New Hillary Ad: “What Has Happened To Barack Obama?”
by Aaron Bruns
Team Clinton releases a tough last-minute ad accusing Barack Obama of being out of touch with working class Americans for opposing a federal gas tax holiday. The :30 spot starts running in North Carolina today.
“He is attacking Hillary’s plan to give you a break on gas prices because he doesn’t have one,” says the narrator in betwen interviews with people who say they’re affected by the high cost at the pump.
Releasing attack ads on the day before a primary has been the pattern for the Clinton campaign since March 4th; the strategy has worked pretty well for them since then, with wins in OH, TX, and PA.

What do you mean what happen to Barrack Obama?
DON’T YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHERE IS HE??
Obama is now busy performing miracles!
This is a must see campaign!
Since a lot of people believed that obama is their “savior”?
Obama might perform miracle during the campaign rally?
This is the moment for Stevie Wonder?
He will receive sight! Obama promised for a CHANGE!
If this won’t happen? Pastor Wright might recite a bible passage that says:
Matt. 15: 14
14 Let them alone: they be a blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch…

This is a great Ad. Right to the point. Hillary has solutions. BHObama does not, so all he can do is attack. He’s just a politician who will say and do anything to win. This time his pastor is right.
You go Hillary! Because he doesn’t have a short term solution he is against it.The American people would be very happy to have a Gas Tax Hoilday. We know that this is not the solution for high gas prices, but there should be something done right away to help people at the pump.. She haS OTHER LONG TERM PLANS ,but they will take longrt to approve or implement. I think it’s a great short term solution.I am proud of you Hillary.Obama has no iniciatives, he copies every single plan she comes up with.Indiana and North Carolina please vote for Hillary she really cares about the American people.
He deserves it for running an ad against her Gas tax credit - he did go negative about this issue first. He’s not running his “positive” campaign; all he’s been doing is bashing all of her ideas instead of concentrating on what he’ll do for you.
He looks more defeated every day. Maybe he could come here and be the scarecrow I need for my garden. That way he can SAVE me from having to drive to the store for my veggies.
Right, now Hillary looks like the candidate. Lets see if she will celebrate with you Kathy and JoAnne if she do win. Lets see if she will have that toast with the special interest that is running her campaign. Hmmmm funny. Then she has this one from Ohio, congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs. She is the worst and I can’t believe Hillary have her in her corner. She has some skeletons in her closet.
This is all OBAMA does during campaign:

It was tried in Illinois during the summer and it didn’t work. Obama knows this and is trying to tell it like it is. Hillary is telling like she wants you to think it is. Anything to get elected.
I believe that Obama is handling this ‘gas holiday’ better than Hillary is. He bases his statements on facts garnered from economists in the know, where Hillary is not giving any evidence that the gas savings will actually benefit the American people. This is only one of the points that bothers me (and possibly many others). Understanding how influential media is in presenting these points (not necessarily the facts)of each candidate, the employment of research into the accomplishments of each is necessary in order to make the right choice. Use of the internet for such research at best, results in a co-mingling of views. This again, results in separating ‘points’ from ‘facts’. However, the facts are there.
This Rev. Wright business is thrown out there to create confusion and in many cases explosive controversies. Any intelligent person will recognize the imbalance of this, particularly if they dig into the history of Hillary Clinton. A point of fact - In attacking Obama with the ‘guilt by association’ issue, an equally damaging association could be Hillary’s relationship with Jean Houston, founder of ‘Foundation of Mind Research, 1965; The Possible Society, 1984; The Mystery School’. Houston’s past influence had reached even the White House. During numerous lengthy stays with Hillary Clinton, Houston has led the First Lady into guided imagery (meditation) sessions to contact and consult with Eleanor Roosevelt (Newsweek, July 1, 1996). Now in and of itself this doesn’t raise any many brows, but when understanding Houston’s background, we find that she and her husband Robert Masters, developed the ASCID (Altered States of Consciousness Induction Device) better known as ‘the Witches Cradle. Now why doesn’t this raise any controversy? Again, intelligent people have to question if Hillary is guided in her decisions by mediums. President Regan and his wife Nancy would use Jean Dixon’s help in the White House, and this didn’t sit well with Congress or the American people. I consider mediums to be ‘oridinary’ people, and would hate to think that an ‘ordinary’ person was influencing the dicisions on how this country is run.
