Robert Reich endorses Obama; Hillary represents "mean-spirited, negative politics"

[DesEtoiles]

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/4/18/1496/98690/213/498119

So what's changed? I asked Reich.

"I saw the ads" — the negative man-on-street commercials that the Clinton campaign put up in Pennsylvania in the wake of Obama's bitter/cling comments a week ago — "and I was appalled, frankly. I thought it represented the nadir of mean-spirited, negative politics. And also of the politics of distraction, of gotcha politics. It's the worst of all worlds.

1. what a slam on Hillary

[calimary]

26. Man - that's a big one. He's one of the last of the red-hot Clinton insiders.

That is telling indeed.

[calimary]

28. Sorry - dupe. Hit the wrong button by mistake.

Oh well, you still got another kick out of it!

:D

[PoliticalAmazon]

96. The SDs have to be observing this and making some decisions. n/t

[still_one]

2. WOW, Reich introduced Bill and Hillary to each other, that is big news

[FrenchieCat]

6. Didn't he date her once or something?

I seem to remember something about that.....meaning they have known each other for years and years.

Oh oh.......hey Richardson, move over. You've got company! :scared:

[grantcart]

9. minnie me judas?

[GarbagemanLB]

45. ...

:spray: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Bucky]

80. Ha!! That's funny, cause Reich has suffered from bone ossification since childhood. So he's short.

And, as everyone knows, short people are funny!

[mikehiggins]

117. Is that a slam at Reich's height?

More of the same-old, same-old that is turning people off to Hillary more and more every day.

Reich is brilliant, and no "Judas". It is frankly disgusting to see him get attacked in such a mean-spirited and surly fashion

[Catherine Vincent]

130. Just so you know, that was an Obama supporter that said that and not a Hillary supporter. nt

[jjr5]

135. Does that matter?

The whole problem is that Hillary's campaign has spiraled down into uncharted and murky territory. I don't think we should be throwing mean-spirited comments around, especially if it has nothing to do with the race or the issues.

[Catherine Vincent]

136. Yes, it does matter.

I responded that way because of this exchange:

Grantcart made a slam against Robert Reich and MHiggens responded because a remark like that is what turns people off, supposedly, to Hillary and that Reich is no Judas. Higgins assumed grantcart was a Hillary supporter and he is not.

[merh]

8. did he really?

wow. :wow:

[Texas Hill Country]

94. they went on one date.

[merh]

95. is that supposed to be an answer to my question?

The question is, did he introduce bill and hill to each other? Well did he?

And now, who went on a date once, him and hill, him and bill or the three of 'em?

[Texas Hill Country]

100. Riech and Hillary went on one date, decided to be friends. Reich later introduced her to Bill.

[merh]

102. thank you for the answer.

n/t

[Texas Hill Country]

106. my pleasure.

[Catherine Vincent]

131. I don't think that's true.

From what I read and saw on videos when Bill was running for President in 1991, Hillary went over to Bill in the library at Yale and introduced herself because Bill would stare at her instead of ask her name.

[Raine]

3. WOW!!

Congrats to Obama! :thumbsup:

[gateley]

4. Hillary -- and many of her supporters --

don't believe that people actually move away from Hillary as a result of the negative stuff. But here's someone who was in the Clinton administration, actually endorsed and said he would support her, who felt strongly enough to switch to Obama.

Kennedy and Dodd should have been a clue. I don't understand why her campaign has continued to use this approach when the fallout is obvious.

[jgraz]

5. Go Prof Reich!!

I LOVE that guy!

[TheDonkey]

7. WOW! WOW! WOW! Go Reich! Hillary=SLIMEBOT

[Darth_Kitten]

115. Using a word like Slimebot doesn't put you in a good light.

How typical though.

[TheDonkey]

120. omg!

so sorry!!! Hillary isn't sliming, what am I thinking. :eyes:

[donheld]

10. Dead

:sarcasm:

[StevieM]

11. He opposed Al Gore too. He is a jerk who has used the occasion of the endorsement to smear her(eom)

[blm]

48. He was closer to Bradley's policies. Gore has BECOME more populist now than he was during

the early stage of his primary in 1999.

I think too many people here fail to use CONTEXT when they make their silly statements. My guess is that they do it deliberately because no one can be that obtuse about so MANY matters of this nation's governance and its politics.

[PoliticalAmazon]

97. Please, no excuses. Hillary has earned what she is getting. Let her bask in it. n/t

[RiverStone]

12. Reich echo's about as eloquently as one can...

The disillusionment that many of us feel toward the Clintons.

I could never fathom my admiration, particularly for Bill, to be so heavily swayed by their negative tactics.

