Clinton Fights On In Pennsylvania

During the first of five campaign stops in Pennsylvania today, Clinton detailed tough challenges posed by the economy, China, and Iraq — and said she’s the candidate with the toughness to take them on.

“We have got to realize that our future really depends upon who the next president is,” she said outside a fire station in West Chester. “This is not a throwaway election. This is one of the most important elections we’ve ever faced.”

And in a high school gym in West Lawn, Clinton cast herself as a fighter, saying “the job of a leader is to bring people together to solve problems, but to understand that sometimes we have to fight to get the political will and the votes to make that happen.”

Her opponent, she implied, isn’t tough enough for that fight. Echoing language she used to bash Barack Obama for complaining about last week’s ABC debate yesterday, Clinton said the country needs someone “who can withstand the incredible pressures of a political campaign, which believe me, when you get into the general election, and when you get into the White House, the stresses and pressures of the general election and the job are overwhelming. And we know that we’ve got to have a president ready on day one to take charge.”

And in another barb directed at Obama’s reliance on rhetoric, she told the West Chester crowd “I don’t want to just show up and give one of these whoop-de-do speeches, and just kind of get everybody whipped up and those of you who are for me feel great, and try to convince some of you to be for me.” Instead, she said, “I want everybody thinking about what we want to do starting on Tuesday.”

YES! We can change the miserable state of politics and the miserable state of our country and the world. Mr. Obama is a one in a life time present to Americans and to the world. If we don’t recognize it, we deserve what comes to us if he’s not elected.

And a message to Mrs. Clinton, who’s complaining about Mr. Obama’s toughness: To be tough does not mean to be an abusive liar that attacks a fellow candidate and deceives the voters. Being tough is having the willpower to remain within one’s objective and at the same time preseve one’s self-respect and respect to others, in spite of all the attacks.

Saturday began with Sen. Obama going door-to-door in the Mayfair neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia. “This reminds me of my days campaigning to be a state Senator,” Obama told Rep. Patrick Murphy as they encountered nearly a third of the homes with no one answering. “Only there was no media and there were more slammed doors.”

Where was everyone? Had they gone to church?

No–it is Saturday—they were scared to answer their door, when they peeked through the window—-bigots are like that ya know!==lol

Or they were getting their gun and he left before they gave a shotgun door opener–lol

Or they ran and got their bible citing verses and praying in tongues till he went away–lol

Apr 19, 2008): “Why not blame Obama” (RCP) - scathing critique of the liberal media supporting Obama…

——————————————————————————–

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art…ame_obama.html

Quote:
It’s rather amusing watching the liberal media launch a full-scale attack on George Stephanopoulos and Charles Gibson, with General Tom Shales of the Washington Post leading the charge. ABC’s Stephanopoulos and Gibson had the audacity to ask Obama some tough questions during the Democratic debate Tuesday night. Challenge Obama with well-informed questions on tax policy and politics? Wound the media favorite? How dare they?

For his part, Obama gained the backing of a disgruntled Clinton administration employee. But wait a minute…hasn’t Robert Reich been a vocal supporter of Obama for months?

“Bill Clinton’s ill-tempered and ill-founded attacks on Barack Obama are doing no credit to the former president, his legacy, or his wife’s campaign,” he wrote in January. “Nor are they helping the Democratic Party.”

Asked to respond to Reich’s endorsement, Clinton spokesman Mo Eleithee said, “Didn’t he endorse him last year?”

Just a rumor, but I hear Michelle is set to endorse her husband a few days before the North Carolina primary.

HuffPo Catches Hillary Dissing MoveOn

From the gigantic red letters and extremely unflattering photo of Hillary on the front page of Huffington Post today, you might have thought a security camera had caught her raiding the First National Bank of Scranton. But no. Turns out that a couple of months ago, she said a few things about certain liberal activists, particularly MoveOn, that were not entirely nice. Particularly about some tactics involved during the caucus contests.