Here Compare for yourselfs who would you rather have as a president. This was a question they asked “what would happen if Iran atacked Israel?
Hillary’s response……….
“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran,” Clinton said in an interview with ABC. “In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.”
NOW I believe every true American will agree with that statement, well not every american
Obama being the coward that he’s had this to say……….
“It’s not the language we need right now, and I think it’s language reflective of George Bush. We have had a foreign policy of bluster and saber rattling and tough talk and in the meantime have made a series strategic decisions that have actually strengthened Iran,” Obama said.
Give me a break what is this guy thinking? I guess after Iran nukes Israel Obama will sit down and talk peace. Once again he proves on what side he’s on. Please NC and IN don’t let anybody fool you vote smart.
To Kathy,
I agree with you that he looks beat up. I do not think he has what it takes to be President. He seems out of energy and enthusiasm. Hillary always looks like she is ready to roll up her sleeves and start working.Ihave a colleague at work that used to support Obama, but this morning she told me that Hillary shows that she really cares about the American people.She has more passion in her to lead our country.

Comment by RJ:
To say that you are a very very SMALL person would be putting it mildly! Your comments are disgusting, pathetic and repulsive! You probably wouldn’t show up in the gene pool! Regarding things that matter - you don’t!
Bella in Florida
when your not use to working for a living and you just vote present, and have only sponsored 2 bills in 3 years, one of which was to rename a post office, A campaign like this can take its toll, but nothing like the oval office,
He is not ready
Obama moves amd talks in slow motion.He drives me crazy when he starts stuttering.
The great thing about the government in our country is, last time I checked, a presidential candidate does not have the power to cut any taxes. But, I guess if you believe she can just by saying it, then it must be true. Gullible much? I hope do don’t go out and spend your $32.00 just yet. Because it isn’t going to happen
Hillary rates high among montly wage earners of less than $5,000 and Obama rates highest among monthly wage earners of $7,500 or more and that should tell the low and middle class hard working Americans that Obama is for the rich and blacks!
I’m struggling like everyone else with the cost of gas. I wish people would really think about this gas tax holiday. It will cause the prices to go up. The demand will go up, so the oil companies will raise the prices And let’s not forget about the Highway Fund. It is estimated to take away 9 billion dollars for the fund. We already don’t have enough for our infrastructure as it is.
Besides people, how will she (or McCain for that matter) implement this? We have 3 weeks until Memorial Day. Has Congress EVER acted that fast. Remember, President Bush is the one who has to sign the legislation and the CURRENT congress has to write it and pass it first. She want’s windfall profit tax to pay for the loss of the highway fund (she’a already promised those taxes to some other programs). Does anybody really believe that Congress is going to pass anything right now for a tax increase?
This is pure political pandering (which ALL candidates do). But to give people a FALSE hope with 3 weeks until the proposed timeframe is not good.
There is NOTHING government can do to bring down the gas prices except open up more land for drilling so we can produce our OWN oil. Even that is going to take time.
Obama looks less presidential in the last couple of months, than he did previously.
He looks somewhat defeated, and the confidence he had, has gone. If the media did not
give hime a free ride by letting him say whatever he wanted without asking tough
questions, he would not have picked up all those early delegates.
The democrats cannot win back the White House if Obama is the candidate. To much baggage,
now and I am sure there is more to come.
Yeah right…Obama can not fool us anymore and the entire Americans…flip flop.
By the way, Obama doesn’t know what relief and holiday means. Gas relief/holiday is temporary relief and any relief is good and is good for the Americans. If you are opposed then Obama and Bloomberg are no good for America. They are out of touch with then average Americans. Wake up superdelegates. The one who are dumb are Bloomberg and Obama. Oh by the way maybe the words relief and holiday are not in Obama’s dictionary but only the words bitter, clinging, mocked Wirhgt, Rezco , and Ayers. Shame on you!
