So then for all accounts, all Former First Ladies are qualified to be the next President with a vast range of overseas experiences. I think Hillary is a liar and I'm glad someone is calling her out on her experience.

No former White House staff would say any first lady that traveled overseas doesn't have foreign experience. They all do, they know (or must remember) the names of other countries Presidents and Prime Ministers, especially when they are invited for dinner.

I want to know, WHAT foreign policy has she passed. I want to know what foreign minister or president she negotiated with on her own without just ‘being in the room’ during a conversation. I want to know what staff has she called into a room and led a foreign policy meeting to drive new policies.

Street gangs have negotiated more treaties across gangs than Hillary with any 'foreign' country.

Obama’s selective willingness to ‘fight back’
Posted March 7th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Share This | Spotlight | Permalink

Slate’s John Dickerson had an interesting item last night that seemed to summarize the conventional wisdom on intra-party criticism pretty well.

The Clinton team is setting the same trap for Obama my 4-year-old sets for her older brother. She hits him knowing that he’ll get in trouble for hitting back. Right on cue, Clinton’s senior aide Ann Lewis set it up. “I didn’t realize their version of new politics was to recycle old Republican tactics,” she said. If voters put both campaigns in the corner for a timeout, it may hurt Obama more because his claim to be a new kind of above-the-fray candidate means he’s held to a higher standard. If Obama pays no penalty for the fracas, the Clinton folks still take him for a roll in the dirt where he can’t offer his appealing message of hope, change, inspiration, and hope. Clinton, by contrast, reinforces her fighter image.

This is not a new dilemma for Obama. We’ve been talking [about] it for a year. What’s new is that he is under more pressure than ever to punch back. It’s not just that he can’t let Clinton’s attacks hang in the air. He has to show Democrats that he’s a fighter, too…. If he’s going to be the nominee, he’s going to face a lot worse from Republicans — and the barrage will be constant if he’s president.

This is pretty much what everyone knows to be true — Clinton engaged Obama, Obama tried to stay above the fray, Clinton prevailed. Obama therefore is expected to pull off a tricky move — go negative on Clinton while a) enduring Clinton’s mockery about “abandoning the politics of hope”; and b) sticking to the positive message that has gotten him to this point.

But when I read Dickerson’s item last night, I paused on a couple of points that didn’t seem quite right. Obama, for example, “has to show Democrats that he’s a fighter.” That’s true, but I couldn’t help but notice that when Republicans started treating him as the likely nominee, and McCain and Bush started taking a few shots, Obama fought back quickly and quite effectively. (The dust up over al Qaeda in Iraq last week comes to mind.) There didn’t seem to be any hesitation at all.

With this in mind, the problem isn’t necessarily that Obama is reluctant to get aggressive, it’s that he’s reluctant to get aggressive with his Democratic rival.

To be sure, Obama hasn’t exactly been playing bean-bag with Clinton, but I think it’s fair to say that Obama, especially since Super Tuesday, has been restrained in going after his Democratic rival. He had the luxury of doing so — he was winning and had less of an incentive to launch attacks. Clinton needed to catch up, so she became rather relentless. No big mystery here.

On this point, Dickerson argued that Obama has to be able to endure Clinton’s “kitchen-sink strategy,” because it’s only going to get worse. Republicans won’t hold back in the fall, and their unhinged attacks will be more belligerent than anything he’s seen from Clinton. Clinton’s attacks, the theory goes, are a test of sorts — either they’ll “toughen him up” or he’ll fail before it’s too late. If he can’t take it in March, October will be a nightmare.

But just how similar are the circumstances? Jonathan Chait makes a compelling case.

[H]er attacks on Obama are not a fair proxy for what he’d endure in the general election, because attacks are harder to refute when they come from within one’s own party. Indeed, Clinton is saying almost exactly the same things about Obama that McCain is: He’s inexperienced, lacking in substance, unequipped to handle foreign policy. As The Washington Monthly’s Christina Larson has pointed out, in recent weeks the nightly newscasts have consisted of Clinton attacking Obama, McCain attacking Obama, and then Obama trying to defend himself and still get out his own message. If Obama’s the nominee, he won’t have a high-profile Democrat validating McCain’s message every day.

