(CNN) – A day after Hillary Clinton angrily called on Barack Obama to stop mailing campaign literature she said misrepresented her positions, the New York senator adopted a more sarcastic tone toward her rival on a campaign swing through Rhode Island Sunday.
Speaking to a crowd at Rhode Island College, Clinton said, "None of the problems we face will be easily solved," and then went on to mock Obama's message of unity.
“Now, I could stand up here and say, ‘Let’s just get everybody together. Let’s get unified,'" Clinton said to laughter of the crowd.
"The skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect,” she said dryly as the crowd erupted.
“Maybe I’ve just lived a little long, but I have no illusions about how hard this is going to be," Clinton continued. "You are not going to wave a magic wand to make special interests disappear."
Clinton spent much of Sunday in Rhode Island, a state that has long supported both Clintons and votes on March 4, along with Texas, Ohio, and Vermont. With polls showing tight races in Ohio and Texas, and an overwhelming lead for Obama in Vermont, Clinton is hoping for a big win there.
“This little state has a big voice on March 4 to help choose the next president,” she added.

wowwww Hillary. I'm not usually one to jump on the bandwagon of Clinton critique unless truly necessary...but this seems a little childish. Mockery though? How in the world is that reflective of a mature candidate? Simply distinguish yourself with your stance on issues Hillary, there is no need to go the childish route. Out of all the things that Hillary has been accused of, I think this is the first time I agree that she has acted uncharacteristically immature. Don't lose your support by doing such things Hillary.
How can someone who calls people names and makes untruths mock someone other than herself, all I hear from the Clintons is let me Dictate to you and Give Me Your Money.....
Hillary is smart & funny. I love you!
Go hillary!
Mocking Obama!!! isn't that a tad bit childish?????
This is the type of mockery we really don't want to see from a President. It's borderline childish especially coming a couple fo days when Hillary said she was honored to be in the race with Barack.
The writing is on the wall and she can read it loud & clear. Do the honorable thing and bow out after getting knocked out on March 4th. Then you could save some face for a VP slot which I think you'd be a very deserving and able candidate.
Hillary, you're getting petty...
LOVE IT!
Go Hillary!
Are you kidding me? Is this how a president should act? One day being loud and obnoxious, yelling at someone and chastising them, the next day being smarmy and sarcastic? Imagine if she did this to the leaders of Iran, Pakistan, Korea, etc...
Is this how the President of the United States should act?
Hillary knows you can't just "wave a magic wand to make special interests disappear" because she's in the pockets of special interests.
And Joe Scarborough thinks this is great... Sounds like she is having a few hormonal issues. Unfortunately, as a female, most men will find this to be an issue w/any female running for the highest office in the land.
Now Hillary Clinton could just nasally say to her voters, "We want action, not words," but attacking an opponent with her grating voice is not going to just magically win the nomination.
Nice try, but she comes across really ugly as usual.
Cry baby Obama! It was fine when he had things to say about Hillary. He is trying the same poor me, picked upon by the Clinton that he did in South Carolina. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander? He treats his "Fairy Tale " campaign ( Pipe Piper) as if he were the second coming. His supporters follow him down a hollow path, filled with cloud-like platitudes. Hope and change are words , excellent word but you need substance and integrity to make it happen. Obama hasn't always made the right choices either.
Go Hillary!!! Funny How Obama does this all the time but CNN dosen't post about that. She is true. Obama is full of False hope. Im not blinded to it as his cult members are.
Talk about a flip-flopper! In the debate Hillary praises Barack and says what an honor it is to sit next to him. Then the next day she starts the most mean-spirited attacks of the campaign yet.
No wonder she's losing, no consistency, she plays to what ever crowd she's standing in front of on any given day.
I don't expect miracles from Obama, but I do believe that his non-divisive approach to politics gives our nation a far better chance of progress than the Clinton's divide and conquer approach.
Hillary's Positions
1) Served on the Board of UNION HATING Wal-Mart but she states she is for supporting of unions
2) Voted for the war in Iraq even though most Americans feel this was is unsanctioned by George bush
3) Voted for Kyle-Lieberman to extend the war to Iran, but she states she will bring the soldiers home in 60 days.
4) Will provide universal health insurance which will force you to buy it to boost insurance company's profits.
5) Supported NAFTA, but now we know it has caused the lost of millions of jobs.
6) She states she is a strong woman and a fighter, but cries and complains when she doesn’t win.
7) She says she can stand the republican heat but she cannot stand the Democratic heat
8) She states she is vetted and experienced, but has no clue how to run a presidential campaign.
9) She states she hates bush, but t copies his politics of fear and division
10) She states she will be fine because she is on both sides of the issues, but the question is will we be fine?
