Hillary Likens McCain Mortgage Plan to Herbert Hoover’s
Not that I’m an expert, but I’m guessing that comparing a candidate’s economic policies to those of the president who presided over the biggest financial collapse in US history isn’t exactly a compliment.
Asked what she thought of John McCain’s proposal to fix the mortgage crisis at her Greenburg, PA media avail, Hillary Clinton said the plan “sounds remarkably like Herbert Hoover, and I don’t think that’s a good economic policy” — adding that it would cause “a downward spiral that would cause tremendous economic pain and loss in our country.” Check out the rest of her response on video below.

Typical Hillary scare tactics, enough said.
If Hillary likens McCain to Hover, that must make her closer to Karl Marxs or Hitler. Why Hillary can’t talk about plans and solutions is beyond me. She always falls back in to the “get ya” mode. Won’t work, isn’t working with Obama and it ain’t going to work with John, so hopefully she gets the nod so we can have McCain/Huckabee……….
Hillary get on your knee pads because you are going to be taken it from both sides. Why don’t you run an ask Greenspan what we should do!! YOu want to be President and now you want Bush to appoint Greenspan and others to fix this crisis. Greenspan told the President and the American People what to do and what not to do and you all didn’t listen. Now it is such an issue and now you are ready to listen. Experience and Judgement flush it along with your femine products.
Well you have to give her points for being Strong and being able to answer questions on her feet. The lady definetly has what it takes when it comes to Policy….. Obama can’t stand up and answer questions.
McCain gave a really good speech today..
Hillary08…McCain08
What Policy are we talking about. Please educate me on the policies you are talking about!
NO TO BAILOUT:
Think of the younger generation who are locked out of housing market for past 5 years because house prices doubled but most salaries didn’t. So anyone who couldn’t get on the bus is locked out (unless they make outrageous amounts of money).
Now they want to keep the home prices artificially inflated by taking the tax money of renters (who don’t get mortgage interest deduction) to give to lousy borrowers (who bought something that they can’t really afford without bailout)!
Nice!

If you call “Strong” standing up their and pointing the finger at someone else rather than say here is the “Solution”! This is how it will work and this is how I will accomplish it. That goes for all the Canidates!
You can say this is what I am going to introduce but here are the ways I will get this passed!
If McCain doesn’t select Romney to be his VP he is doomed in November, mark my words! It doesn’t matter how many Dems jump ship there will be many more Republicans jumping on the Democrats ship.
All psychological warfare it truly is!!
Sen. John McCain and Rep. JC Watts in 2008!
ISN’T THIS LIKE COMPARING HILLARYS NON -EXISTENT FOREIGN POLICY AND LIES TO MCCAIN’S
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE CONCERNING SHIITES AND THE ECONOMY??
OBAMA ‘08
THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER.
HILLARY HAS ALREADY PROVEN HER DISHONESTY ON A MAJOR SCALE.
1. SHE FIRST PROMISED SHE WOULD RELEASE HER TAX RECORDS AFTER MARCH 4TH PRIMARIES.
2.LIED ABOUT BECOMING UNDER FIRE OF SNIPERS TO HELP “BUILD UP” SOME ILL-REVERED RESUME OF FOREIGN POLICY.
3. SHE LIED.
4. LIKE HER HUSBAND - SHE LIED TO ALL OF AMERICA. UNTRUSTWORTHY TO BE PRESIDENT.
5. WHY ISN’T ANY OF THE MEDIA REPORTING OF HILLARY’S UPCOMING FEDERAL TRIAL FOR CORRUPTION REGARDING PETER PAUL AND HILLARY’S CORRUPT NON DISCLOSRE OF MONIES RECEIVED?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Sbz-zwUOI5w
SEE FOR YOURSELVES THE CORRUPTION BY VISITING THE YOUTUBE LINK POSTED.

