everyday!!
China and Russia have spheres of influence that are growing rapidly, eventually their national interests and our national interests will collide.
And only then will we realize that outsourcing our manufacturing to China, when we are at war with China isn’t so smart.
(Hot War, Cold War, or Economic War)

@kerry:
Your point is that politicians do what politicians do. Which candidate won’t listen to lobbyists? None. Special interests? None. Why? Because lobbyists and special interests are the collective voices of different classes of people (like the AARP). So if you support a candidate, I would highlighting the positive attributes of your candidate.

This bunch of liars is simply amazing! I still can’t believe people actually vote for these losers to lead this country. No wonder we have Bush, Clinton, Bush and we’re trying to elect another Clinton??? Why, do we desire a king or something? Perhaps a family dynasty? Is Clinton’s daughter or Jeb Bush next in line for the throne? This country is in very serious economic trouble and suffering from declining living standards everyday…. We desperately need different and better leaders. I’m sick of it already! No more Bush’s and no more Clinton’s, ever! Their family’s and all descendants should be banned from running permanently. Anyone dumb enough to vote for a Bush or Clinton should be treated for mental illness and banned from voting until they recover their normal thought processes. Micky Mouse is starting to look good in this race and much smarter too!

she makes me wanna hurl!!!

@Akitisha:
Wow – what nice things we have to say about fellow Americans. My guess is you are trying to fuel the fire; we’ll see if it works.

Hillary Clinton, the 44th President of the United States of America. God Bless America, not GD America, as the Obamanation followers are use to hearing.

Hillary Clinton couldn’t run a popcorn stand, much less a campaign. This kind of experience disqualifies her as president.
Now all these people being chucked out better be careful that they don’t commit suicide, shot in the back of the head.

HAHAHAHAH, HILLARY CLINTON,,,,IM SORRY TO TELL U THAT ITS ALL OVER FOR U. CAN’T U SEE? THE SHIP IS SINKING, AND IT’S TOO LITTLE TO LATE!
HILLARY SUPPORTERS, ITS TIME WE RALLY BEHIND OUR NOMINEE, BARACK OBAMA, AND MAKE HIM PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
IF HILLARY CANNOT CONTROL HER CAMPAIGN, THERS’S NO WAY SHE CAN RUN THE WHITE HOUSE!

Obama is losing support here in Florida. If our delegates are not counted, our vote will count for McCain. There are two choices for the democrats: allow FL and MI and then Hillary wins the nomination or not count FL and MI and maybe Obama wins the nomination and loses the election. If FL and MI are not counted, both states will go republican. Hillary is the only hope for the democrats.

This is going to be a long hot summer it is really sad to see the hate on this page fired by the media who just reproted earnings in the 300million’s since January do you think they want it to stop . As a wise man once said trust no man and that can be said of anyone in power.

Dont worry hillary sour kool aid drinkers, mccain will never win in Nov, we love this Country way too much to let that happen, dont worry cheer up, i know you are disappointed in your candidate, we all are we expected better, but i guess this is a learning experience for us all, when a clintons lips are moving, they are LYING!!!

I see a qualified, knowledgeable and capable candidate ready to get our country back on track. It’s been 7 years of huge debts, wars and disregard of the constitution. If you want real change your looking at her!!!

ALL THESE HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS SHOULD ALL SURRENDER, ADN REALIZE THAT TIME IS UP!
SHE HAS TO GET OUT! JUST WAIT AND SEE HOW MANY SUPERDELEGATES WILL SWITCH SIDE FOR OBAMA TOMORROW MORNING!
AND ALL OF YOU WRITING LIES ABOUT OBAMA, U ALL WILL BE SHOCKED, WHEN OBAMA WILL BE INOGURATED AS THE NEXT AMERICAN PRESIDENT
SO U ALL SHOULD STOP TELLING LIES ABOUT OBAMA
WE ALL KNOW OBAMA IS GOING TO WIN
HILLARY IS SO DESPERATE, UNTIL SHE IS THINKING ABOUT GOING AFTER OBAMA’S PLEGED DELEGATES. SHE IS SOOOOO SEPERATE
HILLARY SHOULD QUIT THE RACE, THE SHIP IS SINKING, AND ALL HER STAFFERS ARE RUNING OUT.
SHE IS GOING TO SINK WITH BILL !!!!!!!

