We're talking events of a week and Clinton has the audacity to feed THESE recent, uh, days-old, hours-old events to the Revise-History, Scorch-Earth, Didn't-Inhale Clinton Machine? And who's coming to dinner? Bob who? So, last week, during the NH primary campaign when they were feeling pretty desperate with the polls and everything (you with me so far -- this is true, right? Happened? We all on the same page so far?), Bill appears at a campaign event and says Obama's story is a fairy tale. He can't make his wife taller, make her male, make her, well, Obama, Bill whines bitterly. Bill's very angry about this -- can't you see? You're missing something here -- read my lips, he whispers, "she's Female, come on!" Then, shortly after Bill's remarks, Hillary herself says: "Dr. King had been on the front lines. He had been leading a movement. But Dr. King understood, which is why he made it very clear, that there has to be a coming to terms of our country politically in order to make the changes that would last for generations beyond the iconic, extraordinary speeches that he gave. That's why he campaigned for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. That's why he was there when those great pieces of legislation were passed. Does he deserve the lion's share of the credit for moving our country and moving our political process? Yes, he does." After Hillary basically says, "Hey Obama, don't give too much credit to what Dr. Martin Luther King dreamt of -- all this hope stuff is false. Yeah, let's not have "false hopes." I mean, MLK had to get Lyndon B. Johnson to do the real work, remember? Unlike what you think, that white man was really the one who got all the work done for your civil rights movement stuff." Senator Obama in the meanwhile, stays quiet. All in the meanwhile, with all these headlines going back and forth, regarding what I outlined above, Senator Obama says nada. The news sort of talk about these remarks by the Clintons. Sort of. There are other headline news. Clinton comes first in NH, and some people think it's because she almost cried, and she makes a speech and says, "Okay, I'll try and cry more often folks, should've listened to you a bit more carefully -- huh. THAT's what you wanted?" Senator Obama still stays quiet. All in the meanwhile, with all these headlines going back and forth, regarding what I outlined above, Senator Obama says nada. Then, uh uh, problems for the Clintons. Clyburn, the top ranking black politician, gets angry at the Clintons' remarks (and maybe he also got peeved at other vicious Clinton lies, e.g., Bill claiming he was against the war from the beginning when there's undisputed evidence of speeches he gave supporting Bush on Iraq war?). "You guys being racist here?" Clyburn wonders incredulously. Senator Obama still stays quiet. All in the meanwhile, with all these headlines going back and forth, regarding what I outlined above, Senator Obama says nada. So, the Clintons, who desperately need the black vote, then go on radio to Al Sharpton saying, "Hey, Obama is a great guy, he can win, no, no, no, he's no fairy tale." Obama, in the meanwhile, still keeps quiet. Hillary now goes on Meet the Press and says, "It's Obama's fault. He's been twisting my words, and oh my god, people, HE IS MAKING RACE AN ISSUE! AND I'M CRYING, SEE MY TEARS???" So, Obama finally responds, "Uhm. You know, this is kinda fascinating to me. I mean, I didn't say a word? Did anyone hear me say anything about this?" Nope, Senator. It's just the crazy Clintons again, and some crazy Americans believing the crap, as they do sometimes. Sigh. This is pretty incredible, unbelievable.

People need to pay attention to her remarks, about how she wants to reverse things. What exactly did you mean by reversing things? Are you referring to the entitlement programs, that are usually called pork barrel spending. I see you and John McCain have the same ideas in mind. 10 years will have to pass before you or anybody else thinks they are going to reverse laws on the books are sadly mistaken. The candidates need to be careful about how they speak on certain issues. I urge all of you to stay clear of the 109th Congressional Laws, also the 110th Congress. If these are the things you are hoping to put in reverse mode you're sadly mistaken. Sen. Clinton and Sen. McCain seem to be on the same path of utterly destruction! I feel none of the candidates except Sen. Obama can speak on Civil Rights issues, for the simple fact you have not contributed to any of the milestones that have been made over the last 40 years plus! Minorities need to re-evaluate who you need to stand by rather who you want to stand by. don't write your obituary too soon. I suggest you review how these candidates vote in the Senate on certain issues, not just whats presented to the public in their campaigns. I believe you will have a better understanding of whats at stake here. You need to look past the here and now, and research what is stored ahead for minorities and people of color, as well as poor white americans, and blue collar workers. I urge everyone of you to vote responsibly, ethically, morally on issues that have significant impacts on your lives and your children, you need to reach deeper than the surface. Just to validate this post it does not matter if it is posted or not, it won't affect my strategic mission to uphold and represent the under-represented minority faction in this political process. God does not bless mess! And for me, the utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the Gospel. For which I am an ambassador in bonds; that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. Hillary made a comment while in New Hampshire, regarding how america has been stifled.

