(CNN) - The Obama campaign released a recording Saturday that they said was a last-minute negative robo-call received by a Nevada voter.
The call attacks the Illinois senator and emphasizes his little-used middle name, repeatedly referring to “Barack Hussein Obama.” The Obama campaign posted an mp3 of the call on the Internet. (outside link)
"I'm calling with some important information about Barack Hussein Obama," says the anonymous caller. "Barack Hussein Obama says he doesn't take money from Washington lobbyists or special interest groups, but the record is clear that he does."
The male voice concludes: "You just can't take a chance on Barack Hussein Obama."

This is all completeley ridiculous! Even Obama could have had someone record this message after he lost! There is no race card, and neither Obama or Hillary have done anything to participate in the race dispute. Actually, I would believe Obama had someone in his campaign push it to be a big deal in the media. Hillary was simply emphasizing the need for a president to be good at passing legeislation through Congress. Afterall, that was the failure of Carter. I was not a fan of Hillary when she was first lady,, however I knew qt leqst she adired qnd idolized MLK! I think she has since become a lady of class and dignity after serving in the senate. Now she is ready to deal with Congress, and as for her voting record it is almost identicle as Obamas with the exception of 1 or 2 votes out of thousands, when Obama is in fact voting. In only 3 years as a senator he has missed 254 votes, more than 2 times as many as Hillary in 7 years serving twice as long as him. And if Obama claims to be able to unite people, then why does he deny his Muslim roots and that he attended a Mosque in Indonesia from age 6 – 10. For me the fact that he has muslim roots, a muslim father and christian mother, is the only interesting thing about him. If he were open about this he could do a lot to unite muslim and Christians in America, and more especially with our Middle East ties! The Middle East is a needed traded partner, and ofr other purposes besides oil. Emirates will be out of oil in 15 years, explaining why they are modernizing their culture and opening their economy! Even Squdi as opened their economy to tourism in cities around he unexplored diving sites of the Saudi Red Sea Coast!
Bush has largely ignored the economy and especially the International economy and been focused mainly on Iraq. We need to get out of Iraq and focus on peace and International Trade, as well as the domestic economy. If the US wants to be a world leader, then it needs to be competitive internationally and respect the ideas and cultures of the international community. I am Republican, but the only Republican candidate with any 'economic' intelligence is Huckabee, and although McCain is an honorable and respectable candidate, he is too military, and Romney is only a smart business man, and has a protectionist philosophy for non-competitive business. Obama is a lawyer by nature and I am sorry to offend any Obama supporters, but he talks good, however he is full of contradictions and a double talker, and he is a green kid. He will get whipped by congress! There is not any candidate who is perfect or that I agree with everything about, but the most important thing the US needs to do is restore it's foreign relations and image to the world, so regardless if I like or agree with everything about Hillary, she is the best candidate to restore the respect of the US. People, please start looking at a bigger picture than party, and also beyond US borders! It does not matter if someone is a democrat or republican, but if what they see and what they believe in is right for our country, and not only if they are respected inside the US, but also internationally by other governments and foreign people. I live outside of the US, and Hillary is very well respected and the top choice of most Americans and non-Americans living overseas for the reasons I gave.
"whatthe" do your searches, I commend you. Thankfully someone will make a clear decision on facts!
Just don't be too hard on WORKINGMAN when you find out the facts, he couldn't list all Clintons misdealing's on one comment space, it is far too long.
Don't be surprised after checking the real facts when you find yourself typing in caps
ANYONE BUT HILLARY '08
For a lot of reasons, I've had a hard time deciding between Obama and Clinton, but message bards like this one have made that decision much easier for me. I think you can tell a lot about a candidate by the people who support them.
What I see on these message boards is a lot of childish fussiness from Obama supporters, many stating they will vote Republican if Obama doesn't win the nomination. What???? So you're al basically saying the issues are irrelevant, right?
I can understand having a tough time deciding between the two, since they are virtually identical on all the major issues. But saying you'd choose to completely jump ship if Obama doesn't win is tantamount to a child whining that s/he won't eat dinner at all if dinner isn't pizza.
Grow up. The issues matter. You're voting for president OF THE UNITED STATES, not president of student council. You shouldn't just have a temper tantrum because your pal doesn't win.
This should also be a wake-up call to all those who espouse the belief that Obama can unite us. Look at these boards. Clinton's supporters make it clear here that they'd love to see Hillary in office, but they'll do what they have to to insure problems like the war and the economy are handled correctly. Obama's supporters threaten to completely switch parties if things don't go their way. If that isn't divisive, then you people have a rather creative definition of the term.
I think that you Hillary folks should pay attention to us. WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!! We are not threatening; we will do it. We will stay at home or we will vote Republican.
Pay attention to our RAGE because it is real. You can pay attention or call us stupid, childish, whatever. Without our support, Hillary will not be president.
She needs to clean up her act. Fast!
Oh brother, they have done something again. They have campaigned to get last minute voters. Okay...I don't get it people, what am I missing? These kinds of calls go out all the time. This is news?
Obama used nasty spanish ads to get votes, so what's the difference. It took them a little more than a day to make new complaints.
Well said Alvis – right now those supporting Hillary are the majority of the Democratic base and those who support Obama believe in his message of change (or because they are anti-Hillary
) BUT by the comments of most of his followers – such as those (mostly males and young women) who threaten to hold their breath until they turn purple and pass out and then to vote Republican (because they don't understand the different party platforms or as males don't care?!) sadly belie Obama's message of hope and Unity.
Their sense of identity and party affiliation are still maturing and evolving. Many undoubtedly don't even realize the implications of this election on the future of the Supreme Court and why it is so important. In many ways "they mimic their hero by mocking and making fun of the other candidates AND their supporters" with childish and petty snide remarks.
They display the anger and impatience of youth while bashing and belittling the wisdom of age. Yet still we love them because they are our own sons and daughters and perhaps grandchildren. So we can understand their passion although we question their candidate. And come November 4th we will cast our vote accordingly...
there's no future with obama. he simply doesn't have enough exp to clean up bush's leftover. i'm a republican and i truly admire clinton's work as president. i think hilary is the way to go to revitalize us economy.
What do you expect from Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton.
Yes she lied to the great mountain climber and the rest of the world
that she was name after the man.
Friday she told Tyra Banks that the I have a Dream speech transfixed and transformed. Apparently not so much since she then went to campaign
for Goldwater who was adamantly oppossed to Civil Rights legislation, and invited openly racist southern democrats like strom thurmond and Jesse Helms to become Republicans.