Thank you Jordan Fitzpatrick for these great insights to Hillary Clinton
Her true "VOICE" is really coming out loud and clear and I know for sure I dont want to hear that "VOICE" for 4 years.... Call Obama what you want but I will be supporting him all the way!!!
Clinton is correct. You are not going to wave a magic wand and have special interest disappear. And if we vote her into office, we are going to feed the system that is dominated by corporate lobbyists and special interest groups. We need to go beyond what we have done during the past 28 years and elect someone besides a Bush or a Clinton to the White House.
I felt she was doing better when she was going for sympothy points. Maybe with her recent Bipolar nature, we will see her wanting sympathy closer to election day for Texas and Ohio. I predict she will have a TEAR or two in the days preceeding the voting.
I know I'm going in to moderation for this one.....
The video was the funniest thing. But then I find Sir Hopeless who lives in Castle Changie Changie in the land of Disunity to be very mockalicious.
If Obama gets elected, MY broken soul will heal and the WORLD will sing a song. If Obama gets elected gumdrops are going to fall from the sky and everyone gets a pony. I want my pony. I'm going to name it "Cupcake."
For all those thinking "why does Hillary not give up" ... remember Gore, had he pressed on for the Florida votes ... what a different world we'd be in right now.
It is very hard to mock the Pied Piper. It will be even harder to mock Chicken Little if she wins. We need long range plans, not imature high school popularity.
Hillary's new campaign theme: "Give up. The special interests that fund my campaign will continue to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom when I'm President. Even if I lose the popular vote, I will do all I can to wheel, deal, and pull the levers of power in the Democratic Party to steal this election, fair and square. There is no hope for you. All of you with college and graduate degrees that are supporting Obama are just plain dumb. Those educations are worthless."
What an ARROGANT thing to say. Of course Obama knows that it will be difficult. This comment of hers really makes me turn off to her politics.
Oh my God... you vile and vindictive shrew! America is tired of this kind of nasty politicking. Get off the stage!
Clinton '08: Abandon hope, all ye who enter here!
Excuse me, but is this the same woman who last thursday was saying how honoured she was to share the stage with BO? this is the same person who said "I agree with senator Obama" so many times that it appeared asif she was applying for a VP position in his staff? She probably really thinks that about half of the USA has really gone mad as they obiovously minlessly follow a charlatan.
Is there anybodyleft in the USA,otherthan Bill perhaps, who takes Mrs Clinton seriously? whoever they are, if yourfalling for this B-movie you really need professional help
What a terrific way to unite the party for the general election. This has moved me toward changing my mind about Hillary receiving my vote should she mount a comeback in this primary campaign. I've no interest in supporting someone who would openly mock my views and question my intelligence. This is a message of "vote for me because I might be jaded and pragmatic enough to be the president."
Between this and her overblown reaction to mailers which basically did the exact same thing her campaign has done in previous months (stretch the truth), I'm getting tired of chameleon routine. But hey, whatever it takes to win right? Who needs integrity?
WOW! Hilary mocking Obama! It must be something that people see in him that they are not seeing in her. To mock him and make fun of his deisre to have hope is disappointing. People need hope. After the Bush adminstration, people have to hope for a change. Not the same old, same old. Obama= Change, Hilary= Same old, same old...
Its like another episode of "The Lucy Show".
OBAMA 08.
I think that Obama supporters get even more fired up when they hear Hillary’s increasing negative attacks. It is clear that Hillary's campaign is sinking, and she's drowning in her own words.
Please leave the stage- please please please. Enough already. When this is over she can either become the lefts version of Rush or start her own church. The Church of St Hillary. All her followers can come and contribute and worship at her feet. Bill can continue (as she put it during the scandle) minstering to young people. The best part of this is she will then have a way to launder all her ill gotten gain. So let's all hear it for St. Hillary's Methodical Church.
Hillary shows once again just how low she can go.
She needs to step aside. If she can't see or appreciate a message of hope and unity, she should let someone else take the lead. Oh...wait...someone else HAS taken the lead.
Her message of her supposed "experience" as first lady will mean little if she comes up against McCain.
Enough already.
I guess the debate on when she will go negative is over. The pic circulated by her campaign with him dressed in the native African clothing is pretty good as well, portraying him as a muslim (again!). Does this mean the gloves have come off, or the ignorance is pouring in?
I thought it was funny!
Hillary "double tongue" Clinton
On Thursday she's gracious and conciliatory. Uplifting, even.
On Friday, she's business as usual, "ready from day 1"
On Saturday she's scolding and derogatory–"shame on you" for doing exactly the same kind of things I"VE been doing...(the do-as-I-say argument of all parents)
And on Sunday? Mocking and sarcastic and dismissive of the idea that hope and inspiration play a role in human/voter motivation–mocking not only Obama...but the 20 or so million folks who'd rather find a way to move the mountain, or navigate the mountain, rather than blow it up.