Another one of the latest: comments in the British paper The Guardian by an anonymous Clinton adviser that the only white voters supporting Obama are those wanting a "cool black friend" (as opposed to those voters wanting social change, presumably, Clintonistas). This is but the latest of a series of comments by the Clinton campaign seeking to inject race into this election. This appears to be consistent with a past prediction made by Dick Morris -- a Republican spin-meister who was a previous personal political adviser to Slick Willy, until Morris scandalously had a telephone conference with the Oval Office while Morris was in his office on speaker phone with a prostitute. The prostitute later went public, leading to an acrimonious breakup with then sitting President Clinton. Morris, who knows the Clintons and their scorched earth political tactics, predicted that Hillary would seed stores drawing attention to the topic of Race. Each story could be individually spun, but collectively would create a media story focusing on this divisive issue. She and her team hope -- according to Morris -- both that her complicity in the incitement will be sufficiently measured to avoid detection or blame, and for Obama to overreact.

I'm not a Democrat (or a Republican for that matter), but what I see from my distance is that Obama would win because he would unite the country and engage the apolitical, and Hillary would lose because she practices divisive politics, and is repulsive to virtually all the Republicans and now many of the Democrats and independents. Hillary has such ridiculous baggage that Obama could have thrashed her with effective attacks (certainly the Republicans will). This shows me Obama is indeed above negative politicking - and it's working. It's sad that the only thing the Clintons have against Obama is some quotes from years ago and some race baiting. Experience does not matter either way - the President is a figurehead and a symbol of America to the world, and his advisors form the policy meat. As long as Obama surrounds himself with experts and experienced advisers, he should have no problem managing the country and keeping a high level of all-around support and bipartisanship. Clinton would have a more difficult time because everyone across the aisle hates her guts and thinks she is corrupt. And what experience does she have again? All the Democratic candidates with more than a decade of experience as elected or appointed officials are gone.

Chocolate is better with marshmallow and nuts or I guess for Senator Clinton we would have to hold the nuts. I think it is clear that none of the Clintons are racists. I really hate it when people make race such an issue. Why can't people look at voting track records, past accomplishments, political agendas, experience, intelligence and policies.

That is 430% salary increase. 3) How can Obama make claims that he was against the war when he wasn't even in the senate? Why did he vote to fund the war if he was against it?

And I actually forgot a few things: (19) Hillary uses Fear card ("[Obama presidency] could be the costliest on the job training") (20) The ridiculous "he wanted to be president in Kindergarten" smear (21) The entire "Charlie Rose Show" interview with Bill ("it's a roll of the dice") (22) Hillary accusing him of being a "part-time state senator" Here's my original list again: (1) Telling an audience member not to ask Hillary about the war during a CNN debate (2) Bob Kerrey's "Muslim/madrassa" rumor (3) Bill Shaheen's "drug dealer" rumor (4) Mark Penn mentioning "cocaine" on "Hardball" (5) Andrew Cuomo's "shuck and jive" comment (6) The anonymous Clinton advisor's "imaginary black friend" comment (7) Hillary dismissing the legacy of Martin Luther King (8) Bill calling Obama a "kid" (9) Distorting Obama's record on abortion, the war ("fairy tale"), the Patriot Act (10) Slamming his "lack of experience" when he has more experience as an elected official than she has and spent more time changing lives on a grassroots level than she could ever hope to (11) Planting audience members at rallies (12) Copping the talking points and even campaign slogans of the other major candidates (13) The "iron our shirts!" plants, leading to her "sexism" comment (14) Changing her resume from "experience" to "35 years of experience" to "35 years of change" (15) Recruiting Massachusetts residents to fill up her New Hampshire rallies (16) "That hurts my feelings" (so obviously sarcastic, but everyone took it at face value) (17) Tearing up before the New Hampshire primary…and attacking Obama in the next breath (18) Finally "finding her voice"…despite having "35 years of experience and change" Typical Clintonian dirty politics. Please America, I'm begging you...SOUNDLY REJECT THIS CRAP THIS TIME AROUND!!! Vote Obama or Edwards. Thanks Pinga. And I actually forgot a few things:

