If it's a petty issue, then why did Obama raise it?
I see Obama supporters claiming that this issue of how long Obama has been planning to run for president is a petty one. So then why did Obama raise it?

3. Did you see everyone laughing, someone asked him something about
it and he laughingly said I n d o n e s i a with a big accent and cracked everyone up. The newscaster said that is all he has to say on the campaign trail now and it gets a big laugh.

2. He, didn't the press corps and Iowans and most everyone else
is the ones laughing about it. Dan Abrams, David Schuster, Tweety, etc. they all say it is totally a show of the clinton campaign being in a panic stage.

10. What is there to trust, it is such an idiot move. Also, if you had read
my entire post, I said Iowans as David Abrams was reading new polls where most everyone actualy finds it unbelievable about such a thing.

Again, what is there to trust? It is all total fact what she did and they have admitted it by trying to say now it was just a joke.

It is a joke and its on them.

14. LOL, if that is the best comeback, I see your pain and admittance that
it was a very, very stupid move on the Clinton's campaign which has been proven and still being laughed at by the masses including Obama and regretted by the Clinton campaign strategist on MSNBC last night.

18. I think the damage done to Obama
will be ultimately worse.

1) reveals, despite his claims, that he has always wanted to be President
2) shows him as a man with no sense of humor

The only thing it does to Hillary is show her to be exactly who she has always been.
Everyone knows Hillary. People either like her for this, or hate her for this already.

Won't affect her much at all --it will affect Obama.

20. Thats right, I think everyone gets angy at a little boy who said he
wanted to be president, lol and nobody is laughing at the Clinton campaign for that attack more than himself.

However, I would suggest you catch some of the comments from the people in Iowa on it.

Even her campaign strategist on MSNBC last night admitted, probably would not do it at least in the way it was done if had to do over.

Like said before, panic, desperate and scarred.

They just talked about it again, a 9 to 10 point drop.

25. Do you really believe that?
Do you really believe that attacking a 3rd grade essay of a candidate is appropriate?

28. Do you really believe it was an attack?
Maybe Obama and his supporters need to go back to puffin' on joints and mellow a little bit.

6. No, Obama raised the issue
Edited on Tue Dec-04-07 11:05 AM by cuke
by falsely claiming that he hasn't been planning on running for president for as many years as the other candidates

I see at least one Obama supporter is unfamiliar with what Obama said

19. The fact is, Obama lied and hid the fact that he has been thinking about this his entire life
and you're trying to hide the fact that Obama was the one who was being petty

26. Funny how everyone forgets that part. He brought it up in the first
place and I still can't figure out the point of that.Who cares how long someone has
thought about being the president?

Hillary throws back a snarky comment and they all piss their pants over it

I still don't get it

8. No one forced Hillary and Co. to go back to Obama's grade school years.
They did that all on their own. They have no one to blame but themselves when everyone is laughing their asses off at the ridiculous kindergarten "proof".

Absolutely no defense for Obama's pettiness. How predictable. It's petty, but they're offended by a joke.

22. I sid this before,
Clinton made a joke, but Obama was very serious when he brought up his years from 4 to 10 as foreign policy experience. Obama brought up the meme that Hillary was running for the presidency for 20 years, and now she's fighting back.

24. I wonder how much sarcasm would drip from the keyboards of
the Obama groupies if Hillary Clinton had said she wrote and essay in the second grade saying she wanted to be the first woman president of the United States.

Post after post after post after post 24/7.

27. Another Bitwit typical bashing post. What Hillary did is factual but you as usual
Edited on Tue Dec-04-07 03:25 PM by EV_Ares
make up something if you have nothing else.

There is no other Hillary supporter that does more sarcasm, bashing, made up stuff than you. You surpass all others as well in posts like these that are just made up and produce no value. Try doing a productive post or one that can bring others together in a positive way of discussion.

You are irrelevant with this kind of stuff.
