Comments on: Clinton Goes On Offense Against Obama

Washington Post: Losing Ground In Latest Iowa Poll, Clinton Mounts Aggressive Attack

[samthetvcat]

There seems to be a pattern emerging with the comments in support of Hillary . . . like they all seem to be from angry women who don''t feel respected by men and who don''t feel like they are being heard (?) Like maybe they identify with her since Bill wasn''t very respectful towards her in the sense that he cheated on her so many times . . .

So I''m curious to see whether Oprah''s campaigning will make some of her supporters feel like even though they identify with some of Hillary''s life experiences, that Obama has platforms that move them to want to support the causes he supports. Like Oprah''s not just a ''celebrity endorsement'' or someone with the power to pick books that will push them onto the best-seller list . . . she makes people feel heard and gives people hope and challenges people to strive for more. Obama''s running on a platform of improving education and healthcare, and paying down debt and trying new ideas . . . it''ll be easy for Oprah to get on stage and say that all the inspiration she''s been sharing with people on her show all these years (all the Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Suze Orman, Rachel Ray stuff) Obama will try to implement if he becomes president. This''ll be interesting to watch!

what a shame Barack raps hope and and ethics, while throwing mud since the last 3 months, breaking PAC rules, preaching no lobbyist funding while taking money from lobbyist during senate campaigns...offering money to early primary state campaigns...looking up old clinton videos to attack hillary while preaching to steer away from old politics.....WHAT A PHONY.....NOT WHAT AMERICA NEEDS COS ITS BEGINING TO SOUND TO ME LIKE A ONE-TIME TEXAS GOV. that promised change in washington but turned out to be the biggest Joke of all time....What the country needs is a tested group of smart people that will fight for America as always..

I think most everybody just hears the part about forcing everyone to get insurance because that''s all they want to hear.

You''re not listening to the part where she said she will make sure they''re regulated, so that they can''t drop you in the middle of coverage, provide less coverage, and so that it is affordable for all.

I think a sliding scale insurance plan would insure that everybody pays something.

I see to many young ones driving around in brand new cars, buying new clothes, carrying one or two cell phones, and yacking their head off while they drive down the road. Plus $50-$60 hair do''s every other week and a child on each hip with a different baby daddy for each who contributes NOTHING to their care.

All these kids are on food stamps, housing assistance, electric bill assistance, and NONE of them are applying for the Pale (sp?) Grants to get into a junior college and learn a skilled trade. It''s FREE!

I believe in giving them a helping hand...but there needs to be a limit on it.

Yep, that''s the one I remember too!

Plus, I remember he wrecked the state education tax system while he was down here. Gave everybody an exemption on state property tax, which meant the average homeowner got a $100 exemption and his buddies in their mansions got thousands. He was praised as a hero for this until everyone realized that local property tax would have to go up to cover it. This meant lots of small farmers and ranchers had to sell their properties to the developers.

Isn''t it strange how these guys can be lauded as heroes when in fact they''re nothing but shysters.

The teachers and state employees flat out told him he would not go to Washington unless they got a raise that year. So he gave them one, which was a pittance, like 2% or something, which they were already 15% behind salarywise. They hadn''t had a raise in about 10-15 years. They thought he was some kinda hero too. The fact was that in all those 10-15 years, I never missed a step in raises, because I always made sure that my work contribution deserved a merit raise. Everybody just thinks it should be handed to them.

That''s what apathy will let happen to you. When you don''t care enough to watch what they''re doing, you just get whatever scam they want to throw your way.

I used to adore Hilary Clinton; but her lack of proper rest has really brought out the white witch of her character.

Now we are getting more of a hint as to why Bill Clinton sought blow jobs elsewhere away from his bi-tch: His really fat cow is enduring endless hot flashes.

From the story: "character, challenging his integrity." Hillary doesn''t have mirrors I see.

Hillary''''s health "plan" is to force everyone to buy insurance?? Why is she running as a Democrat??

I was wondering the same thing. How do you force someone making 8 bucks an hour and barely paying rent to buy medical insurance? What is the penalty if they cant afford it and drop it. Lose of driving priviledges? Prison? I was interested in what she had to say until that foolishness came forth from her mouth. SO I waited on a genious plan to come out and it never did. SOOOO, I drew an X through her name because that tells me she is out of touch with reality. Thompsons is a good actor but, would be lousy President-X through his name- Obama Maybe in 2016 or sometime in the future when he has garnered more experience. Not crossing him out yet though-Ron Paul_Still listening to him also.. Guilani I cant spell his name.. sooo *** him out.. Besides all I can remember him doing is taking great pictures during 911 Nothing else.

"2. He is a total hypocrite on lobbyists. His efforts in support of Illinois lobbyists have cost US taxpayers $12 million (so far)."

The true question is whether he did this out of self-interest or because it furthered the interests of the public at large. He only got $1,100 worth of sponsorship wee AFTER the fact from only ONE of the two companies. He got nothing from the other.

According to another ''expose'' at www.townhall.com (from the right!), they found:

"But while in the state legislature, Obama was a relatively small fish when it came to Illinois political money. He usually got donations of a few hundred dollars or maybe $1,000 in a state where interest groups routinely give key officials tens of thousands of dollars at a time."

"Obama helped pass two of the toughest ethics laws in Illinois history, and both of them attempted to reduce the influence of lobbyists. Obama also co-sponsored a 2003 law that, among other things, barred lobbyists from serving on government boards and commissions and further tightened the restrictions on gifts to legislators.

"After his election to the U.S. Senate, Obama was a leader in the successful effort to strengthen federal ethics laws. Lawmakers now have to disclose the names of lobbyists who raise money for them by "bundling" donations from many people. They also have to disclose special projects they try to add to the budget."

She''s a spousal doormat and coattail rider with too much baggage, who''s never been in charge of anything big in her entire life.
