This is the problem with Hillary Clinton's campaign. They're not satisfied with taking the political points that the media awards them in these situations. They've got to take it to 11. When Saturday Night Live pointed out, accurately, that the media was going at her like ants on a damp lollipop while giving Obama a free pass, her strategists scripted an awkward joke for her to drop into the debate at the worst time.
When questions about the inspirations behind Barack Obama's speeches were getting some play, again, the little Mark Penn on her shoulder was like, "Do a Xerox joke!"
After her 3am ad seemed to resonate with Big State voters, she pronounced John McCain "King of All Commanders-in-Chief."
Now, not satisfied with the blizzard of crap being flung at Barack Obama for leveling with small town America about how they've been hoodwinked for decades, she's out to convince them that she's a pistol-packin', gun lovin' 2nd Amendmentophile on a par with "Varmint Hunter" Mitt Romney. All she accomplishes is lookoing foolish and reinforcing the false narrative that Democrats are against the 2nd Amendment. Bullseye?
Tommy Xtopher, i do believe that, as an ardent Obama supporter, you just woke up this morning and thought you have a way to make it so obama's mistakes are, once again, because, "Hillary clinton did it all." Obama will have to live with his mistakes for a while and nothing you do can change that. HE BLEW IT!!! When obama went to California elite , who are funding his campaign, to pander and disrespect common Americans , he said a lot more about himself than he wanted to let out. Describing Hillary as a "gun-totting" is three time worse a take on the issues than HiLllry ever did with any of Obama's mistakes. Your take is downright stupid!!! If we had a miniature Patrick Devall, we might put him in Obama's pocket so Obama could lipsynch. Your messiah or preacher man, Obama , on his own, out there, is a loose cannon. He is ever so tentative when he speaks without teleprompters or prepared speeches because he is an empy suit., pied piper, no substance.Obama has nothing to say for calling Americans, "clinging to religion, guns and values because they are bitter." Obama is clueless. STOP DEFENDING THIS PIED PIPER, Tommy

FORGET THE WABBITS, H.R.C IS ON A WITCH HUNT. PARKING HER BROOM AT OBAMA'S DOOR INSTEAD OF FLYING ON THE MERITS SHE LACKS.
I have seen and heard Obama's words that have sparked already negative people to react. That means Obama is in touch with the pulse of the voters. I totally agree with his words of truth that he dared to speak. We know H.R.C. is always ready to pounce;she is short on ethics, money and votes. The news media makes a living on stories; telling it like it is or making it a bit more juicy depending on where they spin from. Frencied bloggers wait with baited breath to find any tiny spec on their opposer's.
America is angry. The Moral Majority call it rightious indignation and their Bible reads that even Jesus was angry when he overthrew the money-changer's table.
Americans are angry with their governement; the lies and self-servingness that has left the public out of the loop.
The Boston Tea Party was a display of anger by angry people angry at government.
2008, will bring angry voters out in mass. The trend has already been seen, not only in Obama's massive rallys but at the polls.
H.R.C. has not drawn massive crowds for she is part of the problem not part of the solution.
Those who are angry vent their anger in many ways; either in a positive or negative direction.
The reason for Hillary and Bill's anger is nothing more than they feel they had an entitlement that Barack Obama has infringed on. I get daily emails from H.R.C. campaign, each and every one cry about the money Obama has raised, compared to H.R.C's email Obama has raised them 4-1.
What do I think of H.R.C. and W.J.C.? I wouldn't spend a dime to blow either of them up.
A NEW BROOM SWEEPS CLEAN: Our future will require more than the Clintons can offer. Ann's Answering Service can take calls at 3AM. No big deal. H.R.C. has no experiance whatsoever to be commander-in-chief no matter how she spins it to make you thinks she does. Matter of fact, H.R.C is not big with majority of men voters nor majority of smart woman either.
Scroll down the blog and see who Obama made the speech to. I think that's more important than what he said. He was on "billionaires row" in San Francisco speaking to the elitist of the elite and he wonders why we are wondering if he's an elitist?
Nice try Xtopher, but you can't make it go away, even by making fun of Hillary Clinton (which is business as usual anyway we know).

To my wonderful fellow Hillary Clinton admirers: The Barack Obama discussion is a couple of pages back. This post is about Hillary's advisers coaching her on how to help Republicans. Why don't you get on their case for a change? They're the ones making her look bad.
Do you really think that Hillary: Varmint Hunter is gonna help her? Really? Because I would call that flawed analysis.

Once again looking foolish you try to blame Hillary like all the other naive media ...who are blind and deaf to the lies of Obama..Read Political Forum.com Elections and Campaigns by Latisha as to the 50 lies Obama has told ..now 51...and counting... as he once again lies his way out of his latest blunder...Obama clearly made that racist statement about people not accepting a black man and about the small town america(watch video of his comment before the small town comment on huffington post) ..to make excuses to the Elite group he was talking to... as to why he was not winning Pennsylvania..and that people are idiots for not voting for him..THERE IS NO OTHER REASON TO SAY WHAT HE SAID!!.The reality people are naive and idiots for voting for a man who lies on top of lies and people then buy his flimsy excuse...We were gullible on teaching the musselims to fly air planes in our country so they can creat havoc on 911 but to put someone like this guy who may very well be a Muslim ...check out his book...and his long list of ill associated people, mafia Rezko, antisemetic Farragon, the antiamerican Rev. Wright, the pentagon bomber ect. ect.Just imagine a Muslim running our country if that should turn out to be the case.THAT WOULD BE THE END OF US!! GUILLABLE PEOPLE!!..Why would we even entertain that idea!!! Hillary we KNOW IS NO MUSLIM and 35 years in our government and in the White house during the biggest peace keeping time in America and the biggest economic growth of any presidency.AND AMERICA NEEDS BILL CLINTON to mend fences around the world because he is the only person can bring his good relations to the table with countries that now Hate AMERICA because of our invasion of Iraq..THESE are the two biggest issues concerning America today!!.AMERICA SHOULD OPEN THEIR EYES AND EARS AND BE VERY AFRAID!

