Obama Campaign Revives Attack Over Clinton’s ‘Bosnia’ Account

ABC News’ Sunlen Miller and Kate Snow report: Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign has reinvigorated its attack against Sen. Hillary Clinton, today rolling out three Bosnian war veterans to make the case that Clinton was dishonorable when she made inaccurate comments about dodging sniper fire in Bosnia.

Clinton has admitted that her campaign trail claim that she dodged sniper fire in 1996 while landing in Tuzla airport in Bosnia was a misstatement.

At Wednesday’s ABC News debate, she said, “I’m embarrassed by it. I have apologized for it.  I’ve said it was a mistake. And it is, I hope, something that you can look over.”

But today, it was clear the Obama campaign was not ready to look over this issue, calling a conference call with reporters and offering up veterans who have faced sniper fire to take issue with Clinton’s claim.

U.S. Maj. Gen. Walter Stewart called Clinton’s misstatement a “dishonor” that showed a lack of moral authority. 

Retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Michael Kotyk called Clinton’s statement a whopper and said, “If she’s gonna tell stories like that is as candidate, what will she do when she’s standing in front of Congress? … How do you expect your troops to follow you if you’re not providing good leadership?”

The veterans argued that the misstatement wasn’t their issue. It was what her statement showed about Clinton’s honesty level.

“This isn’t about misspeaking,” Stewart argued. “This is about your character.”

Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson shot back (so to speak) on a conference call with reporters.

“Boy when the Obama campaign decides to go negative, they really go negative!” Wolfson said.

Wolfson noted that at Wednesday night’s debate, Obama had said his campaign only talked about Clinton’s misstatements on the Tuzla incident when officials were asked by reporters.

"Today, on a Saturday before the election, they have a conference call?"  Wolfson asked rhetorically. “This is part of the attack, attack, attack on this last weekend here."

The roll out of the veterans’ attack on Clinton came on the day of Obama’s train tour of Pennsylvania.

Obama, on his four-city, whistle-stop tour, reinvigorated his own attacks of Clinton in a state where he has been consistently trailing in the polls.

“She also believes that, you know, the nature of politics is that you say what people want to hear,” Obama said at a stop at the Paoli train station.

He then referenced Clinton’s stance on NAFTA: “So maybe you say something about trade when you’re campaigning with your husband eight, 10, 12 years ago. You say something different now [when] you’re campaigning in Ohio or Pennsylvania."

Obama continued, “She’s taken different positions at different times on issues as fundamental as trade, or even the war, to suit the politics of the moment. And when she gets caught at it, the notion is, ‘Well, you know what, that’s just politics. That’s how it works in Washington. You can say one thing here and say another thing there.’"

At his first train stop of the day, Obama offered up a critique of controversies and gaffes that were picked apart on the campaign trail.

“I’m not interested in having a debate about flag pins,” Obama said, referring to the discussion about his decision to not wear a flag pin on his lapel. Obama said that change can only come if “we deliver independence from the petty, trivial nonsense.”

Wow. I did not think the Obama campaign had it in them. Its about time. Its unfortunate, but when you deal with people of the low caliber as the Clintons sometimes you just have to roll in the mud.

WAIT one minute, I thought just like a day ago Obama was saying that this type of politics wasn’t getting anything done for the American people. I thought he was saying that the questions he got in the debate were unfair. This is BS and he knows it, he can’t win with 10 million on tv and he can’t win with pulling people out from the woodwork to try to make Senator Clinton look untrustworthy. She has 35 Generals and Admirals including General Wesley Clark behind. I TRUST THEM, not Obama who has absolutely NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE.
Who would you want to answer the phone, someone who has been in the white house for 8 years, someone who has been on the Senate Foreign Relations comm., someone who has been appointed to a bipartisan counsel to reform the military, someone who has been endorsed by 35 distinguished military personnel, or someone with NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE.
I think the answer is clear with two wars going on. HILLARY IS THE CLEAR CHOICE.
OBAMA IS PLAYING POLITICS CAUSE HE KNOWS HE’S BEHIND

Evidently, the flag pen issue is a non-issue with BO, but it is very much an issue with a lot of people. It goes to the very core of his character, plus his friendship with terroists. The sniper-fire issue has been an issue with Hillary, but in all honesty, I think that in all probability, during her trip over to Bosnia, she had probably been forewarned about the possibility of gunfire and it influenced her thinking that at any time it could commence.
The Republicans should take note of what BO and his handlers are doing to Clinton, and get prepared to face the underhanded lies that his campaign puts out should he be the nominee.

Obama has been playing softball this whole campaign and she’s still twisting in her own lies and “mis-statements”.

As the Hillary Camp likes to say, “The Republicans are gonna use it in the Fall, so might as well bring it up now!!”

People are losing their houses and the question coming from a lady who is taking care of her sick huseband is amazing, a plan from Hillary. Generals have said no and express disgust to Hill the Bosnian General, she has lost respect and cannot be trusted as Commander in Chief by the Generals and Commanders. That is the end of it. Hill has lost she is unlectable totally and completly. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

I personally in my lifetime have seen a candidate with the friends and background that Obama has(drugs, terrorists, racism, mulims,turn your back on the flag that millions have fought and died for get accepted as this man has!) But because Hillary didn’t leave Bill to be a reason for all the hate is just astounding. That is exactly what it is too. You wait, the republicans are going to hand his head to him on a platter if he gets the nomination. This is one scary dude and one scary bunch of people supporting him if they condone all this.

It’s about time the Obama campaign took on Mrs. Clinton. I have said to friends, her history is so poor, that I could take her apart. Obama’s “bitter” statement was in-artful, but at least it wasn’t an outright lie. At the debate Clinton still couldn’t say she lied, she again played word games, from her own mouth she “look over it” Voters of PA., N.C and IN., please put a stop to Mrs. Clinton, she’s no good for us.

What a flamer Obama is. He wasn’t man enough to stand up when she brought it up at the debate so now he tries the old swift boat tactic on Hillary. He flounderd so badly during the debate and now his supporters are grasping for whatever they can cling to. He is no statesmen in fact I wouldn’t even let him speak to pre-schoolers.

So much for a different kind of politics. As long as we’re talking about being dishonest what about Obama flat out not telling the truth about his handwriting on the guncontrol questionnaire?

Posted by: Pam | April 19, 2008, 5:47 pm 5:47 pm

Funny how Obama wants to call her out when his guy makes backdoor comments to the Canadians about NAFTA. He’s a hypocrite of the highest order. And find me one report, ONE REPORT at least, where Clinton ever said she “dodged” sniper fire. “Landing under sniper fire” is not the same as “dodged” sniper fire. ABCNews you need to raise the bar a bit on your wording.

Obama can never get my vote no matter how negative he goes. In fact, the more negatively he throws attacks at Hillary, the more he revolts me. What a sick another politician!

Posted by: cindy | April 19, 2008, 5:48 pm 5:48 pm

What a bunch of losers. He lies, hates this country, makes friends with racists, takes advantage of others via Rezko, pits the wealthy against the poor, and can only babble when there’s no teleprompter. She lies, hates the military, takes glory for the sacrifice of others, pits the wealthy against the poor, and inserts so many “you know”s in her response that I’m wondering if I’m talking to a teenager. The 3rd choice in McCain is also a losing proposition… May the Lord have mercy upon this nation.

Opponents have been trying to swiftboat the Clintons for three decades because they can’t “beat” them on the ISSUES that really matter to Americans. Thanks for admitting — FINALLY — that Obama is no different. Just another empty suit.

Hillary funded a terrorist organization called the PLO when she was director of the New World Foundation!
in the 90s, she hosted parties at the White House for this group and they gave her $50,000.00.

What Hillary needs to do next is explain why she funded a terrorist group called the PLO, when she was director of The New World Foundation!
She needs to apologize for funding the enemy of Israel…who, in case she didn’t know…is our ALLY!
And you need to explain why you would still support a woman who took money and gave money to this terrorist group!

After PA, Hillary should bow out of the race gracefully to show her support for the party. Latest polls show that Hillary will not win by double digits like her campaign said it needs to. Let’s all get behind a true leader that speaks the truth. Obama 2008!

I’m sitting over here in Ireland digesting all this so I may be totally off-beam, but I think Obama has been doing himself no favours these last couple of days.
First he belittles small town America. Then he has a poor debate showing. Then he complains about it. Then he does that ‘brushing his shoulders thing’ (I mean, how arrogant and conceited can you get?) Now after all his big talk he sends out people to attack Hillary over Bosnia (can’t even do that himself)
I hope you guys do the smart thing. Otherwise, I’m pretty confident he won’t get elected come November so despite Iraq etc. a McCain presidency will be a relief….

So where is your exprience. Here is your problem, you went into this Race with one foot in the White House and wnet to sleep comfortabilly and the train left and it took you too long to reliase that you had work to do . Shame

I mean really, it’s not ok for the republicans to have disenfranchised voters in 2000, but it’s A-OK for the Dems to do it?