Yep, thats all it is. On the audio, her voice is calm and her thoughts are quite reasonable. What a big load of nothing. And besides, as MoveOn does not exactly have a great reputation among the public at large, a Hillary vs MoveOn storyline might not be that bad. Personally, I think HuffPo might be in a bit of a panic that Hillary could win decisively in PA.

Two former New Jersey governors, Jim Florio and Brendan Byrne, endorsed Mrs. Clinton last year, but they were only selected to be their state’s add-on delegates Thursday….

Representative Betty Sutton of Ohio also came out in support of Mrs. Clinton. The district she represents is in northeastern Ohio.

“I have had the opportunity to engage in significant discussions with Senator Clinton about the concerns and hopes of the people I am so honored to represent,” Ms. Sutton said in a news release. “She has demonstrated a keen understanding of the pressing issues, such as the need to create economic opportunity for working families right here in Northeast Ohio.”

Comment by 1990s Clinton Era

The Clinton era from the 1990s was good for the economy and everyone was lifted as I recall. I’m just a couple months older than Obama and remember it well. Obama has made too many promises to avoid either raising taxes or increasing the debt. Hillary has a plan that balances. Younger votes should not be duped by Obama’s charm and lust for recognition.

WILL OBAMA QUALIFY for TOP SECURITY CLEARANCE?
Looking at Obama’s friendships, associations and in some cases close relationships with people like William Ayers, Mr. Wright, Farrakhan etc who publicaly maintain anti-American and racist sentiments - I do not think he CAN GET ‘TOP SECURITY CLEARANCE’. Shouldn’t that be a BASIC CRITERIA for someone who is running for ‘President’ of USA?

Clinton Gave A “Controversial” Pardon To Susan Rosenberg, A Member Of The Weather Underground Who Was Implicated In The Deaths Of Two Police Officers And A Security Guard. The New York Times wrote that “A former terrorist who was caught with 740 pounds of dynamite and weapons in New Jersey, the fugitive ex-husband of a Manhattan socialite who is a close friend of former President Clinton, and four men who stole tens of millions of dollars from the federal government by creating a phony school for Jewish students were among about a dozen people from the New York area who were pardoned or had their prison sentences commuted” on Clinton’s last day in office. […] The most controversial local case involves Susan L. Rosenberg, a former member of the Weather Underground who had been denied parole in a New Jersey explosives and weapons case because of charges brought against her in the 1981 armed robbery of a Brink’s armored car. That heist left two police officers and a security guard dead.” [New York Times, 1/21/01]

Comment by Ellis

Someone forwarded this email to me today. Is it true?

In 1961, a young African-American man, after hearing President John F.
Kennedy’s challenge to, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but
what you can do for your country,” gave up his student deferment, left
college in Virginia and voluntarily joined the Marines.

In 1963, this man, having completed his two years of service in the
Marines, volunteered again to become a Navy corpsman. (They provide
medical assistance to the Marines as well as to Navy personnel.)

The man did so well in corpsman school that he was the valedictorian
and became a cardiopulmonary technician. Not surprisingly, he was assigned
to the Navy’s premier medical facility, Bethesda Naval Hospital, as a
member of the commander in chief’s medical team, and helped care for
President Lyndon B. Johnson after his 1966 surgery.

For his service on the team, which he left in 1967, the White House
awarded him three letters of commendation.

What is even more remarkable is that this man entered the Marines and
Navy not many years after the two branches began to become integrated.

While this young man was serving six years on active duty, Vice
President Dick Cheney, who was born the same year as the Marine/
sailor,received five deferments, four for being an undergraduate and graduate
student and one for being a prospective father.

Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger
than the African-American youth, used their student deferments to stay in
college until 1968. Both then avoided going on active duty through
family connections.

Who is the real patriot? The young man who interrupted his studies to
serve his country for six years or our three political leaders who beat
the system? Are the patriots the people who actually sacrifice
something or those who merely talk about their love of the country?

After leaving the service of his country, the young African-American
finished his final year of college, entered the seminary, was ordained
as a minister, and eventually became pastor of a large church in one of
America’s biggest cities.

This man is Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the retiring pastor of Trinity United
Church of Christ.

