The next flap: Clinton MOCKS Obama on the stump...

[polichick]

CNN just showed live footage of Hillary at a rally in Rhode Island where she mimics Obama making over-the-top statements about how wonderful and easy it's going to be to change things.

This one will come back to bite her too.

No video available yet; they're still streaming the event. Did anyone else see this?

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Oh yeah, I saw it...

:o

That was fugly.

[sloppyjoe25s]

157. Funniest Part - Obama's been saying "Change is Hard" since early 2007

And even in his speech announcing his candidacy - he says "This will not be easy"

In fact - "Change is Hard" and change requires participation - is practically the central theme of his campaign.

That is precisely why his message is compelling - because he speaks to the need for ALL of us to WORK for change.
Not just talk.

Can't wait to see another idiotic attempt by Mark Penn & Mrs. Clinton blow up in their faces! ROFLMAO!

[krkaufman]

163. And he emphasizes the need to grow our coalition, bringing in independents and Republicans...

... in order to create a *WORKING* majority that can effect the change.

[stillrockin]

2. Hmm, exactly when did he say it would be easy?

[MoJoWorkin]

18. Nope. He has always said IT WON'T BE EASY.

The Clinton's have destroyed any good will I had left for them.

If she did pull this thing out, she will lose all those first time and young voters that Obama has brought into the fold.(hell, she is losing this 62 year old who has ALWAYS voted Democratic, too)
I believe she KNOWS she has lost and STILL wants to trash our party.


SHAME ON YOU, HILLARY CLINTON!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

87. He has always said that it WOULDN'T be easy!

drowning men (and women) clutch at straws! Obama's not drowning!

[VolcanoJen]

20. "We know the battle ahead will be long."

"But always remember that, no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. And they will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks and months to come.

We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope."

- Barack Obama, New Hampshire Primary Concession Speech, January 8th, 2008

Mock it all you want, Senator Clinton. But it's a message that resonated in Iowa, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Utah, Maryland, Georgia, Connecticut, Delaware, The District of Columbia, Idaho, Virginia, Alaska, Alabama, Hawaii, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Louisiana, Illinois, North Dakota and Washington.

And he never said it would be easy. He just made it look that way.

[MadBadger]

32. Youd think she would have seen the youtube video by now...lol.

[Egnever]

159. And he never said it would be easy. He just made it look that way.

Perfect

[Demobrat]

3. Well that should win over a few voters.

NOT! She's really losing it. Sad to watch.

[blocker]

8. He's saying the exact opposite

i've heard him say the exact opposite in a lot of his peeches, so, where does she come up with theses accusations, my goodness, are the clinton supporters so brainwashed that they will believe everything she says? They need to get a reality check, it's getting ridiculous.

[blonndee]

4. Yup. She's degrading herself again, but in an even sadder way.

Very sad to see this happen to her. And quite ugly, too.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

158. Oh, The Audacity of Hopelessness

Hillary owns it.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/24/opinion/24rich.html?em&ex=1204088400&en=3e9996b4403c243c&ei=5087%0A

[WillyT]

Good Thing She's Ending It On A High Note, Eh ???

:sarcasm:

[Alexander]

84. It's definitely a "high" note. I want whatever she's smoking.

[Skidmore]

5. I saw that.

It was over the top. I don't know what she is thinking, but it looks neither professional nor is it behavior becoming someone who wants to present as a leader. I don't recall any one of the other candidates ever talking about her or to her in this fashion.

[VolcanoJen]

6. Saw it. Something about the heavens opening and choirs singing.

It was the most eye-rolling, nauseating stump speech I've ever seen her give.

Interesting to see that this is the way she's going to go into Ohio and Texas. It's as if both Mark Penn (attack Obama on hope/change message) and Bill Clinton (attack Obama on health care as its a Dem primary red-meat issue) are both winning some kind of battle for her soul.

One thing that I have found so disheartening about Clinton's campaign is how malleable it's been. She's never been able to just stay on message, and that's probably because she hasn't found a message that works yet. But this constant fish-out-of-water flopping and flailing is just painful to watch.

[4themind]

29. What a start to the week..

March 4th can't come soon enough for me, if this keeps going on

[Windy]

80. God, I agree. This primary has been brutal and is getting more brutal and hard to stomach daily! n/t

[KittyWampus]

30. VJ, please consider doing an OP of your comment. It's so sad/true. I'd feel some sympathy

but, as a woman, feel Hillary has to take full responsibility.

