Clinton On The Attack »

Posted by: not2needy 1 year, 9 months ago

"He promised change as a compassionate conservative," she said referring to Bush, "and the American people got shafted." The line, delivered with a passion not always seen from the New York senator, brought the hundreds at Cincinnati State College to their feet. "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on

    FTA:

    The Obama campaign responded by sending along a quote from Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson: "If you want to talk about tactical political maneuvering, it's about one Democrat comparing another Democrat to George Bush. That's the worst kind of tactical political maneuvering."

    After the talk, she continued to take the fight to Obama while talking to reporters, displaying two of Obama's direct mail attack pieces, which she called "blatantly false" and claimed that his rhetoric doesn't match reality.

    It's getting down and dirty now.

    I hope Obama can hold his own with her, she's a shrewd old bird.

        At the Texas Trans Corridor superhighway/NAFTA, I discovered that the beginning of this TTC plan, was started under President Clinton's watch in 1991. Mexico wants the 10k acres in KC, Mo., being used for Mexico's Customs Office, to be turned over to them as Mexican Territory. I am still fuming over the meeting!

        NAFTA is only a success for the countries and our big businesses, not for the American People. I really wish that all candidates could answer the question about this Superhighway!

        Thanks not2needy!

                Good story, n2n!

                This ally cat can fight and scratch!

                Whatever little respect I had for her just evaporated by seeing the way she was spewing venom today and showing her fangs and nails!

                Little wonder that half of the country would NEVER vote for her, no matter what!

                I can't wait for Tuesday's debate. I know Obama will put her in her place. I am just curious about the way he is going to do it! There will be lot of ammunition, and the powder would be dry.

                Let's not forget that Bill Clinton's biggest mistake was the creation of NAFTA which opened the gate for shipping our jobs and our wealth abroad.

                She is asking for this, and she will be getting it by the truck load!

                    I agree reforming is another way of saying we support. I dont think Obama was wrong for pointing out these important points. This is not smearing it is telling the facts. She wants mandates on health care he does not. Hillarys health care plan is HER way or NO way. She wants to say she has experience as first lady but only wants to take credit for what ever was success and distance herself from the failures. I hope she is out of our lives soon. TEXAS; OHIO; be national Heros and give the Clintons the final blow that we can be free from them and move on.

                      These two dynasties need to end; our country has seen enough of the Bushes and Clintons in the White House. 16 years is enough already!

                      It appears to me that Hillary needs some decent sex from her her hubby without the cigars; maybe then she would become a little more civilized.

                        The trashiest comments in this thread come from those who pretend to live on "the high road."

                        But I'm not surprised. The pretense to virtue has long been obvious.

                            All I can say is you go girl. Hillary is my choice and I hope others can see how good she would be for our country. I don't trust Obama. He hasn't been around long enough and I don't like the way he seems so smug and sure of himself. Just a bit to much for me.

                              RR,

                              In your make-believe world, you can anoint her queen if you wish, but I am seeing the handwriting on the wall, and it does not look good for Hillary!

                              Come to think of it, McCain also seems headed to the heap of obsolescence because of his sneaky deals with lobbyists!

                              When one is flying in a private jet of a contributor in the company of an attractive and young lobbyist, the possibilities are endless! Sky is the limit of your imagination!

                              I think our country deserves better days and our people the promise of prosperity that has been stolen by these shysters and crooks in Washington, DC!

                              Time to open a new chapter in this sordid tale.

                              It will be fun to watch rats jumping the sinking ship of Hillary's failing campaign!

                                I have been thinking for a while about Hillary's claim that she has more experience in running this country, and that she will be ready to take charge on day one.

                                It is a very strange claim. First of all, she was not elected to the office of President or Vice President. So I cannot imagine her sitting in the Oval Office and making critical decisions. I cannot even picture in the Situation Room with the Generals and Admirals , making critical decisions on troop deployment, or diffusing a serious situation somewhere in the world.

                                As far as I can recollect her informal title as First Lady and another informal title of "Secretary of Nothing".

                                The only "experience" that seems to come to mind is her lecture in China on Women's Rights and her junket in Africa on Air Force 3 or whatever, with daughter Chelsey.

                                  If she was doing any official business for our country, it was highly irregular and perhaps illegal, because she had no official authority to do anything in the Executive Branch.

                                  It is like, if Andrea Mitchell claims to have experience in managing the policies of the Federal Reserve, because she is the wife of ex-Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan! Thank God Andrea is a lot smarter than that!

                                  Now, in the Senate, I have not seen any earth-shattering performance by her that would earn accolades, either.

                                  The only thing that she stands out for is for something really terrible - her giving authority to Dumbya to declare war in Iraq. She was a practicing Lawyer, and she ought to know our Constitution - you know, the document that defines our country for what it is, and defines the management of our country by the three branches of the Government.

                                    ok, Obama says he wants to change the "mindset" of the mid east. Just "how" are you going to do this. Yeah right! It has been tried for 400 yrs, and he is the one to do it in 4 yrs. Yeah right!

                                        Analysts will be studying this primary for years trying to understand how she blew it so completely.

                                        Maureen Dowd has an excellent editorial today about how Hillory so misjudged the situation, blew the money she had available and allowed a lightweight to overwhelm her effort.

                                          I agree with AlaKai ... If Obama wins the election, he will receive a full frontal collision of the realities of the world against his agenda of hope and change.

                                          This country is a mighty big ship that doesn't change course easily. He will find that the bureaucracies are so ingrained, they create major barriers to change, Congress has it's own agenda that he will find tedious at best and business interest still control the purse strings.

                                          Globalization is the game now and will remain so. He must learn to work with it because you cannot control it. If he does otherwise, it will eat him alive.

                                          He will be a major disappointment for those who expect major change.