Is a Hillary Clinton presidency going to change day-by-day based on what seem to be major mood swings over minor issues? If so, lets hope the really bad days ahead for America...coincide with one of Hillary's "good" days.
And there you have it!! This is the real Hillary Clinton. On one hand, she said she was "honored to be on the same stage as Barack Obama". And now she is mocking the foundation of what millions of Americans have adopted as their mantra for creating change in the way Washington does business. The question Hillary has to ask herself is, how well is the most experienced candidate on day one slogan thing working for me? Not very well, I guess because she is resorting to making Sen. Obama and his supporters out to be delusional. Well Hillary, you should take the words to Bill's campaign song to heart. "Don't stop thinking about TOMORROW, don't stop, it will SOON be here, it will BE here, BETTER than BEFORE, YESTERDAY'S GONE, YESTERDAY'S GONE. You are yesterday, Hillary. Barack is tomorrow.
Guess what....she just killed her campaign!!
We can understand that no action coming out of desperation brings good result. It is quite understable that Hillary is in a desperate state, after loosing eleven primaries, however, if she indeed found her true voice, we can judge for ourselves that it is umpleasant, maybe that's why she never displayed it publicly. Sarcasm is a double-edge sword, she may believe that she's getting even with her opponent, but is a bad taste mockery that only few can get away with, unfortunately, she is not one of them.
She is desperate.
Obama has said repeatedly. "I know how hard this will be." "This will not be easy." "We've got a real fight ahead" etc etc etc.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH INSPIRATION HILLARY?
He is inspiring people to WORK FOR HIM. That is how he's winning.
When is the last time you were inspired by a sarcastic grouch, a sore loser? It won't work.
I guess Clinton wasn't there in Texas when Obama fed 5000
She has become a disgrace over this campaign season. We might as well have Mike Gravel participate in tomorrow's debate. He's sounding more sane and viable than Clinton.
That's just what this country needs, Hillary, is more negativism and sarcasm. Yes, let's crucify Senator Obama for his positive, can-do attitude – that will get you the votes of America's nay-sayers. However, I believe that Barack Obama can lead our country out of its terrible slump. He is smart (at least as bright as Hillary, and Hillary is very bright), hard-working, at least as ethical as any politician I have come across, and has a real gift for oratory. Hillary, I do give you some credit for helping Senator Obama hone his debating skills which will serve him well in the coming debates with Senator McCain.
Gobama!
Every time I start to feel a little empathy for Hillary Clinton, she sinks a little lower. This type of mockery is outright insulting, belittling, and disingeneous. At first I understood how people would doubt the substance behind Obama's words, but at some point, people have to let go of the Clinton hype and listen (and read, and think) for themselves. Obama has described very clearly the difficulties of getting where it is that he wants to go. He explained very clearly that it was not nearly just MLK's words, but the actions behind the words (that included, sometimes, being killed), that led to change. How many times does Obama have to say that it is not blind optimism, but work, along with unity and hope, for people to hear?
I am beginning to think that it is the Clinton followers that are being duped. As Hillary said, actions speak louder than words... am I really to believe how honored she is about running with Obama? Do I believe a great moment on stage at a Democratic debate, or her performance here?
This is why I prefer Clinton. Call a spade a spade. Obama supporters are just simply delusional. They think he is the answer to all their problems. Ha! Just wait till he wins because then reality will set in, he will have to work with the lobbyists, he won't make special interests groups disappear, he'll have to work within the political machine, and at the end of the day, he's just another slick politican.
Go Hillary '08!
“This little state has a big voice on March 4 to help choose the next president,” she added.
Really, Hillary? You don't seem to think the voice of every "little" state that has voted for Barack Obama thus far has been raised loud enough to determine the next Democratic Nominee, despite his clear victories. They were "just caucuses" or "not representative of the Democratic Party." Yet suddenly Rhode Island is different? Your blatant desperation at this point in the race grows more baffling by the second. Voters, beware. She will only count your vote if she comes out victorious on the 4th in Rhode Island. Is that the type of duplicitous, fickle and powermonger of a candidate you want on the ballot in November?
She has lost it! And has lost my vote! What is she doing???
enough already sheesh!
FUNNY. HA HA
I'm sorry she feels the need to ridicule Obama and his supporters like this. I finally found a reason to be proud of U.S. politics again and I find it sad that some people are willing to inject this type of cynisism into the White House another four years. Shame on you Clinton!
Obama 08!
Once again – Thank you Hillary for reminding me why I am NOT voting for you!!!
