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.

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.

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?

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 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?

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."

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

By: Alex - Austin

Alex - Austin — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 16:36:33 +0000

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?

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.

No matter what, I wish BOTH candidates the best, and I wish the democratic party the best

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Obama all the way!

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?

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!

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!

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.

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..!
