Dangerous territory for Obama to be in. Making comments on issues of substence opens him up to the same questions. Does 2 years in the Senate equate to any experience on his part? Better for Barack to stick to the "Hope" and "Change" themes rather then have to explain to people just what exactly has he done - which to this observer is . . . nothing.

POSTED TODAY ON OBAMA'S WEBSITE:

The Clinton campaign today maintained that “the vetting of Barack Obama has just begun.” The truth is, more than a year into this campaign, some very simple vetting of Hillary Clinton has yet to start.

In the face of her unwillingness to release her tax returns, Hillary Clinton has made the false case in this campaign that she is more electable because she has been fully vetted. When it comes to her personal finances, Senator Clinton’s refusal to release her taxes returns denies the media and the American people the opportunity to even begin that process. Though her campaign has tried to kick the issue down the road, Democratic voters deserve to know, right now, why it is she is hiding the information in her tax returns from last year.

The Clinton campaign has said that they have released copious amounts of financial information but there are many questions about their private dealings that could be answered in their tax returns but not in the information that is currently available. For example, here are eight pieces of information that could be learned from her tax returns, the accompanying schedules, and attachments:

Effective tax rate – including whether or not any tax shelters were used to reduce it
Amount of income for spouses by source
Amount of stock gains and losses
Gross income for the couple
Amount earned from stock dividends
Amount of household employment taxes paid
Personal exemptions taken
Charitable contributions made
Senator Clinton has also claimed that she is too “busy” to release her tax returns. Given the fact she is able to loan her campaign $5 million, you would think the Clintons would be able to hire an accountant. The reality is that she wants to keep this information hidden from voters. The people of Wyoming, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and the rest of the country should wonder why.

The Clintons’ record on releasing tax returns:

FEBRUARY 2008: Clinton Reiterated That She Would Not Release Her Tax Records Until She Is The Nominee And Not Before Mid-April. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says she won't release her tax returns until she has the Democratic presidential nomination in hand, and not before tax filing time comes in mid-April. "I will release my tax returns," Clinton said during the debate. "I have consistently said I will do that once I become the nominee, or even earlier." Pressed about the timing of releasing her tax returns, campaign aides were more reticent Wednesday, indicating that Clinton would not release the sensitive financial data during a hotly contested primary, but only at tax filing time. [AP, 2/27/08]

JUNE 2007: Clinton Does Not Plan to Release Her Tax Returns Until Next Year. According to the Washington Post, Clinton said through a spokesman that, “like past presidential candidates,” she will “release tax information in the election year.” [Washington Post, 6/19/07]

APRIL 12, 1996: Clinton Released His Tax Returns. President Clinton and his wife earned $316,074 in 1995, including the president's $200,000 salary, according to tax returns released Friday by the White House. The public release of the tax returns, three days before the April 15 filing deadline, shows that Clinton and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton are owed a refund of $5,656 on the $81,093 they paid in taxes, and will apply that refund to their 1996 income taxes. [UPI, 4/12/96]

April 15, 1992: Bill Clinton Made His Tax Returns Public. APRIL 15, 1992: Bill Clinton made his tax returns made public. [Los Angeles Times, 4/16/93]

1) This attack is AFTER the elections.
2) PA is a closed primary
3) The support for Hillary is not something rational. It is largely the support of higher name recognition in Latinos and female loyalty in white women and nanny-state democrats. Thus her 46% in votes will simply not default to Obama in November

Giving Clinton the nod would be the biggest mistake the Democrats have made in a long time: UTTERLY UNELECTIBLE. If you think she can win the general against a middle leaning republican like McCain you are kidding yourself. Have her fav/unfav ratings changed? Wasn't it like 40/48? Good luck winning a working majority when 48% will never vote for you.

After Hillary proved to have the same blood as her husband, the "Come Back Kid", the punditry ilk this morning is scratching their heads, looking down at their plates, and thinking of how to rationalize Hillary's wins in yesterday's primary wins in Texas and Ohio that left egg all over their faces.

Go Obama! I'm so sick of the vile, disgusting manuevers of the Clinton campaign. It's not worth abandoning all morals and decency for democrats to take back the White House. Clinton suggesting "as far as I know" Obama's not Muslim, Clinton keeping the Canada-NAFTA story alive long after the Canadian Embassy denied the story, suggesting that Obama is tied to Rezko, yet they are unable to provide these mystical "ties"... the Clintons race-baiting in New Hampshire, the Clintons fear-mongering in Texas and Ohio...