Second, Obama can’t “test” Clinton the way she can test him. While she likes to claim that she beat the Republican attack machine, it’s more accurate to say that she survived with heavy damage. Clinton is a wildly polarizing figure, with disapproval ratings at or near 50 percent. But, because she earned the intense loyalty of core Democratic partisans, Obama has to tread gingerly around her vulnerabilities. There is a big bundle of ethical issues from the 1990s that Obama has not raised because he can’t associate himself with what partisan Democrats (but not Republicans or swing voters) regard as a pure GOP witch hunt.

There’s no reason to think that dynamic will be at all similar in the fall. Obama’s willingness to be confrontational with Republicans seems quite healthy, and I haven’t seen any serious suggestion he’d play patty-cakes with McCain while the Republican Smear Machine is punching him in the mouth. Indeed, the dynamic may very well prove to be the opposite — the GOP will go after Clinton on issues Obama is afraid to touch, meaning she’d have to endure attacks for the first time.

Maybe Obama will effectively engage Clinton in the coming weeks, maybe not. Time will tell. But either way, looking at this as a proxy for what might happen to Obama in the fall seems like a mistake.

Powers should be fired, but it's okay for the Clinton campaign to call Sen. Obama names? Why doesn't HRC ask Wolfson to quit? (I thought the Dems think Ken Starr was synonmous with Monster, so what am I missing here?)

BTW, why aren't you calling her out on her so-called experience claims.

Sure she has experience - experience in scandals, secretive behavior, down and dirty gutter campaign tactics, missing files, oh the list goes on.

These Clinton supporters are right in asking Obama to fire his aide for name calling. Obama must take a stand against the nasty politics involved in smearing your opponent's image. He should not do that to a fellow Democrat.

Given that, Hillary had better start handing out pink slips to mostly all of her aides and advisors. Oh, and I wonder why Hillary's friends in Congress didn't display any anger at Hillary's deep praise of John McCain's experience.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I'm glad Ms. Powers resigned. Obama is an amazing diplomat and comments like that -- no matter how hypocritical it may seem for Hillary Clinton backers to condemn them, considering Hillary's inability to speak with civility -- are absolutely beneath the Obama campaign.

We count on the other candidates in this race for lowbrow political statements.

Perhaps taking the high road is something some see as weak, but in terms of capacity toward International Diplomacy, it is vital to be a fighter in spirit while weighing the words that cross your lips carefully.

Barack Obama will win this nomination based on his appeal to our better angels.

That is the same reason he will be a phenomenal President. He will continue to inspire and uplift his supporters.

I thought her resignation letter was very classy (although I'm not excusing her word choice).

I would be less than honest if I didn't say that I've thought a few choice things about Hillary Clinton. Of course Power should have been more careful with the reporter.

I'm sure a lot of you Clinton supporters have thought choice thoughts about Obama too. Its the nature of the beast when one is in a highly charged environment.

Its really too bad all the way around and I do wish Power well for all her service to the Obama campaign.

You are just scratching the surface. I can't believe that the American public can be so easily led by the nose when it comes to Hillary. I used to be a military man and I wouldn't trust her for a second with our nations security. Most presidents that turn out to be good leaders have the help of a crack staff that they can rely on. She can't even keep her goons in check in a presidential campaign! She really needs to have her feet held to the fire on this and the MSM seems so squeamish when it comes down to "VETTING" her. I have a friend in town that is a big GOP supporter and I told him to save me a huge McCain sign for my lawn just in case she wins the nomination.

They have been calling names and telling lies from the start. His camp is the one that started the race issue. She has done more for the black community than he has. But because he is black he is getting their vote...so is race a issue...I think so. He doesn't have the knowledge of experience to do the job, but because he's black they vote for him. I vote for the best candidate no matter what. And yes I have voted for a black candidate in the past and will again when they are right for the job.

Carly "Hussein," Iowa — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:08:26 GMT

Yeah, it may not be PC, but I’d have to agree on the whole “Hillary is a monster” thing. I am newly outraged by her disgusting tactics Every.Single.Day. I mean seriously, the crap she’s getting away with is LAUGHABLE.

Where’s the hypocrisy meter when you need one? The stupid Canadian NAFTA issue that Hillary HARPED and HARPED on prior to March 4 was her stupid scandal to begin with and she has the gall to criticize Obama for negative attacks?