It’s so funno how Obama supporters say choosing Penn shows an error in judgment and reflects her executive abilities… But when Barack stays in the church of someone who says such hateful things for 20 years, and then has him participate in the Obama campaign it is ok… You guys should choose sides…. Or look at things objectivly…
One thing I have learnd from this election is that some people accept the mistakes that their candidates make and move on… while others believe their candidate is perfect….
I would be happy if Obama supporters just looked at some of the stuff out their on Obama and realize he is not perfect…

cassidywilly:
have you been taking your medication? I actually bought a pet rock when it was the fad, some years ago. I threw it out because it was useless. Save your self the embarrassment, vote Hillary.

Johnny m
I’m afraid Obama is one step ahead of the Hillary camp again. (What else is new?)
When this process nears its end he WILL let FLA and MICH count!!
If she doesn’t start blowing him out, she will still lose the popular vote even you count the uncontested FLA and MICH primary numbers.
He will then say that even though he didn’t compete in FLA and MICH, Hillary should still get those delegates and pop vote numbers added to her total.
He won’t have to face actually losing those states in contested elections, yet their outcomes will not change the final result.
Obama still wins!!

hilliers go to bed and come up with better lies and spin tomorrow!!! thats all ya’ll are good at!!!

thx “cassidywilly”i dont know why these hillary supporters are so brain washed and think that everything is peachy in this country! we need change real bad!!!80,000 jobs lost in march!!! yikes!!! we need to protect this country we love so much by voting out these bums who have run our economy almost aground by enriching themselves,hillary supporters can vote for mccain, i promise you in the general election, the republicans are split and half dont like mccain, they would be voting for obama, and all those new voters, obama wil win by a landslide mccain doesnt have a leg to stand on this nov! Americans are mad as hell at the republicans and even republicans out of shame will abandone their disgraced party this fall!!! all aboard the obama train!

To the Obama followers, how can you endorse a person that supported a so-called minister like Rev. Wright. You are, who you assciate with. I can no longer support Barak, he preaches unite and change, but now we know different.

the end is near!

when bill richardson endorsed obama, the writing was on the wall!!! the end is near for her campaign!!! ill let you hillapumpkins do the math!lol!

Penns business interests were in conflict with Hillary Clintons view, she disagreed with the bush admin’ wanting to put more jobs out of US…So you really shoulds get your facts correct, otherwise you just sound as crazed as WRIGHT!

,………….HER KOOL-AID CUP RUNNETH OVER!

To Cindy from Cindy in Seattle: I KNOW the woman died. I never implied it was funny. READ the news. (you have most certainly helped me make my point that Clintonites don’t bother with any independent fact finding but are only content in believing what HRC says)
Clinton has pulled this story from her campaign speech because she has since found out from the hospital (who, she should have gone to in the first place if she wanted the facts) that the woman was never denied healthcare AND in fact the woman HAD insurance. This was a point in case as to how HRC spins a story. AND to those of you who say that she got the story from a sheriff so that is the excuse for repeating the story as factual because if you can’t believe the law then… WELL I for one expect a bit more from someone who wants to be CIC. She is all about “vetting” will why didn’t she “vet” this story before she repeated it? I can tell you why… it didn’t serve her purpose.
Now she is claiming that she didn’t know what Mark Penn has been lobbying for? Give me a break… Penn has been with Billery since BC’s relection campaign. Further more it appears that she didn’t really “fire” Penn as news accounts would suggest… He is still going to be her pollster and offer campaign advise. (Duh, so they took away the title while letting him keep on doing exactly what he has been doing the entire campaign.)
NOW how about Hillary “vetting” Maggie Williams? Ms Williams was on the board of a now bankrupt subprime lender who targeted low income persons in urban areas (read minorities who are poor), saddled them with mortgates that averaged 14.13% and then they foreclosed on approximately 3 in 5 of those mortgages. HRC better get rid of Ms Williams before she goes spouting off about how she wants to “stem” the rate of foreclosures – 100′s of which were put in motion by her own campaign chief.
So Cindy, have you heard enough? I assure you I have plenty more of the FACTS. All you have to do is educate yourself.
P.S. Want a good read? Why not google Peter Paul v Clinton. That will rock your socks as it lays out what is possibly the largest campaign fundraising fraud in the history of the US… and who would have committed this alleged crime? Well, the answer would be Bill and Hillary.