A lot of America is tired of it. We didn't like it when Republicans played nasty politics, and we don't like it when Democrats play nasty politics, either.

Here we go! Go Obama. Challenge Hillary on her claim of "experience" and "having a red phone moment". With all do respect to Laura Bush, Obama and his campaign may have to draw a similarity to what Hillary Clinton did and what Laura Bush did while in the White House to show Americans what Hillary's "experience" is really about. Should Laura Bush now claim to have 11 years of "experience" because she is GW Bush's wife and has been the first lady of Texas and the US?

I think Obama (as well as the other past Democratic candidates) should have challenged Hillary on her 'experience' claim over three weeks ago. Obama just let it go without challenging her on it. He should point out that Hillary has been elected to public office for only 7 years as well her one "red phone call moment" was should we go to war with Iraq, and she said YES. He needs to keep pushing the issue of judgement on important issues such as going after Al Qaeda, going to war in Iraq, and dealing with Iran. He needs to show how Hillary's character and judgement are not presidential, like when she said "Putin doesn't a have soul", and then Putin responded back later "the head of a state should have a head". This also applies to McCain, especially when McCain says "that when he sees Putin he only sees KGB". This is not the type foreign policy experience that America needs!

What on Earth in Hillary's mind makes her think she can win. She still is not ahead in the popular vote and experts say she won't be by convention time. She still is way behind in pledged delegates (that represent the will of the people.) And she still is way behind in overall delegates. She stupidly makes the argument "I am more electable because I have won the big states." Guess what, Hillary, your running against another democrat. Those states are going democrat--in the general election. In fact, Obama brings in far more independent and republican votes that Hillary does.

So, if Hillary won, tell me--what did she win??

The overall popular vote? The pledged delegates??

What? What Hillary didn't do last night was loose--everthing.

So how is "Winning Defined?" I gues it is clear, that the will of the American people means nothing-- if Hillary is nominated after losing the popular vote and the pledged delegate count.

And don't think for a minute that the American people will allow the above scenerio to happen.

A joint ticket is not a good thing. I am a "cross over Republican" I will cross over for Obama. I would not cross over for a joint ticket with Hillary on it in either position because I think she is not trustworthy. Experience as a first lady does not give experience as a president. (My husband is a home builder--that doesn't mean I know how to build a house though I've been on many job sites and I've listened in on many early am calls for a crisis of some sort or another) And, I think the two of them together are like oil and water---they would not make a good team and would be disruptive to each other.

Obama has one week of criticism and he is calling it "the kitchen sink" strategy. Give me a break.

The media was called out by SNL and Obama has to whine to Loren Michaels...lets hope Loren will let the mockery of "the vast liberal conspiracy" continue to be scruitinized. Afterall, if having the judgement to be president is based on the stand against invading Iraq...then thousands of city and county council members -not to mention state legislators- are aptly prepared to be commander in chief. Buck up Obama...lets see if you can stand the heat. Because we all know the republicans are licking their chops to get to you.

Obama had to hope that this campaign was done last night as now the Tony Rezko trial will be in full swing and the campaign will be still ongoing. The questions about his associations with Rezko will continue and will tarnish the golden boy image. He will try to bring up the so-called Clinton scandals of the past but he will look bad in doing so, it will be in opposite of what his campaign has promised in the past, and he will just look like he is participating in "politics as usual". If there is a conviction in the Rezko case or if Obama gets called to testify in the next few weeks this could be very damaging to him.

The sad part is that a woman I once respected has lost all my respect in the face of competition with an honorable man. Smearing your enemy who does the same to you is one thing but to smear a colleague is downright disgusting.

Hillary likes to call herself a ‘fighter’ and I really think there are more accurate terms that are not very complimentary. Her problem is that she is quick and aggressive while lacking sensitivity and even a touch of humility, which simply results in her polarizing people instead of bringing them together. With her everything seems to be just about her, with her boldly doing and saying whatever she thinks will get her what she wants. As demonstrated over her history, she has difficulty in getting things done when she alienates instead of promotes cooperation. So the rhetoric she offers may sound impressive but then she can actually be her own stumbling block and leave those who are dependent on her promises disappointed as she rationalizes and changes gears. I wouldn't put too much faith in or be overly impressed by a lot of what she says and rather may stay open to Obama's softer and more cooperative ways.