Anyone who disagrees with Mormonism, Mitt Romney, the practice of polygamy, or sex with sheep is gonna be cuffed, and subsequently, frisked by me…COUNT ON IT!
WHY HASNT THE MEDIA REPORTED ON HILLARY’S UPCOMING TRIAL ON FINANCE FUNDING CORRUPTION IN AUGUST THIS YEAR??
HILLARY HAS A COURT DATE IN AUGUST REGARDING A SCANDAL OF NOT REPORTING FUNDING SHE RAISED FROM A PETER PAUL FUNDRAISER IN 1996.
WHY HASNT THE MEDIA BROUGHT THIS HUGE SCANDAL TO THE PUBLIC’S ATTENTION?
THIS IS BY FAR A MUCH BIGGER SCANDAL THEN THE JEREMIAH WRIGHT SCANDAL WHICH HAS
BEEN BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION.
IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE MEDIA TO BE FAIR IN IT’S REPORTING OF BOTH CANDIDATES!
REPORTS HILLARY’S CAMPIGN SCANDAL TO THE PUBLIC A.S.A.P.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF BOTH CANDIDATES, NOT TO SHOW
PARTIALITY TOWARDS HILLARY.

Uh, most of the Media is left-wing, not right wing, at least on this planet anyways.
EVERYONE WHO IS VOTING SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE VOTING FOR A CLINTON.
HERE’S A GOOGLE LIST TO LOOK UP BEFORE YOU WASTE YOUR VOTE:
1. MARC RICH - KNOWN FELON, PARDONED ON BILL CLINTONS VERY LAST DAY IN OFFICE.
2. PETER PAUL - THIS IS THE GUY WHO HELD A FUNDRAISER FOR THE CLINTONS, RAISED $50,000 FOR THEM BUT THE CLINTONS DIDN’T REPPORT THIS MONEY TO DNC OFFICIALS.
3. REZKO - HILLARY AND BILL SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHO REZKO WAS , BUT THERE IS A PHOTO ON THE INTERNET WITH REZKO, BILL, AND HILLARY…SMILING AS USUAL.
4. HSU - CHINESE BUSINESSMAN CHARGED WITHA FELONY. HE BECAME A FUGITIVE OF JUSTICE BEFORE BEING CAUGHT AND ARRESTED. BIG TIES TO THE CHINESE AND CLINTON DEALINGS.
5. WHITEWATER - THIS IS THE LAND SCANDAL WITH THE CLINTONS. THEY MADE FALSE LOAN CLAIMS, FABRICATING INFORMATION TO MAKE LAND DEALS THAT ULTIMATELY COST TAXPAYERS MILLIONS, IF NOT BILLIONS TO BAIL THEM OUT.
6. NAFTA - ENOUGH SAID.
7. CLINTON SOLD MISSILE TECHNOLGY TO CHINESE- eNDANGERED 300 MILLION AMERICANS BY DOING SO. THANKS BILL (NOT REALLY)
8. VISIT http://WWW.DICKMORRIS.COM AND SEE THE TRAILER MOVIE THERE CALLED “HILLARY”. THIS WILL SHOW HOW CORRUPTION FOLLOWS THE CLINTONS WHEREVER THEY GO.
9. MONICA LEWINSKY SCANDAL - DO WE ALL REMEMBER WHEN BILL STUCK THAT CROOKED FINGER AT OUR TELEVISION SETS AND SAID” I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN” LIED TO ALL OF AMERICA–STRAIGHTFACED!
10. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A LEADER YOU WANT TO RUN AMERICA? A BUSH OR A CLINTON HAS RAN THIS COUNTRY FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS WITH NO PROGRESS FOR THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA. ONLY WARS AND AN EVER-WIDENING GAP BETWEEN THE ELITISTS AND THE POOR,WORKING, AND MIDDLE CLASS.
I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT THESE ARE NOT THE ATTRIBUTES I FIND ATTRACTIVE IN A LEADER!! TO DATE HILLARY HAS NOT RELEASED HER TAX RETURNS SHOWING HOW OR WHERES SHE GETS INCOME FROM BESIDES HER SENATE POSITION. WHAT IS SHE HIDING? WHY THE SECRECY? BARACK OIBAMA HAS BEEN TRANSPARENT IN RELEASING HIS TAX RECORDS, WHY ISN’Y HILLARY FOLLOWING SUIT?
QUESTIONS SUCH AS THESE ONLY PROVE THAT HILLARY CLINTON ONLY BRINGS STATUS QUO TO THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM.
AMERICA NEEDS REAL CHANGE. AMERICA NEEDS BARACK OBAMA.
“AMERICA NEEDS REAL CHANGE. AMERICA NEEDS BARACK OBAMA.”
Yikes! My grand baby needs changing - that’s positive change…from dirty to clean.
Obama becoming President - that’s negative change…from clean to dirty.
Unfortunately, as I’ve previously stated as far back as “Super Tuesday” in February, the Clintons will do whatever necessary to get seated back in the White House. Senator Clinton simply does not have the credentials necessary to be President of the United States. She’s obnoxious, rude, shallow and aloof of those around her. Her most recent actions, those being her remarks about her abilities when it comes for foreign policy are marked by her fabrications of her landing in a “hot zone”. She may be a legend in her own mind, but that’s certainly not the person that the American citizens need leading our country. Senator Obama on the other hand, has continued to remain, for the most part, above the fray, not lowering himself to Senator Clinton’s or her husband’s level. Now it seems, that Ms. Clinton feels that the party should take a hard look at counting the Electoral College delegate for her in order that she might come closer to Senator Obama’s lead thus far in the primary. How disgusting does it need to become before someone with a sense of fairness and command within the party steps in and points out to Ms. Clinton that her actions are destestable. Hopefully, they don’t feel that if they do, the Clintons will come after them. I could go on about it like the news agencies, but everyone already knows that in order to step up to the plate for the welfare of the American people and the party which Hillary Clinton belongs to, she would have to be a big enough person to admit she truly wants what’s best for the country, and we all know, she just doesn’t have the character of being that type of person. I wouldn’t hire her to fetch abstracts, even with her law degree. She remains in this person’s opinion, untrustworthy to hold the highest office in the land.
She is trying to hand the election to John McCain. I find it quite humurous that the only things she can come up with is: Rezco and Rev. Wright. You google both of their names with scandals along side it and see who has more. Then educate yourself on both canidates then go and vote. I compare Hillary to child predators, once a predator always a predator; once a liar always a liar!!