THIS IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL!!!!!!
I know for certain now that I WOULD NEVER vote for HILLARY!
Thanks Hillary – you have just alienated the voters going to Obama right now. If you were counting on them for the general election, you can forget it.
Hillary, you are making people laughing at you and not with you. Will you please do the Party a favour by just leaving.
To me, all women are beautiful flowers. Sarcasm doesn't work for me coming from a woman.
What does Clinton know about the light?
Obama \ Warren Steed Jeffs '08 is the dream ticket
well, that is what obama thinks he can do. he thinks he is untouchable.. well america WAKE UP!!!!!why didn't he wait a few years. get some experience???someone without the blown out ego that obama has would have done that. the younger followers are behind him because they don't remember the good clinton years.
Yeah...and when Hillary waves her magic wand, the special interests just keep growing and growing.
Yep, she hit the nail on the head citing that if she's in charge there won't be any unity. Of course she doesn't see it happening or believe it's possible since she lacks the ability to escape the US VS. THEM mentality that has pervaded so long in Washington.
Her paradigm doesn't contain doing anything together, simply ME, ME, ME. I want a president capable of thinking outside the box. Her whole campaign has been on the premise that she can fight the Republicans. Last time I checked, Republicans are Americans too!
Without the Republicans, things won't get done, something her vast experience should be telling her. What about the 1964 Civil Rights Act, who stepped up to the plate and made it possible? Repubs.
'Nuff said.
Has anybody been listening? Obama has been mocking Hillary for some time along with showing his arrogant side. Watch the debates when he has his nose up in the air while Hillary is talking. Kind of a I am better than all of you look.
The last marble has finally rolled out of Hillary's head.
I think Hilary is envy of Obama's style, charisma and positive campaign. She should take notice and attempt to incorporate his appeal in her compaign. We are tired of the negative appeal Hiliary's campaign has displayed thus far in reference to Obama and would like an immediate change on her behalf. Vote for Obama! He's the better candidate in this race. His thoughts and advocation for positive change in America is what the American people seeks. Go Obama!
While I like Obama and his message, I believe Hillary is right to question whether or not he has the stamina against entrenched and recalcitrant Washington bureaucracy.
Hillary tries again to resurrect the politics of yesterday – cynicism, sarcasm, division, etc. The statement "Maybe I’ve just lived a little long..." is the truest thing she has said.
Hillary, the world has moved forward. Make room for the next generation.
B Platen
a Democrat in Germany
I think that I do hear celestial choirs when I see an Obama rally.
Funny stuff.
I absolutely do not like "cult of personality" politics. Maybe if I were 20 years old I would have bought into it...hmm....nope, not even when I was 20.
Ok....I have been trying to find the excitement to support Hillary if she gets the nomination, but this is getting sad. Obama has made no illusions about uniting the country. He has siad ti will be hard. However, all Hillary has done is divide the republicans and democrats for as long as I can remember being involved in politics. Now she is doing it to her own party. WE ARE ALL DEMOCRATS! Please remember that Mrs. Clinton or you will never be President Clinton II or VP Clinton either. These sarcastic remarks are only proving the people that commended you on your "brilliant acting", during the final moments of the debate, right. Where is that " I care about the country and party" attitude now?I guess we will only get ugliness...
Obama's belief that effecting change is as simple as just talking about it really is naive. Hillary found out how hard it was to accomplish when the insurance companies ganged up on her in her fight to implement universal health care in 1992. If you want change without the experience to accomplish it, vote for Obama. If you want change with the know-how in order to do it, vote for Hillary.
Nice Hillary, very grown up. I see Clinton supporters bash Obama over the perceived snubs he gave her. They question if that is how Obama is going to treat foreign dignataries that he doesn't agree with. Fact is, he said he would negotiate with our enemies, quoting JFK. Now, we get Hillary mocking Obama. So, I ask you, Clinton supporters, is that how she is going to handle foreign dignataries and members of the Republican party that she disagrees with? Is she going to mock them to the general public? If she is so angry about "distorting the facts" then she would be wise to remember that Obama has said numerous times that he knows his plans will not be easy to realize, that it will take hard work. He isn't just about giving speeches, no matter how much Clinton wants to try and make you believe it.
She looks ridiculous, and appears to be mocking the heavens -not just Obama. So un-presidential, and un-Christian.
Can we please stick to the issues, and not the swiftboat? Obama's plans have become more specific (see his blueprint at barackobama.com); she is the one whose rhetoric is now glaring.
Oh the sky will open all right and tell her "It is finished" That will be the end of the Clinton era.
We know from the past her way doesn't work. She needs to stop beating the drum of her so called experience. Its true that many voters don't examine the facts. But enough of us do to know that she has failed as a leader many times. Just stop attacking Obama & start talking sense.