Come on, folks: She won the over 44 white women and white women over 70: the I'm afraid to be raped by a black man crowd. I am an Obama supporter and I would support him no matter what color or gender he was. Hillary I would be against no matter what color or gender she was. I see something fine in Barack, but in Hillary I see a loud mouthed opportunist. Go, Barack! Her dirty campaigning worked, so give her what she gave. Her strategist, Mark Penn, works for the same p.r. firm that represents Blackwater and many Dubai companies who want to "clean up" their image and many dictators as well. I wonder why she hired him? And I wonder why the press never mentioned it? Just who is getting the free pass around here? And why do they never mention the affair she had with her Arkansas mentor when she found out about Bill's dirty little secrets. Did anyone ever wonder why Chelsea doesn't look the least bit like Bill? Ever wonder why she forgave him so readily? Hillary already vetted? That's a joke. This woman is mentally ill.

Barack Obama should be extatic at the success he has achieved in Texas and Ohio. Those were Hillary's to lose. She had 20+ point leads two weeks ago and now she barely held on to Texas and had a weak showing in OH. Barack did very well and nothing in the delegate count changed.

Hillary of course is arguing that, even if she does not win more states, even if she does not win more votes, even if she does not win more delegates, the superdelegates should rescue her because she has won the "big" states which will be necessary in a general election. But she fails to explain why Barack will not win the "big" states, which are democrat strongholds, against John "supports the war" McCain.

And she contradicts herself by saying that every vote and every state should have a chance to participate and vote, because every vote is important when it suits her argument for allowing FL and Michigan to include their delegatges. If that is the case, why is she constantly arguing that the "big" states are more important that the smaller states?

She represents politics at its worst.

Poor Obama. Take note America. Obama is NOT ready for prime time. He is clearly a ROOKIE. If the office he was running for was a literary position in some collegiate setting, surely he would qualify. There is NO way he is ready to be Commander in Chief of the United States of America. As far as his lead in either the popular vote or delegate count, I would suggest that you go and take a look at the states he has actually won. In the first place these are not the states the Demcrats have to carry to win in November. Hillary has won the states necessary to accomplish this feat. Next, the majority of the states he has won have been caucuses. These clearly disinfranchise a large portion of voters because they take place at night and lots of people cannot attend. The reasons are work-related, familty-related, or the elderly that may not be able to drive at night. Primaries allow the public to come all day - long into the night. Also, may I point out that neither candidate will have the number of delegates needed to win the nomination by the convention. This is where the super delegates come into the picture. The reason they are part of the democratic process is to come into the process if a situation like this occurs. It is their responsibility to be independent and use their judgment based on the elections to choose the candidate that can WIN in November, not the person they like the most or the person their constituents like the most. As far as "throwing the kitchen sink" at Obama. Trus me, Hillary has just touched the tip of the iceburg. Imagine what the Republicans would do to Obama. This is clearly just another indication that Obama is not qualified. Come on America. Hillary has shown that she is action behind her words, solutions to our problems and she is one tough cookie. Let's roll up our sleeves like Hillary has and work with this champion of our party and win in November.

Its time for Obama to take off the gloves and give Team Billary a dose of the "scorched earth" they talk so much about. Ethics? She wants to talk about land deals with Rezko? How about Whitewater and the unseemly departure from the White House with china and furniture in tow? How about disgraced fugitive campaign contributor Mr. Hsu? A taste/flair for sex scandals? talk about Bill and Monica being fast-forwarded into the present with her poor judgment in using LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa as her Latino pitchman despite his affairs with former TV anchor Mirthala Salinas between 2005-2007. Let's see if "she stands by her man" on this one. On the economy and jobs, point out Billary's role and association with the India lobby (and related campaign $$$$ contributions) on supporting the outsourcing of jobs from the US to Calcutta and New Delhi. On the same them, point out her less than watchful role on the anti-labor Wal-Mart Corp. board of directors and the support she receives from the China lobby (also with related campaign $$$ contributions). Point out all the needless conflict and classless behavior associated with the 1st Billary Administration during 1992-2000. The next 7 weeks are going to be fun, there is a hell of a lot more material out there on Billary than there is on Obama. I advise that you buy your popcorn early, sit back and enjoy.

