It is clear that we haven’t moved as far forward as we would’ve liked. I’ve seen politicians do what the Clintons have done over and over. Lyndon Johnson did it, Reagan did it in California and i could go on and on. They say 2% truth and sell it as 100%. Then they blame the victim or have someone from their campaign say something damaging but off topic, then disown the staff member. Incredible

Don’t fall for it people…

I admired Hillary for standing up to Bush on the Dubai port deal. Of course, I did not know at that time that hubby Bill was one earning millions on the blood, sweat and tears of sweat shop like labor to build that jet set luxury resort. Some of those displaced Iraqi’s that went to Dubai to earn, did not get paid at all. Their pay was withheld for months at a time and when they quit they were not given their earned slave wages.

I imagine Bob Johnson could afford to pay those $1,000. a night hotel prices in Dubai. It is rather a Bush/Cheney/Clinton monarchy that the people are voting for at the expense of the poor and middle class.

Hillary does not want the press to talk about why her health care plan did not get implemented. She would not share details with other and refused to compromise on the plan. She did say she learned something from that experience and this time..

The mandatory plan with government penalty makes little sense. Many of those uninsured are veterans~even Iraqi vets~being denied their earned benefits by the government they served to earn it. Then, she knows most people are tired of Iraq and want the troops out, so she goes right ahead and votes yes to the Iran Resolution, despite cautions from China and Russia for the US not to invade Iran. Her excuse for Iraq was “faulty intelligence” what intelligence is she using now?

We are in debt to China to pay for Iraq, even middle class people are feeling a financial pinch due to rising oil prices, and she thinks we can afford Iran? What does she care? She and Bill can always relocate to Dubai if the US of A goes down the tubes.

Yes, indeed, they want the public to think Obama is playing the race card, just as she has been playing the gender card with breaking her ultimate glass ceiling. She is effectively dividing people, whereas Obama unites. If she gets the Dem bid the Republicans can be almost assured a win, as those who refuse to vote Clinton ditch the party.

I still recall her looks of disgust in a debate when Obama answered a question and she said the government has to lie to the people in opposition to his telling the truth about reasons for war. I did understand her reasonings: do not know the enemy what we are up to. But with all the spying going on and the Weapons of Mass Destruction lies, I want the truth from our elected officials, not more Hitler propaganda.

Now her new ads she stresses “transparent government”. She has zero scruples. She simply steals and lies with her smiling face.

Bill’s today headline is “Obama Camp Stirs Stirs Up Trouble” with the race card. Actually his wife did that. I lived through those years when she was a Goldwater girl working to elect one of the 5 Republican senators that voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. She also forgot the two Civil Rights Acts passed prior to that one. Gee, I was hurt by that “it took a president to get it done” comment. It took the courage of thousands to get it done. Many paid with their lives. Some still alive today that saw their loved ones lynched, houses burned down and so on.

I did not support Clinton due to Iraq and Code Pink. Now I absolutely hate her and Bill also. Tired of their lies and drama.

Should Obama’s surrogates play dirty by raising the question.
“Where was Hillary when Monica was playing with her husband’s Johnson ?”
“Does Hillary count as her ‘experience’ her leadership of the Bimbo Eruption Team ?”
“Are there anymore bimbos that we haven’t heard of, Yet ?
“What about that court case against you and your husband being processed in the California Courts against you and your husband on charges of
(1) FRAUD AND DECEIT;
(2) NEGLIGENT
MISREPRESENTATION;
(3) UNFAIR BUSINESS
PRACTICES;
(4) UNJUST ENRICHMENT;
and
(5) CIVIL CONSPIRACY; “

They want to nudge—even provoke—Barack Obama into becoming the “black” candidate rather than the healing, unity candidate. They want black supporters to raise their voices on his behalf—preferably the Al Sharpton types who will shrilly cry “racism” and thus exacerbate the divide.

That’s why Billary changed the conversation in New Hampshire, risking some anger against them in the black communities—anger they know would be assuaged in a general election. Okay, let him carry South Carolina, as long as he is tagged with Afrocentrism.

