Obama actually said, "And all three of us would be better than George Bush" |
|
Here is the whole quote:
"Either Democrat would be better than John McCain," he said. "And all three of us would be better than George Bush."
So why is Hillary slamming Obama for this by saying Obama said "McCain would be a better President than George Bush". Not only is she misquoting him, she also took it out of context.
I don't understand why she is doing this. I don't see how she wins any votes in PA or anywhere else. It is also hypocritical because she has stated that McCain is ready to be Commander in Chief but Obama isn't.
Does anyone think she wins any votes with this tactic? I heard her using it in a call and response with a crowd in Pennsylvania, and the crowd response was underwhelming, imo.

5. But your cat could not land a fighter jet on a carrier and strut around afterward. |
|
And McCain actually could - not that he would.

6. Because he didn't phrase it this way |
|
McCain has experience, I (Hillary) have experience, and Obama...well he's got a speech.
On a personal level I hope Hillary gets trounced in PA tomorrow, but I have to admit that I am also wary of the electronic voting system and it's ability to be compromised in favor of Hillary.

8. Well I am not aware that Obama was doing call and response with misquotes of Clinton. |
|
That would be the equivalent, not how we word our posts here.

"she has stated that McCain is ready to be Commander in Chief but Obama isn't." I'm just suggesting we be careful to gt all quotes accurate and in context as well.

Context is everything. False equivalency, I say.

17. Given how McCain has shown more class to Sen. Obama I see why he gives him SOME credit... |