[VolcanoJen]

68. I flesh out my archair psychology more in my reply to SwampRat below.

I'd love to do an OP but I've exceeded my limit! I'm the new Proud2B! ;-)

This campaign has finally reached its kind-of Shakespearean apex.

[BattyDem]

60. That's been her biggest problem all along.

Every week, it's a different message and/or a different voice. Who is she? What does she stand for? What does she believe in? I'm not seeing a person with conviction, I'm seeing a person who will say or do anything to get a vote. "Just throw it all out there and see what sticks" is no way to run a successful campaign.

It's a shame. I've always liked and respected Hillary. I used to say that I would vote for her without hesitation if she ever ran for president, though my feelings have changed a bit in recent years because of her strong DLC ties. However, up until recently, I would have been perfectly fine with voting for her if she got the nomination ... but now I would have to "hold my nose" to do it.

I wish she would just stop ... for her sake, for the sake of the Clinton legacy and for the Democratic party. This is not helping anyone. It's sad and painful to watch. :-(

[VolcanoJen]

91. "Throw it all out there and see what sticks"

Exactly. It's this mish-mosh. I almost feel like the most diehard of Hillary supporters are projecting something onto her that, frankly, is no longer there.

It's bad politics. It's also losing politics... she couldn't name one time where going negative on Obama's message worked for her. That they're going back to the losing playbook ought to startle any poltical watcher.

Obama could easily make a case that this wouldn't be any way to run a country, either. And Frank Rich made it all the more clear in his column today... that her relationship with Mark Penn resembles, uncomfortably, a Bush/Rumsfeld alliance. Stubborn meets stubborner.

[BattyDem]

123. "Obama could easily make a case that this wouldn't be any way to run a country"

That's a good point. How can she be ready to lead the country "on day one" when she wasn't even ready for a challenger in the primary? I have never seen any candidate so COMPLETELY UNPREPARED for a primary challenge!


edited: typo :blush:

[polichick]

73. Yes, it's as if she doesn't know who she is...

Reminds me of Mitt ~ but it's more surprising in this case.

[Window]

138. Yes, it was that bad.

It is so sad to see her come to this.





Peace:thumbsup:

7. The last gasps of a campaign and candidate in self destruct mode...

Duke

[billbuckhead]

33. Presently,the Obama movement does live in a "Truman Show" fantasyland

One day very soon, as if on cue, the corporate media will turn on Obama and his movement and the pleasant media environment now enjoyed by them will turn into a hurricane.

Besides even if Obama somehow wins, look at the lack of impact that Deval Patrick has had. Hillary is just being the adult.

[Yael]

63. Thank you for that report.

[VolcanoJen]

121. ROFL!

That was coming from a poster who was just talking up Nader in another thread. ;-)

[LibertyorDeath]

149. The Dem's could run Jesus and the MSM would turn

That's what Corporate media does to Dem's

So what's your point.

[VenusRising]

9. He doesn't say that it's going to be easy at all.

He says that he knows how hard it is to change things. And then says it's NOT going to be easy to change...(insert issue here).

She is not being smart at all.

[cottonseed]

10. She's just embarrasing herself now.

She'll flame out tomorrow night as usual, and hopefully that will be the end of it.

[THUNDER HANDS]

11. she's making it awfully tempting to caution her to beware of falling houses

not that I would, that would be sexist.

[bowens43]

12. What a shrill , bitter , petty person she has become.

The worst part is, that anyone who has ever listened to Obama's speeches knows that hew stresses that it will not be easy and that there will failures and mistakes along the way.

Hillary isn't fit to be president.

[MadBadger]

13. "I know how hard it will be..." He says that at all his stump speeches.

Hillary should watch them.

[K Gardner]

14. Yes. Well, actually, my grandson came running into the kitchen going: "Mamaw, the mad lady is

screaming again!" I heard her shrieking from some distance away and finally arrived in time to change the channel for my poor grandson. I've vacillated on this. Yesterday, I first thought she'd lost it. Then I considered and thought she'd faked her outrage as a stunt. Now I just think she's plain old... here we go.. yes, unhinged.

[silverweb]

58. Out of the mouths of babes.

:D

Time to go back to New York, Hillary -- while people there still like you as their senator, and don't yet think you're turning into a screaming old "mad lady."

[bvar22]

76. She had better start worrying about her NY Senate seat.

She only beat out McCain by 53% in the last poll.
New Yorkers can turn on you .......in a New York minute.