Who cares if Obama talks to Hamas. I’d actually like a president who talks to groups, unfriendly or otherwise. We talked to the USSR throughout the Cold War. We maintain relations with China.
We SHOULD communicate with every group possible–because there cannot be any diplomatic solutions or peace until people talk. Military confrontation has NEVER brought extended peace in the Mid East.

Who is surprised that Obama is just another typical politician who will do or say anything to get a vote? I can’t believe I bought his load of garbage for a while there. No more.
The Clintons need to find the families of those people killed by Obama’s friend, terrorist Bill Ayers. The guy is a killer today, same as he was 40 years ago so Obama’s excuse was lame. The guy would be in jail except for a technicality.

This latest concerted effort looks like Obama really hopes to bring everyone together with hope and unity. He is such a double-talker. I guess if you think your mentor John Kerry was swift-boated successfully, it is worth the fallout to try to win Pennsylvania with it. Some of us have never believed his soundbite rhetoric, we never believed he had depth of integrity or knowledge in the debates, and we certainly do not believe that he is the type of candidate who can bring us all together this year or in four years. His judgement is very flawed: Spiritual mentor Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, a 17-year relationship with Rezko, his double-talk on NAFTA with the Canadians, and his personal hits on the campaign trail, while crying for the ISSUES to be discussed when he is caught in double-talk. His “bitter” remarks were not just mispeak, they were his deep felt opinions. If he thinks Bosnia sniper fire will work, let him do it. We know that Hillary Clinton went to Bosnia, we know there was sniper fire in the area, we know that children had been killed by sniper fire while sledding, we know that old people were killed by sniper fire while trying to get jugs of water, and we know that the area was still dangerous. Obama can hope to do to Hillary what swiftboaters did to John Kerry, but, at what price? His integrity? He doesn’t have any. He is a green opportunist, buoyed by his pull of race cards from the very beginning, and his enlistment of every college age first time voter he can find. The majority of Americans will not fall for his shallow rhetoric. Where is Deval Patrick these days?

Hill’s belated apology in the debate about her sniper lies and promised to
sleep more. So, she’s now supporting Bill on the alibi of her “misspoke”, why
can’t she be honest and stop her cover-ups ? I guess congenital liars just can’t stop lying even for once. Then her “yes, yes, yes” moment if like she was faking an orgasm when George forced her to give a direct answer. Voters should see her lies to that answer, because she have been pushing the opposite answer to the Supers. While Hill may have retained the support of her rabid supporters, she is running out of option and will be good by serving as
Barack’s sparring partner till then.

Looking at McCain’s policies how in heaven’s name could he be an option to either one of the Dems., you’re not voting for the betterment of the country, that would make you a hate voter. If you felt that strongly about your Democratic candidate not winning, the logical position for you would be not to vote at all, not for McCain.

Tony Rezko hosted fundraising events for Obama in his home and was on Obamas US Senate campaign finance committee which collected $14 million for his campaign against conservative Alan Keyes, an African-American who served as an Ambassador during the Reagan Administration. In order to avoid a scandal during his presidential campaign, Obama returned $85,000 that Rezko and his family had donated to him.

At this point, I am not for either of them. If it isnt Clinton “mis-speaking”( i.e “screw’em ,Bill”), it is Obama’s non recognition of anything and everything that could become a stumbling block for him,(i.e. his pastor at his church and the Avery’s). I am not and have not been for McCain either.

One who is dedicated to this country, and only this country. One who cares about the people and the government. One who can deal with and work with foreign relations and other country leaders. Having the character to be trusted, Stand their Ground and willing to march into war or die protecting The country and the people.
The world has been watching closely. They have seen him lie and the truth come out. They have seen him flip flop on issues and foreign affairs. They have heard his words on Trade. They see he is a pacifist. They have seen him Not answer direct questions. I’m sure our enemies would love him.
We all know that political promises are air in the wind.
The majority of democrats see Obama for what he is, and they do not want him.
Why he is being shoved down our throats is beyond me. The DNC must not care about the American people. It will be the DNC’s fault for tearing the party apart, That is something they will have to carry on their shoulders, the people know this.

Time and Newsweek have consistently sided with Obama. The 54-35 poll is bogus. The margin should not be greater than 10-11, which is the worst margin given by Gallup and Rasmussen consistently in the past three weeks (two widely respected firms).

You only need to look at the headers to the left of this blog to see that just as`Clinton is talking about health care, Obama campaign is bringing up Bosnia gaffe. It’s not like he did not misrepresent his parents meeting during the march in Selma to romanticize his own conception.
I agree with one of the previous blogger. Obama held his own during the first 45 mins of the debate. It was when they started talking issues that he went downhill.

Rezko was just a client I did about 5 hours of work for. I didn’t know Wright ever said those awful things. Obama also had a sudden admission of additional money he had received from Rezko when he knew Rezko was going to trial. Obama’s a snake in the grass. You don’t even know a lot more that I know by doing a lot of research. This a very dangerous man to be the President of the U.S. of America.

Posted by: carolyn | April 19, 2008, 6:50 pm 6:50 pm

Here we go again! I don’t recall Clinton ever going this full scale about any comment made by Obama. This proves, to me at least, that Obama’s claim of a different type of politics is hot air — just as most of his campaign platform. He has no right to criticize HRC for flip-flopping or misspeaking. He has done plenty of both.
The pressure put on him the other night seems to have blown the top off his boiler…
His demeanor and actions since the ABC debate are those of a petulant child, certainly not those of a man ready to be POTUS.
Unity…NOT! Change…pffftt.

This is not the first time that Obama has stammered at a debate. If he cannot stand up to Hillary, how can he stand up for our country. Obama totally wimped out in this debate and then turned cry baby along with some of his followers. Hillary did not make up the questions, but was prepared. There has been much tougher debates where Hillary was picked on and she came through without looking wiped out. Obama was not prepared and seemed to be making up as he went along. Obama did not appear as President material. All the whining & crying & complaining is not appealing, just because he gave a bad performance in the debate. Again this was not Hillary’s fault. How can Obama represent the United States against Heads of States of other countries??? Will you call in when he makes a fool of himself or is he to whine in pity that that the questions or problems were too hard??? Obama is a WIMP!!!!

So it appears that Mr. Sqeeky clean Obama who is so above negative campaigning is now negative campaigning. So what exactly is it that would make anyone now vote for him. He’s copied all of Hillary’s positions on the issues, that’s why it’s important for her to always answer debate questions first–that way he remembers what his answer should be. This guy is a totally flawed candidate, even if he beats McCain he won’t know what to do. We’ve had 8 years of that and our country is on the verge of complete financial insolvency, our military is overstretched, and yet we allow Bush to “honorably” finish his term without impeachment.

I guarrantee they already can tell you how many Sundays he sat and listened to Rev Wright spew his hatred against everyone including America and every conversation he ever had with Rezko. By the time they get done, we will all hope Obama just goes away quietly. At least McCain will be a one term wonder at his age.

Apparently Wright and Ayers isn’t enough….they have to manufacture scandals.
And what is worse, lets manufacture one with drugs and sex….if nothing else sticks, that will.
We’re not stupid, we know the rove/clinton playbook. We read it. We refuse to let bs scandals deter us from the important issues.

More DESEPERATE behavior from Barack Obama and his campaign of HATE and SMEAR. So much for being “above dirty politics” – Obama’s campaign embodies everything ever known about TRASH POLITICS. He cannot run on his own strengths so he systemtically sets about trying to destroy the character and reputation of his opponent. YES, REPUBLICAN POLITICS! As a Democratic Party supporter, I DISOWN Barack Obama – he is no Democrat. He has insulted every core group within the party and his divisive, shamelssly negative politics have torn the party to shreds. He should be ASHAMED of himself. Though I know he won’t be as people who are extremely NARCISSISTIC don’t experience guilt or remorse. The sooner Obama exits this race, the sooner the Democratic Party can begin to repair the DAMAGE that Obama, his campaign staff, and his supporters have done to the Democratic Party. SHAME ON THEM ALL for their disgraceful and disgusting conduct!

Hillary–lied about ducking bullets in Bosnia —and she is still lying!!!Why is it o.k. for her to slam Obama–but when he tries to defend himself he is attacked for being mean to a white woman?? I am still waiting for “The Clinton’s” to walk on water.She mis-speaks—he lies!!!Hillary reminds me of an old song”What ever Lola wants,Lola gets”!

To refresh memories-Vince Foster was involved with the Clinton Machine. Also, what about Hillary’s dealings with the New World Foundation? What about her dealings with the Castle Grande development scam? What about the Christmas Tree that was decorated with pornographic ornaments when the Clintons were still in the White House? An FBI agent reported this. What about the World Wide Travel scandal? What about Hillary’s involvement with Jim McDougal? What about David Hale and Webster Hubbell? What about the Dubai Port Deal and the Kaplan Conncection? Check out the garbage on Hillary before you complain about anyone else.