I still hope we can collectively forgive and move on once Obama is awarded the nomination.

Really, a remarkable turn of the table considering his history within the Clinton administration.

[Divine Discontent]

13. It cannot get any more of a SLAM DUNK against Hillary than this

and any of her supporters should listen up - do you all KNOW who this man was to their past, and his service to the Clinton Administration. He's one of the names, when I hear it, I can picture his face and know he served for Bill - and he just said NO THANKS to Hillary as President of the United States!

WOW

[McCamy Taylor]

14. Obama's Harry and Louise flyers had that same effect on me.

[merh]

16. Why don't you go write some more posts telling us how

hillary's bosnia tales were true.

:eyes:

[FrenchieCat]

19. What, a white couple sitting at a table digusted you that much.....

wow!

17. Robert Reich hates the Clintons

Ever since Bill 'lied to him' about the Lewinski affair.

The whole Publican slime machine along with their media complicits, rabidly grasping at anything they could find to take the Clintons down, and petty little Robert, who would basically be nobody if it weren't for Bill Clinton, resented that Bill lied >to him<.

Reich has been bitter and unforgiving for !!twelve years!! over it. What a guy, huh? He is "the nadir" of petty, sanctimonious turncoats who comes up far, far shorter in personal character than he does in physical stature.

[FrenchieCat]

24. You mean this Reich got pissed off for being lied to?

[cali]

27. bzzzt Don't put lie in quotation marks, bill did lie. duh.

[GoesTo11]

32. Reich was nobody without the Clintons

Just a very public intellectual, a best selling author and well-known Harvard professor.

1991: The Work of Nations: Preparing Ourselves for 21st Century Capitalism
1990: Public Management in a Democratic Society
1988: The Power of Public Ideas (editor)
1989: The Resurgent Liberal: And Other Unfashionable Prophecies 1987: Tales of a New America: The Anxious Liberal's Guide to the Future

[fishwax]

42. it's weird, I saw people say the same thing about Richardson, too

as if they'd just plucked him from out of nowhere--crafted him from whole cloth :shrug:

[rucky]

39. Another Judas, eh?

I'm starting to see a pattern here. But I'm sure it's not them - it's everybody else.

[my3boyz]

43. Oh he hates them so much that he originially endorsed her. Mmmhmmm.makes sense!

:sarcasm:

[GoneOffShore]

67. So, if as your quote says

you're into "comforting the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted", you must be REALLY happy to be supporting the Hillsnbill show.

[gmudem]

18. And let the character assassination on Reich begin

Man it's just getting harder and harder to tell the difference between Clinton supporters and Karl Rove these days.

HUGE get for Obama! Another signal to Clinton to GTFO!

[Raine]

20. See above...they already have

x(

[SeattleGirl]

22. Indeed they have.

They are the two newest members of my Ignore Club. :)

[DesEtoiles]

34. they cannot accept reality. No big names have broken for Hillary in months.

[Tarheel_Dem]

53. To be honest, there was Murtha, but that was when she was riding high

in the PA polls. His support lately, however, sounds "soft" at best. I don't understand how the Clinton supporters here don't get the message that people like Robert Reich & Bill Richardson know the Clintons intimately, and there's a reason why they didn't endorse them right away. I suspect a lot more SD's have remained neutral out of fear.

[Tactical Progressive]

29. Team Obama are the lowest-road character assassins we've had in the Dem party in 30 years

Getting petty Robert Reich to do their 'dirty' work for them is par for the course.

Obama is a human slime machine.

Unfortunately, that only works on fellow Democrats. When the Publicans start pointing out what a nasty piece of work he is with his low-road smear tactics, Obama's high-road pretense will burn off in no time at all. And when that happens, the rest of his phony resume and personality will be mauled daily. The Penn debate will be a tea-party, with cupcakes, compared to what happens after that.

It's one of the very first things Publicans will do. Hillary can't because the media attacks her every time she goes after him. (Had Hillary gotten one of her endorsers to call Obama "mean-spirited" it would have been a week of media savagery against her from every conceivable angle.) Publicans have no such problem. The media will only protect Obama to smear Hillary. They won't even try to protect him from Publicans, and even if they wanted to they couldn't in the least.

Once Obama is exposed as a low-road smear merchant, not to mention a fairly congenital liar, it's straight downhill.

[gmudem]

30. Just too much

Another delusional Clintonite. To ignore you go.

[Why Syzygy]

40. Step away from the shrooms!

[BornBlue]

63. Who's got shrooms?

And where can I get 'em? If I take them will I become a Clinton supporter? If that is the case, forget it.

