I've got buyer's remorse for following the Clinton campaign for these many months. I'm about ready to gouge my eyes out if I read much more of this crap the Clinton camp is slinging.

Obama was against the war from the start but will not vote against funding it and now was against NAFTA from the start but will not commit to withdrawal.

“I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views,” Mr. Obama wrote in “The Audacity of Hope, his I’m-running-for-president book. “As such, I am bound to disappoint some, if not all, of them.”

This guy is a lunatic. I mean do we want people this dillusional running the country? If Hillary picked up the phone at 3am, and we've been bombed, she's liable to say 'well only 14 bombs hit us, one missed, so I'd say that's a failure on there party'.

Mark Penn is sorta like the Democratic version of George Bush's "Brownie"...

"Good Job Brownie!"

We see how well that turned out...

I think it's hilarious that between Penn and Wolfson, neither one of them could think of a time she was ACTUALLY tested during an emergency. They want to say the war vote doesn't count, but a figurehead speech on rights in China counts as a 3am emergency? That counts? Sure...

Keep knocking on doors Penn/Wolfson, cause that load of bull isn't sellin' here.

Former Dem, California — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:41:34 GMT

Obama: wrong then or wrong now?
Submitted by R. Neal on Fri, 2008/02/01 - 9:07am.
In last night's debate, Obama decided that Clinton's vote on Iraq would be the defining issue to highlight the differences between the candidates. He went on the attack. Wolf Blitzer encouraged it and tried to bait Hillary into saying something stupid. It didn't work.

But here's what I find interesting about Obama's argument. He emphasized that the authorization passed by Congress said "use of military force in Iraq" right there in the title. Everybody understood what it was. He said Clinton may have experience on day one, but that it's more important to be right on day one. He questioned her judgement and put her on the defensive about her position, which is basically that Congress was lied to.

But yes, Clinton did vote for the resolution, along with 28 other Democratic senators -- the majority of the Senate Democratic Caucus. One of them was John Kerry. Here's what Obama said at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in his keynote speech endorsing John Kerry as the Democratic nominee for president:

Obama: And John Kerry believes that in a dangerous world war must be an option sometimes, but it should never be the first option.

[..]

When we send our young men and women into harm’s way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they're going, to care for their families while they're gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world.

So, which is it Senator Obama? Being deceived by fudged numbers and shaded truth, or bad judgement? He can't have it both ways. Why has he changed his position? Why did he support Kerry and excuse his vote for the war, and attack Clinton for hers? Is Obama saying Kerry's judgement was sound but Clinton's wasn't? Why? Because she's a woman? Because her name is Clinton?

In 2004, Democrats were accused of being weak on terrorism and national security. Creeps like Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney called them traitors. Democrats talked tough to push back and to reassure the American people. Obama went along for the ride. Four years later, the "war on terror" is a catastrophic failure, and both Democrats and Republicans are trying to distance themselves. Now Obama is on board for that, too, and criticizing people who actually had to make tough decisions on the record -- a record that he does not have. Obama should worry less about striking the right pose for whatever media spotlight is on him at the moment and more about being consistent, especially when he's going to attack fellow Democrats for tough decisions he has never had to make.

Obama is history. He is so not going anywhere. All talk and no action, no experience, no back bone to stand up for himself. Needs any and all to fight his battles and explain what he heck he just said. Go back to the good ideals of Regan and leave us alone. We need Hillary to take on real problems.

Hillary is really a good person who has just been a victim of the Obama movement. If she had run in 2004, she would probably be President right now. But it's Obama's turn now! I've been voting for 30 years and this is the most exciting candidate I've ever seen. John McCain is a war hero, but he won't even know what hit him by election day.

So let me get this straight. Wolfson says that if Clinton wins in RI only...Obama is in trouble? Did he really say that? I know it was a conference call but do you think he said that with a straight face? I've heard about lowering expectations, but isn't that just about as low as you can go? Next thing you know, their firewall will be Peurto Rico. I can hear the spin now..."Well, just wait for the voters in PR".