Obama is getting desperate. He is in no position to question anybody’s honesty.
He flat out lied multiple times in the debate, including his whopper about it not being his handwriting on the gun questionnaire, when it has already been proven it was. Of course, you don’t hear anything in the media about this blatant lie, but god forbid Clinton tell a “big fish” story.
Of course, the entire Obama campaign has been predicated on the falsehood that he’s run a unifying, uplifting, positive campaign when in reality, he’s been attacking Hillary and the Clinton legacy with a viciousness that would make Karl Rove blush.
Obama is a elitist snob who is full of crap. At least the debate Thursday made that clear.

Posted by: David | April 19, 2008, 7:36 pm 7:36 pm

Did the Republican party basically just kind of throw in the towel when they allowed McCain to get the nomination?

Posted by: David | April 19, 2008, 7:37 pm 7:37 pm

Obama campaign trying to resuscitate Sen.Barack Obama after the knock out punch he suffered at the Tuesday night debate. So the desperate times needs desparate measures. While telling American voters that Sen. Obama promising to “Clean Up Washington influence peddlers and lobbyists, his campaign is having a discreet fundraising in Nottinghill, London, with Rupert Murdoch family, hosted by Elizabeth Murdoch! So, I say stop drinking the cool-aid. You saw with your own eyes how Sen. Obama fumbling, looking tired, worn out. He was gasping like a fish out of water. The thought crossed your mind─ during the Tuesday night debate─ can Barack Obama be even worse than George Bush, if elected president? We all asked the question, what happened? What happened was that on Tuesday night Sen. Obama got treated like a front runner. And that’s was all. What Charley Gibson and George Stephanopoulos of ABC did was just that; and nothing else. During the course of the debate Sen. Obama appeared frazzled and weaker than ever? How can this fumbling man take on the responsibility of two raging wars, devastated economy, and a long list of gargantuan issues from education to immigration, infrastructure and transportation, health crisis, pensions and social security, energy costs and so on and on, how can he shoulder all the heavy duty rigors of the presidency and besides, you watched him in dismay that he was stretching himself even more thin, as he kept promising to cleanup Washington, while his campaign is planning a discreet fund raiser by Murdoch family and for all practical purposes he was no more or less like any other “ordinary” politician. It was tragic fall, as David Brooks of the New York Times pointed out for a man who started his campaign as a transcendent figure, but on Tuesday night we watched with utter alarm, Sen. Obama falling over the existential edge. How can you believe Sen. Obama for a moment if he doesn’t even have the stamina for a primary campaign? That question, to be honest entered many voters’ minds last Tuesday night, I am sure. Don’t be upset because of the fact Sen. Obama did not get pampered as usual and as a result he did terribly; and then again how can he withstand the Republican attacks in the fall, in such depleted condition, if he happens to be the Democratic nominee? Someone who used to treated with favors now fumbled under pressure. I suspected all along, for the most part, that most things about Sen. Obama was a construct; his talk about “Change” and “New Politics” was made up and done before, and all that was used before by Duval Patrick of Massachusetts. David Axelrod was Duval Patrick’s campaign manager too. So it appears to me all that change and hope stuff got recycled. No wonder Sen. Obama lifting Gov. Duval Patrick’s speeches word for word. So there no great surprise, if you are not true to yourself, and if you happen to project yourself to others something that you are not and something made up by your campaign staff, which is a pitfall of many experimental politicians like Sen. Obama, things can quickly unravel. The voters in most major battleground states know these facts and that’s why Sen. Obama has not even won one major state. Sen. Obama showed how vulnerable he was. If you take away all those crutches that Washington media establishment have propped him up with, when a real challenge comes, he’s going to fall down like a scarecrow in a windstorm. That’s what happened on Tuesday night. So, please, don’t change the subject, let’s talk more about how suitable Sen. Obama to be the Democratic nominee, just as it was amply demonstrated during the past debate?

mark, know that if hillary steals this nomination, that is only as far as she will go as well.

LA in Indiana, maybe you just got involved in this primary process. Remember that Obama’s donors were ready to seal their wallets if he did not go after Hillary prior to Iowa.

Obama has started to show his true colors. A major disappointment. He is no different than any other politician. At least Hillary had some solid ideas and a way to implement them. I honestly felt embarassed for Obama as he stumbled through, having to “wing it”. Not his finest moment but hopefully an eye opener for his “followers”. If he is so great why does MAYA ANGELOU support Hillary? She is an intelligent, well educated, and wise wise woman. Ask yourself why she supports Hillary.

Obama says one thing about NAFTA in public, then sends his cronies to Canada to tell the goverment, “Its just politics…wink wink, nudge nudge.”

You coolaide drinking people know Obama has accidently gotten stories messed up too. Please find something else to get on Hilary about. The Bosnia story is crap.

You think Obama is like the “Emperor with no clothes?” Let me tell you something–Hillary obviously has no clothes. Those empty pantsuits are beginning to wear thin. As you well know, sometimes Hillary’s staffers and Obama’s staffers speak out of turn. I believe this was the case regarding Obama’s staffer on the NAFTA thing in Canada. BTW-if you really want to get technical–what about the Columbia dealings and Mark Penn? Then again, Obama did not vote for NAFTA. Hillary did. Obama did not vote for the wWar. Hillary did. Obama was not a Director for the New World Foundation. Hillary was. I could continue but it is not worth it. Clinton supporters should do some more research. Obama ’08

I thought Obama was pretending to be a different kind of politician and he was going to run a different kind of campaign. I guess swiftboating Hillary is a different kind of politician. I am so sick of his hypocrisy and the media bias. Obama is outspending Hillary everywhere, going negative, and the media pundits on the liberal stations are all saying Hillary should just drop out and then they act like the race is tight because Obama is such a great candidate. The hypocrisy would be amusing if it weren’t so sickening.

Adam in Pa. I am in total agreement with you that Obama is a real danger to this Country.

I heard Obama say he lived in Kansas. From everything I can find, he never lived in Kansas. He lived in Hawaii and Indonesia and came to the mainland to go to college. Perhaps he visited his grandma in Kansas but that isn’t the same as living there. Does anyone know why this story isn’t more in the news?
Also, I heard Obama say he was a college professor, but then I heard he wasn’t a college professor, but a lecturer.
Does Obama have a problem with telling the truth? Is he like every other politican? Is he a hypocrit?

The only difference between Clinton’s attacks on Obama and Obama’s attacks on Clinton is that Obama is better at it. (Of course he has had a lot of help from the media.) Clinton’s story about Bosnia is not true — that’s a big whopper. MANY of Obama’s stories in his books are not true: either they describe incidents that happened to someone else — not to him — or they are greatly exaggerated, or they didn’t happen at all. The most disgusting part is that either Clinton or Obama would be miles better than McCain — but neither of them has a chance now. McCain will eat either of them for supper.

Same ole’ politics, no this is the truth and “You can’t handle the truth”. Now lets see how that shoe fits. Geesh…

I’m so sick & tired of Obama’s holier than thou attitude. He’s a two-timing snake who slithered on the ballot with the help of scum like Kerry/Chappaquiddick Kennedy both old time, Washington losers. They’ve invited him into their good ole boys network. Barack isn’t going to change anything at all. Old Washington has taken him under their wing, groomed & polished him as he is their poster child. They’ve written his speeches, put him on the cover of tons of magazines even before he was a US Senator. They gave him the honor of keynote speaking at the 2004 DNC to kick of his 2008 bid for president. Barry tells these kids he’s just like them, but he hangs around the richest folks in America, from media controlling billionaires like Bloomberg & Oprah to dynasties like King Kennedy to ketchup fortunes like Kerry. Enough of watching a puppet perform, let’s get a broad in charge. She’s smarter than the other two out there.

Virginia,
I agree with you.
Sound to me he disrespect of the flag pin. He does not want to wear it but don’t say something like that.
It’s not like a pin from a street market.
There was a sniper warning when Hillary was there that’s why they were transfered to the other location.

Hillary is the only one that can beat mccain. Obama does not have the supports amongst hispanics, whites, and asians, and jews.
If you vote for obama, don’t cry when bush gets his third term.

I suggest people go back and look at the 1972 McGovern/Nixon race. It was exactly the same situation. We had the unpopular Vietnam War and a deteriorating economy. There was near fanatical support by young people and yet the Democrats went onto one of its worst defeats in history. The only difference now is that McGovern seemed like a truly nice person while Obama is coming off as an increasingly arrogant and elitist individual.

the democrats in general, regarding terrorism and national security are a joke. lets face it.