From a fellow Democrat to another, good riddance because she will not be the Nominee.
Angry Dem,
Please don’t speak for everyone else in your party!! You’re just a sore loser like Hillary!! Can’t wait until she has to give her “Stepping aside” speech. I can hear it now. Sniffle, Sniffle I fought really hard, I spent millions of your donated dollars and came up short. Sniffle, Sniffle..It is tough being a “white” woman in America.. Sniffle, Sniffle..I don’t know how I am ever going to be able to retreat back to my state where everyone is going to point and snicker at me.. Sniffle Sniffle I guess I know how GWB feels!!
I most certainly am not angry. I just hate to see you waiste your time on Obama. He’s the phony and hypocrit. Not fit to be Hillary’s assistant much less her VP. Have a great day!
Hillary chiding McCain is like Alfred E. Nueman correcting Albert Einstein.
Or like stevie wonder landing the space shuttle.
Like lynard skynard doing brain surgery on an elephant.
You won’t have to worry about it because she won’t be on the ticket. The DNC party won’t let it happen and this will be taken care of in the begining of May. This will not go to the convention. Hillary is still negotiating her price to step aside. She is brillant I give you that but she lacked it earlier in the primaries!!
Like bozo the clown hiding inside your fridgerator
Obama supporters, how come you have so much time on your hands. Oh, I forgot…..Get a Job!!!! So that my tax money can be spent on more important things.

“Reactionaries” is the first word that comes to mind to explain Hillary and Obama. Never do they come up with their own plan first but rather they wait for the front runner to expose his plan and then they always have some ignorant response as a follow up. The term proper term of Hillary and Obama is “incompetent”, whether its the subject of the economy, war, macro or micro economics or geopolitics…it doesn’t make any difference as they are both parasites and this is rather a gracious term for both of these two democrat pimps.
I wish the media would stick to attacking britney spears and leave Obama for us to kick around.