Obama’s top ten lists should be:
1. Wright told America I’m just a Politician. Oops…that is true.
2. I’m so eloquent…oops my writer wrote it.
3. This is my economic plan…oops I forgot to ask my advisers first and I’m waiting for Hillary’s lead. I don’t want to be a Flip Flop on issues again.
4. Let’s stick to the actual issue..oops, Michelle and Caroline should say that at CNN..
5. Come on Hillary’s defectors and join me…oops do you think you can fool me I will defect also after I win and resurrect my loyal friends Wright, Rezco, and Ayers
6. Bitter and clinging - oops those are not in my dictionary, oops I got it from Wright.
7. Yeah, Wright mocked the Americans and I will lie by saying what he said is offensive….remember I’m a politician.
8. I’m electable…oops Hillary won the big states and has more electoral college votes to date that are crucial in November. Anyway, I fooled the superdelegates including the traitors.
9. Oops….I forgot what to say…where are my advisers.
10. Vote for Hillary…oops vote for me.
Before you can have CHANGE, we first need SOLUTIONS and that is HILLARY.
Michelle even brought Caroline with her. You can not fool us anymore. You are just all Politicians. Obama, Wright, Rezco and Ayers are all a disgrace to all American. After bitter remarks by Obama and Wrights mocking the American, then let’s just forget about it. Yeah right. If this happened with Hillary for sure you are all jumping for joy. You can not fool us anymore and stop the lies…lies…lies…
Shame on those superdelegates that support Obama. They only think of their personal interest. If Obama wins, it will only be a repeat of Bush administration (a trainee who doesn’t know what to do until he asks his advisers first). Wake up superdelegates!
Hillary won the big states and has more electoral college votes to date than Obama that are crucial in November. Wake up superdelegates.
Senator Hillary is very accurate about this fact:
“He is attacking Hillary’s plan to give you a break on gas prices BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE ONE”
Obama is saying that this is just a gimmick… No quick fix on gas price and that Pres. Bush will not act on this?
Is Obama right? Pres. Bush just told the media that there is no quick fix on gas prices???
OBAMA IS ON THE PAGE WITH BUSH! HE WILL NOT ACT ON ANY PLAN TO GIVE GAS CONSUMERS EVEN A SHORT BREAK. SHAME ON YOU OBAMA!
OBAMA HAS THE SAME MIND SET WITH PRESIDENT BUSH!!!
I THOUGHT HE SAID NO MORE YEARS FOR BUSH-LIKE ADMINISTRATION????
VOTE SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON AS PRESIDENT 2008
A few minutes ago, Maggie Williams (subprime loan lender advocate), Clinton’s top strategist who replaced Penn, was asked if she thought that the Clinton gas tax holiday would happen. Her response was that it PROBABLY WONT, but people like knowing that someone is fighting for them.
Oh my goodnes, I feel like we are playing kids’ games!
BHO does not have any plan, just speeches and speeches ( remember that he had one in Philly too ).
He has no visions .. his wife & daughters continued to listen to those provocative comments day in and day out.
He has no judgment otherwise he would not have taken 20 years to realize what his pastor thinks.
The only CHANGE that he means is the way Mr. Wright thinks.
For every good idea that Hillary throws up for Americans, he comes out with stupid comments trying to confuse us.
Simply put, BHO is Bitter about the Gas Tax Holiday and CLINGS to his stupid comments out of frustration on losing.
He is the out of touch person that wants to lead our country. Obama, people do want the Gas Tax Holiday what is the matter with you? Wake up Obama!!For Obama it does not matter because he thinks it’s just a couple of bucks only and that it won’t help people much ,but for a lot of people it means a lot. He is just putting it down because it didn’t think about it first.
I can’t believe so many people in america believe the Hillary will get the gas holiday pass.All
obama is wright
but
wright is wrong
Shall Hillary stop thinking of Good Ideas just because it won’t get passed ?