The idea that Clinton told the sniper story because she was tired or that she heard about what happened some other time to some other people and accidentally superimposed those details on her memory is not a defense it is a announcement that Clinton is out of her mind and unfit for the security clearance she has now.
That point was not stressed forcfully before and they opined her opponent was too soft. So one hopes Clinton is not going to start crying again.
And regarding John McCain some of US are very confident that when it comes down to it Americans, on the left And the right, are not going to choose someone who will give away their jobs and keep them in a foolish war over someone who will fight for fair deals and bring our troops home. Period.

Thats the problem with Hillary supporters. They have to go to some foolish web site to get Obama bashing facts(lies) and believe everything Hillary says. Im sure those are 100 percent facts. Thats why no one else is reporting them.

If Rev. Wright is such a bad person and hates America so much then tell me the answer to this question:
Why did Bill Clinton invite him to the prayer breakfast when he was in the middle of his Monica crisis?
If Farakkan is so bad why did President Clinto praise his efforts for the Million Man March in D.C. Now we want to blame Obama for attending the event.
Good enough for the Clintons in the 90s not bad for the clintons in 08. What a difference an election makes.

Posted by: Just wondering | April 19, 2008, 8:58 pm 8:58 pm

its really not a foolish war if we deal with it the way that it should be dealt with. yes iraq is a mess.. we need a solution. pulling the troops out just to get out is not an option. plain and simple. anyone with plain common sense and no political experience could tell you that. its just not an option. and remember people.. they still want to attack us.. they have for a long time and will continue to do so. i dont necessarily agree with iraq, but just since we live in a throw away world here in america, dont forget.. this war, in general, is absolutely necessary. maybe not in iraq, but it is necessary. just because there hasnt been an attack on us in almost 7 years, dont forget the big picture.

Posted by: tim | April 19, 2008, 9:03 pm 9:03 pm

You know a while ago someone posts a link to a Palestinian news website citing an article about Obama. It was as if the mere existence of an article about Obama on a Palestinian website was enough to link him with Hamas. however if you actually read the article is stated clearly that Obama near made a single comment against Israel or even a comment unsupportive of Israel. Think people think. No matter where you stand, check the facts.
By the way for all those folks stuck on this lapel pin debate, you are not the sharpest pencils in the pack. If the mere presence or absence of a 2 buck pin guides your voting decision, then you are not only insufficiently intelligent to vote, you should be strongly discouraged from procreation as well.

Posted by: Keith | April 19, 2008, 9:05 pm 9:05 pm

Not surprising…in the debate he insisted he wouldn’t exploit Bosnia…It is amazing how many people are “deceived” by this total liar.
His handwriting is ignored…he never saw the position paper.
He never heard Wright.
He never meant Americans were “bitter” yes he did…no he didn’t …
Now he’s whinning that the debate wasn’t fair.
And while he’s out throwing the kitchen sink at Hillary…he’s blaming her for the “old brand of politics”
McCain 2008…I wonder if he’s organized meet-up groups yet?

Posted by: Jackie | April 19, 2008, 9:06 pm 9:06 pm

Again, Obama says one thing and does another. I thought he only mentioned Bosnia when he was asked about it…another lie. He is getting worse and worse. If Hillary is throwing the kitchen sink, he is throwing the bathtub. He makes me sick anymore, what an old school politician afterall….hypocrite!

Hey Tim,
The Democrats do not feel that national security & terrorism are joking matters. They also do not believe in misleading a country into an unjust war by bending the intelligence. This Republican led administration has done more to make our nation less safe by draining our resources in Iraq. Thousands of lives lost, a trillion dollars wasted and failure on all sides of the Middle East. Al Quieda has strengthened thanks to Republicans & more terrorist networks have formed because of America’s foolish actions.
Regardless of which DEMOCRAT* gets nominated, our country needs a DEMOCRAT to clean up after this historically horrific administration. *Hillary Clinton, first choice.

why did clinton invite rev. wright? farakkan? same reason we live in a welfare state. to pander to blacks for their vote come election time. the poor, the middle class. why do you think it really never gets alot better for those two classes?

Obama has the nerve to say that Hilliary tells people only what they want to hear. He’s been doing that from day one and adding a flashy smile to top it off. Check out Obama’s voting record, he said his Pastor Rev. Wright is retired now. Maybe Rev. Wright is retired from the church but in their church website it states that Rev. Wright is on the radio Sunday mornings with a sermon. That’s not retired in my book. The media has been easy on him for months. ABC debate finally put some heat on him…and now he’s squawking. Obama has too many skeletons in his closet that we don’t have all the facts on. Remember..if he becomes president Rev. Wright will be dining in the White House and continuing to be his spiritual advisor. That’s scary to think about. The possible President of the United States listening to the advise of Rev. Wright. Think, think, don’t just be charmed by his smile.

I am for Obama but I am so tired of the BS on both sides I would vote for Macain. However I do not want our beloved men and women to keep dying in a war that was started on lies and greed. But atleast Macain is talking about whats important on real issues. He must be loving this. I know one thing for sure. If Obama does not win then I will not vote for this upcoming president.

What about real issues, like your connections to Hamas and the PLO? What about Obama’s connections to Rezko and Auchi and Amsallaere?

I would think Obama would be going after Clinton over anything after the disclosure to so many blind people of his Bill Ayers & wife association. Let’s see? Ayers, Rezko, whines about just paying off student loan although a multi-millionaire that lives in a 1.65 million dollar home, Rev. Wright that curses from the pulpit and and demonizes whites and this country while preparing to move into a 10,000 square foot home with a credit line at the bank of $10 million dollars provided by his church. The church where they stand and cheer him for his attacks and you can see assistant ministers high-fiving behind him in the videos they shop on their website.
If Pennsylvania and those super delegates in the democratic party want Obama good luck with what you get…most of the super delegates just want onto a winning team so they can keep their jobs come election time since most of them are in Congress and will need votes to keep their high-paying jobs with great insurance and other benefits. Best government money can buy and with Obama it’ll be worse.

boggling.Discussing the issues at hand and attending to the needy is more important than a flag pin. My dear fellow humans.I am saddened that in present day USA the land of the so called free and champions of the human race that we are so quick to be judgmental and callous towards one another.Are we not as a rudderless ship that is tossed to and fro by cleverly divisive people.Are we not as a people that fail to say we are sorry for centuries of hate born upon the less fortunate especially upon people who were abused by the so called righteous right.Why are we afraid of a man who promises to gather people of all races and cultures so that we may heal the deep seated issues of race–of greed—of abuse—of disrespect for the nations of the world—the lies of George Bush and his cronies –the lies of the old establishment. I cannot equate Obama to Nelson Mandela in all respects but I do see a similarity between the two—
-a man of courage—wisdom–forgiving—PATIENCE–kindness–the atributes of a leader.

Many thanks to ABC for having the courage to point out that the “would-be king has no clothes.” He was very displeased with you commoners. I had defected from ABC Nightly News to NBC. I will now reconsider my decision.

Obama is con-artist with no experience and far left views. And he is embarassed by his country’s flag. But outside of that he is a great candidate. Hillary may be ethically challenged but she probably starts with a base of states close to what Kerry and Gore carried. Obama will be slaughtered in the electoral college, winning maybe 14 states.

Obama is way to go for couple of reasons. First is foreign policy which is withdrawing the troops from Iraq in 13 months and renegotioting with China’s leaders regarding our trade deals and try to stay ever closer to European Union and the rest of the Europe which makes America more accible in terms productions, sharing information, and inovations. Secondly Creating jobs by investing seriously into renewable and green energy, which is because of lack of political interests this crucial investment to us and our planet, now is very limited and almost a dream. Thirdly his tax cut for the Americans who earns less and more for people who are doing well; no truma. Forthly changing the culture in Washington which means replacing the old lubby-people policies to people-people policy.
That’s why I will vote for Obama for 08 if I could.

Posted by: sady | April 19, 2008, 11:03 pm 11:03 pm

The bedrock of Obama’s campaign is that he claims he is different. Yet, his current negative actions prove he is your average, run-of-the-mill politician going negative to win votes. Now we can clearly see that Barack is just like all the others, except with less experience.

Senator Barack Obama “the hypocrite”. This “man” says one thing and does another constantly. Case in point, he claims that he represents the “politics of change” – yet just today, he presented his version of what amounts to a swift boat attack on Senator Hillary Clinton! He ALSO supports NAFTA but tells voters he opposes it. Obama is the worst type of politician – the kind that TELLS you he is NOT a typical politician and then, ATTACKS! Just how dumb does he think American voters are I ask.

Posted by: PhillyPaul | April 19, 2008, 11:15 pm 11:15 pm

I guess he is not a new kind of politician afterall. HE is the worse kind – talking out of both sides of his mouth. Hillary apologized for the Bosnia story. BO has not yet apologized to a large group Americans about his “bitter,Clinging” comments. His flipping her off in NC speech was a classy as his rev. Wright Humping the podium when referencing Bill Clinton. Classy! I think he is awful. GO McCain 08.