Uh, most of the Media is left-wing, not right wing, at least on this planet anyways.
==================================================
In the latest pole of actual reporters:
# Five times more national journalists identify themselves as “liberal” (34 percent) than
“conservative” (just 7 percent). In contrast, a survey of the public taken in May 2004 found 20
percent saying they were liberal, and 33 percent saying they were conservative.
# Most national journalists (55 percent) say the media are “not critical enough” of President
Bush, compared with only eight percent who believe the press has been “too critical.” In 1995, the
poll found just two percent thought journalists had given “too much” coverage to then-President
Clinton’s accomplishments, compared to 48 percent who complained of “too little” coverage of
Clinton’s achievements.
# Reporters struggled to name a liberal news organization. According to Pew, “The New York
Times was most often mentioned as the national daily news organization that takes a decidedly
liberal point of view, but only by 20% of the national sample.” Only two percent of reporters
suggested CNN, ABC, CBS, or NPR were liberal; just one percent named NBC.
# Journalists did see ideology at one outlet: “The single news outlet that strikes most journalists
as taking a particular ideological stance — either liberal or conservative — is Fox News Channel,”
Pew reported. More than two-thirds of national journalists (69 percent) tagged FNC as a
conservative news organization, followed by The Washington Times (9 percent) and The Wall Street
Journal (8 percent).
THE
There are piles of analysis that support these findings over the past 20 years. But, we should just believe that “it ain’t soooooooo”!
Watch Sean Hannity tonight he is all we need!! and I don’t think we will be any sniffles if McCain gets elected. I think he fall and break his hip or something and Romney will then have to step in if he selects him. Accidents happen and if things don’t go accordingly in your party he will have a slip and his VP will step in!!
It doesn’t make any difference what Hill says. She is toast. Either Obama will beat her or McCain will and that will be the end of the Clinton’s. Thank God and good riddance.

Hillary is an idiot. Does she actually blame Herbert Hoover for the Great Depression? It wasn’t his fault, the Great Depression was in the making long before he became president. The Great Depression hit only a few months after Hoover became president.

Fact Check: Sen. Obama Accepts Over $1 Million From Subprime Lending Industry
Send to a Friend »
The Obama campaign’s response to the comprehensive plan Hillary laid out to address the housing crisis today was not to discuss their disagreement with her proposal but to assert that Hillary has received contributions from subprime loan companies.
Considering that Sen. Obama has received $1.18 million from subprime lenders and has taken more campaign contributions from the top ten issuers of subprime loans, that attack rings hollow as just words. Sen. Obama has a record of talking about standing up to special interests and then caving to their demands. Hillary has a 35-year record of standing up to special interests and delivering results.

Factcheck: Hillary and Bosnia
Send to a Friend »
Hillary recently misspoke about her trip to Bosnia. She accurately describes the trip in her book, Living History:
‘Due to reports of snipers in the hills around the airstrip, we were forced to cut short an event on the tarmac…’ “Security conditions were constantly changing in the former Yugoslavia, and they had recently deteriorated again. Due to reports of snipers in the hills around the airstrip, we were forced to cut short an event on the tarmac with local children, though we did have time to meet them and their teachers and to learn how hard they had worked during the war to continue classes in any safe spot they could find. … We were then off to the fortified American base at Tuzla, where over two thousand American, Russian, Canadian, British, and Polish soldiers were encamped in a large tent city.” [Living History, p. 343]
Contemporaneous news accounts confirm that Hillary’s trip to Bosnia was a dangerous situation:
Hillary’s trip to Bosnia marked the first time since Eleanor Roosevelt that a first lady traveled to a potential combat zone. Accompanied by singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow and comedian Sinbad, Mrs. Clinton traveled to this northwestern Bosnian town on a morale-boosting tour for the 18,500 U.S. troops participating in the NATO-led peacemaking operation. She heard a poem of peace from a Bosnian girl and praised U.S. troops for ’showing what American leadership is.’…This trip to Bosnia marks the first time since Roosevelt that a first lady has voyaged to a potential combat zone. During World War II, Roosevelt toured the devastated streets of London and the southwestern Pacific, bringing cheer to U.S. troops. [Washington Post, 3/26/96]
Hillary was ‘protected by sharpshooters’ in a ‘military zone’ when she visited troops in Bosnia. “Protected by sharpshooters, Hillary Rodham Clinton swooped into a military zone by Black Hawk helicopter Monday to deliver a personal ‘thank you, thank you, thank you’ to U.S. troops. ‘They’re making a difference,’ the first lady said of the 18,500 Americans working as peacekeepers in Bosnia. Mrs. Clinton became the first presidential spouse since Eleanor Roosevelt to make such an extensive trip into what can be considered a hostile area, though others have visited hot spots…” [Charleston Gazette, 3/26/96]

