The desparation of the Hilliary and Bill Clinton campaign is so very disheartening and apparent. WHAT experience does she POSSIBLY HAVE? She was FIRST LADY and has been a SENATOR--her ONLY elected position. No I don't trust her with the 3 am phone call---it will probably be her husband's latest mistress.

This is ridiculous as is her campaign.

I have a question . . . if the unthinkable happens . . . and terrorists strike America again . . . how will having a "more experienced" President make things any better?

Will the terrorists just go away just because Senator Clinton once took a trip to a neighboring country? Will "islamo-fascism" go into hibernation because America elects a former soldier?

If the phone rings at 3 AM, and the unthinkable has happened, America will need a leader who can bring us all together to fight a common enemy, not turn us against each other and the world with the false security of "us v. them" politics.

This argument BOLSTERS the case for Senator Obama . . . in an uncertain world we need someone with an unwavering vision of what America stands for. That person is Barack Obama.

Amazing how Obama and his people are so quick and thorough when Hillary and her supporters try whatever they can to attack or get a reaction out of Obama. I noticed that about Obama in their last debate. This is a sharp individual you do not want to try and upstage with crap. He is going to very subtley and perhaps sometimes not so subtley rip Mccain a new you know what in the general election campaign. Obama is truly amazing to watch.

If Hillary's vote was indicative of her being a failure then she was in very good company as 77 Senators voted exactly as she did.

Why did they vote that way? Because they were lied to. They actually took our President, the elected leader of the nation, at his word.

So now we are in the war (ditch if you will) and we have to figure out how we will do this without causing more problems. I don't know how we will do that but I know enough to accept that we will never find a solution if we keep gloating over not having voted to get us there in the first place.

So ok. Barach, you are right. We should never put trust in our elected officials again. Now tell me some more about joining the parties together in a spirit of collegiallity.

I can imagine Hillary calling world leaders at 3 AM angrily protesting over something that is not what she wants because she realizes she is a fighter who can cat fight over anything, not seek out common ground in our divided world of 21st century.
Whatever the cocky Penn thinks, only a smart and sensible person will recognize his real intent. The Clinton campaign will say and deploy any tactics to win, whether through litigation or all-out ad attacks enitrely loaded with lies because there is little other negatives they can think of that have truth to them. They also utilize fear monging as if America is a gullible and overly fearful nation despite its superpower status.
I think that the primary reason why Hillary won the primmaries but hardly the cacuses is because of ehr name -- name recognition on the ballot serves as a turn on. But when a group of individuals compete for their candidate and truthfully exchange facts about each candidate, people overcome their prejudice over Obama's name and go over the facts. When voting to choose between Hillary and Obama, Democrats are much more familiar with Hillary, but they don't have anyone to give them their take on the respective candidates since what they get is TV/radio ads and mailers that are misleading or outright false for average voters to make a meaningful decision.

Silly-season has just turned to flat out stupid.

Obama will never win a [g]eneral [e]lection.[ ]Even if he spent a trillion dollars.
Patty,sd,ca
--Normally I try to avoid responding to extreme, baseless posts, but you bring up an interesting point. Given Mr. Obama’s fundraising ability, he might just raise $1,000,000,000,001. Then, he might be able to pull it off—even by your hyperbolic standards. : )

**One trillion dollars is an interesting number, as it’s 1/10th our national debt. No politician is actually worth that.

Tim, W. Michigan — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:36:56 GMT

Let me write a snippet of a speech for Obama regarding that ad:

"Now, Hillary Clinton likes to say that I offer only eloquence and empty words, that I offer hope rather than action. Even though my campaign is getting more folks involved, getting them to think about their political options and the sort of solutions they want, some of her supporters like to claim that the folks supporting me are somehow delusional.

"And now, just today, we see this new ad from her campaign... have you seen it? There is a phone ringing in the white house at 3 AM one morning, and she asks you who you are comfortable having in the White House there to answer, raising the spectre of a terrorist threat, or impending crisis... raising the spectre of fear.

"Well, in answer to that, let me read you a quote:

'One of [my] laws of politics is this: If one candidate's trying to scare you, and the other one's trying to get you to think; if one candidate's appealing to your fears, and the other one's appealing to your hopes; you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.'

"My campaign is getting offering hope because I see a better way of doing things... my campaign is energized by the work and support you all are doing... I am energized by that support... Together we see a different way through the challenges that face us than resorting to the politics of fear and division.

[then, off-handedly]
"Oh, and lest I be charged with some sort of plagiarism, the politician who I just quoted a moment ago? That was Bill Clinton in 2004. '"One of Clinton's laws of politics is this: If one candidate's trying to scare you, and the other one's trying to get you to think; if one candidate's appealing to your fears, and the other one's appealing to your hopes; you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.'"

THAT would make a great speech moment.

(Credit to another poster on a prior First Read thread for first posting the Bill Clinton quote.)

It's easy to run a campaign when it is financed by Tony Rezko and British-Iraqi billionaire Nadhmi Auchi, the man who helped bankroll the purchase of Obama's Chicago mansion with a $3.5 million loan, filtered through none other than Mr. Rezko. Oh yes, one is a convicted felon, and Rezko is about to become one. They both have one thing in common, they are close friends of Barack Obama. Oh well, so much for the politics of "CHANGE".

Sorry, I don't get it. I don't get how calling HRC at 3:00 a.m. the day after a primary has anything to do with this ad. Call me dumb, but I do have a Ph.D. I think it is very cowardly of BO to bash Hillary on her vote on the war. Seeing as she was from NEW YORK, the state that actually got hit by the terrorists (for the SECOND time by the way), and he was just some guy SAYING how he WOULD have voted. It's easy to say how you WOULD vote. It's very different when you're actually on the spot and have to push that button. Which btw, he has not had the guts to do how many times? How many times did he refuse to vote for or against bills in his own state. You know, it's real easy for me to be critical of those senators who voted for the war when I'm sitting out here in the middle of rural Arkansas with almost zero threat of a terrorist attack. It's also real easy for us to forget that 70 or 80 percent of Americans happened to be for going to the war when that vote was taken. Have you all forgotten that? Now that things aren't going so great, all the sudden we have amnesia. But I think we should have some respect for the people who live on the terrorists' "FRONT LINES", i.e. cities like New York and D.C. I'm sure it is very different from their view of the world.
