"Hypocritical" is the best word to describe Obama and his campaign, we cannot find a word better than that. Obama claimed him honest while he's not, Obama claimed he ran a positive campaign while he didn't, Obama lied about his record and exagerated his accomplishment but he turned around to attacked Hillary......too many too many.  In one word, Obama is not as honest as many people thought. Dont' be fooled by this smart man. Yes, he's smart, thought he's dishonest and he's tricky.

I could never be a politician.  The Hillary Clintons of the world would make me crazy.  She conducts a totally negative kitchen sink campaign.  She makes fun of Obama because he did not strike back in like fashion during the debate. "If you can't stand the heat"...."no wimps in the White House", and now says he a hypocrite because he is responding to her extremely negative ads in these last days before the PA primary.
This primary season cannot end too soon.

Hey Chuch, Why don't you all over their at msnbc start reporting what is important to the American people. I guess you will let fox news beat you again. When are you all going to report about Larry Sinclair. All you folks need to go to you tube and put in Larry Sinclair. Obama is a crack smoking GAY. I know all the media knows about this, why are you all keeping it under rap. How much is the Obama team paying you. I have lost so much respect for are so called bias media. I think you all got your degree on the Obama circus train.

I am curious with the hug I see between Obama and John Kerry...is Obama thinking of having John Kerry as a Vice President? If so they are both a wannabe President. Interesting question. We know who Hillary would choose for VP, we have yet to know whom Obama and McCain would choose?

How can governor rendell ever say hypocritcal, he made racist statements.   I have a personal letter from him telling me the commnent were not meant for the public, then went on to say that we have come a long way by electing an afro american mayor in philly.  What colors were Mayor's Street and Goode.  Rendell is the most hypocritcal person and should not even open his moutn on TV.  I am sick of seeing his feet hanging out of hillary's butt!!!! Senator Clinton the liar started the negativity when her numbers lowered.  It took a long time before Obama even responded to her stupid comments.  She is a pitiful display of a sore looser.  

Senator Obama promised from the beginning to run a positive campaign.  He also promised to respond swiftly and strongly to any negative attack.

Sometimes it appears as though the campaign of Senator Clinton missed the second part of Senator Obama's promise.  But, I don't believe they truly missed it -- they are simply hoping that we (and the Press) did.  I didn't.  I am pleased that Senator Obama has demonstated his ability to quickly, accurately and forcefully respond to all negativity lobbed at his head, reputation and support.

I watched the show this morning and had to turn it off when BO's man said they are talking about what matters. From the start Obama has been playing dirty and I'm just plain sick of him. Clinton is the best choice and if she doesn't win the nominee then it'll be 4 more years of the GOP, too much baggage coming out about what kind of a man Obama is. Funny I saw it in him the first debate.

Can Obama catch a break from all of this?
First his words are just words, or he is called a whimp and now when he fights back against months and months of negative attacks from the Clinton campaign he is a hypocrite?
The Clinton family can suck the hope out of anyone.
I am confident that hope will be back in full force after Obama wins in PA.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Hillary.  Enough already.  It quit being laughable, it's now painful to watch.  

 The Clintons want it both ways. They want to be able to attack with impunity because they know Obama wants to try and win "the new way". They then call him a wimp when he doesn't hit back claiming the republicans won't stop just because he wants them too. So, to show them what the republicans might face as retaliation, he blasts the hell out of them and they then claim he's using old-style politics. He's being attacked from two sides and doing a very effective job at winning, all the while remaining presidential and showing a little deference about hitting a girl. Nice work Mr. Obama. And I say this as a 66-year-old grandmother.

There is no comparison between the two campaigns.  The Hillary campaign has rivaled the tactics of
Bush I's Lee Atwater and Bush II's Karl Rove in terms of slash and burn rumor and innuendo.  

From Bill Clinton's veiled racism in South Carolina to the surrogates referencing Obama's middle name, his early years in Indonesia, and teenage drug use (admitted years earlier in his book), the politics of personal destruction has been disgusting.  