Alleged Hillary supporters are already McCain’s voters–they are pretending as DEMs in fact they are GOPs.

Seriously? Terrorist ties and capital gains taxes?
Gee, which was more important to your decision? Marginal tax rates on investment income or the belief that Obama is secretly Al Qaeda’s number one operative in America.
Do you think he’ll put on a flag pin to signal that it’s time to take over America, or just increase marginal tax rates on investment income?
How does that capital gains tax fit into Al Qaeda’s sinister schemes, anyway?

LOL I love how Obama said during the debate the other night that he had never brought up Bosnia during this campaign and then Gibson said “well your campaign has” and he studderd and said “Um, of course….but we were asked about it.” But that same answer wasn’t good enough when Hillary gave it about Wright. Obama’s campaign has called Hillary everything from a “racist” to a “liar” and says he is a new kind of politics? and the media are to blame. They let him deceive people for months. Thank god for Charles and George.

Who on earth would react like that to a national U.S Tragedy?
There is something SICK about Obama and the people he associates with like Minister Farrakhan and Rev. Wright. They both are STRONGLY against America, except when someone they support is elected. We had better be certain that we are not electing a maniac like Obama who’s financial backbones are people like this.

It is about making up things and telling us to beleive it. Just like Bush about Iraq and just like Clinton about not having sex with that woman.

Obamas Best Friends are like a file cabinet in the CIA, radicals, criminals,American Government haters, terrorist, and Muslim supporters. (rezko,wright,Ayers,siad,farakam,auchi etc)
Those were the people who got him from Chicago to here. The one who worked so hard for him, got him financing, helped him rise to the top, Those he will never forget, Those he owes everything to.
Some people want to Put Obama and his friends where they have all the top secret information on this country.
With Friends like that, No wonder he won’t show any outward sign of tradition support for the country.
Does he not believe, Is he ashamed, will it embarrass or harm him. Why does he Flatly refuse to give more than words?
If you take away his speeches he has nothing.
Makes me think he is gonna take the country to the cleaners!

John K:
I agree with you that wearing an American flag pin is not a big issue. However, NOT wearing one HAS become a big issue for Obama because people do not feel he is patriotic.
Especially when voters have witnessed his wife say comments which imply that she isn’t proud of America, Obama has been photographed not showing respect for the Pledge of Allegiance by failing to put his hand on his heart, his pastor for the past 20 years has publicly stated God Da** America and feels the US white supremists have infected African Americans with AIDS, he serves on boards with known terrorists who have bombed governmental buildings with little remorse.
Obama made not wearing the American flag pin an issue. Some folks doubt his patriotism given what they’ve seen. If he wins the nomination, Obama will be running against a war hero who was willing to die for his country. Having voters doubt your patriotism isn’t an enviable place to be if your running for Commander in Chief of the United States of America.

Posted by: Boyd W. | April 19, 2008, 11:39 pm 11:39 pm

It’s about time Obama began to fight back. You can’t continue to stay above the fray when you’ve got not only the gang of clintons backed up by tne McCain mob trying to beat your brains out. I think he needs to get a lot tougher. Talk about the Peter Paul trial coming up, talk more about Clinton’s pardoning of two members of the weathermen underground as well as FALN members. Talk about how she feels’ by her own words’ about the democratic grass roots movement. Just because they (the Clintons) have gotten away with murder once doesn’t mean they should be allowed to continue to.

Actually, people are tired of the back and forth bashing with both Democrats. Obama should be the gentleman and move away from attacking Hillary on non-issues altogether. And if her camp decides to continue with the attacks he should tell him, “My mother taught me to always respect a lady.” And leave it at that.

Just because she slept in the White house, does not make her capable of running the country or making decisions. She complains that Obama has not been tested, how about the kid gloves with which she has been handled. There are a lot of skeletons, that could have been brought up over and over. But no new group seems to want to touch those……
Seems to me she is, has shown that she is very capable of lying, but no news agency wants to call it like it is and just come out and say she is a liar….

Posted by: ruby | April 19, 2008, 11:53 pm 11:53 pm

Obama and Clinton both have lied, as well as every other politician in Washington. But honestly people, can we trust Obama on his loyalty to America when he joins a church that requires you make a non-negotiable commitment to Africa? His pastor dares to utter G D America! He associates with known, admitted terrorists! THINK about these statements. I have not said one thing that isn’t true. Isn’t this worse than HRC’s Bosnia lie? I think it is.

Hey Obama, Hillary already apologized for the sniper fire story during the debate! Did you forget? Probably you are still so shell shocked from having to actually answer a substantive question at the debate, without the benefit of saying “I agree with what Hillary just said”, that you can’t remember. Didn’t you say you wanted to talk about “real” issues? Okay, HILLARY APOLOGIZED! Where is the unity, the hope, the feel good love fest? Let’s talk about Rezko and Auchi, Khalidi, Said, Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan, Hamas, your pro-palestinian views, these are much more interesting than sniper fire…

How desperate can you get? Hillary Clinton has served for 5 years on the Senate Armed Forces Committee, and has 35 generals and admirals backing her, including Wes Clark, former Allied Supreme Commander of NATO. Obama’s campaign has already backed away from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier comment, that’s how bad this one is for them. Desperation politics on top of a horrible debate performance, on top of flipping Hillary the bird the next day in a speech in North Carolina.

Here is a comment I saw, and just had to copy it here. It is exactly as I saw it as well. Hillary blatently lied and wants no one to notice. She actually got what she wanted, as no real media attention was given to the stealthy way she confessed.
“What was the biggest lie at the Clinton-Obama debate?
On the subject of the debate and lies, didn’t Hillary Clinton say she lied about the sniper fire in Bosnia?
From the transcript:
Well, Tom, I can tell you that I may be a lot of things. But I’m not dumb. And I wrote about going to Bosnia in my book in 2004. I laid it all out there. And you’re right. On a couple of occasions in the last weeks, I just said some things that weren’t in keeping with what I knew to be the case and what I had written about in my book…. [I]t just didn’t jive with what I had written about and knew to be the truth.
I just said some things that weren’t in keeping with what I knew to be the case. That’s the definition of lying.
And I love the “I’m not dumb” part. Take note of this strategy for getting Hillary to confess to lying. Corner her with 2 options: either you’re stupid or you’re a liar. I’m a liar, dammit! Don’t call me dumb!”

As some might recall, Al Gore was unpopular because he was not charming, did not smile–he looked like a strict professor!–no personality, whatsoever! Now, some people even want him to run!
WAKE-UP, PEOPLE: the serious ones are focused people. They are hard workers and are doers. To be President of this great nation, one has to be–this is serious business!!! Senator Clinton is not only all of that, she is, also, strong, tenacious, a leader, and a fighter!

Hillary’s embellished Bosnia is equal to Barack’s premature Kennedy connection (his dad’s airlift) plus also premature Selma conception. Give it up. A few bullets or years less or more.

This country is not about a flag pin; it’s not about a flag; it is about a citizens right to burn that flag in protest. Anyone who thinks wearing a flag pin makes them patriotic is sick. It’s like a baby that cries, not because it’s hurts, but because it wants others to think it hurts. This country is about the right of a person to get up and put forth an opinion that others might totally disagree with, and you have the right to protest it . That is what America is about, that is what we should celebrate. Our military fights for our Constitutional right to burn that flag if we wish. It’s called freedom of speech. The right to express ourselves any way we wish.

Obama talks about Washington politics. Obama may not know this, but he is a Washington politician. The sad part, he has the worst attendance record of any senator in medern history. If he had a job in the private sector, he would be fired. Obama actually accepts his paycheck for NOT coming to work. Obama is a real “work-of-art”.

I would rather turn on T.V. for the

and CNN continue to play the standing ovation? Something is desperatly wrong
if Americans vote another Clinton in America. It would be very wrong. The veterans and Soldiers want Obama!!!!I DON’T CARE!! I don’t care if he talked to Ayers and Ferrakan, I don’t
care. I don’t care if they come up with
more. Nothing can make me vote for Hillary, the liar of McCain. NOTHING

Its hard for me to imagine her in the same office that her husband was getting his woody worked on signing important documents that are critical to the country. Something is just not right with that picture. Unfortunatly America is too Archie Bunkerish even moreso after reading the blogs here. Too bad somebody that’s been actually involved working with people of different religon and color gets so blasted by people. Everyone worries about Obama having no foreign policy experience has forgotten that George W. Bush didnt have any either. Too bad we have been in war for a 1/4 of my life.

PeoplePersonforBarrack: You sound like a true follower of Obama and his church. By the way, if every group that had hatred directed at it from Obama’s church left this country, we would no longer have Whites, Jews, Italians or Hispanics.