So Obama you have lost my support. I will gladly restart my support if you do one thing. Give America what they want, win at no cost politics, quit worrying that the dem party will be hurt (Clinton doesn't care) and take the gloves off. The American people and media want a fight well Clinton has enough garbage to go after.
For instance. Unions backing her, I'm a Union worker, and I personally can't beleive you are supporting her with her Wal-mart back ground, and the fact that she is a Wall Street Dem not a labor dem!!!
Go after her lack of transparence which the tax returns are just the start of.
And for all you people that say 1) if she can't handle the clinton attacks how would he handle the Republican attacks. Well thats easy, it's about not wanting to distroy the party, now I think that has to be thrown out. 2)What about a new type of politics: I will just repeat sometimes you have to beat them at there game before you can change things.

Unity, How can we achieve it? — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 20:07:44 GMT

A lot of people who post of this blog must be ignorant. Barack was 20 points behind in both states just 2 weeks ago. Hillary implored late last week that, "If Barack didn't win all four states the American people must be having second thoughts about him." How about the fact that Madame Clinton won Ohio by 10 points and TX by 3 or 4 points means the American people are SURELY having second thoughts about YOU.
I am a student at SMU law, and I sometimes wonder who will be whiling to run for the most pretigious office in our country when I am in my forties. Maybe I could. But considering my last name is Kish I would find it hard to think I would be successful in obtaining this position if I were running against a "well-known" American name. And also I didn't attend Harvard or Yale for law. (I should have thought about that earlier)
I view last nights wins as a lost for Clinton. To drop your lead in half in only two weeks seems horrible. I find it terrible that the media spins things the way they do. Shame on you MSM!! And congrats to Barack...the ulimate fighter. I love the quote, "We didn't lose the game, we just ran out of time." God Bless America.

Senator Obama, who takes great pride in saying he learned politics Chicago style ( where most politicians find themselves indicted ), ought not challenge Senator Clinton's ethics--at least not until he answers all questions fully and honestly about his own.

I actually think that if Obama has a chance at the nomination, this will be his moment to show that he can fire back as good as he gets. Her campaign dominated the news cycle over the last week and I think that it hurt Obama. Her constant criticism of him is that he will not be ready for the types of attacks that the Republicans will lodge. While I wish that politics didn't have to be the scorched earth policy it seems to be, this will be a good chance for Obama to flex his political muscle and show the Dems and the Superdelegates especially (who look more and more to be the deciding factor) that he has the entire package, the ability to inspire, the ability to lead, and the ability to launch and takes punches from the opposing side. Should be interesting to watch.

People who have glass houses should not be throwing stones. While Obama questions Hillary's experience, he makes empty assertions about being chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee. Yet when asked, he had to admit he has not been able to take a vote or make any recommendations on that subcommittee because he accepted the chairmanship at the start of his campaign. Hmm, let's see, wouldn't an ethical person not accept such a position if he knew he would not be able to do anything with it? Shouldn't he let someone else accept the chairmanship so that at least someone is doing something in terms of Foreign Relations? And shouldn't Obama stop insinuating that he voted against the war in Iraq, when all he did was give a speech? Sounds to me like the junior senator from Illinois knew he was in dire need of some credentials and experience and had to stretch the truth about that vote and the chairmanship. So what else may he be lying about?

I think we all need to take a step back and focus our attention on McCain instead of on each other. Regardless of the tactics used so far we need to unite in defeating the Republicans. Please stop this petty name calling it only serves to help John McCain. You all are doing exactly what the Republican right was hoping for!

i think obama has to go all out against the clinton campaign because they are clearly not going to stop at anything to stop obama be it tarnishing his name and reputation. if hillary clinton knows what was good for her then she would concede defeat and let the democrats focus on beating the republicans with obama at the forefront so that he brings a refreshing change to america and its policies

Starting today Obama needs to go after McCain and leave Hillary alone to practice her withcraft!

Put all the focus on how he is the one candidate that can not only run against but beat McCain in Nov. Take him on like this is the general election and show this country what you have to offer! Don't stoop to the Clinton bs - that's exactly what they want (remember... we're dealing with pro's here!)

Hillary is like an irritating fly that just keeps buzzing around your dinner and you keep swatting at it - sooner or later the fly will go away! Because you protect your dinner!