[GoneOffShore]

68. Ignored has the shrooms,

but won't share.

[BornBlue]

72. Greedy Bastard.

[GoneOffShore]

76. That's why he's Ignored.

He flunked sharing in Kindergarten.

[guyanakoolaid]

89. I doubt it's shrooms

Shrooms just enhance reality. Only something like salvia can make you have that complete a break with reality.

[Why Syzygy]

126. yeah, I thought about that ..

but it sounds like they are seeing the devil. Bad bad on me for giving shrooms a bad rap.

[newmajority]

143. Nope, it ain't the Shrooms.

The surviving members of the Grateful Dead endorsed Obama a few months back, and Roger Waters also endorsed, just this last week. These are guys who have done significant quantities of psychedelics, and obviously it didn't subject them to the delusions which our poor DLC interns appear to be suffering from :crazy:

[D23MIURG23]

137. In my experience shrooms don't do that.

Amphetimines and Datura on the other hand will give people paranoid psychotic delusions!

[cali]

49. bwahahaha. thanks for the laugh

now go patch your exploded little head, dear.

[high density]

56. You seem more like a dirty bomb progressive than a tactical one

What a turd of a post that was.

[mkultra]

57. your right!!!

if you replace Obama with Clinton in your post.


Do you often find your self completely contrary to reality?

[intaglio]

88. TP you might need to up the Lithium and Thorazine

Team Obama are the lowest-road character assassins we've had in the Dem party in 30 years - like you are doing to Reich? or like Carvill and Bill did to Richardson? Like Hillary tried (and failed) to do with the "not ready to be President" crap? Like Team Obama mentions Norman Hsu at every oportunity - not?

Getting petty Robert Reich to do their 'dirty' work for them is par for the course - Are you implying Reich was blackmailed or paid? Are you saying that he was not a part of Team Clinton? Are you saying that Reich (and Richardson) are lying?

Obama is a human slime machine - any evidence? or is that concept beneath your dignity? Any examples? Anything? Anyone? Bueller? Beuller?

Unfortunately, that only works on fellow Democrats. When the Publicans start pointing out what a nasty piece of work he is with his low-road smear tactics, Obama's high-road pretense will burn off in no time at all. And when that happens, the rest of his phony resume and personality will be mauled daily. The Penn debate will be a tea-party, with cupcakes, compared to what happens after that. - So the republicans are only convinced by truth, they will not be convinced by smears .... yeah, right. So it's a good thing that Obama has avoided the stygian depths of the Clinton Campaign.

Once Obama is exposed as a low-road smear merchant, not to mention a fairly congenital liar, it's straight downhill - and you're going to be there to help the GOP do it. Again examples? evidence? Pretty fluffy pussy cats?

Just take your tabs and wake up on Jan 20 in time for the swearing in of President Barack Obama

[juno jones]

112. OMG! They said that!

You're right. The post said 'CONGENITAL LIAR!' (loud screeching caps mine). Back up. Ignore. Congenital! WTF! congential liar. I have most of the worst hidden, but this one had seemed relatively rational until now.

[jettison]

92. Someone says something about Hillary beig too negative

...and in your delusional world, this makes Obama a "human slime machine". Critical Thinking 101. Take it. It's offered at most colleges.

[Lucky 13]

101. So now any time someone says something negative about Hillary, it's them doing Obama's dirty work?

Let me tell you something, I say negative shit about Hillary all the live long day, and none of it is in concert with Obama or his campaign.

Utter Jackassery.

[MH1]

110. So, what you're saying is,

in this Democratic primary we are faced with choosing between two people who are "human slime machines" and "congenital liars"?

Because I know Hillary is.

But even if Obama is also, at least I like his approach to politics, and his policies, better.

(I hope it's obvious to my fellow Obama fans that I don't think he is the nasty things the poster claims. But then I'm not all knowing. The point is, it's already established that Clinton is, so if Obama is too, we just have to move on to other criteria - and he still wins.)

[eagertolearn]

116. You're way off. Hillary hasn't even been picked on yet because

the republicans would like her to win so they can go against her. Obama's campaign didn't waste their time digging up Clinton's dirt because she has been digging up her own (Bosnia, insinuating Obama can't win because he is black and her negative campaining). Obama's dirt isn't even "real" dirt and if this is all they can come up with it will be smooth sailing for him to the presidency. Everyone I have met who supports Obama are simply amazing people!

[DesEtoiles]

132. you are hallucinating

[susanwy]

138. Oh yea

like the character assignations of Joe Wilson and Gen. Wesley Clark because they endorsed Clinton? Both sides are willing to throw anyone under the bus regardless of what they have accomplished, pathetic really.