Clearly this is the best campaign strategy Hillary and her advisers could come up with – mock, belittle the message of hope and unity.
Is that truly the best message Hillary is to put forward at this time?
The Clinton Campaign has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at the Obama Campaign's string of 11 primary and caucus victories. Nothing has worked. So Hillary has concluded running an even more disgusting campaign is the solution??
It's official, the woman has lost it...My, my, my how things quickly change in the Clinton camp. On Thursday night, all the political pundits were drawn into Hillary's "great" debate-ending monologue in which is said she was "honored, simply honored" to sharing the stage with Obama. Then by Saturday, Hillary was "yelling" at Obama in a press conference. Then on Sunday, Hillary is seen "mocking" Obama at her rally.
Hillary is the "say-anything and do-anything to win" candidate.
Obama in 08!
Unbelievable... she has stooped to a level that is extremely unbecoming of a presidential candidate. Not only is she mocking Obama but all those individuals that voted for him and believe in hope and change. She disgusts me to no end.
Talk about getting desperate.
GO HILLARY!
Obama is a fraud who is pushing a similar agenda that Bush had in 2000. We can only wonder what he and his staff have planned if they get in.
I hope it is not just me. But, I consider myself to be a Christian, and I was offended by Hillary's analogy of Obama's campaign to heaven. Her mockery of heaven with the skies opening up, the light shinning down, celestial choirs, and everything being perfect is just disgusting. She always talks about her faith sustaining her. Now she is even mocking that.
I'm sick of both Clintons. America would be much better off if they both leave politics forever.
Umm Hillary? Waving a magic wand isn't going to get you the nomination either. Look at the numbers and face the facts. You squandered too much money and valuable time attacking your competition instead of dealing with the issues. It's over love. See you in 2012. Btw, No offense Chelse, I think you're great.
It is obvious that even Hillary's acting has its limitations; better to stick to crying opportunities. Look to Liberia and Germany for women president role models. There is a difference between being flexible and changing one's opinion everytime a new consultant whispers in one's ear.
Hillary, feeling a little desparate ?? If this doesn't show what Clinton is really about, I don't know what will. She is playing right in to what Obama said about her talking about his supporters being delusional. She is not only mocking him but anyone who believes in hope and change for this country. I guess her life experience has made her a little too bitter and jaded to invision a better country and world. How sad for her!!! Of course it won't be a walk in the park, but it has to start somewhere. Obama is giving inspiration to the American people who desparately need it right now. Every movement starts this way. Unfortunately for her, she is not part of it and she can't accept it!!
You're looking quite presidential, Sen Clinton.
one word: desperation.
HILLARY ... I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAVE SUCH AN AWSOME SENSE OF HUMOR ! MAN... that was funny
keep that up kiddo and you just might take OBAMA.
COULD YOU BE FUNNY AND TELL US HOW HE PLANS TO EXPAND THE MILITARY ?
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD MAKE ...." BRING BACK THE DRAFT".... SOUND FUNNY , DO YOU ????
The new turn in Clinton's attitude is very distasteful. To mock a candidate for his optimism, only shows how pessimisitc her views of policies and the American voter are. No one is denying that change won't come easy, but to have people exited about the new direction makes the task of bringing change a litte easier. But i guess the old saying still holds true, that the true colors show in times of despair.
I'm sure her sarcastic tirade just cost her more votes. It looks to me like it's all over but the crying for Clinton
Hillary is sooooooo mean.
Poor Hillary, she is a bitter, mean spirited person. She either needs medication or psychological help
When did Barack ever say or even imply that it was going to be easy? In fact, he's said numerous times how difficult it's going to be. Yeah, losing REALLY brings out her ugly side. I can't wait until after March 4th when she's finally dealt the final blow.
Look at her.. She is pulling all stops.. and look how negative and sarcastic she is..
But her fans will conclude that..
CNN is biased..
The last 10 states that gave victory to Obama is biased..
FOX news is biased ... so is MSNBC..
All newspapers that endorse Obama is biased...
The unions that back him are biased...
The whole country is biased against her...
Baby boomers: quit raining on our parade because your revolution failed.
We are more articulate and more pragmatic than you were and that is why we will succeed.
Is this the childlike behavior we want in the leader of our country?? Grow up Hilary and just run your campaign.
It'd be nice if CNN kept the delegate count current. You're still showing Obama 1,158 elected and 161 super; Clinton 1,016 elected and 234 super.
Other web sites are showing Obama elected 1,199 and Clinton 1,040.
Not sure about the super delegates because it changes each day, but I think it's Clinton 232 and Obama 183 from information I've seen on other web sites..