Fact Check: What Bill Clinton Said In Charlotte
Send to a Friend »
Some are suggesting that the following remark by President Clinton was intended as a personal attack:
I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country and people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics
Actually, as is indicated by the quote itself, President Clinton was talking about the need to talk about issues, rather than falsely questioning any candidate’s patriotism.
He was lamenting that these kind of distractions “always seems to intrude” on political campaigns. This is consistent with his criticism of the “politics of personal destruction,” which dates back 16 years.

It’s interesting that the Obama campaign often gets its back up when we say that their campaign is just words. But I think few things illustrate this point better than what Sen. Obama is doing with regard to Florida and Michigan.’’ –Campaign Spokesperson Phil Singer
Sen. Obama’s has previously emphasized the importance of counting all votes. So why won’t he make sure the voters of Michigan and Florida have their votes count?
Obama: ‘One of our most sacred rights as Americans is the right to make our voice heard at the polls.’ “’One of our most sacred rights as Americans is the right to make our voice heard at the polls,’ said Obama. ‘But too often, we hear reports of mysterious phone calls and mailers arriving just days before an election that seek to mislead and threaten voters to keep them from the polls. And those who engage in these deceptive and underhanded campaign tactics usually target voters living in minority or low-income neighborhoods. This legislation would ensure that for the first time, these incidents are fully investigated and that those found guilty are punished.’” [Obama Statement on Legislation to Prevent Election Fraud, 11/8/05]
Obama ad touts his work as a ‘civil rights attorney to make sure that everybody’s vote counted.’ “OBAMA: “From the time that I moved to Chicago to be a community organizer. Working as a civil rights attorney to make sure that everybody’s vote counted. In each instance, there were naysayers who said it couldn’t be done, but when millions of voices join together and insist on change, change happens and that’s what we have to do in this election.” [Obama ad, “Hope and Change,” 11/20/07]
Obama touted his work as a civil rights attorney ‘enforcing voting rights.’ “OBAMA: You know, when I moved to Chicago to organize (inaudible) communities, I saw what happened when folks don’t have enough political power. And so when I got out of law school, I organized the voter registration drive and we registered 150,000 new voters in 1992. Then when I started my law practice, I became a civil rights attorney, enforcing voting rights against the city of Chicago and against the state of Illinois that hadn’t implemented motor voter. So this is something that I know something about.” [Obama remarks at NAACP Forum, 7/12/07]
Obama: “There is no place for politics in this debate – no room for those who feel they can gain a partisan advantage by keeping people away from the polls.’ “There are some issues in this country that are inherently difficult and political. Making sure that every American can cast a ballot shouldn’t be one of them. There is no place for politics in this debate–no room for those who feel that they can gain a partisan advantage by keeping people away from the polls.” [Obama Floor Speech on Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2007, S 453, 1/31/07]
Obama: ‘That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of the people…that our votes will be counted – or at least, most of the time.’ That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles. That we can tuck in our children at night and know they are fed and clothed and safe from harm. That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody’s son. That we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes will he counted — or at least, most of the time. [Obama DNC Speech, 7/27/04]