(19) Hillary uses Fear card ("[Obama presidency] could be the costliest on the job training")
(20) The ridiculous "he wanted to be president in Kindergarten" smear
(21) The entire "Charlie Rose Show" interview with Bill ("it's a roll of the dice")
(22) Hillary accusing him of being a "part-time state senator"

Here's my original list again:

(1) Telling an audience member not to ask Hillary about the war during a CNN debate
(2) Bob Kerrey's "Muslim/madrassa" rumor
(3) Bill Shaheen's "drug dealer" rumor
(4) Mark Penn mentioning "cocaine" on "Hardball"
(5) Andrew Cuomo's "shuck and jive" comment
(6) The anonymous Clinton advisor's "imaginary black friend" comment
(7) Hillary dismissing the legacy of Martin Luther King
(8) Bill calling Obama a "kid"
(9) Distorting Obama's record on abortion, the war ("fairy tale"), the Patriot Act
(10) Slamming his "lack of experience" when he has more experience as an elected official than she has and spent more time changing lives on a grassroots level than she could ever hope to
(11) Planting audience members at rallies
(12) Copping the talking points and even campaign slogans of the other major candidates
(13) The "iron our shirts!" plants, leading to her "sexism" comment
(14) Changing her resume from "experience" to "35 years of experience" to "35 years of change"
(15) Recruiting Massachusetts residents to fill up her New Hampshire rallies
(16) "That hurts my feelings" (so obviously sarcastic, but everyone took it at face value)
(17) Tearing up before the New Hampshire primary…and attacking Obama in the next breath
(18) Finally "finding her voice"…despite having "35 years of experience and change"

Typical Clintonian dirty politics. Please America, I'm begging you...SOUNDLY REJECT THIS CRAP THIS TIME AROUND!!! Vote Obama or Edwards.

He said plainly for people who actually understand english, that the press has been outrageous in their preferential and slanted reporting of the race. Clinton is totally right. It is a fairy tale that Mr. Obama will realize to think you can clean up washington with one year of experience. The republicans are chomping at the bit. They will make mince meat of him......they cannot with Hillary. She knows how to get things done. Turn the page is right, BACK to the days when someone, CLINTON, was in the white house and things functioned and the economy was great and we were respected in the world. I voted for Bill and I will DEFINTELY voite for Hillary. If she doesn't win the nod, I will vote for McCain. what a load of press media slanted for Obama crap.

Bill Clinton - "I was against the war from the beginning." ALL OF THIS STEMS FROM THE FACT THAT THE CLINTONS CANNOT DEFEND THEIR DECISION TO BACK ILLEGAL AND UNJUSTIFIED WAR IN IRAQ. Whether or not Obama took a speech down from his website in 2004 matters not. What matters is that when the time came to make big decisions, Obama spoke out on the side of truth, and Hillary caved in to her political consultants for short term political gain. Do you want a war mongering polarizing hypocrite to become your president? A woman who is owned by the corporate interests? You're living in a dream world if you don't see that McCain will destroy Hillary in the general election. This eleciton is all about getting the independents. Independents will go for Obama. They won't go for Hillary in a million years. If you want 8 more years of republican rule and a republican dominated supreme court, vote for Hillary. Or better yet, tear up your ballot and throw it in the trash. It amounts to about the same thing. THERE IS ONLY ONE FAIRY TALE.