Please bring your site up to date, I'd like to count on CNN instead of MSNBC. In such a tight race, CNN eed to keep this count current.
What happened to the Hillary after the last debate? Her new sarcasm will not help at all. It makes Hillary appear desperate. I want a dignified candidate. Not a shrill divisive one.
very good , it was the most realistic thing i have seen from hillary, she seemed to be using "her own voice" . what a surprise it must be to her to be playing against a man who will be more able to nulify the vote than her husband. what goes around comes around. instead of a coranotion, we might have an obomanation.
Hillary, I've lived long enough to know you should just give it up already
So the childish tones she is taking is supposed to make us think that she is more qualified for the Presidency? Wow Hillary, there is no low that is too low for you to go, is there?
Watch out little state with a big voice. Senator Clinton has a way of calling on states to vote for her when needed, but if you don't vote the right way, she will call you inconsequential. You might even make the mistake of being delusional!
All I can say is "Poor Obama" I am afraid that he is slipping in the polls. I do believe his days are numbered with OH, TX and PA all in support of Sen. Clinton! Oh wait, I forgot....."JUST WORDS".
Yet, her supporters will post here and blame Obama for this too.
Hillary is just saying what the silent majority are thinking, this guy is a joke.
Hillary... you are dividing the party. Drop out and help us win in nov
I really think TX and Ohio are non-significant state and should go for Obama.
Wow. Just wow. Time after time, Hillary demonstrates that politics as usual is her calling card, now even mocking most of America who is supporting Obama. When will she just go away? No one wants you. How many contests have you won so far – like 10 out of 40? Just ridiculous on so many levels. I can't wait until March 5th when this lady will just be gone – hopefully forever from public display.
denial – We're not out yet, really!
anger – Shame on you, Obama!
bargaining – Come on people, you don't really believe his words mean anything, do you?
look for depression and acceptance to soon follow.
Clinton's mockings are exactly how I hear Obama.
Clinton '08
Go away Hillary. You're a fool, looking more and more like a desparate fool.
This is getting sad. I hope the democrats gets united and backs the candidate who gets the nomination.
Again Clinton simply mocks change rather than offering anything more than the status quo. And with the war on terror likely to be her running theme in 2012, for eight looong years.
And to think I was just beginning to really look at Hillary but now after the way she's been acting lately, I guess my only options will be to vote for Obama or McCain. She's lost it and I think it is time for her to get out! If it were anyone else still in the race, the media would be all over them depicting them in some ugly ways. Hillary, either win fair and square or take your school yard bully ways somewhere else. You're turning me off from this race.
Thank you ,hateful Obama supporters ,the reason why we Hillary supporters will vote across party lines and show national unity in November.
She's a joke.
Frank Rich was right in his NYT column yesterday: the audacity of hopelessness, indeed.
She's plagiarizing. People have been mocking him for weeks.
I think she might be manic-depressive.
Her personality changes within seconds.
From crying to criticism in New Hampshire.
From congenial to furious in debates.
I'm so glad that woman will not be the nominee.
Right on Hillary more of the same
Someday the Amercian people will see thro the Obama empty speeches.
So my understanding is Hillary is 100% against Hope and Change! Obama is not the one who will be changing America, We the citizens will! We only need a president who believes in us. Stand Up for Change fellow Americans – Yes We Can!
this is Hillary's "Dean Scream" moment and, therefore, the end of her campaign.
Senator Clinton doesn't only mock Senator Obama, she mocks every single one of us who vote for him, who honestly do hear his message, know his policies, have educated ourselves on who he is Apparently to Hillary, 65% of the Democratic voters are nothing but a joke. Each time I hear her speak, watch bits of her sparkling personality emerge, I realize how relieved I am that we are blessed enough to have Barack Obama to give our support to. Obama has energized this country- he does give hope- and wow that hope has inspired a majority of us to Act, to participate.. and gee that unity thing Hillary finds so funny- it seems to be working..!
Ha Ha. This lady is finished. I don't even think anyone is paying attention to her anymore.
Can you imagine the insult the other States must feel about being called, and or implied, by HRC inconsequential? The little States don't matter only Texas and Ohio. How can anyone not see? This is the real Hillary and Bill Clinton at work. The mask has come off. She would rather destroy the party than lose. Do you know why? She's in deep financial trouble and owes her special parties/friends monies. If she wins the presidency she can also cut deals but if she loses it what is she going to do? She can't manage her campaign costs but she's going to manage a trillion dollar deficit and she owes people for their donations. She can't afford to lose. She needs this. It's all about Hillary.
Obama inserts earmarks. Obama gets money from lobbyists. Obama works for special interest groups. Obama attacks other politicians. Obama flips on the campaign finance issue...