They also don't take kindly to carpetbaggers.

[silverweb]

117. Very good point.

It would be a shame if her stubborn over-reaching ambition and inability to know when to quit ruined what she has already achieved.

My understanding was that she is very popular as a senator, but it sounds like she should return her focus to resecuring that position ASAP.

[Window]

141. Dear Lord.

Poor baby.

:rofl:



Please:thumbsup:

That's one smart kid...

[Schema Thing]

15. lol, and the news people will just show a clip of Obama saying

"I know it won't be a cake-walk to make the sort of changes we're talking about...."


Sheesh Hillary, do some frickin' homework.

[BuyingThyme]

16. Was she wearing a chicken costume?

[blocker]

17. Damn, she's gotta be overrated in polls.

how can anybody preach what she's saying, how can anybody be that dumb? and this coming from an edwards supporter

[NC_Nurse]

19. Is this her attempt to be more "likable" and appeal to more voters?

She has really gone down the rabbit hole since yesterday, making all her critics look like prophets.:eyes:

[Swamp Rat]

21. Oops!

Bad tactic. Stick to the issues Hillary.

Her campaign management is really screwing up now.

[VolcanoJen]

62. This is the Mark Penn side.

According to the news articles detailing the piling-on of leaks coming from clearly disgruntled Clinton staffers, Penn's been urging her to attack Obama on his hope/change message, and to claim he is unfit for the office.

Yesterday, she showed her Bill Clinton side when attacking Obama on the health care/NAFTA mailers. The same staffers say Bill urges her to go on the attack, but on issues rather than charachter, and especially red-meat Dem issues such as choice and health care.

Thursday during the debate, she showed her Mandy Grunwald side during that valedictory segment at the end. It's also the side likely closest to the real Hillary, and the side I admire the most. In fact, if she had just been Hillary from the beginning, without these advisors sitting on her shoulders playing devil/angel, she'd be in a much better position today. New Hampshire embraced the "real" Hillary, and even I had my heartstrings tugged watching her at the end of Thursday's debate.

It's really been the most fascinating campaign, practically Shakespearean, honestly.

[Swamp Rat]

86. "practically Shakespearean".... Ooo! You nailed it: A tragedy unfolding.

I believe Hillary might actually be winning right now if Mandy Grunwald was in charge from the beginning. I sure do miss the Hillary of yore.

[rocktivity]

154. If she keeps manufacturing these multiple personalities of hers

She'll have to change her name to SYBIL-lary.

:headbang:
rocknation

[Yael]

22. As many times as Obama has said it will be difficult and we will make mistakes

a clip of that should be easy enough to find.

The YouTube contrasting these two on that topic will be spectacular.

[Swamp Rat]

26. A comparison video of this nature might make the Colbert Report or Daily Show

That would be bad for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

[SoFlaJet]

23. Obama was right yesterday

on which side the negativity has been coming from. It should make for an interesting debate Tuesday night-no more of that phony bullshit about being "honored" to share a stage with someone who she is so jealous of it's not even funny...sad and pathetic is what she has become

[Bluebear]

24. Was she wifey and hysterical?

[K Gardner]

28. Actually yes. Good description.

[greguganus]

44. ...and unhinged? n/t

[Debi]

25. Link? As soon as you can get one...

Is this where she talked about 'change' or is this a new one?

[flor de jasmim]

27. Is there a live stream on the internet somewhere??

[bicentennial_baby]

34. This was just about an hour ago, in RI

I don't see a video on CNN.com yet. Hm.

[Debi]

39. So it's new...and worse???

:banghead:

[K Gardner]

41. I hadn't heard this attack line before.. she was clearly confused because none of it

really made a whole lot of sense if you've ever listened to Obama. Its from her rally in Providence, RI today.

[VolcanoJen]

98. New line of attack. She had a line about choruses singing and heavens opening...

... or something to that effect. It was bizarre, frankly. And I certainly hadn't heard it before. She was actually getting the crowd whipped up with it, which made it all the more disheartening.

[Debi]

135. Unpresidential...and really a pretty sad note for her to go out n/t

[Firespirit]

31. This is actually tragic

I used to admire Hillary. In the 90s she was a female role model for me. I gradually lost a lot of illusions about her, when it became clear that she was an "anything goes" politician, but this has become sad.