Comment by EJ

Paul - and your point is???????????? Bill Clinton is our former President, he is not running in this election. Senator Hillary Rodam Clinton (and she even uses her middle name) is OUR candidate. It’s been so funny that people want to dig up everything Bill Clinton EVER did and bring it up now. Senator Clinton did NOT pardon or commute sentences. Obama DID sit through years of bitter remarks made about USA and did nothing but agree with it all. Obama DID associate with the ex-weather man as late as 2004-05, even going to his home. This is like mixing apples and oranges, not much there.

Comment by rose

True, moveon.org is hardly a human being so the editorial by huffypuff post offers little comparison in the way of remarks.

Obama insulted a long history and culture of actual humans beings that have every right to own weapons and praise god. Was Obama saying they would not like guns or God if they were not bitter at the government for leaving them out?

I’d like to know which part of the Peace & Prosperity era that the Clinton’s presided over that people did not like? Let’s face it that history is on the books and while obama drags it through the mud he is really just hurting himself. He should be so lucky to have Hilary as his president.

His ego is what he is worried about since he does not want to work for a woman but wouldn’t mind a woman working for him. Isn’t that clearly sexist? When people complain about Hilary it really sounds more like their own attitude needs to change.

People are making a huge mistake thinking that our whole government is being run wrong and that obama can fix it. He has too much money backing him to be a real deal. Plus he clams to be prepared to scrap the whole way “all” of Washington does business and still find some time to get all his promises accomplished, when?

It took a group of dedicated, fighting, men and women to write our constitution and draw up the bill of rights for which our government system has been developed. Now, he will revamp the entire way business is done by the government, by himself and change it into what kind of a system/dictatorship?

And all those politicians that have lined up to take his money for their show of support does that mean he will have to scrap them too since they are all part of the old system that he alone can take down and redo.

This old system that obama claims to be tired of dealing with - would that be democracy? Maybe people should listen to what he says and not just the way he says it.

Not every lobbyist is a bad guy or bad girl - some lobbyist are working to get deals through that people want and appreciate - but most people don’t know how that really works. They assume Obama is right - when in fact he is really just a Radical Hard Left Liberal.

WHO are all these nasty lobbyists that are getting slammed by Obama? Obviously those horrible American’s won’t be voting for him. Sound like their jobs will be going the way of the dinosaur. Don’t they get a chance to respond back to ALL his scathing rhetoric? Let’s hear what they have to say.

Also obama was not a member of the Senate when the vote for war was authorized so why does everyone think he voted against the war when he had not vote to offer. It is easy to oppose something from the outside in - like he does now. He knows all about being president after having done nothing presidential.

I guess we should change Clinton’s Campaign Bus from SOLUTIONS EXPRESS to DOUBLE SPEAK EXPRESS. The Clinton’s sold the rights of workers & the Unions in America for $800,000 in 2005 to Columbia. Bush sells America to the Chinese for $12b each month to fight Cheyenne’s /Haliburton’s war in Iraq and Mark Penn tried to continue Clinton’s plan in Colombia for 2009 until they got exposed. Double speak is all I can say. America is not for sale. No Vote for Bill/Hillary in 2008/2009. Enough is enough.

I never realized how dumb Obama was until the debate. If he is not given a prepared speech by his staff, he knows nothing. Everyone talks about how he has run an excellent campaign. He has a good campaign manager and a good speech writer, without them Obama is nothing. We see the true Obama in debates. He is a pitiful example of a candidate running for president. The only reason some of the people still believe in him is, he has taken so much of their money they are ashamed to admit they made a mistake. The more I see of his arrogant attitude the more I dislike him.

MY FELLOW “BITTER”, STUPID, WORKING CLASS PEOPLE

If you think like Barack Obama, that WORKING CLASS PEOPLE are just a bunch of “BITTER”!, STUPID, PEASANTS, Cash COWS!, and CANNON FODDER. :-(

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary’s than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton.

Best regards

jacksmith… Working Class

p.s. You Might Be An Idiot!

