Actually this is starting to make sense to me. Obama's attacks on Hillary are very calculated.
He is smearing Hillary and at the same time highlighting the nastiness of the campaign to trigger "Clinton fatigue". This level of nastiness in the campaign reminds people of how they felt when the right wing was attacking the Clintons. It turns the independent voter away from Hillary only because they don't like the ongoing fighting. He is enacting the old right wing talking point that if Hillary is elected there will be 8 more years of attacks on her and Bill. Obama is using it to his advantage and promoting it. I don't like him at all. He cannot be trusted.

1. I feel the same way. I don't trust him and I haven't trusted him
for a good while.

4. He has many minions pulling the strings just like *bush had.

The difference is, Obama will be used up, not preserved like junior. If he wins the nomination, he will see just how short that leash really was from the beginning. Actually, it was a lite fuse.

7. Your sig line pic is the best thing I have seen in days!
If it would not offend you, I would like to
use it once in a while.

Obama is a DINO, he will sell us out to the
repukes. Reaching across the aisle to play in
shit only makes you stink.

10. of course its calculated and his meta-message is sending
signals that it is ok to hate Hillary Clinton. Its not what he says on the surface but what the underlying tone of his message is sending.

the best examples are , Hillary is devisive and She is likeable enough. This is giving his worshippers the green light to hate on her. Note the heckler who argued with Bill Clinton.

Disrespecting a fellow democrat who was a pretty darned good president is beyond the pale fucked up.

13. The GOP slime machine has nothing on Obama as far as cheap tactics are concerned.
The latest shameful even was the fabricated outrage of the picture of him in another country.

The pic had been around for ages. Clinton had nothing to do with it, yet Obama whipped up the faithful into a frothing frenzy over it.

He's a DINO.

Not one nickle, not one minute of support from me. Never.