If she loses the nomination, how will she cope with going back to work and being effective as a senator? There is more than one way to serve America, as Gore, Dean, Kerry, and others have demonstrated, but I am not sure she realizes this. Was her Senate seat always meant to be a launchpad and nothing more?

And for the sake of all women who aspire to national office, I wish she would be more dignified. The sexists in the media will use her behavior to slur all women.

C'mon, Hillary. There are things in the world that are more important than your ambition.

[K Gardner]

51. I tried to imagine Benazir Bhutto throwing a fit like that and couldn't. I use her simply because

she's the first admired female politician/leader who came to mind.

[anigbrowl]

69. I didn't like Margaret Thatcher, but she was plenty smart in her day...

Hillary should have studied up on how to be a strong woman and still get elected. Thatcher has plenty to teach any aspiring politician, no matter how you feel about her policies.

[K Gardner]

77. Agreed.. Thatcher is an excellent role model.

[Cha]

81. Great post...it's a shame

all right.

[backscatter712]

35. HAIL MARY!!! Incomplete.

Fourth down and twenty. Ten seconds left on the clock.

That's what her campaign is down to.

[BattyDem]

36. Funny ... I don't ever recall him saying it was going to be easy.

In fact, he has specifically said that he knows it won't be easy.

[Connie_Corleone]

42. It just baffles the mind what comes out of her mouth sometimes.

Anyone who has ever heard an Obama speech knows he tells us it won't be easy. He says it every friggin' day, every speech!

What the hell is wrong with her?

If she's going to go after Obama, she might want to try some facts next time.

[Bongo Prophet]

162. Maybe she has him on "ignore" ???

It is true that he has never claimed "it will be easy" - indeed, just the opposite.

But to know that, one would have to actually listen to the....words.

[MoJoWorkin]

37. Who in the hell can come in and stop this madness?

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend is reported to have tried to talk sense to them to no avail.

40. Hillary is helping us bring it to a final close

however it might have been received in RI with a group of supporters, There are millions of Texans that just jotted down a note to make sure they remember to get in and vote first thing Monday (Texas has early voting)

[redstate_democrat]

43. I really didn't find

that party of her stump speech to be that shocking. What I did find shocking was the fact that she basically said no one can get rid of the special interests in DC and that "you can't wave a magic wand" to get rid of special interests, and what's the big deal about special interests anyway, it's not about special interests because sometimes people just have a difference in opinion.

Her crowd ate it up.

[BattyDem]

46. She obviously doesn't see the problems we face ...

so how can she possibly solve them? The special interests are killing us! :grr:

[redstate_democrat]

Yes they are killing us.

They are making all of the policy decisions in D.C., at least for the past eight years.

[MadBadger]

47. Wait, so she defended the special interests? Jeez...Somebody needs to find video.

I hope Edwards was watching.

[redstate_democrat]

55. Yes, somebody needs to please

get that up as soon as possible. This is borderline dangerous now.

[K Gardner]

67. I was thinking the "d" word but dared not say it. Glad you did :-)

[knowledgeispwr]

79. I've been searching Youtube and CNN and it's not up yet

People on DailyKos are also looking for a video.

This is yet another inexplicable action/statement coming out of the Clinton campaign.

[K Gardner]

48. Yeah, that's what I was saying above.. I found the whole thing rather confusing. The part about the

special interests was just bizarro.

[redstate_democrat]

52. Totally bizzaro.

I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. She has taken her rhetoric to new heights with this one.

[polichick]

[polichick]

99. Someone on msnbc touched on this after the last debate...

...saying that she doesn't seem to be able to feel/read her audience. Obama is so good at that.

That's why people are going nuts at his speeches. He speaks directly to issues that are at voters' hearts.

I hope Obama just sits there eating a bowl of cereal. Every time Hillary starts to pop off, he'll just nod and go "uhhu", "right", "sure", "that's fine" and then dip in for another spoonful. It's not even worth taking seriously anymore.

89. I just read the quote in this thread. I can tell you this, the thin-skinned whining 'cuz someone

has something other than glorious devoted priase to say about Obama will result in a president McCain before you can say, "what happened?"

It's like a bunch of little kids crying because some mean lady popped one of their ballons.

Look at this thread - the faux outrage, oh, the drama, is rediculous. So effin' what if she jabbed at his Hope/Change/Unity magical mystery tour. He jabs at her all the time, and her message.

90. This Is All Mark Penn's Brilliant Campaign Strategy

When the Clintons get into trouble politically, they tend to hire assholes as consultants:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

95. Morris, Penn, Shrum.

Gack!

