Comments on: Clinton campaign gets Weather Underground questions http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/17/clinton-campaign-gets-weather-underground-questions/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Nate http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/17/clinton-campaign-gets-weather-underground-questions/#comment-905900 Nate Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:16:07 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=6509#comment-905900 This is an example of why you have to be very careful attacking others- especially when you have lots of baggage. The problem with Hillary's campaign is that this tactic isn't really working for her. The only time it did was before the Ohio Primary when her campaign distorted that story on NAFTA. That was less than honest. Obama seemed prepared for the Ayers question and Hillary kinda walked into a trap- He knew she'd attack him on that while she didn't know he'd come back. This has been a recurring theme in her campaign- they can attack but are unable to take a punch. The Clintons had a significant advantage in the campaign with name recognition- they squandered it and have been out maneuvered for the most part by Obama's campaign. This shouldn't have happened and you have to blame Clinton (which ever one you want)- and credit Obama's side for being where they are. I like Hillary but I'm supporting Obama because I think he is the person you can trust the most and that is something we haven't had in the White House for a considerable time. We are starting to see that this race is hurting the party. It's like getting in the ring with one fighter while another fighter watches. When you're done fighting the first guy (or gal) the next fighter steps in after watching your technique strengths and weaknesses. This isn't favorable for the person who fights twice. What the democratic fighters need to do is attack McCain together- stop attacking each other. He can't fight two at once.

Hillary clearly understands policies - great. But her choices, her connections, her decisions...we need that too. Obama needs to fine tune his a little, and frankly I anticipate that he will surround himself with a great supporting cast - unlike Dubya. I want a president who is well rounded, and Hillary is not that. The reality is, how effective has any president been in the last 30 years? How many campaign promises never come to fruition - on both sides? Are we really electing Obama or Clinton for their health care plans - which will probably never ever happen? No, we arent - we are electing a president who wont bomb the heck out of a country - just becuase. We are electing a president who wont jump without reviewing the actual circumstances...we are electing a president who wont walk into the world acting as if everything is owed to america. Gosh, on top of all that - clintons shady dealings are scary - and the fact that Barack hasnt really talked about this should not lead any of you to believe that the republicans arent going to. We havent even seen the tip of the iceberg with the shadiness in her past. If clinton is handed the nomination, i expect another 4 years of republican rule - but at least it will be funny as heck to watch her being revealed for the schmuck that she is. Obama, he has met people who turned out to be shady - but he hasnt done anything shady with him. You want a distinction between he and Clinton, there you have it.

Isn't it Hillary that is using those 8 years as part of her "35" years of experience? As far as the media goes, I don't think they have even come close to really examine HER credentials. Has anyone (MSM) really, and I mean REALLY, spoken about her claims of her participation in the Northern Ireland peace agreement? NAFTA? Or how about the promise of creating jobs in NY state when running for Senator in 2000? Oh, I forgot. That was Al Gore's fault because he didn't win the Presidency.

Barack did a good job of parrying the Willaim Ayres question. "I was 8 years old" exposes just how inane the question really is. On the other hand we have Hillary sounding like somewhere deep down she is coming to a slow realization that just isn't going to go her way. Hope she doesn't firebomb the place on the way out the door. ;) Shameful performance by George S. Barack did a good job of parrying the Willaim Ayres question.

Charles Gibson and George Stephonopolous just perpetuated stories that mean nothing in terms of the issues that this country faces. The only positive I see is that the more that comes out before the general election on either Dem candidate takes away the thunder the GOP may have generated by bringing it up this fall.

I served in Vietnam and as anyone that has been in combat knows. You cannot win a war unless you have the troops to clear every town of wepons and keep troops in the town to build trust with the people. Second, I cannot belive we are still wanting to put people in space. Why are we not taking that money and knowledge and using it to build cars that do not depend on oil. Look at what our grandparents did for our country during World War Two. Third, I believe anyone that runs for President of the United States should only be able to receive funds approved by the people of the United States.