Now associating Barack with the crazy remarks of Reverend Wright and the destructive actions of the radical nut William Ayers is beyond the pale.  How about misrepresenting Barack's remarks about bitter Americans?  Not only are Hillary and Bill (and John and Cindy McCain for that matter) far more elitist, but Barack's comments were a defense of working class Americans.  These people are alienated by a government that has neglected their economic concerns for the last 2 decades and now vote their concerns through issues like guns (a symbol of independence from a federal government that creates policy, limiting their opportunity) and religion (which comforts and uplifts people, especially during periods of economic despair).

The Clintons so need to negate the truth about their ugly campaign tactics, tactics that may have worked in the nineties but are now obsolete, that they accuse Obama of all those things which they are most guilty.  It provides for a smoke screen of confusion.  Somehow, I think, Americans will be able to see who the real hypocrites are.
Obama '08

The Clintons thought they could be negative and Obama wouldn't be able to defend himself because he wanted something higher.  One of the things Americans believe in is the right to defend oneself.  The Clinton camp slings it first and then yells unfair when they get some of their own back.  It's not hypocrisy, it's self defense.  You thought you could beat up a lamb with impunity Hill and you found out you had a tiger by the tail.  Quit being a whiner.

". . .(B)ut we really don't want to play by two sets of rules.  It's not fair. . ."...

And this is a quote from HRC's new chief strategist?!?.. Whoah!!!...  

Absolutely unbelieveable...

Obama '08

Yes Yes Yes Bravo KUDOS to you  Governor Rendell You Rock!!!! Shame on Bob Caissie  A Catholic   UMMMMMM!!!!!!!The Pope was here this week sure did not help him spiritually perhaps, he to is brainwashed by OBAMA.
Telling the truth is so important and Obama is getting away with many lies.  He is arrogant and condescending sending flip messages to Hillary does not make him win endorsements from voter's. He is much to underhanded by blaming others for his stupidity.  He will pay in the long term. What goes around comes around and the roosters will come home to roost. funny never see my posts  I wonder WhY!!!!!!!!!

The people see through this nonsense. The media can sit around and give this credence, but WE are smarter than the Clintons AND the media believe us to be.

Everyone knows that the Clintons are the negative voice in this campaign.

Sure, Obama has fired some shots, but those shots have been in response to the Clintons NONSTOP attacks. And if we REALLY want to talk of hypocrisy, then let's turn the Clinton's latest montra back on them- if you can't take the heat....

After all, wasn't it Hillary who first cried about media unfairness.

Seriously MSNBC...why do you not call her out on this stuff? I know you see it too.

But this post probably won't make it. Instead, you'll post another Pat from Huntington slam of Obama.

Again.
Mr Obama is no change candidate.
He is the same as all polititions. They all lie just to get elected.
I hate to burst the bubble of Obama nation.
If he gets elected he will get as much done as president as Hillary, or Mccain. The other side never works to closley with the other without getting what they want in return.

Does Hillary really think we can not smell desperation?? How do we capture scent?? When Sillary can not look into the cameras when she is attacking Obama.......at least you can tell when she is lying (I'm a MOM, I know these things, ask any mother is they can tell when their child is lying. MOST of us will tell you yes and describe both their physical and emotional reactions when there are called on the table)
Sillary shows us more of the same old politics of the past. Win at all costs!! I can understand believing in yourself, however it is quite another when she is telling over HALF OF THE VOTING DEMOCRATIC VOTING POPULATION that we are easily swayed and uneducated or just simply DON'T CARE. Sillary is the one out of touch. We are tired of fighting. Put your 10-pt plans away and let us have a Leader who will listen to all opinions and solutions before pigeon-holing yourself into a position which leaves no room for negotiation. Sillary does not understand the fine art of diplomacy or negotiation. Her moral values are in question to me. I am a 42 yr old Catholic White woman in Northeastern Ohio and supporting Sillary goes against my Catholic teachings....treat one another as you yourself would like to be treated. The last time I checked; I didn't approve of people lying and tearing another human being, yet a fellow American, down. Jumping on any scandal to cover up her own. Her husband is not the MAN I want my sons to aspire to be. Barack Obama on the other hand is.