If you don’t know that the huge amounts of money funding the Obama campaign to try and defeat Hillary Clinton is coming in from the insurance, and medical industry, that has been ripping you off, and killing you and your children. And denying you, and your loved ones the life saving medical care you needed. All just so they can make more huge immoral profits for them-selves off of your suffering…

You see, back in 1993 Hillary Clinton had the audacity, and nerve to try and get quality, affordable universal health care for everyone to prevent the suffering and needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of you each year.

Approx. 100,000 of you die each year from medical accidents from a rush to profit by the insurance, and medical industry. Another 120,000 of you die each year from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don’t die from. And I could go on, and on…

 
Comment by jacksmith

DON’T BE DUPED !!!

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. With Hillary Clinton you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.

But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).

I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She’s a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.

You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.

Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! OUT GUNNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.

The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.

Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

“This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)

RE: EJ Comment

Wake up EJ! The Clintons are BOTH ethically and morally challenged individuals. The fact that Hillary is apparently the lessor of two evils (Hillary VS Obama) will mean little come the general election against McCain. Specifically, Hillary is (1) not trustworthy; (2) unethical; (3) an enabler against innocent women via her husband’s sexual depravity; (4) a political fraud and (5) not that smart…she flunked the D.C. bar exam. Simply put…this candidate is pure counterfeit and not worthy to be the next President of the United States of America!

 
Comment by rose

Paul -get a clue and buy a vowel.

This is not a real topic you are w worried about. Presidential pardons are not something new or different. Especially in the case you are discussing. Not only did Hilary not give that pardon but those ladies who played limited roles in the case were pardoned because of their limited role, time served and they showed remorse, etc.

This is already well reported on and makes sense to ordinary readers. Let’s say in the remote, snow balls chance in hell a Radical Hard Left Liberal does BUY HIS way into the white house. You can rest assured he would make plenty of controversial pardons. Please get onto a real topic.

What is interesting is obama denied having a direct connection with Ayers when in fact he does? And that the connection was old - when it is actually recent. Are people easily influenced by the company they keep? The answer is yes.

This is really about the man behind the curtain will all the money driving the bus, planes and train right back at us, as American’s.

They are playing on your guilt. Not every American feels guilt, nor are all American’s dissatisfied with government. They are however fed up with Bush’s private club running the white house.

Do you want to elect a president who will tell American’s after another terrorist attack happens, it is really our OWN fault and to get over it?

Obama wants to fire all lobbyists to solve ALL our woes. What if he is wrong and getting rid of them does not solve anything and only serves to create a bigger problem.

Be really, real here. Fire them and what will replace them? What method will be used to accomplish important goals, to relay information, compile research and provide alternative views? All those honest politician’s that are standing by waiting for obama to clean up dirty old Washington politics so they will have a job? What about all the politician’s who stand for him now, they are that old system he says he will bring down. They do not look worried that he is really going to do anything or else they would be out of a job - see what I am saying? Something about all that noise, just does not jive.

So is the issue about how bad our government is? Or is it that people want to stop paying for a war that has gone wrong for the wrong reasons?

Hilary is not part of the Bush club’s well “oiled” war machine. But Bush did have support from people now supporting Obama. Don’t kid yourself for one second Obama can’t just stroll into the white house and say let’s pull, our people out – pack your gear we are headed home. That is both unrealistic and irresponsible at this stage. Not to mention that we will be slaughtered and disgraced. But hey it was all our fault right?

Hilary can mend fences and strike accords… she is a consummate diplomat and politician. She knows everyoe on a first name basis and can dial their number by heart. Our lady president in waiting has a proven record for anyone who takes the time to look and see. She can do the job.

The network that brings out the REST OF THE STORY will be the most watched, There is one net work that dont seem to be able to mention Obama enough. They thing they can cover up his lack of experince by putting His Name and trivial story on as much as possible. Slanted reporting is getting very old, Every one knows the worst reporters and it is a full time news network.
Just my opinion

 
Comment by Sandra Johnson

Now here’s one of the toughest questions posed by ABC. Why dd you quit wearing the Ameican flag pin on our lapel? Gee, you hve to dig deep for the answer to that question. Is that is what will determine how we are to vote for President?