[VolcanoJen]

118. Best part of the endgame.

The best thing that could ever happen to the Democratic Party would be to see the Shrums, the Penns, the Wolfssons, the Carville-Matalins of the party melt away forever. The people have moved on, and its time for them to go run some shitty Clerk of Courts campaign until they figure out what it was they used to believe in, again.

Kudos to Axelrod/Plouffe for running the most effective, most lean, most positive campaign we've ever seen, and with the grassiest roots to boot.

[Yavin4]

132. High Paid Consultants Are The Reasons for Lobbyists Dollars

These consultants are the cost drivers for political campaigns. Politicians have to beg the lobbyists to pay for these morons.

[AGirl]

94. I love that. And because Obama never mocks Hillary in his speech, right? LMAO.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

96. That's also a video I would like to see.

This is disgusting.

So much for going out with grace and dignity.

that is most disgusting. She went on and on basically saying, get used to special interests because we just can't get rid of 'em.

Status. Quo.

116. She's right, "The clouds will part, the sun will rise, bird-lings will chirp in green leafy trees...

plump with sweet, nourishing, low hanging fruit. Manna Is Coming!! It's going to be great!"

[bigtree]

119. oh, man. She is really getting under the skin of Obama supporters here

This thread is hysterical.

Hillary did something political???!! Oh, my!

She's still fighting. Why should that come as a surprise to anyone? Complaining about it here won't do a thing.

Is Obama going come out and call her emotional again? I hope so.

[polichick]

122. This Obama supporter feels sorry for her...

She's torching her campaign ~ and it's sad to see.

[bigtree]

125. aww, that's cute

[polichick]

129. How cynical you are - too bad. nt

[bigtree]

134. I can't believe the sour grapes from folks who claim they're so far ahead

enjoying it, really.

[Window]

145. Hardly sour grapes. Pity to see such a fall from grace for a once

respected woman.

[VolcanoJen]

124. All our base are belong to Hill

:scared:

[bigtree]

126. boo!

[nookiemonster]

130. Not really.

Kinda sad to see her meltdown, of course in the same vein it's pretty damn funny.

I'm actually kinda glad to see her supporters not bitching and whining incessantly. A little red meat for them, so to speak.

Enjoy.......

[blonndee]

120. Oh my my my...I only heard it the first time. The VIDEO is much worse

with her overexaggerated movements and gestures and facial expressions. It clearly shows she has indeed lost all dignity and any positivity she may have once had. I have always admired her for her strength, but that's gone now. In my opinion, what she's been doing does not come from a place of strength, but biterness and desperation, and it's coming out in an ugly, sad way.

[Vinca]

127. Ouch. I'm not going to say the word I'm thinking after watching that. nt

[Inuca]

131. It is indeed painful to watch

What is even more panful though is the damage she does to Obama's candidacy if she continues like this. How much more fodder will she provide to be used and rehashed in the GE? I HOPE that whoever in the party hierarchy is in a position to actually do anything about this are trying their best to stop it ASAP.

[BlackVelvet04]

128. I never heard her refer to Obama and say he said

anything. She said "I COULD say......."

[Forkboy]

133. LOL...yeah, that's the ticket.

:crazy:

[alteredstate]

136. Then what's her point?

[Window]

146. Disingenuous.

[Yossariant]

140. Yes!

:woohoo:

[applegrove]

142. I saw it. She makes a good point. Obama does make things seem easy.

He has that way about him. And whether it will be an asset to him as a President is for people to decide. She gets to ask the question. This is a campaign for god's sake.

[mtnsnake]

143. Hillary ROCKED. That video was so dam funny I hope she does more mocking!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ORDem]

147. This is really her Dean Scream moment.

It is so over the top and bitterly condescending. She should just STFU at this point and take her sorry-ass road show home for good. :dem:

[rucky]

150. She made an ass out of herself.

It was kind of uneasy to watch.

[TexasObserver]

152. She's jumped the shark this time.

[meow mix]

153. translation; optimism is fuking stupid.

now shes acting like us at DU, lol!

glad we have obama,
a more rational candidate

[Occam Bandage]

155. Oh, she wasn't just mocking Obama. She was mocking his supporters. You know, the ones

she needs to convince to come over to her side, to prevent her from staying a second-place candidate.

What an idiot.

[Muzza]

161. Was great!

Enjoyed watching it. Someone needs to bring him down from that pedestal he's on.
