Related: About this forumHillary, stop using President Obama as a political weapon!
I'm am so sick of Hillary Clinton using President Obama as a campaigning tool. Question: "Hey, Mrs. Clinton, how can you claim you will be tough on Wall Street, even though you take millions of dollars from big Wall Street donors?" Answer: "OBAMA!!" Q: "Hey, Mrs. Clinton, do you think Dodd-Frank is tough enough on Wall Street?" A: "OBAMA!!! Are you attacking Obama!!??" She brought him up so many times in last nights debate that I had to stop watching. It makes me sick! Hillary, Bernie isn't running against Barack Obama, he is running against YOU! You smeared Barack Obama ruthlessly in 2008. You said "Shame on you Barack Obama." while talking about his Healthcare proposals which you now practically claim as your own. You even went so far as to claim you weren't sure Barack Obama was a Christian in 2008. Secretary, you are not Barack Obama. His achievements are not your achievements. If someone is critical of you, they are being critical of YOU not Barack Obama. Stop using him as a political tool, it is extremely distasteful!

Bernie would have to get up early in the morning to be her when it comes to slandering Obama.

All in all, I'd say that's a pretty good gamble.

(25,699 posts)They just happen to support her overt racism because they are themselves racist motherfuckers. Even those who don't support her anti-black 2008 shit, support her now because she's running against a Jew
We're supposed to pretend that never happened!

The very idea that, for example, someone might attend a conference on social justice out of conviction is being mocked by the pep squad here. They can't comprehend a person actually caring about justice. What a geek!

Frankly, I would bet the farm that the reason for the private email server was not so that she could keep her beloved BlackBerry or whatever, but so that she could conduct business without the president knowing what she was up to.
He's a smart man. I'm sure he knows not to turn his back on her.
*And I really think "under the bus" needs to go under the bus. Anyone know of a good alternative?

(311 posts)those gif's...I think that's them?...with her seeing questions...she don't like/can't answer/won't answer...as incoming and pulling President Obama in front of her as her shield from it.
Anyway, it disgusts me how she cowers behind saying "Obama" now, when in '08 Obama stances were fairy tales, rainbows and unicorns.
Did anyone keep count of how many times she did that last night?