cassidywilly: Obama must pay you a lot of money for all that manure you are spreading. I will never vote for a hypocrite, like Obama. I feel sorry for you, if you can’t see throught this empty suit with hollow words. If Rev. Wright didn’t open your eyes, then the Kool-aid has done it’s job. Remember, actions speak louder than words. Did you vote for Bush, when he was for “change”?

Cindy in Seattle:
An excellent post!

JOHNNY M
WHAT IF OBAMA PAYS ME FOR THIS? IM SURE YOUR TALKING BECAUSE HILLARY DOES NOT EVEN HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY YOU!
HILLARY IS A LIAR, THIS BOSNIA STORY HAS OPENED AMERICA;S EYES, AND THEY NOW KNOW THAT SHE IS A LIAR, SHE HAS BEING EXPOSED, THATS WHY SHE FEELS SO FRUSTRATED, UNTIL SHE’S TALKING ABOUT GOING AFTER OBAMA’S PLEGED DELEGATES.
HILLARY’S LIES AND HIPOCRACY ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST!!!!!!!!!!!1
SHE WILL LOOSE THIS ELECTION INFRONT OF YOUR EYES!!!!!
WELL SHE HAS ALREADY LOST.
KOOL-AID HILLARY, THAT WON’T WORK.

Obama nuts, would you take your children to hear Rev. Wright sermon? Would this be good judgement to have your children attend Rev. Wright’s sermon? Enough said…

Obama fans, please google the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative and see what remarkable work Bill Clinton has done since leaving office. Perhaps you could send to Reverend Wright the part about the CGI and its partners, such as the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation, pledging close to $300 million for improving education and health outcomes for children in Asia and AFRICA. I wish just once one Obama fan would criticize Hillary Clinton on her economic policies, her plan to get us out of Iraq, her health care plan, something concrete. You can’t, so you just spew forth the garbage on this blog. How sad.

About time she got rid of him. Hopefully she gets a refund.

Cindy in Seattle: America is also about every citizen having the right to vote,so why is Barack Obama doing everything he can to disenfranchise the voters in Michigan and Florida?

Twigster: No, when Hillary is elected, things will change for the better. Remember when Bill cleaned up the Bush mess? The Clinton administration was one of the best periods in American history. We had good employment, surplus in the budget, and the USA was admired throughout the world. Why do you think President Clinton is in high demand all over the world to visit and give speeches.

As Karl Rove stated; The idea of Rev. Wright in the white house will stop Obama from winning the election, if he is nominated.

I seen the note Obama wrote about taking our guns away. This left wing liberal will not get my vote.
Art in west virgina

@ Simon C.
Paying bloggers? No that’s where your donations to Hillary went.
That and those sway hotel rooms she rented in January. Now you guys have to pay her back that 5 million dollar loan.
Sounds like a winning strategy for someone who claims she can fix our economy…

Hey DCvoter if a woman like Hillary would have come with the same credentials as Obama with only two yrs as a US Senator she would have been laughed out of here. I see a huge double standard here and you Obama supporters should be ridiculed.

Hey twigster are you facing reality that you candidate can’t win a single large state or swing state? Until Obama can accomplish that then he shouldn’t be the nominee plain and simple.