I agree with BHO that Hillary isn’t (W)right …… she is Hillary … she is just Right .
Too much religion in the White House
Just say no to Obama
Obama has no substance (plans). All he can do is criticize all the other candidates’ plan of action and ideas. What a waste. But hopefully you all will elect him as Democrat nominee in primaries so that McCain will win in November!
$$$$How many millions of workers dollars$$$$
$$$$are being flushed down the clinton toilet$$$$
$$$$by afscme ?$$$$
At this point in the game any kind of relief or any kind of political movement againt the oil companies is welcome, I’m not going to sit here and tell everyone It’s a bad Idea is not going to work, I’M SORRY BUT GAS IS GOING UP EVERYDAY IF WE THE PEOPLE DON’T STAND UP TO THESE GAS COMPANIES OR THE SYSTEM THERE WILL BE NO END TO THE SURGE, WE NEED TO STOP LISTENING TO POLITICIANS TELLING US WHAT’S GOING TO GO UP OR DOWN, HOW WE WILL EVER FIND OUT. DO YOUR THING HILLARY FIGHT ON, BECAUSE I DON’T MAKE MILLIONS LIKE OBAMA TO SIT HERE PRETTY WHILE THE MONEY I HAVE TO FEED MY FAMILY GOES DOWN MY TANK OF DUEL.
Please Indiana and North Carolina,
Vote for Hillary, she is the only one that can bring any change to our country.Obama is not realistic when he keeps saying that he is going to change the way Washington does things. Is he going to get rid of everyone in Washington. Obama is being naive and inexperienced.He is not going to be able to get anything done without fighting hard for it. He thinks that if he is the President everyone is going to to do everything he says. that tells you that he is out of touch with reality.Hillary knows how Washington works,. She will fight and work hard to get things done, He already looks tired and he has only been campaigning.Our future is in your hands, I also think he will lose against McCain and we will be stuck another 8 years with the same Bush policies.
Obama voted FOR Dick Cheney’s Energy Bill. Hillary voted against it. I don’t trust Obama. He has taken more money from oil executives that any other candidate.
For sure the tax break option won’t fix all the problems, but at least it’s doing SOMETHING about it.
NORTH CAROLINA AND INDIANA FOR HILLARY
I find the number of sheep here amazing. Regardless of your politics, do you really believe a “gas tax holiday” is the answer? Some math…
1. Effective 26 May 08 stop federal taxing at the pump and bill the oil companies. approx 17 cents.
2. “Oil Companies” … hmmm, I’m short 9 billion this month since the government took…guess I raise prices 17 cents a gallon so I can cover the debt the government just gave me.
3. Effective Labor Day…time to put the federal tax back in…”Oil Companies”…hmmmm, your government just raised the price of gasoline, we didn’t, so we’re not reducing anything.
and the rich get richer as more people buy into voodoo economics…
Patricia,
The reason her advisor answered “no” is because the proposal has to be signed by George Bush first. And he won’t sign it. Unfortunately, we’re stuck in this until January. If you want 4 more years of the same vote for McCain. If you want lots of spending and an ineffective president vote for Obama. If you want a fighter that will make some positive changes vote for Hillary. It’s that simple.
Just read comment of the “Black Lady” —Hope you all have a read on this one!!! It gives a true picture of who HRC really is. Anything to get elected.
Obama tell us the truth about the Fed. gas tax. Congress would first have to approve this and can NOT do this before the election. Ask the people in Minn. about the bridge that failed.
Ask about the 250,000 jobs that would be lost without this revenue. Think People–THINK!!!!
You may save 18cents—but the road funds would lose MILLIONS!!!! Can’t rob peter to pay paul. NO pun intended. Check out Paul VS CLINTON>
When any democrat says that they are willing to let go a tax for any period of time you must take them up on that immediately before they realize what they have said!!! Tax raises are like the “gravy on rice” comparsion to the democrates….the vehicle to expanded government and increased program which often do not provide the support intended; an example…the great society program. You would think they would have understood with the vast moneys squandered on the great society that simply throwing money at any program often times does little to correct the real problem.