This country was already seriously broken and look at the new lows we have sunk to! I still have the faith that not only will Obama be the next (GREAT) Presidant of these (United????) States - but he will also be able to start the healing process we so desperately need!

Ps: I am a white educated middle aged woman and have voted in every election since I was 18... having said that I can tell you that I will sit this one out before putting either Hillary or McCain in the Oval Office! We've already had 8 years of disgrace! Neither is deserving of my vote!

YES WE CAN!!! OBAMA 08 - KEEP THE FAITH - WE CAN DO IT!

Hillary and Bill have a long history of dishonesty in politics (remember "I did not have sex with that woman"). Therefore, we know what they are willing to do to win. Obama is not portraying himself as a saint, but he has a much better chance with the Republicans as a president (and I don't count rabid radio people in this group)than a candidate who uses smear. Regretably, he is more attackable because he promotes dignity in the election process.

While I don't want Obama to climb in the gutter with Hillary he needs to go on the offensive and attack her arguements of more experience and having better judgement. Hillary needs to check her own closet while she's trying to link him to Rezco, his stand on NAFTA and his religion. Hillary better lock her closet door before the bones of the past jump out.

I would love to see the two canidates on one ticket, my concern is, would this cause a defeat for the Democrats. They both have various degrees of experience in politics, and some say they are oil and water, but they both want what is best for this country and they both have combined I feel all the qualitites a President and Vice-President should have and together I believe they can and would make a change. Who should be top of the ticket? Obama, and Clinton would make an excellent running mate. Let's not lose sight of where America is finally headed, let's not lose focus as to why we need both of these individuals in the White House. There are no big I's and little u's when so many millions of lives and futures are at state. They both want the same things for Americans, who cares who drives the bus just so long as we all ride togther. Unity, Let's not let this opportunity to make Dr. King's dream and so many others dream a reality.

Never been so proud to be a Woman! NYC — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 20:34:04 GMT

I am surprised and shocked at all the negative reaction coming from female voters. Hillary is the smartest, toughest, most articulate candidate to come along since Al Gore, and she will surely beat John McCain in November, if given the chance. So why are all you ladies out there putting her down? She's had to be twice as good as any man to get to the point where she is now. And she will surely turn this country around, just like Bill did in the '90's. They're smart, hard-working people, who want to improve this country.

And we as women now have the opportunity to see a woman president, to have some equality in pay and in career aspirations and advances, and to finally crash through the highest of the glass ceilings. Take some pride - don't turn against her. She's doing the best she can and tirelessly fighting for what she believes in. And guess what, when she gets to the White House, she'll be tirelessly fighting for you. Don't squander that chance. Do we really want another president with no experience? Did you see how Bush endorsed McCain earlier today - McCain was better off without him.

Come on ladies - we have a real chance here now. When do you think we'll be fortunate enough to have another smart, articulate, female leader with all the requisite credentials, energy and experience running again?

Let's do it now!

David Templar, Lexington, KY — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 20:36:08 GMT

I agree with the AJ in IL comment above. Obama needs to stress how Clinton's choices regarding going to war in Iraq, rather than focusing on Al Qeada in Afghanistan, and her opinions on Iran do NOT prove she has the best foreign policy judgement to be president. I think Obama stressed a very important, and insightful, point regarding foreign policy during the Austin, TX debate with Clinton. On the topic of Cuba, Clinton said she would not meet with Raul Castro or whoever may succeed him and continue the Communist government there until certain changes were made towards giving more freedoms, etc. But Obama said he would reach out to the Cuban leader to attempt to create dialogue and improve US-Cuban relations. Sometimes, as Obama stated, a leader has to reach beyond practing diplomacy with one's own allies, and make efforts at diplomacy with one's enemies in order to achieve a greater goodness among nations. It's easy to have diplomatic relations with your allies, but it takes a true leader to reach out and try to establish diplomatic relations with those who are not your allies (clearly a concept that the Bush Administration has no idea of, and based upon Clinton's responses concerning Cuba, I think she would just perpetuate the same mentality and approach that the current administration has). Obama went above and beyond by bringing the idea of the need to create diplomatic ties outside of one's own allies...an insightful approach to foreign policy and one that I think would make him a better president at a time when our nation needs a leader who can bring positive foreign relations to the world to repair much of the damage that Bush and his lack of a foreign policy created.