The vitriol in the comments here is disgusting. Voting for a President is not about emotions, it’s about looking objectively at who would be best for the job. None of the candidates are perfect, but if you step back and look at it objectively, it’s very difficult to say that Hillary Clinton is a good choice for President.
Simply put, she made her experience the cornerstone of her campaign, yet when asked to cite that experience, almost every single example she gave was a lie. So on this first point, the objective conclusion is that she is a difficult person to put your trust in.
Secondly, her campaign has been managed horribly. They were completely unprepared to continue the campaign after Super Tuesday, and had blown tons of money on frivolous campaign expenses because of it. She’s had to retool her overall strategy a number of times. She’s had to replace her campaign manager, and now her chief strategist because of a blatant, and frankly, idiotic conflict of interests. She’s been completely unable to get a handle on her husband who has gone out on the trail and turned red while wagging his finger at seemingly anyone who dares contradict or challenge him. And all of this has taken her from being the “inevitable” nominee to being the highly unlikely nominee. So if Hillary is so unable to run a smooth campaign, why should we think she can run a whole country?
I’m also concerned about how she claims to value the voices of voters in upcoming primaries while simultaneously calling for pledged delegates to vote counter to the will of people who’ve already voted in previous primaries. And her concern for the voters of Michigan and Florida was non-existant until it became clear that they could help her.
Hillary has done a lot to divide the Democratic party in this nomination process. In a time when we desperately need a President that can bring the country together, Hillary is simply not qualified to be given the job.

Quick,
Someone give James Carville a call.

A Concerned Citizen when are you idiotic right-wing hacks ever going to learn? Obama is a Christian. What part of that don’t you understand? The Chris or the tain. You probably still think Elvis is still alive. Wow these wacko right-wingers are hilarious.

Just goes to show what we already knew, Hillary can’t run a campaign, her household or anything else and she can’t manage personnel. This is the second manager she’s canned this year, and we are only into April.

Hillary should have fired this man days ago!!! Even Colombia fired him days ago, yet Hillary still had him on as her chief strategist, for days and days, knowing that he had tried to broker a trade deal with Colombia. This shows me that Hillary didn’t really care what the voters thought, that she kept him on her campaign for days, thereby giving the voters the middle finger. I have no doubt that Americans will be seeing alot of that middle finger if she becomes president.
Good luck getting her to actually do what she is promising if she does becomes president.

REPLY TO dcordes | Apr 6, 2008 10:09:07 PM
Don’t assume all so-called attacks on HRC are from Obama supporters; who knows who’s posting on here and for what purpose?
More to the point, however, don’t hold Obama himself responsible for what bloggers write! That doesn’t really make sense, does it?
Just consider: Does Obama tear down HRC, even when her campaign undertakes some pretty low tactics? No, what he does is try to counter with the facts. Even though HRC has questioned his CIC credentials while claiming McCain’s and her own readiness, he has never done anything similar. He’s always said she’s a formidable competitor and would be a better president than McCain, although he himself would be better.
Obama has been really decent and does not condone the politics of personal destruction. So, don’t blame him for what some bloggers post, please; judge him on what he himself says and does.
(Just imagine if his campaign did choose to fight dirty; they could bring up so much new and old baggage there wouldn’t be time to talk about the real issues!)