On a separate topic, I have seen where a liberal paper has expanded from Obama has questions about patriotism to trying to suggest that question arising from him is being suggested to apply to all blacks…..a total misrepresentation! True…the mannerism and potential belief structure on Obama raises concerns but not at all trying to “broad brush” all blacks….like Wright trying to suggest attacks on him implicate all black churches…not! This type of expanding an issue to involve all members when only one is the question is a typical far left liberal ploy. A perfect example, besides Wright, is Obama’s race speech….suggesting that the topic was to be a subject of discussion only to call all the discussion members who voiced opinions afterwards as racist thoughts.
For you Indiana voters out there; before you go to the polls tomorrow I recommend you take 22 seconds out of your day and see what Clinton campaign staffers really think of you. I believe the quote was ‘Look at Indiana’….’those people aren’t s**t’. This video is from the War Room during the Mr. Hillary elections and this guy is still on board! Maybe it’s time that all dirty laundry be aired.
Very entertaining.

It seems like a statement that doesn’t agree with economic theory, i think Hillary is bluffing on this one.
Just goes to show you that Hill/Bill know what works with blue collar people and will say anything to get elected. They make me sick…will have to move to Europe if she is pres. The only consolation is that, if she gets to be in the White House and she obliterates Iran, doesn’t change anything much and changes positions according to polls as usual, at least I can say, TOLD YOU SO.
It seems that he is afraid to stand up to these oil companies. That is exactly what he is going to do. Well, let’s talk about it, let’s sit back and wait to see what happens. NO!, we need someone who is going to fight for us not just give speeches.
Do any of you Hillary supporters actually believe that the oil companies will lower the gas prices if the gas tax is repealed for the summer?
If any of you do, than it is easy to see why you’re for Hillary. You are incredibly gullible and will believe any lie that is told to you.
Anyone who wants to give me a temporary break on gas prices I’ll thank very much. It’s more like a stay of execution for me and my family. I’m an independent owner (don’t get excited I still am a member of the Teamsters) long distance hauler and it is about as tough as it gets right now. Any help we can get is appreciated. I don’t have any bones to pick with Senator Obama but if he thinks this wouldn’t help, he’s just plain wrong.

_______________________________________________________
As I explained earlier, the oil companies won’t lower the price of gas because Clinton wants to make them pay more taxes. They’ll pass this tax increase on to you, the consumer. This doesn’t work because it has been tried before and the oil companies did not lower the gas price.
Hillary knows this. She is counting on voters to believe that oil companies will actually lower prices even though she knows they won’t.
DON’T BE FOOLED BY HER. SHE IS EVIL!!!!!!
I am not from this country. I don’t have a vote. In India, we would love for Hillary Clinton to be elected, - she is the queen of outsourcing and a great friend of indian industry. But I personally admire Obama, he reminds me of Gandhi. YEs,m Gandhi was a politician too, but one who tried to bring ethics into it and was much misunderstood in his time. and hated by many people,. and ultimately shot dead by right wing nationalists who thought he was too liberal.
Obama gets his inspiration from Martin Luther King, who in turn got his inspiration from Gandhi.
And Gandhi was inspired by Abraham Lincoln. So, I see that you guys are too scared to elect a man like Obama, which is too bad for you and too bad for much of the world. But great for India!

I understand this is theme for Hillary campaign but we need to go beyond that gas tax relief and be aware of Obama Global Poverty Act which imposes 845 billion dollars from our weak economy to assist the third world countries under the form of welfare assistance. We do not live in a 1.6 million dollar home. Heck, some of us eat maccarony and hot dog for lunch while a wardlords having a t-bone steak in another continent. Hospitality should be at home first.

But not the one where he called them sh1t.
Here are links to a lot of information connecting Obama, Ayers, Wright and Dohrn.
Everyone who is concerned about this, please, read and pass the information on!
I am breaking the links so that they will post……put http:// before each link!