Although we are upset that Obama lost Texas and Ohio last night, we hope that he will come out fighting. I can not belive that everyone "forgets" all of bad things that went on when Bill was President. If Hillary is going to take credit for all the "Good" things that happened, she also needs to face the "Bad". My husband is a Republican and I am a Democrat, but he will be voting for Obama if he receives the nomination. If Hillary gets the nomination, I will not vote, and he will be voting for Mc Cain. Obama is a good and decent man, we feel he will bring our country back to where it needs to be. HOPE is not a bad thing. "Shame on Hillary" for the tactics she has used. I am proud of the fact that there is a woman running. I feel a woman could do a good job, "BUT NOT HILLARY". Barack its time to FIGHT.

What many clintonites do not realize is the big states are only a part of the USA and not the USA. The USA happens to be a majority of small states that support Obama. Hillary did well in Ohio and Texas so you have some bragging rights but so did Obama! He ruduced a 20% lead to 10% in Ohio, 3% in Texas and won the Causus. He won Vermont with a much larger lead than Hillary won in Rhode Island. Do not forget this. The race is certainly not over and Obama is still leading, Hillary is stil trailing and catching him is unlikely, so cut the crap. And BTW Obama do not need Hillary to win come November but she CANNOT win without him. Before you come here talking BS please do the math.

Joma Chicago, Illinois — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 20:55:55 GMT

Barack should not personally bring up the MANY scandals that Hillary has been associated with, but he should definitely have his surrogates doing it. As a loyal Democrat and high character person he has been reluctant to bring up the obvious negatives that everyone knows make her unelectable in the general election, and that everyone knows the Republicans will focus on. Part of me almost wants her to be the appointed nominee so that her blind supporters see how foolish they are, but that is too dangerous in this day and age, so it is up to Barack to save his party and this country from the Clintons and the Republicans alike. I have always been a Clinton supporter until now. I'd support Barack as an Independent candidate if the party can not win control from the unethical Clintons. But if Hillary is appointed I will stay home on election day. Hillary Clinton has no cause other than forcing poor people to buy expensive healthcare and she has no moral compass other than political expediency. She's from Chicago, New York, or Pennsylvania depending on who the crowd is. In a debate she clearly says that the only way to ensure universal healthcare is to mandate that people buy it then denies it. I honestly do not think she is a good person. She is simply power hungry, and this healthcare "plan" is merely a way she can leave her mark. I get no sense of compassion of empathy from her ever, especially when she is supposedly showing her sensitive side. She is a bad actor.

MJ,Brooklyn, NY — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 20:56:05 GMT

Obama-bots are in major denial. Let me see if I can expose some facts here:
Clinton has won all major Democratic states (blue) - for whatever reason. Period.
A Democrat must hold serve - meaning win all of the "blue" states and also take at least two bellweather states in order to win the Presidency.

Obama has won most, if not all, Republican states (red). This makes sense because "red' states will not vote for the stronger Democratic candidate and also won't vote for Clinton as a rule.
Obama and his cult are embarrassingly wrong if they believe that they will "flip" red states, especially if they can not win any of the major blue states.

Caucuses only count in the primaries. The General Elections is much different - no caucuses will show the true nature of the voting trend of a state.
Get a clue and swallow your pride - a little. Obama has made the case that he must be on the Democratic ticket this fall, only as the Vice Presidential candidate. Clinton/Obama would be unstoppable. You have just a little longer to wait - only because your guy does not have quite enough experience to go up against McCain in a credible way. McCain might steal some bellweather states against Obama, but not against Clinton/Obama.
Think wise before putting your feet in your mouths once again.

As an Obama supporter, I have been discouraged to watch him cower a bit during the past few days. He cannot go ballistic on her. He needs his surrogates, but his surrogates are too scared of the Clintons. Hillary and Bill will destroy the party in their collective ego driven pursuit of power.

Senator Clinton has been active on many issues since her college days, you need only look at her record, those who discount it are avoiding the truth.
Can't play 'above the fray' and then get in the dirt, that is called hypocracy my friend, but you do that so well now. A fifteen year frienship is now five minutes of work, hating Nafta and then saying something else to the canadians, saying it is not about race and then calling clinton supporters racists, now there is true hypocracy for ya all.

With her last two weeks of campaigning, the Hillary camp has all but ASKED for an all-out reminder of the Clinton's dirty laundry list, and I can only hope that the Obama campaign and its surrogates are willing to go there.