Hillary also fails to say that FDR plan in many ways made the Depression worse.
MYTH: For Hillary to win, super delegates must “overturn the will of the people.”
FACT: The race is virtually tied, the “will of the people” is split, and both candidates need super delegates to win.
The Obama campaign and Sen. Obama’s surrogates have engaged in a sustained public relations effort to convince people that the election is over and that if super delegates perform their established role of choosing a candidate who they believe will make the best nominee and president, they are somehow “overturning the will of the people.” They have the audacity to make this argument while quietly and systematically courting those very same super delegates. They are courting them because they know that Sen. Obama needs super delegates to win. The Obama spin is being parroted daily by pundits, but it is patently false. The race is virtually tied; the “will of the people” is split. By virtually every measure, Hillary and Sen. Obama are neck and neck — separated by less than 130 of the more than 3,100 delegates committed thus far and less than 1% of the 27 million+ votes cast, including Florida and Michigan. Less than 1%.
An incremental advantage for one candidate or the other is hardly a reason for super delegates to change the rules mid-game. Despite the Obama campaign’s aggressive spin and pressure, the RULES require super delegates to exercise their best independent judgment, and that is what they will do. Even Sen. Obama’s top strategist agrees they should. If not, then why don’t prominent Obama endorsers like Senators Kerry (MA) and Kennedy (MA), and Governors Patrick (MA), Napolitano (AZ) and Richardson (NM) follow the will of their constituents and switch their support to Hillary? After all, she won their states. And if this is truly about the “will of the people,” then Sen. Obama’s short-sighted tactic to run out the clock on a revote in Florida and Michigan accomplishes exactly two things: it disenfranchises Florida and Michigan’s voters; and it hurts Democrats in a general election. Apparently, for the Obama campaign, the “will of the people” is just words.
MYTH: Barack Obama is running a positive campaign that will unite Americans.
FACT: Barack Obama and his advisers have conducted a divisive “full assault” on Hillary’s character.
While talking a lot about the politics of hope, change and unity, Sen. Obama and his campaign have been conducting a relentless and singularly personal assault on Hillary’s character. They have blanketed big states with false negative mailers and radio ads and have described Hillary and her campaign as “disingenuous,” “divisive,” “untruthful,” “dishonest,” “polarizing,” “calculating,” “saying whatever it takes to win,” “attempting to deceive the American people,” “one of the most secretive in America,” “deliberately misleading,” “literally willing to do anything to win,” and “playing politics with war.”
This “full assault” on Hillary’s integrity and character has reached a new peak since Hillary’s victories on March 4th. One of Sen. Obama’s top surrogates equated President Clinton with Joe McCarthy; another called Hillary a “monster;” and his campaign manager held an angry conference call claiming that Hillary is “deeply flawed” and has “character issues.” That’s neither unifying nor hopeful. If Sen. Obama really is the prohibitive favorite some say he is, these negative attacks make absolutely no sense. Why would a frontrunner seek to attack and divide? If Sen. Obama can’t unify Democrats in a primary, how can he unify Americans in a general election?

Date: March 21, 2008
RE: Obama Campaign: Just Words
At this point, it’s no secret that the Obama campaign is in political hot water given the news stories of the last few weeks and is desperate to change the subject.
The ground is shifting away from them and their response?
First, disenfranchise voters - Prevent new votes in Florida and Michigan. Stop voting in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Oregon, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, Kentucky, South Dakota, Montana, West Virginia and Indiana.
Second, peddle photos of President Clinton shaking hands with Reverend Wright less than 48 hours after calling for a high-minded conversation on race. Well, President Clinton took tens of thousands of photos during his eight years as president. Stop the presses.
Third, accuse our campaign of having something to do with Senator Obama’s passport file being breached, a reckless charge that has zero merit.
Fourth, continue attacks on Senator Clinton’s character in an effort to implement what the Chicago Tribune called a full assault on her ethics.
Fifth, stonewall the press: no tax returns, no state records, no answers about the inconsistencies in the Rezko story.
So it’s not a pretty sight - it’s all part of a pattern of just words.
Senator Obama talks about voter participation while actively disenfranchising millions.
He calls for high minded debates while practicing lowdown politics.
He promises a different kind of campaign while attacking Hillary’s character.
He promises transparency while hiding basic info and stonewalling the press.
It’s no wonder that Americans are coming to see that for all of his lofty rhetoric, Senator Obama’s candidacy is really just words.
It’s no surprise that Americans are expressing serious doubts about his ability to answer the 3am call.
It’s no wonder that top journalists are calling the Obama campaign desperate, saying that it’s amateur hour in Chicago.