I'm not understanding how Obamaheads can continue to support his position that he is not the "same old Washington politician". His campaign seems to be doing everything every presidential campaign has done in the past. I would like somebody on the blog to name one thing Obama HASN"T done that could be considered same old Washington politics. He's raised piles of money from all kinds of questionable resources. He's accused the Clinton campaign of running negative ads. He's accused her basically of lying, he's said she'd "DO OR SAY ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED". Which is basically accusing someone of having no morals or character. He's run misleading ads. He's changed his position on several issues. I just don't get it. I don't get where the CHANGE is? And, sorry, I'm not going to buy that "everybody else did it first" crap. He says he's different. YOU TELL ME HOW!

Obama constantly says one thing, then does another.
He says he's always been against the war in Iraq.
Yet, he voted to continue funding it on several occasions.
If you're against the war, then why vote to fund it?
That doesn't make any sense.

Do you really trust a "leader" who can't even run a good campaign against a guy who no one knew. What a fiasco. Look at their abilities folks. One is ready, sharp. organized and able to bring new into the process. The other is angry, disorganized, blaming others and can't find a message

Gary — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:47:37 GMT

For some reason, Hillary's vote on the initial resolution bothers Obama, but he is not bothered by the "yea" votes of Kerry, Daschle, Dorgan, and Dodd, whose endorsements he holds. I can't figure that out. Are Kerry, Daschle, Dorgan, and Dodd are making a “poor” judgement again since they are endorsing Obama based on his own analogy and logics?

Pundits keep saying the Clinton Campaign keeps moving the Goal posts I say they just change the rules when they do not win. In Texas they did not take the time to understand the bifurcated primary and caucus rules so now they need to sue to change the rules if they do not win. Claim that I have 35 years of experience but most of it as spouse to a President but when the experience hurts claim not part of the bad decisions. The experience I see is changing positions when they fit her personal needs . Vote for the bankruptcy law but when the most stringent one failed glad it did not pass. Expereince equates judgement. What I see is a lack of sound judgement on Ms. Cliton's part. Now Obama has to win all of the primaries or the voters have rejected him. Maybee Obama having won the majority of the primaries and caucuses with the majority of the ELECTED delgates shows the voters REJECTED Ms. Clinton. Spin that Ms. Clinton

One of the downfalls of relying too much on "experience" is that it keeps you from being able to adapt to new realities.

We cannot continue to be so REACTIONARY to every real and imagined threat. We need to be PROACTIVE in moving America in the direction we want to go. We NEED new thinking, not just experience.

The problems we face cannot be fixed with armies, bluster, and threats. It's time to turn the page.

--It’s just practice/warm up for the Republicans ...

In other words, if Obama loses even one state next week -- making the race since Feb. 5 14-1 -- it would show voters have big concerns about him.
--If even one state is concerning, then Clinton must be eleven times concerned. Actually, she is as evidenced by her desperation and politics of despair.

Is it reverse day being that its LEAP DAY.

so let me get this straight if Obama wins he still loses and Hillary Wins. If Hillary loses close she still wins. If Obama wins 3 of 4 he actually Lost big and Hillary wins big.

I understand their logic now.. i guess that's how after winning 11 in a row and (somehow) not having the media call and the party call for your exit.. Mike Huckabee anyone.. allows them to self medicate with a heavy dose of delusion and claim "We still have a mandate to go on"

This is getting more and more to look like desperation from a group who realize the gravy train is ending and they need to now get real jobs.. ugg

Yes Senator Obama, let's talk about your opposition to the war. In 2002 you said you were against it; where exactly is the record of your vote on authorization...oh that's right, you weren't in the Senate in 2002.In 04 you stood up for Senator Kerry's authorization (and he's endorsed you in 2008).

Since your election to the Senate you have been a stalwart voice against the war; you have voted for continued financing of the war, and have failed to enter one piece of legislation calling for an end to the war, or enter your objection to the war into the Senate record.

You are a duplicitous lying scumbag Senator,and a hypocrite.

That aside, the comments coming from both campaigns,on a variety of subjects,range from ridiculous to ludicrous. Why don't we just put you on TV and have Survivor: The Democratic Party. We could put all of you on an island and maybe forget where it is. Let's put the Republicans on another island. Whoever is left on either side wins the chance to beat the crap out of each other on pay per view. That has to be a more intelligent approach to the steaming pile of cow pie that is this election cycle than what we've got now. At least it will be more entertaining than this crap.

this just in : If Hillary gets one vote from any state next Tuesday she is going to be the new front runner. She is not going to let even one person down if they support her to stay in. So remember you do not need to go to the polls cause someone else will cast that one vote for Hillary and we will win.