And Hillary, why don’t you address Obama on the issues instead of personal little things, or are you afraid you will lose there, too? If you can’t win on the issues, pick on the petty stuff. Why? It’s easier.

When in doubt, lie.

Historic High
A record number of Pennsylvanians have registered to vote in the April 22 primary, according to the PA Department of State.

The agency today announced a final tally of 8,328,123 registered voters. That is a record for a state primary election. The overall record for any election remains the 2004 general election when 8,366,663 — or 38,540 more — Pennsylvanians were registered to vote.

“It is unprecedented for a primary election in Pennsylvania, and it is very exciting to see so many people want to participate in the electoral process,” Secretary of the Commonwealth Pedro A. Cortés said in a statement released by his office.

Since January, 218,923 new voters have registered. Of those, 152,775 registered Democratic and 40,195 registered Republican.

Also since January, 164,026 registered voters changed their affiliation to Democratic and 14,887 changed to Republican.

Geographically, the highest numbers of voter registration statistics came from Allegheny and Philadelphia counties; the lowest came from Forest and Cameron counties. By age group, the highest numbers of registered voters are between the ages of 45 and 54; the lowest are between 18 and 24 years old.

“When it comes to negative campaign tactics, Senator Obama has been a hypocrite from day one, decrying attack politics from one side of his mouth while he and his campaign wage a character assassination effort from the other,” Clinton spokesman Phil Singer added. “The juxtaposition of Senator Obama’s comments in the debate and the remarks made on his campaign conference call this afternoon prove the point.”

Senator Clinton clearly won the debate this week but I guess that fact has been lost with all of Obama’s whining. She is a far superior candidate while he is unelectable.

Sorry but Bill Clinton is not the greatest president we’ve had. He didn’t do anything but ride it out. They thought they would be a shoe in but Hillary only started with 200 of 800 Supers. They “thought” all the supers would be for her. Bills unfavorables have gone up.
Since when have Presidents created public sector jobs.? They can tax them out of the country tho. There have been more jobs created during the Bush adm than Clintons, even tho we did get an economical hit with 9=11. Taxes and un-employment were higher under Clinton. He gutted the military. He said he loathed it remember when he dodged the draft. He pardoned bad criminals for payoffs. Foreign money 500 million for his library. Sold missile tech to China. The tech. bubble burst, stock market ( your pension funds) went south. Terroists attacks on American embassies the Cole etc. Did nothing about it. Paid millions off to N. Korea, they laughed took it and went about their business. He lied to congress and got his law license yanked. Ignored the soc. sec. crises.
Hillary defended the black panthers. Looked for reasons for appeals.
He wants Hillary to win to help his legacy. He’ll go down as Medicore at best.
Don’t try to tell me he was great. We’ll let the historians be the judge of who is great.
Obama is worse. Saw with Russert tonight, the dem party is wondering what the heck they’ve done having these 2 running.
So which is it? Repubs voted for Hillary or Obama. I’ve heard it both ways. you forgot to mention the dems did it too. Doesn’t make any difference any way. People are free to vote any way they want. For the same reason they can’t have term limits on congress.
The press have made fools of themselves. I think some of them are getting embarassed. Serves them right for trying to shove an un-vetted Lefty Liberal on us. Thats the left stream media of course.

Kathy
more jobs created during the Bush adm
like to know where you got that phantom story from

.Politicians like to cherry-pick statistics that best fit their political agenda. When it comes to the current jobs situation, however, the Bush administration is out of luck.

Two government surveys measure employment. The payroll survey collects data from 400,000 employers and is the source of the official employment figures that are reported at the beginning of each month. The household survey, as its name suggests, collects its data from about 60,000 households. Both paint the picture of a recovery with the worst job creation record under Bush since the end of World War II.