WIN PA Barack    end the silly season already....we are ready to follow your lead.

Time to make another donation..

BELIEVE HOPE FUTURE NEW DIRECTION LIFT OUR IMAGE IN THE WORLD

Here's hoping all you wonderful folks up in Pennsylvania will put a few more nails in Hillary's political coffin and then ship/shift the election down here for all of us good democrats in North Carolina to finish her old style politics off once and for all.

Yes We Can will soon be Yes We Did!

With only minor policy differences between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the extended Democratic Primary race has devolved into nasty personal attacks, hurting our chances of winning in November.  The candidates' negatives are up. Polls show the Democrats' advantages are disappearing against John McCain's continuation of Bush-Cheney fear mongering and failed economic principles.  Petty arguments between the candidates are attempting to distract Pennsylvania voters from our real problems. Wednesday's debate in Philadelphia was a perfect example, with at least half the debate spent bickering over old news and verbal gaffes before debating anything Pennsylvanians actually care about.  John McCain was the debate's big winner.  We have a chance this Tuesday to stop John McCain's free ride to the White House.  We need to unite behind the frontrunner and refuse to allow this contest to go all the way to the convention.  We can send a strong message that we will not be distracted.  Not this time!  Vote for Barack Obama on April 22nd.

Larry Sinclair alleges that on 6th and 7th November 1999 in Chicago, Illinois he met Barack Obama for a social evening which included drinks in a lounge, followed by a drive around town in his hired limousine during which Obama supplied cocaine, smoked crack through his own glass pipe while accepting fellatio from Sinclair.

The next day Obama took the initiative to visit Sinclair’s Comfort Inn hotel room in Gurney, Illinois for a “quickie” version of the previous night’s activities. Both men were 38 years of age. Larry Sinclair was on parole visiting for a few days from Colorado. Barack Obama was a member of the Illinois Senate.

These scenes are reminiscent of the Oprah Winfrey’s show in which she featured J.L. King’s book “Men On the Down Low: A Journey into the Lives of Straight Black Men Who Sleep with Men”

The story has produced some newsworthy reactions most of which can be described as a cover-up:

1. A virtual internet and media lynch mob composed mainly of Obama supporters is bent on discrediting Sinclair with allegations about his homosexuality, his convictions for check fraud in the 1980’s and his mental and emotional stability. Part of their dirty tricks is to circulate to the media a forged facsimile of a page for the Washington Post which includes numerous lies about Sinclair and to declare that he was in a mental hospital at the time he said he was with Obama, and to attack his family and neighbors.

A noteworthy participant in the campaign of vilification is Andres W. Lopez an attorney for the Obama campaign in Puerto Rico who is a member of the campaign’s National Finance Committee. He appeared on Puerto Rico’s most popular TV magazine show WAPA TV’s “SuperXclusivo” on April 10th 2008 to denounce Sinclair as a major headache and distraction for the Obama campaign and implied that he was mentally ill and working for the Hilary Clinton campaign.

Sinclair has hit back against some of the critics with law suits for defamation in the DC district court filed by his attorney Montgomery Sibley most recently noteworthy for his defence of the “DC Madam”.

On 1st April, 2008 US District Court Judge Henry Kennedy granted a motion for discovery in the matter. The aim of the Sinclair-Sibley legal strategy is eventually to discover Barack Obama on oath.

2. Larry Sinclair took a polygraph test in February confident that he would pass and he challenged Obama to do the same. The test was arranged by Whitehouse.com an internet site best known for pornography and anti-Clinton political satire.

The raw computer readings showed that Larry Sinclair passed the test with flying colours. But two testers hired by Whitehouse.com re-interpreted the readings to claim that they showed deception. One of the testers was Edward I. Gelb who has been exposed by specialists in the field for claiming a phony Ph.D.

Whitehouse.com refused to publish the full results or the video of the test and in many other respects breached good faith undertakings they gave Sinclair to induce him to participate. He claims that he and his attorney are in possession of information that the Obama campaign bribed Whitehouse.com to distort the test and spin the presentation of the results.