TOMMY XTOPHER, on a more familiar note, the reason Hillary is "gun-totting" is because she is a female. just conjuring up images, aren't we? McCain, made a measurably stronger statement against Obama ,why is McCain not "gun-totting."

Trinity United Church of Christ
Obama mentioned his church during his appearance with Oprah. It's the 'Trinity United Church of Christ'.
It is very alarming. Barack Obama is a member of this church and is running for President of the U.S. If you look at the first page of their Web site, you will learn that this congregation has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. No where is America even mentioned. Notice too, what color you will need to be if you should want to join Obama's church? Does this surprise anyone?
Doesn't look like his choice of religion has improved much over his Muslim upbringing. This guy wants to rule America while his loyalty is totally vested in a black Africa !
I cannot believe this has not been all over the TV and newspapers. This is why it is so important to pass this message along to all our family and friends. To think that Obama has even the slightest chance in the run for the presidency is really scary.

Obama said: "Foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain." He bases this on a college trip to Pakistan and living over-seas as a child? What an arrogant, self-important declaration.

I had to laugh when reading your headline very funny. Too damn funny.
I have to also agree with you as far as her advisors, they are playing this hand way to heavy , sometimes you need to close your mouth and let them hang themselves. Just like during the debate when she keep asking Obama to denounce the good Rev. she should have zipped it and let it him hang him on that one .. on National TV no less but nooooooo .....she had to keep badgering him until he denounced the Rev.
Should have just let it go..
For The Love Of God where does she find these people????? Are they being paid to sabotage her run? Is that the ploy???

50.) Wal-Mart Is A Company I Wouldn’t Support - LIAR, your wife has received nearly a quater of a million dollars through Treehouse, which is connected to Wal-Mart.
51.) Treehouse Is A Small Company - LIAR, the CEO of Treehouse last year, made more than the CEO of Wal-Mart, according to public records.
52.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair - LIAR, your wife’s pay raise was nearly 150% her already bloated rate and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!
53.)I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - LIAR, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko’s wife buys the lot beside it that you can’t afford, saving you $625,000.
54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - LIAR, you only gave back Hsu ($72K) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN OBAMA, it’s $250k) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.
55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - LIAR, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.
56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - LIAR, you still have yet to repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.
57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - LIAR, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over by special interests such as him.
58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said “Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.”
59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - LIAR. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. PS - You had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clinton’s and McCain’s more than a year before!
60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - LIAR. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. PS - He also seems to despise America.
61.) My wife didn’t mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - LIAR. Again, MicHELLe’s comments perfectly sync with Wright’s, Meeks’, and Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.
62.) I am very Anti-Terror - LIAR. [03/30/2008] One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed khalidi, Professor at Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS - Your church published a pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you weren’t there on THAT Sunday either? How lucky for you.
63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. [03/30/2008] You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?
64) I played greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion - LIAR - [03/31/2008] It was found that Obama — the day after sitting for the interview — filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes added to one answer. Read Obama had greater role on liberal survey
65) I did NOT play the race card: - LIAR - [03/31/2008] Obama was the first to play the race card. According to Phialdelphia Inquirer, Quietly, the storm over the hateful views expressed by Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has blown away the most insidious myth of the Democratic primary campaign. Obama and his surrogates have charged that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has deliberately and cleverly played the race card in order to label Obama the “black” candidate. Read more here
66) I did not take money from oil companies: - LIAR - [03/31/2008]
THE FACTS: True enough, Obama does not take money from oil companies. No candidate does. It is illegal for corporations to give money to politicians. Corporations, however, do have political action committees that collect voluntary donations from employees and then donate them to candidates. Obama doesn’t take money from PACs. He also doesn’t take money from lobbyists.
But he does accept money from executives and other employees of oil companies and two of his fundraisers are oil company executives. As of Feb. 29, Obama’s presidential campaign had received nearly $214,000 from oil and gas industry employees and their families, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Clinton had received nearly $307,000 from industry workers and their families and Republican Sen. John McCain, the likely GOP presidential nominee, received nearly $394,000, according to the center’s totals.
Two of Obama’s fundraisers are Robert Cavnar, the chairman and chief executive of Houston-based Mission Resources Corp., and George Kaiser, the president and CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Co. Source: Associated press via Yahoo News
67) “I don’t think my church is actually particularly controversial,” Obama said at a community meeting in Nelsonville, Ohio, earlier this month. - LIAR - But yesterday, he told a different story. “Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes,” he said in his speech yesterday in Philadelphia.
68) Look at my education record in Illinois - LIAR - In reality, Obama never really championed the local councils. He supported them behind the scenes and only eventually came out publicly on their behalf. When he did weigh in, he came down on the wrong side of the debate—against protecting principals from unwarranted dismissals and in favor of keeping councils independent, no matter what. In the end, the resolution of the conflict between the two sides didn’t alleviate anyone’s concerns. Instead, it prolonged a turf battle that seems to have dragged down academic progress in the years since. Read more here http://www.slate.com/id/2188010?wpisrc=newsletter Source: slate.com