BTW - super delegates are going to start breaking, Dean told them to do so. And it does probably mean the beginning of the end for Hillary, but unless we forgive and forget and come together, we are toast in Nov.

[Frustratedlady]

21. Super! I've always liked Reich.

If your best friend can't tell you you're wrong, who can? Sorry, Hillary! You blew it!

Thank you, Robert Reich!

[jordi_fanclub]

23. Ouch!!!... *this* Robert Reich?!...

Here's Robert Reich's debut vblog, discussing economics, politics, and dating one of the presidential candidates.

http://vimeo.com/150772

[TragedyandHope]

25. I caught part of an radio interview with Reich today

He said something like (paraphrasing), "I like Senator Clinton. She's a friend of mine, but I think she's getting some really bad advice."

[SunsetDreams]

31. This does not surprise me...

Thank you Reich :)

[DesEtoiles]

33. k

[guruoo]

35. "mean-spirited, negative politics": BO supporters for it, before they were against it

Show 'nuff.

[jettison]

93. There is a vast difference between the actions of ones supporters,

and the actions of the candidates themselves. The Hillary camp continues to make all their judgements of Obama based on what anyone and everyone else has said or done. There is nothing that has Obama has said or done with the exception of "bitter-gate". That was their first morsel, literally the only shred of a misstep they could find, and you see how assuredly they clung to it like vultures. Why? There's nothing else.

Do people really not see the difference between the actions and words of a candidate vs. the action and words of one's supporters?

[guruoo]

133. I do see that one candidate is more reliant upon others to do their attacking for them.

[Kaylee]

36. Damn, that's quite a quote......

[bklyncowgirl]

37. Sounds like what Bruce Springsteen and Bill Richardson said--Hil's attacks put them over the top.

Nice work, Hillary. Keep it up and you'll be sitting up in the janitor's closet at the convention.

[shadowknows69]

38. Oooh that's gotta sting!

[futureliveshere]

41. More and more people are looking at the Clinton negativity bus as the bus-to-nowhere!!

This coupled with todays NYT story of SDs unaffected by recent Clinton arguments is fatal for her.

[Stop Cornyn]

44. That same ad moved me from "I like Obama but they're both good" to "she's given up on 2008 and is

simply trying to torpedo us in November so she can run again in 2012."

[YDogg]

99. ding! ding! ding!

sounds about right

[juno jones]

113. That is why the supreme court arguement will no longer hold me.

She doesn't care. She would rather the repups win so she can get her shot in '12.

I am so pissed, I have sent off my first ever monetary contribution to a politician.

Obama.

[thewiseguy]

46. Thank you Robert!

[K Gardner]

47. The deck chairs of the Titanic are in the water. Jump Hillary, JUMP !

50. Oh happy day...

Oh happy day!

The scales are falling from the eyes of SO MANY!

[Lucky 13]

103. It's gonna get worse....

... those superD's have been called out. I think I heard on the news 300 some are still undeclared? Is that right? Wonder which way that group's gonna break? he he he

[powergirl]

51. Video of Reich on Colbert Report in March - Colbert used food analogies to find out who he endorsed!

It's pretty hilarious especially when it came to food comparisons: Start watching at 1:40. It's a hoot!

http://www.comedycentral.com/colbertreport/videos.jhtml...

[bigbrother05]

98. pretty funny thanks

[Medusa]

52. He's my new hero. Thanks to him and Bill Richardson

and all the others like them who have seen this campaign and the deplorable tactics used by the Clintons and have decided to say no to politics as usual and endorse Obama!

[Vinca]

54. "nadir of mean-spirited, negative politics" - that is exactly what it is.

[Adelante]

55. He's dead now

Bad news for Clinton peeps are always dead.

[mmonk]

71. So which one is Judas, Reich or Ricardson?

Oh yeah, that's right, Easter is over. I guess Reich will have to be someone else like Benedict Arnold or someone.

[Bucky]

81. The correct answer is...

whichever one makes Hillary Clinton seem more like Jesus Christ.

[newmajority]

144. Maybe they'll try to make Reich into the Passover lamb?

Either that or attempt to plant him in the ground for Earth Day? :shrug:

(sorry, it's the only holidays I could think of in the near future)

[zulchzulu]

74. CARVILLE'S RESPONSE!!!

New Orleans - AP - James Carville has responded to Robert Reich's harsh criticism of Hillary Clinton and endorsement of Barack Obama with this comment:

"I've known Bobbie since the 90s and he is one short mother f#cker. I took a shower with him once at the Y after playin' b-ball and his Mr. Bubba was the size of a crawdaddy. Damn, I was gonna take him up to space with my wife in our private spaceship once we made some serious coin sellin' flipped condos in the Big Easy with my buds from Halliburton. He's a traitor 'cause he knows once you join Billy's Krewe, y'all never leave. Let's just say I better not see his little ass at Commander's uptown."