This one is an article written by Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayer’s wife. If you listen to the speeches Barack and Michelle give, you will connect the two. It’s the “change” folks:
monthlyreview.org/0703dohrn.htm
This one is from FactCheck and it references other links and connects the dots on a lot of things:
justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2008/04/just-fact-check.html
This is from CampaignSpot and it gives info on Obama’s training as a community activist/agitator and describes the real Obama under the shiny suits:
campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MzkwZDYxMjEzZjdmMWZjYjA3OGYxOTk1MmFkYWNmMGI=
This is an article from a newswire out of Jerusalem that connects Obama with a PLO group through one of his campaign fundraisers Rashid Khalidi:
209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:X2dwuCniwbgJ:bobmccarty.com/2008/02/25/obama-worked-with-terrorist-expert-says/+Woods+Fund+Ayers&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=10&gl=us
This has some links re Michelle Obama, and Obama and Wright’s connections to Nation of Islam:
justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2008/04/obama-and-ayers.html
This is a link to an article by a media reporter who describes the Rezko connection to Obama:
humanevents.com/article.php?print=yes&id=25950
This is info on The Woods Fund of Chicago, whose board Obama and Ayers were on together.
Note the organizations they support, the names (including Soros), and the far left agendas:
discoverthenetworks.org/funderprofile.asp?fndid=5340&category=79
These are a few of the organizations that were awarded funds from The Woods Fund. I don’t have information on whether Obama was on the board when these exact funds were awarded, but my guess is he was. Again, notice the agends and the names (including Soros):
discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6434
discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6725
discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp/grpid=6462
Please pass on!!!
Does that make Senator McCain evil too? I hope you don’t consider yourself the only one on this blog who thinks for themself. I am fully aware that this is a pay me now or pay me later proposition. I need the help now. of course the oil companies aren’t going to take the loss. Taxes are just part of the overhead. Are you opposed to it because you are supporting Senator Obama and he didn’t come up with the idea? You only mentioned Hillary in your response.
It’s irrelevant who proposes a “gas tax holiday”, such a ruse solves nothing.
It’s an election year pandering effort, that will ultimately be paid for by you, the tax payer, in the long run.
The three candidates themselves are part of the problem, since they all oppose new/increased domestic oil production - and that, is idiotic.
On the original he is saying something about the whitehouse, on the doctored version it is changed to indiana
When you put down someone by calling them eveil is very sad. There is nothing evil about Hillary . She really cares about people. Why do you think so many people are supporting her.
RAJ, thank you for your input. Keep your sacarstic remarks along with your curry in India. I do not like the smell of curry. Somebody please wash your old socks!

She is evil because she will lie, cheat and steal to get power. The intelligent people realize this and that is why most college educated people support Obama. It is only the naive that fall for her lies.
No sorry, this is not the doctored one. This is the only piece left on You Tube. The Doctored one is when he allegedly refers to them as “white Nig**rs and something about the White House. I agree that one was a stretch and certainly not convincing to me. I watched about 40 minutes of this yesterday and there is plenty to giggle about.
IN and NC, come join the wave started by Tx, Ohio, and PA. Let’s show the DNC and the superdelegates how you feel about obama!
VOTE HILLARY 05/06/08
This is just another example of the ELITIST ATTITUDE of Obama and his supporters. On one hand you have a struggling populace looking for any break they can get regardless of it’s longevity and on the other hand you have Obama and his elitist gang of snobs who can’t relate to them.
It’s a wonder that the jerks didn’t label McCain’s and Clinton’s plan as RACIST. It’s got to be Racist if it didn’t originate with them.

Why isn’t Fox taking a more in depth look at the Gas Tax Holiday? Yes, it is only band-aid on a huge problem. Yes, the average urban driver may only be saving about $30 a day. But what about rural driver? What about the people who might actually pull out the RV this summer?
More importantly–What a about the farming, logging, construction, and transportation industries? How many thousands could these employer’s save on this summer? Could we also see a drop in prices that are rising due to transportation costs? Could there be a drop in the cost to produce food?