Black churches do not have hate against America!
I have been a member of a baptist church for many years and I have never heard one world like Wright’s comments my entire attend!
Mr. Obama should have left the church!
He still is a member! He is insulting the blacks!
I am voting for Hillary in NC because I don’t belive Barrack can win the GE anymore!

I am a bit tired of all the complaints about Hillary being a liar. Her life has been public for years and years and yes there are things she said that were not entirely true.
But the same applies to Barack Obama, who has been a public figure much less time than she has.
Obama lie: “I will not raise taxes on people who make less than $200,000 a year. Oh yes you will. You want to remove the cap on Social Security taxes, so any one making more than $98,000 will have a big time tax increase.
Another Obama lie: “I did not fill out this gun control questionnaire. It was an error made by a staffer”. LIE! It was your hand-writing, Obama.
In my book these two lies are much worse than Hillary’s Bosnia fib.
In any case, if Hillary is a liar, well Obama is a LIAR as well.

The longer it takes for any state to go to the polls, the more they learn about Obama, and the more supporters he gains. He will make McCain’s run look like Mondales run against popular Reagan in 1984. MCCain will only win in Arizona. You watch.

Obama is set to loose by double digits!
I will see you all by Tuesday here at this blog!
If American people would have known about Obama’s church and his pastor , they would not voted for him at 28 states!
This will be the first test for Obama and he will loose big time!
After PA, if Hill wins by double digits, I think that black voters should consider to vote for Hillary in NC!
Or Democrats can simply write off this election in November!

The sad thing about the Obama lies concerning Reverend Wright is that in their haste to excuse Obama’s presence in that church for so many years, black commentatorss on TV painted all black churches with the same brush, commenting that Trinity is a typical black church, and white folks just don’t understand black churches. How sad for the many black churches who preach the gospel of love and forgiveness and God’s mercy. I believe that history will show that Barrack Obama and his campaign have set back race relations in this country at least 50 years. And he has ruined it for the many honorable black politicians who will come after him. How sad.

DEMOCRATS FOR MCCAIN!
JOIN US AND LET OBAMA KNOW WHAT YOU THINK IN NOVEMBER!!!
First of all, we hope Clinton will win. However, things don’t look good and if she loses, do any of you Clinton supporters think you can vote for Obama? Of course not. Just read what he said in this article. Then read the vitriolic nonsense his supporters are saying to you.
Could you ever join these Obama supporters? NO!!!!!!
See how smug they are in November when their Messiah goes down in flames. He will be finished and Hillary will be free to run in 2012 when McCain retires.

Posted by: LAGuy | April 20, 2008, 3:04 am 3:04 am

For seven solid days from April 11th to April 18th Hillary ran a steady stream of vitriolic attack against Obama about what he said “behind closed doors”. On the 18th we all found out that she said some pretty stupid stuff behind closed doors herself. In the middle of that she and her two ABC thugs did a vicious gang beating in the debate—the actual timing was 4 minutes of beat on Obama to 1 minute of asking Clinton the tough questions. She goes vicious all the time, but she screams foul if anybody tells a truth about her. One of the basic things America believes in is the right to defend oneself when attacked. It didn’t have to be this way Hill. You went nasty in Ohio and told some lies and it seemed to work for you. Since then people found out more about your lies and they’ve become sickened with your negativity. People don’t like or trust you or believe you anymore. You can’t go for somebody’s eyeballs for eight days and on the ninth try to play the victim because you get a little of your own back. Try crying. That fooled New Hampshire. That was about the last time we saw your soft, caring side.

Ironic that the Clinton campaign staff, such that it is (high school amateurs at best), has publicly called Obama’s campaign negative. This is as laughable as Clinton’s leadership qualities. She has no chance; smart people know better. I am still amazed she has gotten this far which is a testament to the gullibility of some Americans.

Why is it improper to point out your opponent’s lies and distortions? Improper to answer attacks waged by your opponent? Improper to point out your opponent’s lack of character?

Very amusing. Guess it isn’t dishonorable to defend a minister who gives a sermon on condemning America. Wonder who gets to pick what is or is not dishonorable? Politicians are all the same, Obama is not the exception as many think he is and he is about change as much as anyone on the street. Toss a coin, close your eyes, and vote for somebody on the ballot. They are all the same and it is going to be business as usual no matter who wins the Office of POTUS.

So Mister Obama look what you have wrought on this nation…..a division so enormous within your own party that fellow Americans spew hatred for one another. This is just a taste of what’s to come, IF you can get elected. Tell us how you plan to get elected in the general election with only half of the democratic voters? The venom being spewed on this blog has alienated so many voters, it now becomes obvious the democratic party will lose the election. This is NOT what I had “Hoped” for. You have NOT won any big states and yet you still think with your smugness that you can win over the people that you have labeled bitter. Well I can tell you this is one proud American that will NEVER vote for you.

They have to attack Hillary. Their guy disses Small-Town America, has a reverend friend who spews his venom at America, and associates with very questionable people. He has no experience and no record of accomplishment. Charlie Gibson exposed him as an empty bag of wind. So, their guy is devoid of substance and what is left is to play in the gutter. You should not be surprised.

I wish they both could talk about issues but the sad fact is that in this Jerry Springer America, when you don’t get dirty, you’re “not tough enough” and when you do, you’re “politics as usual.” I will say that he is following the Clinton strategy. The “it’s an honor to be on stage with you” talk until the weekend before the primary when it becomes “shame on you” attacks. And again, this type of sniping seems to work.

Actually it is the place wher general marshall was born and raised, french and indian war started, etc. The local rag is a radical leftwing democratic publication. today one of their editoral writers wrote that “John McCain was at Mt. Macrina lap dancing.” Mt.Macrina is habited by catholic nuns who have a large facility that ministers to alzhiemers patients. Now they are saying that McCain is lapdanding with the nuns.

Many thanks to Charlie Gibson for having the courage to disrobe Obama as the empty and devoid of substance. How can any American vote for someone who cannot define himself for this important office. We know his negatives: Diss Small-Town America, a reverend who vents his rage at America, and associations with questionable people. And, he is afraid to debate. Can you imagine? Running for president and he refuses to debate and define himself. This itself raises questions that ought to be brought up at the next debate.

Posted by: benvictor | April 20, 2008, 8:47 am 8:47 am

TO: rockychance –
I am in my right mind & I am fully supporting Hillary Clinton.
If you believe that Obama has been a Boy Scout regarding his resume you haven’t been paying attention. His lies are scattered throughout his books, from his conception after his parents hooked up at a Selma Civil Rights Rally to his father coming to our great county thanks to a scholarship from JFK. It’s all untrue.
His lies about NAFTAGATE/REZKO are far more outrageous than anything that Hillary has said. He betrayed Ohio voters by saying he is ANTI-NAFTA while telling the Canadians he is PRO-NAFTA. He denied his close association with Rezko for a year and half. He actually received over $250,000 from this indicted realtor and even had a personal escort from the man when he was touring his expansion property.
Be brave enough to learn about the truth of Obama that the paper sticks on the back page in fine print. Obama has quite an imagination, indeed!
The propaganda from the Obama campaign is false regarding Hillary’s Universal Health Care Program. Obama’s smear soldiers have spread it out to confuse voters. Looks like it worked!

Posted by: Carlos | April 20, 2008, 8:56 am 8:56 am

Bitter, Bitter, Call him wimp when he didn’t take the bait in PA. He could have jumped all over her then, but chose not to. Hillary however was delighted to slam him, she didn’t have the guts to fire back at George and Charlie, no she was just delighted.
Go Obama08.
—————————–.
This is Obama’s MO. He hangs back, sends his goons out to attack then claims that he participates in a better type of politics. He is no different and he is not a uniter. How can a person that decides to participate in a black separatist BRANCH of a mostly white church be a uniter?
Keep in mind that Obama told everyone that his church is 90% white, but failed to tell you his BRANCH of the church is 90-100% black and adheres to black theology and selected black racist, Louis Farrakhan to be their man of the year. For you college students you might be interested to know that Obama’s Rev thought that Natalie Holloway was a bi–h and a wh–e and should not have received so much news.

Any flag pins worn by McCain, Clinton, Gibson or Stephanopolous the other day? Before you criticize Obama for not wearing a pin – look at footage over the past few months and you will see that most if not all of the candidates including McBush hasn’t worn one either.

So you thnk Obama can be trusted? HIs “frends” were the ones who did the bombing, his friends who belonged to the Black Panthers, his friends Rizo etc. whom he says he was only 8 years old at the time…now that’s a whopper considering he was not so long ago siill associated with them in a “friend” sort of way. Jeremiah Wright who out and out hates America. His muslim parent and step-parent. He was just as influenced by them as he, his children and wife are by Wrights teachings for 20 years. Now, what do you think the Republicans will do with these. Not sit on them and be polite. HC’s has been in the public for years to scrutinize. Obama hasn’t. Now there is the chance for swift boating Obama. Better wake up and smell the coffee (not roses) folks. We are setting ourselves up for 4 more years of Republicans again. Think about it.