After her “shame on you Barack Obama” hypocrisy a few weeks ago (criticizing him for an omission on his mailer when she’d mailed out outright lies about him in states prior)?

I vowed never to vote for her after she began spewing the crap about seating the FL and MI delegates, and then my vow was renewed when Bill Clinton tried to minimize Obama’s victory in SC by comparing him to Jesse Jackson (oh yeah, because they’re both black).

These latest rounds of FILTH are reasons anew to never cast a ballot in her favor. Fortunately for me, that won’t be an issue since she can’t win now anyway. The only thing she can do is selfishly ruin the party and tarnish Obama’s hard-earned and well-deserved image as an inspiring uniter who’s dedicated to taking us in a new direction.

Hillary, the self-serving monster. I’m sorry for Stephanie Powers, who should have had more restraint than she did, but you can’t say she was wrong.

It's perfectly fine for Wolfson to say Obama is Ken Starr, for Hillary to say McCain is a better candidate than Obama, and for Bob Kerrey to refer to Obama as "Hussein" and say he was schooled in a madrassa. But one unpaid Obama campaign advisor calls Hillary a "monster," and she MUST resign/be fired immediately. This is so utterly and laughably ridiculous. But the media continues to allow a double standard, having been beaten into submission by Hillary and her SNL cronies. Silly season, indeed.

BUT I will point out that when those faux pas have come from the Clinton camp, the cry has gone up through the Obama supporters that it was a plan by the Clinton campaign, and that person was "sacrificed" to say something the campaign couldn't say. SO, Obamaites, it that what happened here?

But ONE negative statement comes from Obama's campaign, they IMMEDIATELY apologize, and we get this ridiculousness from congress. sad. ridiculous. pathetic. shameful.

Further, this was a statement of a sentiment that a lot of us are feeling, albeit not politically correct.

Hillary would rip the party and the country apart, and deny the Democrats the presidency if she doesn't win the nomination...and she will lie and cheat and do ANYTHING to do it... What would you call that behavior?

George, Dallas, Texas — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:14:43 GMT

The Clintons should fire their guy who called Obama Ken Starr. I admire Ms. Power for her courageous action. It was difficult for her to resign, but she had to do so because of what Senator Barack Obama represents. Obama is a class-act individual who will bring sanity to the presidency. However, Obama should be tougher now; it is imperative for him to show toughness and not concede any grounds to the Clintons on issues. He is more believable than the Clintons and he should sharpen his message. Demanding for the Clintons to release their tax returns is legitimate. Obama should continue to demand that. The Clintons should not wait till April 15th to release the tax returns unless they are hiding something. Prince George

Samantha Power has resigned. Now let's shift the focus on what caused a comment such as this to be made in the first place. In the past week, Hillary has aligned herself with John McCain making it very clear that if she doesn't win the nomination, she'd rather see the democratic party go up in smoke before Obama gets the nomination. It came out that it was the Clinton campaign that gave the nod and wink to the Canadians about NAFTA. Obama was compared to Ken Starr because he dared to reiterate a request for her tax returns.

Are these monstrous acts? I guess we'll have to wait until the convention to see if Hillary has managed to lay waste to the democratic party in her bid for the nomination.

Nobody belly-ached when her people played the race card. But once again, MSNBC, FOX, CNN - all of the major networks are forsaking journalism for gossip and it just stinks. I have to think of Bill Clinton sitting back in his chair with a cigar and saying in his voice, "See, Hillary - I told you, let me show you how to do this, it's all working out.

Obama backers are all over the internet news boards calling for the same level of coverage be given to the Clinton campaigns role in the Canadian Nafta-gate issue...but there is nothing to be found without a lot of hefty digging.

Perhaps this is why Billary does not wish to release those tax returns, as they may very well show huge income from stock ownership in of all the major media outlets.

That would at least explain how they have been able to use the media as one big FALSE ad campaign and at the same time, explain their unchallenged ability to squelch any story that would prove such.

People, the Clintons are royalty, don't you know. They are better than us average peasants. It is Hillary's god given right to be President. So to hell with who has won the most states, who has the delegate lead, and who is leading in the popular vote.

Just give her the damn Presidency you minions.

Hillary's new Strategy.

Hillary knows she won't win this nomination and is now looking forward to 2012 against sitting president McCain. She will damage Barack and the democratic party so badly that the party may lose the general election this year.