Fox–dig deeper into this! You have the resources. Give people the complete picture of its effects.
I think if people start thinking past their own pocket book, many would realize that the Gas Tax Holiday could stimulate economic growth greater than they ever thought.

We are not elitist. However, we are smarter than you. Hillary’s gas tax plan won’t work. It is based on the assumption that the oil companies will lower the price of gas. Only the naive will believe that. John McCain believes in the plan but he admits that he does not understand economics. That must mean that Hillary doesn’t understand economics either.

Getting a college education doesn’t make us elitist. It just means we are smarter than you.
It is over Obama. You are toast!
Hillary Clinton 2008 and 2012 - America’s Margaret Thatcher!
Obama - the candidate of obfuscation, misinformation and far left ideology!
Frodo Baggins,
Did you see Dean say yesterday that a Republican ad was race baiting. Dean and the DNC are so far up obama butt it is hillarious to watch! I love when a white man tells black America what is racist or what is offensive, but then again who better?
Thanks John and Hillary for Caring,
I agree with you that Hillary really cares about the American people. I am not saying it because of her tax relief proposal I am saying it because she has been fighting for the American people for many years. It’s a shame that Obama is bashing her proposal because it will bring some relief to many American families that really need it. I think he is afraid that many Americans do like the idea and he didn’t think of it first. We all know that it is not a long term solution but it will help people now. Reporters on MSNBC are trying so hard today to discredit her proposal.They are so biased against her. If the media had their way, they would just give him the keys to the White House and kick Bush out.
Jim,
A-wipe I have a Masters degree, but that doesn’t make smarter then you. The fact that I am supporting Hillary does!
It’s not fair the way the media has been an Obama pep squad. If you have a different view or outlook on Obama, your message pretty much isn’t posted. I have not decided to judge and hate Hillary on what her husband does or did. She’s been branded as a liar. That’s wrong. And that is what american’s have done. If that’s the case, then we all should be held responsible to some degree for what our own spouses have done or will do. American say’s that it is no reflection on Obama what his pastor Rev. Wright has said or done, but isn’t that a relationship. A 20 year relationship. You don’t stay anywhere for this length of time unless you agree with the views of an individual. I mean that’s what we seem to have judged Hillary for, staying with her husband after his shortcomings. Or only some should be held to a higher standard. Rev. Wright is a charasmatic, charming preacher who grabbed and keep the attention of his members, “whatever he preached, people wanted to hear, because they stayed there. I feel Obama has learned a lot of things from Rev. Wright, expecially telling people what he thinks they want to hear. How can you have “A New Politics, A New Washington” getting rid of the old politics? When you still have the old politicians running it. Many don’t want Hillary to win, because she won’t be pushed around and already know how they work in Washington. Obama is going to get a lot of advice and direction from these old politicians, because he’s new to the game. Four years from now, we’ll be looking at the same old politics as usual, if not worse. This is politics guys and these are politicians, if they aren’t the old washington, give it time, they will be. That’s just my opinion.
Senator Obama is just another politician looking for a promotion. That’s fine, ambition gets things done, but he’s not some messiah sent to set America upon a different path, because he’s getting to Washington using the same old path the other politicians took.
A lot of good men and women have gone to Washington, but Washington hasn’t sent very many back to us when it’s done with them.
Jim,
the oil companies will lower the price of gas? The market determines the price of Gas! Again how smart are you?
Maybe you don’t understand what a Tax Holiday is or none has ever occurred in your area. The price of whatever you’re buying is reduced by the tax. They do them in many cities with school supplies and clothing. Is it pay me now or pay me later as the trucker stated, hell yes. Some where along the line the government will have to recoop the lost revenue.
Try taking your head out of Obama’s butt long enough for your brain to get a little air. Your only opposition to the tax holiday is that your guy didn’t propose it.
AND..incidently a jerk like you who thinks himself more intellegent than others is the very definition of an Elitist. You are superior to no one.
Trying to take your head out of Obama’s butt….Frodo, what do you thinkl, homes. I shis butt 50/50 half black and half white.