Where is "change we can believe in?"
A sarcastic person has a superiority complex that can be cured only by the honesty of humility...
It is obvious that Hillary Clinton past decisons is coming back to hant her. The vote for the Iraq war and supporting her husband with NAFTA which is now costing America lives, money and jobs espcailly in Ohio and Texas.
I thought little states did not matter. During the debate you were fine, what happend? You are scary.
Wow,
Is that all she has? To tell people if you hope to make the world a better place than you're basically dreaming. Why would she want to be president of a country that in her own words is permanently broken? What if those who fought in the Revolutionary had no hope that they would be successful? Would they have won their independence. What if the US had not perservered through WWII would we be free now? What if MLK had said in his speech during the march on Washington, D.C. that I know there is no hope of change in this country so I don't have a dream. Where would we all be now? Hillary get a message, telling people not to hope for something better is stupid and un-American!
GO AWAY HILLARY! YOU ARE SUCK AND YOU GET ON MY NERVES WITH YOUR DOUBLE CHEEKS
Oh my gosh, I can't believe how badly her true colors are showing. She has the nerves to mock Barack Obama, while he has united voters across the country.
Her somtime-ish actions are the exact reason why I'm not voting for her. Just last week she had negative ads in Wisconsin and before Super Tuesday she had negative fliers as well. She also said she was so honored to debate with Barack Obama now she's spitting venom at him...shame on you Hillary!
Despite the fact that Obama has a good chance of being the Democratic nominee, Clinton appears to be upping the personal attacks. It's ironic that she acts so immature in a statement where she emphasizes the wisdom of age. Does she care one bit whether she hurts Democratic chances in November?
Wow she loves that yellow blazer!
I'm officially now voting for Obama on April 22nd. Thanks Hillary for ending my indecision all on your own.
Hillary is VERY IIMMATURE, has temper tantrums all the time, she also is a bully and a sore loser, that's why she is LOSING..
Obama all the way, Hillary your days of being elected and nominated to the highest office in our land is going down the tubes, through no fault of anyone elses but your own!
Obama all the way!
Senator Clinton, you disgust me. First of all, if you ever bothered to actually listen to Senator Obama's speeches, you'll notice how much he emphasizes how difficult the road ahead will be. But all you care about it lying to grab votes, and not just lying but demeaning the people's desire for real change in America. You deceived America about your support of NAFTA, you deceived America about Obama's message of hope and change, and now you're using out-of-context pictures of Obama in foreign traditional dress to deceive America again.
Poor Hillary, no matter what she says or does, she will get criticized. Most of it unfairly. Obama can do no wrong, he is the golden-haired boy of the media. Such a bias against Senator Clinton. Sigh.
Let's see if cnn prints my post here, all the others I wrote had been deleted. Cnn is losing credibilty. The best name in news, they say of themselves. Ha.
Hillary 08 - you can do it doll. You are the best.
I don't think "sarcastic" will endear her to the voters in a way that she wasn't by the previous 23 personalities she's tried.
You know, whenever people called her "Shrillery" or complained about her grating voice, I just dismissed it as latent sexism. But I swear, the way she sounded in that mocking rant really just set my teeth on edge, despite my best efforts.
That was not good. I feel bad for her actually.
Yeeesh. Hillary please try to take the high road... or at least a higher road. Thanks.
As if Barack needed to convince the American people that Hillary would be "more of the same..."
She just took care of that issue all by herself.
I hope the good people of Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania put an end of the Clinton nonsense and her candidacy.
If Clinton gets the nomination there is no way I will ever vote for such an unstable person to lead the country. She speaks of bringing solutions, but this is only pouring oil on the fire. Clinton and McCain both represent the status quo, which is why the large group of Washington elite, media and multinationals are afraid... their party needs to end.
Obama!
I never thought I'd say this, but Clinton Is Right! A quiver just went up my spine as I typed this... but it's true.
She is acting like a spoiled brat. This kind of behavior is not what
a future President should be protraying. Shame on her,
I would never vote for her after this and I am a woman who serves
in public service.
does anyone else think its funny that all of a sudden, the "little" states count....when Obama was winning them, it did not matter.
No matter what, I wish BOTH candidates the best, and I wish the democratic party the best
with that said, GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!
It seems like this man can do no wrong and she can do no right. Soata reminds me of jonestown, they will follow him anywhere
In stead of mocking Obama. Maybe she should plagiarize some of his speeches and ideas. Only then will she fare better on election day. How can you mock someone who beats you by an average of 33% points on election day. Hillary the jokes is on you babe.
This is just as much of an attack on the people supporting Obama as much as one on Obama himself.