Obama speeches are becoming more radical. He sounds kind a man on a quest for I am Not sure what. I just finished listening to him say we are fighting for our Independence. I thought our forefathers did this for us back in 1776. What Independence is he fighting for? Are we not already free to choose? When he opens his mouth he preaches (must of learned this tactic from rev.wright)he does not say much only tries to convince people that our country is in need of of radical change, are we a third world country, have any of our rights been violated do we still have freedom of speech are we being dragged from our homes for something we said or did, because we do n ot agree with our government I think not Do what Independence is he talking about? We are already free and America is the greatest country in the world Make him president and we just might become a third world counter he is to radical.

Clinton supporters need to get a life. I would suggest you start by learning to read. When you find out your
candidate is a liar and criminal…don’t be too emberassed….just cackle and go on as if nothing has happened!
That is what she does. She and Bill have been quite entertaining. At first her campaign was annoying…then it
became sort of funny…now it is just pathetic. Bye bye losers….see you in the funny papers…thanks for the laughs!!!!

Obama is a puppet of the FAR LEFT. Michael Moore, Louis Farrakkhan, ACLU, Code Pink, Moveon.org .. etc. They OWNED him, although obama himself may not realsed it now, but he will.

The policies that he endorsed will have to please all these FAR LEFT people. They will not only threatened the national security of this country, but cause further division within the nation.

This is the so-called “YES WE CAN, CHANGE” that he’s talking about.

 
Comment by John

On the issue of national security and illegal immgration.

Doesn’t matter what you think about GW Bush and his iraq policy.
The first question is: Do you believe that islamic radicalism /terrorism needs to be fought? Be it by military or other means?

So what will happen if obama is elected?
Obama, being an out-and-out far left liberal guy, will appoint the most liberal judges to the Courts. The ACLU and other anti-American organisations /forces will be empowered in this country. They owned obama. He is either in the same cahoot with them or too WEAK to stand up against against them. Just like he will not and did not stand up against Jeremiah Wright in the church for the past 20 years.

All those enemy combatants captured in Afganistan after 911 will all be released from Gitmo, and they will, with the help of ACLU etc. be suing the government of the United States. The liberal judges which obama appoints to the court will rule and order the US government to pay huge compensations to these “terrorists”.

What does it means? It will means that huge chunks of taxpayers money - our money - will be used to compensate these people. After these people get compensated, what do you think they will do?

The same applies for the issue illegal immigrantion. Obama will not pass or endorsed laws that will curb illegal immigration. The guy is FOR giving driving license to illegals. These are laws that pleases ACLU and all the FAR LET loons.

That’s why electing a strong and moderate president is important now.

VOTE HILLARY!

TO JACKSMITH, I GOTTA LOVE-YA KEEP POSTING WE ARE LISTENING,

 
Comment by John

Ari, you are really a obama goon. I have read many of your post. So correct me if I am wrong - You are a African-American, right?

Yes Gitmo will need to end some time in the future, just like the Iraq war. The question is HOW?

Hillary will close it down probably gradually and RESPONSIBLY. She, being a moderate, the judges that she appoints to the courts will also be moderate ones. Her policies will not be the ones that pleases the far far left. The ACLU and moveon.org all hated her. Don’t forget, her own city of New York was under assault during 911. She knows what are the consequence of being soft on terrorist.

Obama, on the other hand, owed his whole political career to the FAR FAR LEFT forces. That’s why he hung out with all the FAR LEFT people during the start of his political career in chicago. He will be their PUPPET. The ACLU, moveon.org, etc.. all lobbied for and endorsed obama. And why? Because they KNOW obama will champion their causes if he becomes president.

Obama himself being a FAR LEFT liberal guy himself, will appoint liberal judges that will sing along with the tunes ACLU etc. Remember, obama is FOR illegals getting driving license. This is a cause championed by the ACLU and other far left forces..

Very soon, you will witness terrorists / illegal immigrants going to court to sue the US government, and get compensated with millions of your tax dollars..

So vote obama if you want more illegal immigrants in your city, and full constituional rights given to suspected terrorists! Vote on that with your “good conscions”.

 
Comment by John

One more point on the issue of national security and obama.