How can Obama lose with the whine and cheese crowd in his corner: Jack Cafferty, Lou Dobbs, Keith Olbermann, Bryan Williams, Chris Matthews, New York Times, and five out of six media darlings in his corner? Regardless of what he says he is guaranteed good press.
Despite hurricane winds at his back, Obama just might lose if the public begins to realize that change is an empty slogan. Obama’s mantra of change is almost identical to what Huey Long tried in Louisiana back in the 1930s: Soak the rich and every man is a king.
Obama has to worry about his utopian message. Vote for me and I will give you utopia. This is hogwash. What the public has to worry about is that Obama’s mentors are coming home to roost.

Posted by: Lance | April 20, 2008, 10:05 am 10:05 am

And all Obama seems to be able to do is dance around the controversial subjects brought up. First he was never there when Rev. Wright gave the sermons, then in his speach he said he was. He just cannot handle heat of any form. The only thing he is good at is causing more doubt of his electibilty. He also does a really good job at pulling the wool over peoples eyes.

What is our main goal ??
Beat McCain…well with all this inner fighting we are looking pretty weak.
Remember either candidates is better than another 4 years of Republicans.
Get it together Dems!!

Obama, having been raised by a white mother and surrounded by predominately white family all of his life, living in other countries, doesn’t quite understand how prevalent and nasty racism, bigotry and intolerance still remains a powerful force in America. When he spar with Hillary, many Americans don’t view that as one candidate having a difference of opinion from another. They see that as a black man attacking a white woman.

Hillary already APOLOGIZED for the stupid sniper story from 20 years ago during the debate! Obama didn’t notice because he was too busy ducking and dodging and lying in his answers to the questions. Obama is back to his negative diversion tactics – do not ask him about Rezko helping him buy his Chicago mansion with Auchi’s Iraq oil for food scandal money, transferred to Rezko from SYRIA, home of HAMAS!!! Do not ask Obama about his relationship with Ayers, or Khalidi, or Said, because it is much more important to bring up something that Hillary has already APOLOGIZED for! Obama said he wants to talk about serious issues – so Obama should address his pro-palestinian and pro-Hamas views and his support of Jimmy Carter who is now in SYRIA talking with the leaders of Hamas, and accomplishing nothing, other than making the United States look foolish! Hey Obama, do the Jay Z dance again and brush the dirt off your shoulders and give Hillary the finger again, that was all very presidential of you!

HILLARY LIES UNASHAMEDLY AND CACKLES ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE–ITS CALLED POLITICS

Posted by: ameridiot | April 20, 2008, 11:34 am 11:34 am

Obama is a liar and hypocrite whose relentless attacks on Hillary Clinton are disgusting. He is a phony, and the media had better stop swooning over him and start vetting him more thoroughly…it scares me that this type of individual could become President….I will devote every minute and dollar that I can to John McCain if he becomes the nominee….Obama’s crap about “hope and change” are nothing but a political hype and people just fall for it because that is what they want, not that they are looking at the man to see whether he can effect these changes.

When the American people think of someone raised by a single mother on food stamps, I don’t think the image they have in mind is of a woman working on her Ph.D., who leaves her son with her mother, the VP of a large bank.

Reading the contributions already made, I sense so much hatred that it is scary. Supporters on both sides calm down. All this hate will not be of benefit to anyone. Obama is no terrorist and Hillary is no compulsive liar. The two are not perfect -no one is, but they are worthy candidates for the Presidency and americans should be proud.

The facts about Obama cannot be denied. Yet, Obama supporters refuse to put it all together, and see how his history and associations will destroy this country.
The democratic party (DNC)supports him; so, in conclusion, we must now believe that the Democratic Party is steeped in their own associations with hate mongers, criminals, islam radicals. The DNC fully supports Rev. Wright, Black Panthers, Rezko, Auchi, and Obama’s radical beliefs.
This is the clear truth I have come to after much disbelief that the DNC could be so blind to Obama’s problems. Folks they are not blind – they believe what he does – that is why Dean, Kennedy, Kerry, etc. are supporting him
GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY FROM THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE, SUPERDELEGATES, DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!!

You would think Kerry would advise Obama against swift-boating Hillary. John did not like it when done to him, and he ought to be disgusted with Obama swift-boating Hillary. Enough already.

I just want to thank ABC for providing unlimited space for your readers comments as others do not.
I think the battles between Clinton & Obama are good – It gives the open-minded and intelligent of us the opportunity to see all sides of the candidates.
I don’t like however, when the Media tries to Manipulate the Public as they have done since the beginning of 2007 as they killed off one candidate at a time by not giving them press coverage.
It has been so surprising to see the Media fall in love with Obama and not be able to see how he has been manipulating them and everyone he needs to get to where he wants to be.
Maybe the Media types have never been in sales? The close talking, touching, eyes open and faked vulnerability are all used to control someone’s desire to believe you and to do what you want them to do.
It’s called closing the sale. It’s used by men to get women in bed, politicians to get votes and salesmen to get sales. Guess the Media isn’t as smart as they think. If you had all done your jobs properly, nvestigated this guy and pinned him down from the very beginning to answer the questions posed to him in detail – we would be looking at a real election. This is just a joke.
It’s the koolaide drinkers against the non-koolaide drinkers. Hillary is no saint – we know just who she is. We know her lies, political maneuvering, and changing views. It is too bad that the Barack supporters just can’t plain see. But, the Hillary supporters can.
That is why we will vote for John McCain if Barack wins. We see each candidate, who they are, what they have done and what they will likely do. We are not voting for our ideal candidates. We are voting for the lesser of three evils.
The International Community will never buy Barack’s BS. But, then what do I know? I’m just a “typical white person”!

Lot of sore losers on here. Clinton lost the race months ago. She hangs on like a narcissist who doesn’t know when to quit honorably. She’s the one dividing the party by hanging around. Have you forgotten we’re on the same side? Or do you really want to vote for OLD man McCain who doesn’t care about our country’s economy and wants endless war just to spite a perfectly good Democrat candidate. Wow that just reeks of immaturity. You all in high school or something?

Posted by: Scott | April 20, 2008, 12:28 pm 12:28 pm

I am an economist PHD and Obama’s economic plan sucks!he doesn’t understand math obviously!
He will double the capital gains tax and as of today, 85% of Americans try to sell their homes!!!
Mccain is better than Obama will double the capital gains tax to 28%!
that is why he does not understand the math!
GO HILLARY!

Posted by: Helen, | April 20, 2008, 12:34 pm 12:34 pm

Obama is green who plays the black card to prove to the world, yeah I’m the one who will make change. You Obama supporters need to wake up…Do not compare him to President John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King…you are all a disgrace when you do. President Kennedy loved all Americans and brought hope to us all…Martin Luther King loved all Americans and brought hope to us all no matter what color or race we were. These two men are very far from what Obama is today. He doesn’t love all Americans (can’t even hold his hand over his heart which is an American tradition and love for country-example..watch the Olympics)…he is just trying to prove that he can be the first black guy who has no experience in politics to win the White House. He is toying with us all. Shame on you Obama and all the black radicals who instead of trying to bring all people together, you are doing the total opposite of what Martin Luther King’s message to all Americans. You detached yourselves and think someone owe’s you something. Use Obama as an example…if he got a good education…what is all your excuses? Yes Obama seems to be a nice guy but is he really the person to lead our country? No…the debates prove how weak he is. He can’t handle the questions or the pressure. He is not the one. Senator Hillary Clinton is the one who will save America. She is smart, very experienced and many are afraid because she is a woman. If she were a man, we all know we would not be having these comments. Many are very hard on her and yet she can answer the questions in a debate with assurance and complete confidence. As much as we critize our past leaders…we still are America. Obama will only separate us even more. Hillary will hold us together.

You can tell a lot about a person by the company he keeps. Analyzing Obama’s acquaintances seem to indicate a definite trend.

Posted by: S | April 20, 2008, 1:18 pm 1:18 pm

Confused,
Very interesting analysis. Reading back over the messages of hate, it seems fear IS the prime motivator. Someone earlier said we were at was with Radical Islam. We actually aren’t at war with any religion. Please try to remember that all religions including atheism, satanism and yes, even islam is supported by our constitution. In other words, it’s a private matter. Like staying with your husband after he cheats is actually a private matter, and who you do or don’t have sexual relations with is private. I think back to the New York case and when the governor that replaced Spitzer started spilling his guts. Man, talk about TMI.
it really struck me then though, how crazy the 24 hour news cycle has made us. We have to obsess about all this weird stuff because it’s the only new info the cable news networks can dig up and they know talking smack will improve ratings. Why do they always have a pro-Clinton and a pro-Obama face off? Why can’t they just have undecideds discuss pros and cons calmly like the CBC does. Sigh

If anybody out there has a notion of the bebate on ABC can you please let me know because I was really pumped up all day to come home and watch a debae that never happened, and it made me very angry not at the questions asked, but at the questions not asked. This was a very important moment for my decision as to who I was voting for. I thought it was very irresponsible of George and Mr. Gibson to conduct themselves as if they were tabloid reporters. Again this is not about defending senator Obama or Clinton, this is about information that I thought I would be able to get on these two candidates that I feel I did not. Yes it was an attack and why not? It is obvious that George and Gibson had only their own agenda in mind, and not that of the people who at one time respected them. I will never again watch George on Sunday mornings nor Gibson in the evening news, not that it matters much to them. And by the way George good job bringing to the show this sunday morning people that you know would not contradict you. It did not work.