What a way to shoot yourself in the foot and divide the democrats than by calling half of them idealistic fools. It's not like Obama hasn't said time and time again in his speeches how much work it'll take.
She's going negative in order to stop his momentum, and we've seen it not work before, and it looks like it'll happen again.
Will this be her Howard Dean moment?
This is obviously all Obama's fault. He's making Hillary crazy with his message of unity and change, and *forcing* her to resort to sarcasm and mockery. You can't hold Hillary accountable for the things that she does on the campaign trail. That would be un-American.
Her tirade is over now and we should all forget about it and move on! Nothing to see here.
HIllary is correct. It's too bad the rest of you have been completed fooled by a motivational speaker. If Obama gets into office it will be a disaster, and the Republicans will regain control for another decade. This Hillary supporter will NEVER cast a vote for Obama in November.
Hillary is for specifics, not empty slogans
I'm hoping someone asks the question at the next debate about Hillary using lines from her husbands speech, John Edwards speech and of all places from a Saturday Night Live sketch!! If she's going call Obama out on using lines from speeches, at least have enough sense to not do it yourself!!!
This is childish. How can she unite the party after having basically called all of Obama's supporters delusional? Outbursts like this can only hurt her more. She's like a child....
Hillary seems to suffer from multiple personality disorder. One day she pretends to be empathic and honored. The next day, she is nasty lier. In the process, she managed to insult the majority of the voters. She is continously undermining any chance the democrates have to reclaim the white house.
So Obama can be sarcastic but Hillary can't? Grow up people...
This is an unfortunate turn of events. Sen. Clinton... I blocked walked for you, made calls on your behalf, and stumped privately for you in my inner circle. This is a disgrace! Now I suppose I am seeing the "light" on what kind of leader you would truly be. I am highly disappointed and you no longer have my vote.
If Hillary had been president in 1960:
"I hear a lot of nonsense, crazy talk about mounting a manned mission to the moon. Let's get real. The moon is too far away. The technological challenges are insurmountable. The costs are too high. There is simply no way we can seriously consider manned space flight to the moon."
She is actually telling the truth. Take a minute and reflect on it. Obama cannot do anything..he hasn't thought about anything..he is all words...useless pointless words.
HRC 2008
She's speaking the truth. The truth hurts for those living in the clouds.
I would be so proud to elect a woman president, but this is not the woman for the job. This isn't the playground in grade school! Desperation abounds in Hillary's camp, why else resort to "mocking" Obama?
Indeed it is "silly season" within Hillary's campaign. No one likes you Hillary, drop out now while some people still hold a margin of respect for you!
To Obama's supporters, just so you know he has been very disrespectful and condencending as well so don't like he is a saint.
Hillary's comments are excatly my thoughts..
How will he deliver on the big promises with no rec ords. IWhat is the change that he has been calling for? It is easy to preach but do we want a preacher as a president? Don't we have enough preachers in our churches who make money and sit on golden toilets while the people suffer.
And lately Obama has been using the same old tricks of politics that all other politicians use. So how do you believe him when he says that he is above washington politics.
Remember a bufoon like Bush also got a second term. If we are not careful we may land in the same situation.
PS: CNN: please remove your Obama hat and out on the fair media hat and print my comments.
I started this campaign last year defending Hillary to all of my friends who didn't like her. The past few months, Hillary has shown us "bits and pieces" of her character. I'm convinced that she is calculated and motivated only by personal ambition. Hillary has lost all of my trust and support with how she has campaigned in this primary. As she tries to paint Mr. Obama as inexperienced and lacking concrete plans, she exposes her own lack of willingness to listen to a huge part of the Democratic base. It seems like she has lost her ideals. Where is the woman who worked on children's issues? From her press "attack" of Mr. Obama over the weekend, all I see is Cruella-deville. If she's upset with a foreign leader (as President) will she hold a press conference and scream at them too? (It wasn't a very statesman-like moment for her...none too professional.) Hillary Clinton has shown herself to be back-stabbing, malicious, and under-handed. I will not vote for her. I wonder how many others feel the way I do?
She said exactly what I think. You go girl! He is a joke and will never vote for him.
I noticed that Senator Obama is freely allowed to mock and criticize Senator Clinton and other political leaders that he doesn't like or agree with. However, when Senator Obama is mocked and criticized, Senator Clinton is characterized as petty, shrill, unreasonable, and desperate. Senator Obama's supporters and the media seem to overlook and condone his behavior and actions and harshly criticize and rebuke Senator Clinton for the sarcasm and critical comments that Obama gives during every political speech.
This is the way Hilary shoul have gone a long time ago; the guy is all words and NO SUDSTANCE. If only people would see through him. Like I keep saying; the Republicans would eat Obama alive.