:sarcasm:

[Lucky 13]

105. How many times do we have to say it?!?

For godsake! WARN US when you are going to post a picture of that man. I about peed myself in sheer horror.

[Cali_Democrat]

108. LOL

:rofl:

[progetto]

141. Not far from the truth.

No doubt that Carville will go after Robert Reich and anybody else from the Clinton administration. Should be most interesting if/when Gore endorses Obama.

Hey, BenDavid. Are you just upset that the end is near?

[tammywammy]

125. "pink tutu none nuts"???

What's that supposed to mean?

[dsc]

145. please don't use homophobic slurs

[lastliberalintexas]

83. That's a great endorsement for Obama

I could have done without the criticism of Clinton (just tell us why you support your guy, don't tear down another Dem), but Reich was one of the few Clinton administration officials I really liked. I would love to see him heading anyone's Dept of Labor. :)

Robert Reich was going to stick by her and he just couldn't in all good conscience when the mean spiritness of hilary and her campaign became too much to stay silent!

[Evergreen Emerald]

119. So what does he think about the constant e-mails the Obama campaign

sent to the media about Bosnia?

This argument--that she is mean spirited is not even accurate. The facts show that this is a relatively mild campaign, and that behind the scenes Obama and his crew are terribly dirty, sending stuff the media constantly.



So, the question becomes, what is really going on here? She is no dirtier than he is--in fact, he used the dirtiest tactic I have ever seen, when he shouted "Racism!"

So, what is really going on?

[cui bono]

128. I've seen you get your answers many times on this board, but you refuse to accept the truth. n/t

[Evergreen Emerald]

140. And you guys refuse to answer a question.

The facts are there: the Obama campaign is dirty behind the scenes. Why is that ok with you?

What is the media doing that they are distorting what Clinton is doing, and hiding what Obama is doing?

And why is that ok with you?

[cui bono]

142. Who's "you guys"? I spoke for myself directly to you.

Plus I've seen your posts and responses to them. Like I said, you won't accept the truth. People have offered it up to you but you continue to defend an out and out liar who is breaking up the party, and who actually said that the Republican candidate is better equipped to be president than her Dem opponent.

It's not the media. It's you, and those like you, who are distorting Clinton's actions and continuing to support someone who has only her own personal ambitions and interests at heart. The first step is to admit it. And you know until you do that no one can help you.

I know you see it. It's impossible not to. One day you'll fall out of love and the honeymoon will be over and you'll read the history books and see how it really was and wonder how you got duped.

And all you're doing now is that tired old right wing game of attacking them with what your own candidate is really doing. It's well known what Hillary is saying to the SDs behind the scenes. And for one who claims no one is giving any answers you sure are throwing about a lot of accusations with no facts to back them up.

[Evergreen Emerald]

146. Your "truth" is ...not.

You suggest that I will not accept the “truth.” And the “truth” according to you is that Clinton is a liar who is breaking up the party. I disagree with your premise. Clinton is no more a liar than Obama. But, for some reason, you choose to ignore his lies and highlight hers. The question, that you--time and again—refuse to answer, is why? I think it is because you do not care about lies. I believe it is because you know that both sides are doing it and that it is all politics. I think you are doing it to continue the attack on Clinton and help your choice of a candidate to win. You are playing politics. You are part of the divide.

You suggest that it is not the media, and that it is me. That makes me laugh and you even talk about “her own personal ambitions,” That is a give-away that you have been listening to the propaganda and believing the right-wing lies. It is also sexist. You label her run for Presidency as a negative characteristic because she is a female who is gaining power, and then slant the same characteristic for Obama, as powerful, and all that is good.

It also makes me laugh that you actually are in outrage over the way the media asked questions of Obama, when they have been attacking Clinton non-stop.

And you characterize her as negative, when you ignore the negative campaigning that Obama has done. And then, of course the coop-de-grais—you call me a right winger and suggest that I am attacking you for what my candidate is really doing. Why don’t you respond to the FACT that Obama and his campaign have been sending e-mails to the media to attempt to get them to focus on Bosnia? That is negative campaigning. That is not focusing on the issues. That is “gotcha” politics. Why are you continuing to ignore it?

Reality bites for Obama supporters. So, you live in you own little world and continue to condemn anyone who does not agree with you.

Your “truth” however, is not.