Her lying about the Bosnia sniper fire was deplorable, especially since she knew Chelsea was there with her. Refusing to accept that she was caught in such a huge lie was unbelievable, but LAUGHING ABOUT IT ON JAY LENO WAS DISPICABLE. Then ole Billy Boy had to jump in and lie on top of all the other lies. That is all the Clintons know how to do.
That woman is OWED NOTHING by this country much less the right to be our Commander-in-Chief.
If Obama’s campaign wants to make a little fuss about what she did to herself, more power to him. Goodness knows he has stayed quiet long enough.

For those who follow polls closely:
Did you know that political polls survey buy telephone (with the exception of the Yahoo poll, which also began by telephone and gave free internet to participants)? This means that an entire generation – the generation that has been inspired most by Obama – is not accounted for in the numbers you quote like scripture? That’s right. My generation no longer uses landlines. Get ready for President Obama.

Michael, the choice is clear who we want answering the phone at 3AM. It’s just not the person who tells lies and chocks them up to mispeak. It is also not the person who can’t remember what she did first so she has no shame when she criticizes someone else for doing the very same thing.
Looks like the choice is clearly Obama all the way!!!!!!

Posted by: Clear headed | April 21, 2008, 2:33 am 2:33 am

As usual the Clintons and their supporters want it both ways. Anything to win. They accuse Obama of not being strong enough to address / handle negative attacks. Then, when he does, they attack him for using negative attacks in his own defense.
Perhaps if the Clinton’s hadn’t started it, we wouldn’t be here. Bill killed the Democrats chances in 2000 and Hillary is trying to do the same in 2008. Nadar has nothing on them.
Desperation at its height!

Posted by: Alert | April 21, 2008, 2:40 am 2:40 am

You attack Obama using guilt by association. I remember a man named McCarthy who did that.
Your need to equate Obama with Muslims when it is a known fact that he is a Christian, and your need to attack him for not choosing to wear a flag pin says more about you than about him.
Since when does wearing a flag pin make one patriotic? I guess a flag pin must become a mandatory accessory to be worn by all Americans — Failure to do so must be looked on as treason, punishable by death.

Hillery looks you right in the eye and lies to your face. Bill looked us all in the eyes and lied to our face. Hillory has learned the lesson well from Bill. They think the american people are too stupid to know any better and when you question either one of whether what they just said to us is a lie, they respond the same and state, “Well is depends on what “Is” is”. I don’t know Obama worth a damn but we had 8 years to stare at Bill and wondered whether he was lying to us at any time or not. This woman stood by him while he lied to us and she knew it then. Now she looks you straight in the eye and says whatever you want to hear. We paid a hell of a price the last 8 years for getting Bill out of the White House. The thought of having one or both of them back in there laughing themselves stupid at our ignorance or stupidity makes me nuts. Imagine the glances they exchange wonder whether we get it or not. I am not usually a person who desires the lesser of evils but I don’t think we have a choice anymore.

Posted by: Michael Hall | April 21, 2008, 5:02 am 5:02 am

This wasn’t a “misstatement”. This was a lie. A misstatement would occur if you had intended to say one thing and said another instead. The sniper fire story was a repeated intentional knowing misrepresentation of facts. What Clinton did her was to ‘lie’ plain and simple. If there is a “misstatement” it is her characterizing a blantant lie as a “misstatement”. But since this is also obviously intentional, calling it a “misstatement” is simply another lie.
If you are going to admit telling a falsehood, especially one that you have repeated 4 times publically, you should simply do it fully and end it. Her inability to do this indicates that she has some image of herself that does not comport with reality. Sort of like George Bush and the WMD’s and the “Mission Accomplished” and sort of like her husband and his proclivity for sexual encounters with White House interns.

There is nothing like going negative to prove that you aren’t telling the truth about going negative. I didn’t think he approved of this type of campaigning. He must not be as far ahead as we are lead to believe by the Obama press corps.
This is a lot like the untruth of lobby money and not taking it except, lobbyists work for “FREE” in his campaign. No, that’s not taking lobbyist money or giving unlimited access. Only in his world.

You insult intelligent, honest older voters with your remarks. If they will not vote for Obama, it is because he is not their choice. Me personally, being an older voter, will not vote for Obama because he is not honest when he claims that he does not take money from the oil companies (when in fact no candidate does or can), when he lies about his not knowing about Rev. Wrights’s sermons, when he lies about his relationship with Tony REZKO. I do not like his health plan because it does not go far enough, and too many people will not be insured. He does not handle pressure well, as evidenced by his performance in last week’s debate.

Posted by: svsolis | April 21, 2008, 10:17 am 10:17 am

What is happening in the Rezko trial lately? That seems to be a more important issue than a mispeak on the Bosnia post landing. Obama must believe that if he diverts attention from his close relationship with Rezko by making fun of Hillary, he can lull the voters. It is amazing how much scrutiny he has been allowed to escape. It is incredulous that he and his wife do not remember a party at Rezko’s house in honor of Auchi. They have played down the closeness of their relationship with the house deal and their spending time with Rezko and his wife at the Rezko vacation home on the lake in Wisconsin. When will the voters see through all of his double-talk? He is not who he says he is. Rev. Wright as his 20-year mentor, a 17-year relationship with his fundraiser Rezko, and his claim of being able to unite people by denigrating the many who have contributed greatly to this country are all areas of double-talk. Who is he going to change in Washington? Kennedy, Kerry, Leahy, Richardson, Mitch McConnell, who? He must think that the Presidency operates like a Kingdom. He forgets the diversity of Congress. He is green.

Obama was not raised a Muslim. What other citizenship was he suppose to take advantage of? How dare he use his citizenship to obtain a high-quality education, a value obviously pasted on by his parents and grandparents. Does his mother re-marrying and moving to Indonesia when he was but a baby, make him a non-American citizen? His coming back to his home town was also a decision of his parents (he was still a kid)! You try to say these times in his life should be questionable to the American people? I see why you and the Clintons see eye-to-eye. As far as Hillary having family values, is this the same woman who said “she doesn’t have time for baking cookies”? The same woman who’s child needed permission to take medicine and told school officials to “call my father the president, my mother is too busy”. Hillary sticking by her man? She used private investigators to scare numerous women, that her husband took advantage of into silence. This had nothing to do with the Republicans! I can’t believe you don’t know this! If you or any woman is for empowering women, how could you EVER support this MONSTER? And these are her best qualities.
I could go on, but I got to go!
To be continued…

What is interesting to me is that over the course of the election I have looked at all of the canidates and at no time has ANY of them worn flag pins all of the time. Even at the debate George S. & Charlie Gibson did not have on a flag pin. I have not heard the issue being raised with any of the other canidates. The whole patriotic issue is a joke. I have even seen the VERY patriotic John McCain on a number of occasions with out his flag pin. Talking about double standards !!!!!!!!

That’s okay… I prefer a candidate that got that story wrong (embellished or not) over a candidate that has been going to a church for 20 yrs and remains totally oblivious to racist/hateful remarks from his “spiritual adviser.” Hmmm — that equates Obama as either a liar or totally without a clue! You pick: neither is complimentary… As well, his “forgetfullness” to all his connections that are, at the least, legally challenged; who have generously helped forge his political career.
At best, the guy is having many, many (many more than Clinton) “Reagan moments” very early on in his years. Again — liar or inable to remember… neither good as a Prez…
when I talk w/his supporters, the over-riding response I get back is: “he sounds good.” …and then if I ask a specific question, they have not a clue as to where Senator Obama stands… but, I guess it sounded good; whatever it was he said. I think Bush “sounded good” to a lot of people in 2000… look where that got us.

Obama must be having a hard time buying new super delegates and endorsements this week — No phony photo ops — so he’s recycling old Negative attacks on hillary.Of course his camps searches for material to smear her with 24/7 to take the heat off the dumb moves he’s made and his bad judgment in friends and associates.
For a long time Obama’s underhandedness drove me crazy because he and Axelrod played good cop bad cop. His camp is so nasty and vicious in a passive aggressive way. Now he’s just all out frontal Negative assault. I’m sure he still says over and over again in speeches he’s New and different and above the fray. Yeah, right!!!