The Obama list seems rather short and inconsequential in comparison. Other than being an acquaintance of a man who's being prosecuted, can someone tell me what Barack Obama did wrong with regards to Rezko? I'd appreciate it, because everything I've read on the subject makes all of you Clintonites look like fools.

Air it out - the DIRTY LAUNDRY.

Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, and the rest of the Democratic party elites get what they deserve after letting Hillary get so nasty. They are spineless. Everyone knows that the Clintons have a whole trunk full of skeletons that the Repubs have been gnawing on for 8 long years.

There is nothing negative about Obama standing up and showing courage against his opponent's smear tactics. In fact, just from a standpoint of logic and intelligence, Obama has to do this. If Americans and HRC believe the issue of experience is most important in this election, then Americans need to know about Clinton's experience/s. Why do we let her off so easily? She never tells the story about her childhood, her school years etc. Let's ask her questions about her experience. Who is she? Where did she come from? Where did she work? Did she work in the corporate world? Was she a public servant? What has she done for NY? Where are her health care work papers? What kind of work did she do in the White House? From where has all her money come from? What experience has led her to netting 12 million dollars? Let's ask her the same questions. There is nothing negative about that.

Hillary went nuclear and won 3 out of 4, in the process, lost my respect. I supported the Clintons for 8 years.. through thick and thin. But then I found through the primary process, I like Obama. It had nothing to do with disliking Hillary. It had everything to do with the direction I saw Obama going (talk directly with Iran... confronting our enemies politically is a sign of strength and wisdom, and his character shows he has the capability to do it.) So then, Hillary goes nuclear and smears Obama with negativity... and suddenly, I feel for the first time like a Hillary Hater. Suddenly, I understand why 47% of the electorate will never vote for her. I was angry when I saw the results... not that Hillary won, but how she won. I'm not an idiot, I can see through the smear. Get Real? Dems, Get real. She wins through slander and division... and that now tells me how she would lead our country. How does she expect to pull the world back together when she efectively divides the party? She already starts off with 47% of the electorate against her... to which she will also be fighting for 4 years if she is elected. I believe in Obama's message. and I believe he has the potential to unite the country without muddy politics. Does anyone know a republican who will cross over to vote for Hillary? Doe anyone think Texas will vote for Hillary in the general? And now she has the audacity to consider Obama as a nice running mate. My God, the hubris astounds me. Hillary, Get Real.

Come on, Obama, don't create another "red herring" to distract us from the fact that you have not visited 80 countries and worked with diplomats and ambassadors from all over the world; you have not worked to negotiate peace in Ireland; you did not travel to Kosovo and moderate negotiations there; and on and on, it goes. Obama can not deny that Hillary's international experience is much deeper than his. So far, his only claim to experience in this area is that he lived in Indonesia as a child; spoke out against the war in Iraq before he was even in office; and is bi-racial, which he claims makes him able to understand more cultures in the world, Oh yes, his father was a Muslim, so that gives him credibility with the Muslim countries of the world. In analyzing Obama's argument, he is using the common logical fallacy, "stacking the deck," which means he is ignoring all the other evidence to the argument and choosing only the evidence that makes him look good. Come on, folks, let's use our critical thinking skills here!

Tit for tat, as they say. Two can play this game. Obama has little to fear from the tactics of putting it all out there, as the Clinton campaign keeps trying to generate baseless issues about Obama. Clinton's tactics were moderately successful in raising doubts about her opponent, even though their charges were paper-thin. Up to now, the Obama camp has steered mostly clear of directly voicing their concerns about Senator Clinton's ethics, but the squeaky wheel gets all the grease and all the attention, and when you examine the Clinton ethics, you find a bunch of five-alarm fires. So here goes. It's unpleasant, and some will decry the Obama camp's descent from above it all, but when the irritation persists, you apply the ointment.

This is not my preferred approach. I wish Senator Clinton had a little more talent for math, and would understand that she still cannot win with a purely honest and above-board approach, but there she is, playing the Politics of Fear as if she were one of Bill Kristol's best pupils, and we on the Obama side are going to face fear head-on.

Let's put all of the cards on the table, Senator Clinton. Let's get it all out there on both sides so we can take a good look. We've got nothing at all to hide, so we're not worried. How about you?