During the debates and on the campaign trail, obama claimed he is a toughguy wants to get tough on fighting terrorism in Afganistan. This is all campaign rhetoric stuff…

Will all the Anti-american and FAR LEFT LIBERAL forces lobbying for him, I really like to know how will obama, as president, deal with all the so-called enemy combatants captured there?

 
Comment by Sherry Martinez

All I have been hearing from Obama is Hilary this Hilary that . Is this what he said he would not do in his campaign., not do what he calls the old ways of Washington Politics. He says he is fighting for our Independence. Independence from what? Are we not already free to do as we wish in America. Did our forefathers not do this for us in 1776. Are we children that we have to be told by a Far Left Politician that we must fight for our Independence from our leaders in Washington whom we elect because he says they are not for the people. Sounds to me that he is trying to divide this country not bring it together. He Preaches he does not give speeches . Are we all so naive that we can not see what this man is all about? That he is for Obama and Obama only. Are we oppressed by our government? .Has our government taken away any of our inalienable rights ? He wants to change the way our country is being run that the old ways are not good for us any longer. That he has a plan to make it all much better for us Americans .We really know nothing of this man. But what we have learned in the last few weeks is not good. Wake up Obama people , he has you all fooled . You will regret you voted for him . He is not the answer to our problems he is not a god he is only a man who talks good looks good and fills you all with a hope that will not happen not the way he wants you to believe anyway GO HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recent news item … more insight into what Barak Obama really represents:

“Sen. Barack Obama is defending his relationship with William Ayers, a professor who was once part of the radical Weather Underground and spent years as a fugitive after a 1970 explosion that killed three members of the group.”

 
Comment by Independent

Comment made by Barak Obama associate, Mr. Ayers:

“Mr. Ayers said in a New York Times interview — coincidentally published Sept. 11, 2001 — that “I don’t regret setting bombs, I feel we didn’t do enough.”

The type of people you want to be friends with … rivaled only by the likes of Rev. Wright.

 
Comment by Independent

Interesting how these extreme left wing people, like Mr. Ayers, can be involved in bombings and the killing of people, and then become a professor at the University of Chicago. Kind of guys you want teaching your children.

I am beginning to find the types of people that Barak Obama has associated with during his life truly amazing … Rev. Wright, Mr. Ayers, and on and on. No wonder he is always trying to change the subject. No wonder he was annoyed with the discussion in the recent debate. The guy wants to cover up his past. It is amazing that people would even consider this guy as a candidate for President. But then again, you can’t expect a lot from little Dean in the DNC, Ted Kennedy and many of these other people that are pushing him as the Democratic candidate … they demonstrate how much they really “hate” Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Ari, Our newspapers published yesterday that it was a good year for registrations. However, it did not top the record of 2004. I think when Obama got here and started pushing the college students to register, the deadline for the primaries had expired.

 
Comment by Leslie Ramirez

It is so comical watching the hypocrisy of some people, especially media personalities. You all want Obama to denounce a guy (Rev. Wright) for his distasteful remarks about America, but you faint over the Pope and the whole Catholic Church even after the knowledge of thousands of kids being raped and molested for years under the leadership and guidance of these Catholic Priest. Why hasn’t anyone asked the candidates why don’t they denounce the Catholic Church? I’m sure fair-minded people would see the hypocrisy in blaming any one candidate for the actions of a group of people they may know, but would never agree with their deeds, as foolish, even if they choose to continue to be practicing Catholics. If you are a Catholic and you have passed judgement on Reverend Wright, tell me this. Why didn’t you get up and leave the Catholic Church or denounce it, after you learned of the widespread molestation of little boys that has been going on for years. Oh I know. This question makes me Anti-American or Anti-Catholic. Isn’t that the way you people play the hypocrisy game? Stop your small-mindedness and let people choose someone who can possibly help them help their family keep their home, or help them help send their child to college. Americans who truly love this country don’t fall for these deceptive tactics by people who have their own hidden agendas. Make up your own minds.

Obama would be a disaster if he is the nominee. Vote for Hillary, she’s the best.