Whitehouse.com has not denied these allegations but has abruptly gone silent on the matter.

3. Many in the mainstream media are aware of Larry Sinclair’s allegations about Barack Obama and rumours in Chicago restaurant and club land since at least 2001 that Barack Obama has been doing the Down Low with gay men. Some newspaper have interviewed Larry Sinclair and visited his home in Minnesota. He has provided them with his criminal record, his health and financial records and his family history.

At least one major Chicago newspaper has indicated that it will not proceed yet because it does not want to be accused of racism or of causing problems for the first viable black candidate. Other newspapers have asked for more proof such as access to the limousine driver who witnessed the events of November 6th, 1999.

Larry Sinclair has said the driver will testify in legal proceedings. But in the meantime he wants to protect him from interference from Obama campaign, from the kind of death threats to which Sinclair has been subjected and from the kind of harrssment that Obama supporters have visited on Sinclair’s elderly mother, his siblings and neighbors. However, Larry Sinclair is willing to provide assurances about his evidence to the media through his lawyer.

4. When Larry Sinclair first reported his allegations to the Obama campaign in September 2007 he wanted Obama to correct his claim that he had stopped taking drugs in his teens and had never taken crack. He believes crack is addictive and difficult to shake off.

Over the following months until December, 2007 he was contacted several times by Donald Young who appeared to be Obama’s emissary. He was the choir master at the Trinity Church of Christ which was under the direction of Pastor Jeremiah Wright and where Barack Obama is a member of the congregation. Donald Young informed Larry Sinclair that he, too, had a sex and drugs relationship with Barack Obama similar to his.

At first he suggested that Obama was seeking the assistance of Jeremiah Wright in making a statement acknowledging his use of crack cocaine as recently as 1999. But he had second thoughts in early December 2007. Donald Young was murdered in his appartment at Christmas 2007.

Larry Sinclair notified the Chicago police of his contacts with him but received no acknowledgment. Subsequently he has submitted a sworn affidavit which has so far not been acknowledged by the Chicago Police.

Larry’ Sinclair’s original video on YouTube has received more than 800,000 hits and his blog is in the top ten percentile on WordPress. Links to all his radio interviews can be found at his blog together will all contact details for the media.

After Texas and Ohio the Obama campaign had no choice but to "fight" back at the kitchen sink strategy.  I honestly believe that he did not want to do this approach, but unfortunately old school dirty politics still resonates with voters.

I for one am sick of it on both ends and will be so glad when this is all over.

If the Clintons are going to throw the kitchen sink at Obama, what is he supposed to do?  Nothing?  If he does nothing then the Clintons say he's not tough enough to win against the Republicans.  If he does defend himself, then the Clintons cry foul.  It's like trying to deal with a grade school bully.

Ed Rendell For VP!!!!

This is getting to be so comical.  Hillary's a riot when she's having a panic attack.  Breath into a paper bag, Hillary.

BS they don't deny it!  Is that the best excuse he can come with for the negative trash he and the clinton campaign has been spewing?  I've never seen so many adults tell bold face lies in my life!  I've never seen so many comments taken out of context and manipulated to be unrecognizable.  Incredible!  Maybe I just have never seen a campaign so desperate to win at all costs.  It sure is ugly.  It's like a wounded animal thrashing about throwing blood and guts on everyting and everyone around.  It is a pitiful sight.  I hate it.  
Come on superdelegates, save this creature and line up behind Senator Obama who is the leader in delegates and end this agonizing episode of the primary.

A lot of military folks were offended by Hillary's Bosnia comments.  They have to face real sniper fire and it's not appeciated when she laughs about it the way she did on St Patrick's day.  She showed real insensitivity not just because she lied but also because she was laughing as she was lied and then she went on the Tonight show and made a joke of her lie.  If Hillary somehow pulls off the nomination, you can bet this issue will be back.