Hillary Clinton has proved during the past few months that she is a fighter, that she is tenacious, and that she is in the race to win. There’s just one problem. She’s already lost.
No matter how you define victory, Barack Obama holds an insurmountable lead in the race to earn the Democratic nomination. He leads in the one metric that matters most: the pledged delegates chosen directly by Democratic voters. But he also leads in the popular vote, the number of states won and money raised. Still, Obama’s advantages aren’t large enough to allow him an outright victory. He needs the 20 percent of party delegates who aren’t bound to a candidate. It’s with these superdelegates that Clinton has staked her ephemeral chances.
Clinton’s near-lone chance of victory rests with a coup by superdelegate, persuading enough of them to overcome the primary voters’ preference. Yet a coup by elite Democrats would be ill-received, to put it mildly. Obama’s base spans the party’s most loyal and engaged constituencies: African-Americans, professionals who generate hundreds of millions in small-dollar donations and a conventional-wisdom-defying outpouring of youth support.
If Obama lost at the polling booth, these supporters would accept the voters’ verdict and carry on. Many, including those who backed Howard Dean’s heartbreaking 2004 campaign, have been through such disappointment before. But if Beltway bigwigs steal a hard-won victory, it would amount to a declaration of civil war. Not only would the resolve of thousands of loyal foot soldiers and the party’s new fund-raising base be irrevocably shaken, but it would torpedo the opportunity to build and strengthen a new generation of Democrats.
Clinton’s best-case scenario for victory requires sundering her own party. It is an inherently divisive strategy, but she doesn’t appear to care. For Clinton, all’s fair in pursuit of victory—even destroying her party from within. Her campaign has adopted a bizarre “insult-40-states strategy,” which has belittled states small, liberal and Red. Apparently, the only states that matter are the ones she coincidentally happens to win.
The Clinton campaign once justified efforts to foster a superdelegate insurrection by suggesting that she could regain the popular-vote lead in the remaining contests. But as her chances of pulling off that feat dwindle, even that argument is falling by the wayside. In an interview with TPM Election Central, top campaign adviser Harold Ickes said: “I think being ahead in the popular vote is an important factor. I don’t think it’s dispositive.” But when the popular vote, delegates earned and states won aren’t dispositive, no rationale remains for her destructive coup attempt. Clinton, unfortunately, is pretending not to notice. So at the moment, it’s useless to demand she exit the race. If logic, math, appeals to party unity and the evaporation of undecided superdelegates won’t sway her, nothing will.
Yet while the Beltway establishment frets about the alleged damage this drawn-out contest is doing to the Democratic Party, in reality, it’s been an almost unalloyed good.
For one, the frenzied organizing around the country has proved a catalyst for dramatic party building in states that had been Democratically dormant. State after state has reported record turnout, and thousands of new Democrats are registering in advance of each contest. In upcoming Pennsylvania, Democrats have gained a net 200,000 registered voters over Republicans this year; that number is 105,000 in North Carolina.
The party can now take advantage of the infrastructure both campaigns leave behind. The unprecedented level of participation and organization not only reinforces Blue states, it improves Democratic odds in traditional swing states. In fact, the tide threatens to make GOP stalwarts like Texas up for grabs this fall.
The reverberations are being felt far beyond the race for the White House. Democrats are poised to make massive gains at the congressional and local levels for a second consecutive election cycle. They’ve already started: in a March 8 House special election, Obama volunteers helped Democrats capture the solidly conservative Illinois congressional seat formerly held by Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert.
Finally, there’s no denying that the extra pressure has made Obama a better candidate. After living a charmed political life, with nary a serious general-election battle against a Republican on his résumé, he needed to prove his mettle in hand-to-hand political combat. His able handling of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright revelations didn’t just prove his deft political skills to worried supporters like me and superdelegates. It allowed him to address a potentially explosive issue well before November (though it’s a relationship the GOP is sure to exploit).
No one can persuade Clinton to get out of the primary race. But by any metric imaginable, Obama has already won. The superdelegates aren’t self-destructive enough to change that, and the sooner they line up behind Obama, the sooner Democrats can focus their fire on the real target: John McCain. Clinton can stick around, but the rest of the party will move on without her.

Penn is right!
Clinton and Obama and Pelosi are wrong.
When the Democrats do something really stupid – they have no equal.
Colombia is not our enemy – Venezuela is.
The Democrats have a huge problem with enemy identification. They make Gump look bright: Stupid is what stupid does!

What’s the difference? Hillary’s done!

So, when are we finally going to see Hillary’s mask-dropping speech to the nation – which I am sure will historically culminate in “[expletive] you all, America!”?
I need to tape this!

Its still too close to call in Pennsylvania – according to the three polls I looked at. But I believe she will lose there and – if she does – I think she will bow out. As close as the race is, I feel she should be able to do that without too much criticism – for not getting out, not for all the other stuff. If she loses Pennsylvania, then I think criticism of her staying in the race beyond that point will be more valid. While I don’t think she wins, with as many states left as there are and with it this close, I don’s see why people expect her to bow out. It won’t affect things in November. Be patient.

Thank you mark for your open minded analysis. PA is not happy with her even if she was loved by them but Obama seem more open minded than her and has shown immense leadership skills. Clintons fought well but they should safe the last of their image before they loose everything. God bless America

Penn will continue to be paid millions of dollars taken from the pockets of her supporters. If Hillary wants to keep him, that’s up to her. But it should be paid by the Clinton’s directly.
