[madrchsod]

9. he's not touching this one

no one screws around with kick ass kitty!

2. We're desparate simply because we are asking that Obama be held accountable for his record?

Since when did accountability become such a dirty word?

I guess since Obama started running for President.

5. If the accusations were not complete horse shit I would buy that

[journalist3072]

6. And you know the accusations are "horse shit" how? Sounds to me as if

You're just a little pissed that your candidate might finally be having his record examined. He's not ever been called to account for anything in his public life. That's very telling.

[Medusa]

10. It's okay to be held accountable for a record, but to lie to do it?

That's called stretching. Oh yeah, it's also called LYING. Odd that the Clintonistas would accuse someone of lying when they are so adept at it themselves isn't it?

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. Obama hasn't actually said anything, much less lie.

[springhill]

7. Whats is it with all the "Hillary lied" threads...........

are the Obamamanicas really that desperate? As if one or the other has a monopoly on lying. They both do it, just like all politicians do it. Obama is no better than Clinton, it's just that the press absolutely hates Hillary and therefore puts a spotlight on everything she says, not so with the media darling (right now that is) Barack.

8. Yes, desperate.

He's about to win on Super Tuesday and that's killing them.

Read the CBS poll on how things stack up for Souped up Tuesday.

12. "Desperate", what a childish, overused taunt already.

People need to get some fresh material.

17. "Childish", what a desperate, overused taunt already.

Sorry man, sometimes I just can't resist.

13. When I placed the Obama story from today's NYT early this morning

I was just pointing out that he was like every other politician...

I didn't say he lied or that he was evil...

Others have and I am disappointed when they jump straight to hyperbole...

I just wanted people to see that behind the soaring rhetoric, Obama is a politician and politicians, especially legislators, will make decisions, cast votes and accept money from donors that can and often do conflict with the rhetoric...

I was just concerned that Obama is being put up on a pedestal that may be far too high for his record to sustain...

BTW, after Edwards dropped from the race, I decided to cast my lot with Obama...

14. Why are Obamites unable to answer the question?

The only thing I have seen from the Obamites is

"Hillary did it too". :rofl: I feel like I am in kindergarten again.
:rofl:

[adapa]

16. because their too young & think winning an argument is by shouting the loudest

don't cha know-
it's the bush legacy, if you repeat a lie often & loud people will believe you

15. No, he just authored a bill letting the nuclear plants not tell the neighbors about leaks-

"But eventually, Mr. Obama agreed to rewrite the bill, and when the environment committee approved it in September 2006, he and his co-sponsors hailed it as a victory.

In interviews over the past two weeks, Obama aides insisted that the revisions did not substantively alter the bill. In fact, it was left drastically different.

In place of the straightforward reporting requirements was new language giving the nuclear commission two years to come up with its own regulations. The bill said that the commission “shall consider” — not require — immediate public notification, and also take into account the findings of a task force it set up to study the tritium leaks.

By then, the task force had already concluded that “existing reporting requirements for abnormal spills and leaks are at a level that is risk-informed and appropriate.”

The rewritten bill also contained the new wording sought by Exelon making it clear that state and local authorities would have no regulatory oversight of nuclear power plants.

In interviews last week, representatives of Exelon and the nuclear commission said they were satisfied with the revised bill. The Nuclear Energy Institute said it no longer opposed it but wanted additional changes.

The revised bill was never taken up in the full Senate, where partisan parliamentary maneuvering resulted in a number of bills being shelved before the 2006 session ended.

Still, the legislation has come in handy on the campaign trail. Last May, in response to questions about his ties to Exelon, Mr. Obama wrote a letter to a Nevada newspaper citing the bill as evidence that he stands up to powerful interests.

“When I learned that radioactive tritium had leaked out of an Exelon nuclear plant in Illinois,” he wrote, “I led an effort in the Senate to require utilities to notify the public of any unplanned release of radioactive substances.”

Last October, Mr. Obama reintroduced the bill, in its rewritten form."

Way to go O, with that 'standing' up for the little guy thingy
