The Obama campaign should keep up on Missy Hillary TRIANGULATOR extraordianaire comments about her Iraq vote.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What we saw this morning is why the American people are tired of Washington politicians and the games they play. But Senator Clinton made an unfortunate remark, an ill advised remark, about King and Lyndon Johnson. I didn't make the statement. I haven't remarked on it and she I think offended some folks who felt that somehow diminished King's role in bringing about the Civil Rights Act. She is free to explain that, but the notion that somehow this is our doing is ludicrous.

campaign!!


.....I have to point out that instead of telling the American people about her positive vision for America, Senator Clinton spent an hour talking about me and my record in a way that was flat out wrong. She suggested that I didn’t clearly and unambiguously oppose the war in Iraq when it is absolutely clear and anyone who has followed this knows that I did. I stood up against the war when she was voting for it, at a time when she didn’t read the intelligence reports or give diplomacy a chance. She belittled the most sweeping ethics reform since Watergate despite the fact that she stood on the sidelines during that negotiations on that bill.

"I have to say that she started this campaign saying that she wanted to make history and lately she has been spending a lot of time rewriting it. I know that in Washington it is acceptable to say or do anything it takes to get elected but I really don't think that is the kind of politics that is good for our party and I don't think it is good for our country and I think that the American people will reject it in this election. What I want to do is spend talking about how we are going to make sure that people who are losing their jobs get work. How are we going to make sure that our young people are going to afford college? How are we going to make sure that the sub-prime lending crisis does not lead to an all out recession? How are we going to create the kind of foreign policy that allows us to bring our troops home and makes us safer and goes after a genuine terrorist threat? Those are the issues that we are going to spend time talking about in this campaign and if Senator Clinton wants to be distracted by the sorts of political point scoring that was evident today then that is going to be her prerogative."

3. Obama is a savvy politician.

He is using every trigger-manipulation tool there is in his war chest. Denial of any culpability yet he's playing every race card in the deck...." Swiftboat Barak" I call him.

6. Barack has his minions doing his bidding for him.

Still, his side has been playing the race card from day one. It is coming to light now because the attacks on Hillary are clearly overt. As you said, he is savvy politician. That is where his supporters are fools to think that he is something special. He is NOT!
I prefer to call him "Senator Swiftboat Obama".

Shelby Steele had a take on how there is a good chance that this will backfire on him.

5. Ignored

You need to grow up and visualize what 16 more years of Republican rule would be like.

7. If you want 16 more years of Repukes, then cast that vote for Hillary

Hillary does NOT provide a healthy margin of victory in head-to-head match-ups against the Repuke candidate field. There is a sizable group of Repukes that will turn out just to VOTE AGAINST HER and there is also a sizable group of Democrats that will NEVER VOTE FOR HER. So, keep on living the lie and enjoy watching your lady go down in flames during the general election.