At this point, it’s no secret that the Obama campaign is in political hot water given the news stories of the last few weeks and is desperate to change the subject.
The ground is shifting away from them and their response?
First, disenfranchise voters - Prevent new votes in Florida and Michigan. Stop voting in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Oregon, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, Kentucky, South Dakota, Montana, West Virginia and Indiana.
Second, peddle photos of President Clinton shaking hands with Reverend Wright less than 48 hours after calling for a high-minded conversation on race. Well, President Clinton took tens of thousands of photos during his eight years as president. Stop the presses.
Third, accuse our campaign of having something to do with Senator Obama’s passport file being breached, a reckless charge that has zero merit.
Fourth, continue attacks on Senator Clinton’s character in an effort to implement what the Chicago Tribune called a full assault on her ethics.
Fifth, stonewall the press: no tax returns, no state records, no answers about the inconsistencies in the Rezko story.
So it’s not a pretty sight - it’s all part of a pattern of just words.
Senator Obama talks about voter participation while actively disenfranchising millions.
He calls for high minded debates while practicing lowdown politics.
He promises a different kind of campaign while attacking Hillary’s character.
He promises transparency while hiding basic info and stonewalling the press.
It’s no wonder that Americans are coming to see that for all of his lofty rhetoric, Senator Obama’s candidacy is really just words.
It’s no surprise that Americans are expressing serious doubts about his ability to answer the 3am call.
It’s no wonder that top journalists are calling the Obama campaign desperate, saying that it’s amateur hour in Chicago.
barack,pls stop it
Intersting the only thing you Republicans can talk about in Clintons term as President is Moncia Lewinsky. Maybe first of all you should get out your history books and look at George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Taft, FDR, and others. Bill had an affair, GET OVER IT. George Bush stood in front of the American public as did Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfield and lied about weapons of mass destruction. Weather you back the war or not - his dishonesty and lies to the public are far worse than having an affair (which by the way didn’t kill anyone and cost this country trillons we don’t have)…
By the way, Bill is not our candidate - Hillary is.
I can say I don’t see the Democrats being so hateful and mean on these blogs as our Republican co-Americans.
I really don’t think that the Democratic Party can be repaired given the two choice candidates. A Hillary/Obama ticket is impossible because there is no way that Hillary supporters will vote Obama into office for President or Vice President. The Hillary supporters are too upset with Trinity and won’t they be able to move past it until after the election. It is too bad for Obama that he stayed with this church all these years. He could have fixed it all simply by admitting it was wrong but he refused to do it. To make matters worse for Obama, he brought his grandma into a political speech. This was another mistake on Obama’s part. There are some things that deserve privacy and that moment between he and his grandmother should have remained just that, private. This is clearly a battle between the Democratic Party now. The supporters are in it for the long hall even if that means their choice candidate isn’t selected for President just because the beliefs they hold are very strong. My guess is that Hillary will be the one to get selected over Obama and she should choose her VP elect carefully. One thing is for sure, RACE should have stayed out of the race. May this be a lesson for future Presidential Elects and may they choose their spiritual advisors more carefully in the future.
Obama Campaign Continues “Full Assault” On The Facts
Send to a Friend »
The Obama campaign’s full assault on Hillary is expanding into a full assault on the truth.
The memo the Obama campaign released today is full of blatantly inaccurate information and false innuendo, intended to denigrate Hillary’s critical role in the passage of SCHIP and the Family and Medical Leave Act. Clearly, they believe that the media will overlook the facts and follow another false, trivial story line of their creation.
On SCHIP, Sen. Ted Kennedy said, “The children’s health program wouldn’t be in existence today if we didn’t have Hillary pushing for it from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.” At the time of passage in 1997, Sen. Kennedy said, “we pay tribute to Mrs. Clinton. Mrs. Clinton has made the issue of children’s health and well-being her really first priority in this country, and she was of invaluable help, both in the fashioning and the shaping of the program, and also as a clear advocate, in terms of having an effective outcome, during the discussion and the debate on the children’s health issue.”
Factcheck.org says “Despite disparagement from political rivals, we find she deserves ample credit for expanding children’s health insurance.” More facts HERE.
On FMLA, Debra Ness, President of the National Partnership for Women and Families, the organization that worked for years on the issue, said “Hillary was instrumental in getting the Family and Medical Leave Act signed into law…Hillary brought her work and experience on behalf of children and working families to the campaign trail in 1991 and 1992 and knew the importance of getting this legislation passed immediately.” More facts HERE.
Hillary Was Asked About Rev. Wright, Answered Honestly
Send to a Friend »
There is a lot of speculation in the media as to why Hillary spoke about Rev. Wright yesterday. The facts are simple: she was asked a question in an editorial board interview and she answered it honestly.
Here is the transcript:
Q: How would you have responded if your pastor had said some of the things that Rev. Wright said?
A: He would not have been my pastor. You know you don’t choose your family but you choose what church you want to attend.