I hate defending Obama because he is just a politician. But Jeff, you are usually so sharp and you have gone blind about this Hillary thing.

It’s not the only instance, either. The flap over Hillary’s MLK remarks is another example. Genuflecting before the memory of MLK is a reflexive action for Democratic candidates (and even some Republicans). She probably works at least one MLK reference into every single speech without even thinking about it. Patronizing? Sure. But race baiting? No, not until Obama’s people try to spin it that way.

The point is when Obama’s campaign gets to decide what’s offensive to black people they will always find something. All they have to do is “look hard enough”, to quote you. That, my friend, is “playing the race card”. If Obama can (through his people) successfully tag her as a racist (or, at least “questionable”), her campaign will evaporate.

Of course Hillary isn’t exactly taking the high road, as she’s doing the same thing with her gender. In both cases it’s good politics for securing the Democratic nomination. But I think it will hurt them in the general election.

Eagerly waiting your response.

So white people simply won’t talk about it except to agree racism is bad. Bad, bad, bad! And when 82% of the society won’t talk about something, what kind of discussion are you having?

“I’m the biggest victim because I’m black. Oh my God, she said ’spadework’.”

“No, I am because I’m a woman. Look, I’m crying! He’s picking on a girl.”

I wonder what the plan is for the general election. Outside the Democratic party this kind of thing doesn’t play very well, so the more strident it gets the more damaged the eventual candidate will be. It will be interesting to see if said candidate can do a 180 degree turn from abject victim to fearless leader in the months between the end of primaries and the general.

Only the most exuberant Obama supporter would link questions about his teenage drug use as being racist. It’s not. However, when at least two Clinton supporters (Billy Shaheen and Bob Johnson) either outright suggest “drug dealing” (instead of simply use of drugs), it crosses a line into the racial. How come Al Gore, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were never asked about drug dealing? I’m sorry, but if you can’t see the Clinton campaign’s race-baiting, you’re just not looking hard enough.

Four days after he made an unmistakable allusion to Obama’s teenage drug use and even referred to him as Sidney Poitier, Clinton supporter Bob Johnson apologized to Obama for those remarks.

“I’m writing to apologize to you and your family personally for the un-called-for comments I made at a recent Clinton event,” Johnson said in a statement. “In my zeal to support Senator Clinton, I made some very inappropriate remarks for which I am truly sorry. I hope that you will accept this apology. Good luck on the campaign trail.”

And I don’t know about LBJ, but it’s ridiculous to suggest that MLK gets all the credit for the civil rights movement, and that giving credit to anyone else is an affront to him, and racist too.

It’s interesting that Clinton, playing the gender card, does so in a positive manner - Vote for me - the first woman president will represent real change, while Obama is mostly playing the race card in a negative manner - There are certain things you can’t say about me because I’m black. Of course Clinton is also using gender negatively - It’s not fair to gang up on the only woman running.

What’s amusing and slightly disturbing is the level of animosity some of their supporters have for each other. Geez, publish some criticism about either and you get accused of being a sleazy shill for the other. C’mon people, there are plenty of bad things to say about both.

The whole episode has convinced me he isn’t tough enough for the White House.

Not tough enough? I thought this clip showed plenty of toughness (”Well, Hillary, I’m looking forward to you advising me as well.”): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhPxSm9Es0w.

Hillary seems to have a fairly full deck herself which includes the Tearful Woman card and the Wife of the Former President Card.

This is politics…..

I’m disappointed that you’re publishing this anti-Obama propaganda. Just hang your Hillary banner on the blog and be done with it.

Bob Carlton (hey, Bob!) gets it right here. The Clinton campaign is the one on the attack here — constantly! Obama’s people are responding 99.9% of the time to constant attacks. It’s tiresome, and I for one am not fooled by it (as you seem to be).

Wake up and smell the coffee. Clinton is faux change. Obama is the real deal. I pray you see the light

Shalom,