Stop the he said/she said nonsense. This nitpicking is schoolyard stuff.  PA  just shut up and vote so we won't have to listen to another week of whining from the campaigns and insults being slung by opposing supporters.    Please put Hillary on the next train out of town.

I love how the Clinton campaign says, "Yes, we're dirty.  At least we don't deny it."

What the hell kind of argument is that?

Hillary's Bosnia comments are a big problem with the military not just because Hillary lied but also because she was laughing about it as she lied. Sniper fire is serious stuff.

Obama is definitely not a hypocrite.  He had the opportunity at the last debate to twist the knife in Hillary when she responded to the Bosnia question but he passed on it.  Hillary had no problem twisting the knife when she had the chance which shows her real lack of character.

A desperate politician vs a hypocritical politician, both using old-style politics. Ironically, they keep saying that while these tactics are from "Republican playbooks", it is the republican candidate, Sen. John McCain, that has been straightforward about the facts. John McCain promised to keep the debate "only about the issues", and will try to prevent 527-ads from far-right swift-boat groups, WHILE Barack Obama is still twisting John McCain's "100-year presence" comment.

Ah, politics.

Huffington Post:

Reports that somebody hacked The Obama websites, and redirected his hits to Hillary's site. Also, several laptops were stolen from his campaign headquarters. Real slimey.

The Clintons’ net worth has gone up by 100 million dollars. They are now Republicans. But they still pretend to be the working man's friends. Is that hypocrisy? No. It is a big con worthy of GW and the last 8 years of BS. I hear the theme from the Sting playing and see noses being thumbed at the voters.  It’s just an allergy (to the truth).

"Why Women Shouldn't Vote for Hillary Clinton" * by Camille Paglia * 4/20/08

EXCERPT:  " ..... Whatever her official feminist credo, Hillary's public career has glaringly been a subset to her husband's success. Despite her reputation for brilliance, she failed the Washington, DC bar exam. Thus her migration to Little Rock was not simply a selfless drama for love; she was fleeing the capital where she had hoped to make her mark ..... In Little Rock, every role that Hillary played was obtained via her husband's influence - from her position at the Rose Law Firm to her seat on the board of Wal-Mart to her advocacy for public education reform. In a pattern that would continue after Bill became president, Hillary would draw attention by expressing public "concern" for a problem, without ever being able to organise a programme for reform ..... The argument, therefore, that Hillary's candidacy marks the zenith of modern feminism is specious. Feminism is not well served by her surrogates' constant tactic of attributing all opposition to her as a function of entrenched sexism. Well into her second term as a US Senator, Hillary lacks a single example of major legislative achievement. Her career has consisted of fundraising, meet-and-greets and speeches around the world expressing support for women's rights ..... "

The difference to me is that Obama wants to be part of the new politics.  He wants a free pass on his negative attacks under the guise of change.  Hillary makes no such claim.  She recognizes that we need a fighter in the Whitehouse.

we'll me glad when we hear and see the last of the Clinton's. Enough is enough. She's old wine in an old bottle. We don't need that. Bring on the new wine, bring on Obama and do it quick.

I feel so bad for Clinton. Couldn't she have found someone more competent to represent her on "Meet the Press." Hillary Clinton, next time you run for president, surround yourself with strong women like you. Don't just pick people because of "loyalty." Perhaps you haven't been the best candidate, but your team has also really let you down, time and time again. You need to kick them ALL to the curb. I can't believe you've let this happen. Your campaign has been a prime example of nepotism at its worst. I really liked you before.

It is what it is.

Yes, Obama is a hypocrite, Clinton is a scandalous liar and McCain is just plain old.  Now what????  

Mentioning old...  Clinton vs. Obama is getting real old.

Recognizing the United States will never have a perfect canidate for President, one just doesn't exist, I'm voting for Obama.  He is a breath of fresh air with the least amount of baggage.  (Why doesn't anyone ever remember he is just as much white as he black - why is it such a big deal?)

This is my first posting and this has been on mind for awhile...  how much does Bill Clinton get paid for his campaign speeches...  don't his words of wisdom go for about $200,000.  No wonder Hillary's campaign is going broke with the schedule that guy keeps.  Just wondering...  