Our candles are starting to burn out lets go back and light more candles and keep our hopes and dreams alive. Hillary will be our next President of the United States.
Sen. Obama will not disclose what cases he worked on that involved Tony Rezko or his companies:
Obama campaign has not released which cases Obama worked on involving Rezko/Rezmar. “Asked what Rezko cases Obama worked on, Miner (a firm partner) told the Sun-Times, ‘We’ll put together a list of the cases he worked on involving Rezko/Rezmar in the next day or two.’ That was March 13 [2007]. He never provided the information.” [Chicago Sun-
Sen. Obama has not released his tax returns, except for 2006:
Obama has only released 2006 tax returns, ‘as for pre-2006 or 2007 returns, Burton says he ‘will keep you posted.’ Obama released his 2006 tax returns and said, ‘That’s been a policy I’ve maintained consistently. I think the American people deserve to know, you know, where you get your income from.’ “But it’s not as though all Obama’s returns from his entire time as a US Senator are available. Will Obama release all of those returns or, next month, his 2007 tax returns?…As for any pre-2006 or 2007 returns, Burton says he ‘will keep you posted.’” [ABC, 3/9/08]
Sen. Obama will not release the name of the broker who managed his controversial ’semi-blind’ trust:
Obama refuses to name the UBS broker that purchased the stocks in his ‘quasi-blind’ trust. “Obama had about $100,000 he wanted to invest in 2005. The money was a portion of the $1.2 million he got from a book contract. He said Wednesday he decided the $100,000 could be put into something “more high risk” and asked a friend to recommend a stock broker. That friend was donor George W. Haywood, who held what the New York Times called “major” positions in the two stocks Obama ended up owning, Skyterra and AVI BioPharma…. Obama declined to name the UBS broker.” [Sweet column, Chicago Sun-Times, 3/8/07]
Sen. Obama touts his new decision to disclose his U.S. Senate earmarks but he refuses to release all earmarks from his time in the state senate:
Obama has been silent on non-federal earmarks he secured while serving in State Senate. “Sen. Barack Obama is open about the pet projects he’s tucked into federal legislation, but it’s a different story when it comes to the extra spending he added to state budgets while serving in the Illinois Legislature…. When Obama served in the state Legislature, from 1997 until late 2004, it was routine for money to be added to the annual budget for lawmakers to dole out. In most years, this was done without any public record of which legislator was sponsoring which grant, leaving no way to tell how Obama used his share of the money. [AP, 3/13/08]
Over 20 years of Hillary Clinton’s tax returns have been previously released, hundreds of thousands of pages of records from her time in White House and countless other documents detailing her time in public life. Sen. Obama’s record is far more opaque.
Sen. Obama has not released any records from his time in the state senate:
Obama: ‘I don’t have, I don’t maintain a file of eight years of work in the state Senate because I didn’t have the resources available to maintain those kinds of records.’ He added, ‘It could have been thrown out. I haven’t been in the state Senate now for quite some time.’ [CBS, 11/14/07]
Obama: ‘I had one staff person that was what was allocated. I don’t have archivists in the state Senate. I don’t have the Barack Obama state Senate library available to me, so we had a bunch of file cabinets. I do not have a whole bunch of records from those years.’ [Chicago Sun Times, 11/10/07]

Does anyone have the registered Democrat total vote for Hillary? The info I saw was 52% for Hillary and 48% for BO including votes in Florida and Michigan(they were giving BO all of the uncommitted votes,funny) The others that pushed up OB’s numbers were Independents and Republicans. She still was within 97,000 votes including MI and FL.
Who are these people that think Hillary should quit? Would they if the difference was 97,000?
Way to Go Hillary!
On the Rasmussen poll today, it says that 22% of the people polled want Hillary Clinton to drop out, and 22% want Barack Obama to drop out. SO THEY ARE TIED WITH THAT POLL AS WELL.NO ONE IS LEAVING THIS RACE- that’s for sure!

George Bush stood in front of the American public as did Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfield and lied about weapons of mass destruction.