I know the media wants this drama to continue, but we are getting sick and tired of it.  Clinton has been complaining, whining and run negativity ever since NH.  Media stop trying to egg this on.  Hillary may win PA but not by the margin she needs to and Obama will be the nominee.  

Clinton can't have it both ways, she cant expect Obama to be her punching bag forever.  And, Obama has brought up all the baggage of the Clinton's and attack her personally like she has.  

As for the military, they didn't like Bill who rolled back the military leaving us unprepared for the aftermath of 9/11 and they don't like it now.  And military folks take  it seriously when someone tries to act all commander and chief but isn't.  No person forgets being shot at.

No wonder Obama recieves the most in military donations than either Clinton or McCain.  And as for all the hype about McCain war record being positive for the fall, I don't think so.  It reminds me of something Churhill said, "Old men stubborness leads to young men death".

Chuck I lost respect for you after your pontificating on Petretus running for office (wrong), it's not the responsiblity for journalist to investigate the news (you guys are lazy just waiting for the campaigns to feed you talking points and just running with those that strike your fancy) and just spewing what ever comes into your head.  Just count the delegates, that's all you are really good for.

Rendell for VP!!!!!!!!

The comments of Gen. Walter Stewart (ret.) were repudiated by the Obama campaign almost as soon as he uttered them. In addition to this - the program this is mentioned in reference to, Meet the Press, contains a segment with David Axelrod making it clear that these comments did not come from the campaign, but came from the veteran and the campaign does not stand behind his comments.

It is interesting that the Clinton campaign can see hypocrisy in others, but are myopic to their own.  At least Obama had the courtesy to say Clinton would be better than McCain.  Clinton actually puts McCain above Obama.  Everyone hopes all three will be better than Bush.

It is obvious to anyone that Clinton has ran an "old school" top down campaign.  And its negative.  Obama has ran a top notch grass roots (bottom up) campaign.  The negative from the Obama camp is coming as a response to negative from Clinton. The hypocrasy from the Clinton campaign in the last few weeks is unreal.  I'm so sick of the Clinton attacks I'm actually tuning the whole thing out.  I was paying attention......now when Clinton's camp speaks I hear the same 'ole, same 'ole.  And it kinda reaks.

Usually in Clinton stump speeches, she always has something negative to say, thats how she gets her applause, Obama would tend to focus on McCain but has to defend himself against Hillary attacks.  I'll be so happy when he wins and this is over.

Ed Rendell was embarrassing himself on Face the Nation.  When questioned about Hillary's negative attacks he did not deny it, instead, he said that they were not hypocrites about it.

What EXACTLY does that mean? That means, that YES, they are all about negative attacks and stand for the OLD type of politics.

This is truly why we need someone like Obama as president. Someone who can rise above this horrible type of sniping. McCain can't and certainly Hillary can't. Only Obama can.

YES WE CAN!

http://laststopmidwest.blogspot.com

I say that and yelled at the TV, not hypocritical?  And he said it with a straight face.  He also said however, at a Democratic meeting, "He would be the one to tell Hillary she has to pull out if PA is not the double-digit they all predicted, what, a WEEK ago?  Of course on Meet the Press, he was trying desperately to reset expecations and no matter what, they have to use up the balloons and confetti they bought, not likely they will get another chance!  Go Barack Go!

Michelle tells us about the real Barack Obama...
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2008/02/12/lkl.michelle.obama.long.cnn

What if they ran a negative campaign and no one paid attention until they said something substantive?  Each side believes that the other side started it, and of course I am sure that my side didn't.  Perhaps we should ask ourselves about the positives we have seen, not who has thrown the least trash, experienced the most garbage in the past and survived to tell to fight another day, or done the best to denounce and reject any of their associates or supporters who misspoke or been caught on video.  Who makes us feel the most positive about the chances for a better future, confident in their leadership, and trusting of their better angels not be trampled by a quest for power.

Barack got a new superdelegate to his column: South Dakota State Party Chair Jack Billion!
