Washington Post: Clinton Aide's New Role Looks To Some Like The Old One

[kansas1946]

The idea behind NAFTA and related legislature was to offer competitive pricing at a global level. Imagine being able to buy prescription medication at the price they pay in Canada & Mexico.
************************************************

Really?? We have had NAFTA since Bill was in office and I haven''t noticed us being able to buy drugs at the same price they do in Canada or Mexico. In fact, the government has done everything in their power, short of raiding elderly people''s homes to keep Americans from getting drugs from Canada, and you can get arrested in Texas for getting prescriptions filled in Mexico.

Astonishing ! I give up !!! You OBAMITES win !! When John McCain takes the oath of office, you''''ll have no one to blame but yourselves. INDEPENDENTS will not vote for OBAMA ..... PERIOD! TiredoftheBS

I am an independent and I am voting for Obama. I have a number of friends and family that are independents and they are voting for Obama. So where are you getting your information?

This one''s for you, Oldtimer331:

All the pressure to get Senator Clinton to drop out of the election prematurely is motivated by fear. Old white men apparently fear white women more than they fear black men. Racism may be fading in America, but gender bigotry is as virulent as ever.
Let this election run to the finish and let the convention do what they are designed to do. Neither candidate can win BEFORE the convention.

Senator Obama has run a brilliant campaign and that is a large number of people to command.

Senator Clinton''s campaign has been one disaster after another. If she can''t lead 1000 people, then how can she expect to lead 300 million

Really. This is about my 13th Presidential Campaign, yes, 13 since age 21. This is the first that I''ve ever experienced where there was a distinct feeling of nervousnous brought about by a very unstable female candidate. She absolutely cannot keep her emotions under control. This is not good. You can''t come to a Foreign Relations table and cry because you didn''t get your way. You can''t break down when you recall loss of a famous person. Both are an inexcusable expression of weakness. You can''t keep reaching-out and trying to scratch and hurt somebody like a cat. You must maintain your composure. You will say I am anti-feminist. Not so, I would cast my vote in a minute for Nancy Pelosi. Such a remarkable woman standing-up day after day fighting against the wrong-doing of the House minority and the current Administration. Had Nancy run, most certainly it would''ve been a very tight contest. I become very concerned when people pledge their vote for Hillary. She is not only a danger to the Country, but she is a danger to herself. I firmly it is time for she and Billy to go to Arkansas and spend all that money they have. They are very synical for speaking before the poor and unemployed. Very heartless and shameful

Vote for Obama - the better choice for our future.

That having been said ....... It''s amazing to see the hostility towards free trade in these posts. As if the government were to blame for huge corporations outsourcing jobs to foreign countries. The idea behind NAFTA and related legislature was to offer competitive pricing at a global level. Imagine being able to buy prescription medication at the price they pay in Canada & Mexico.

Hillary will never win , the superdelegates will ultimately cement Obama''s nomination.. Currently Hillary leads among superdelegates, but almost all jumped on board a long time ago when it seemed her nomination was inevitable. Since Super Tuesday Obama has gained 69 superdelegates while Clinton has lost two.

The reason even more superdelegates haven''t declared for Obama is because Clinton is expected to win Pennsylvania. A superdelegate endorsement now risks having their endorsement seem worthless when Obama likely loses PA. So most are probably waiting until after PA votes, so they can endorse Obama in the lead up to North Carolina, a state he will win big, and thus have their endorsements look that much better.

The majority of remaining undecided superdelegates will either endorse after PA and prior to NC or in June after the last vote is cast, and expect virtually all to vote for Obama.

In the end, Clinton won''t even be left with the 251 superdelegates she has now. Many of those 251 are Clinton loyalists and won''t switch to Obama publicly, but they are politicians, who put their own career first and will get in line with everyone else.

Sure Clinton will hold on to 50-100 of her loyalists until the bitter end, but any fantasy that this thing will be a close finish is just that, a fantasy.

We must STOP free trade NOW!

We CANNOT allow peaceful Americans to voluntarily exchange goods and services for mutual benefit!

Americans should only be allowed to buy the goods and services that the politicians allow them to buy.

At government approved prices.

Of course, if its not good for you, Americans should not be allowed to buy it at all.

Trans fats? No way.

Cigarettes and alcohol? Not a chance.

Obesity-inducing fast food? Forget it.

Trust me, people. The Nanny State knows what is best for you.

Let us take away the heavy burden of decision-making in your life.

Let us decide what is best for you.

I''''m Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

Ok I know Obama doesn''''t like to go negative, but if he doesn''''t hit Clinton on this Mark Penn situation he is a fool. Clinton saying that Penn has resigned under pressure and then still using him as an adviser and pollster is typical Clinton hypocrosy. This is an example of the kind of Washington politics that Obama claims to be against, "conflicts of interest all over the place", as the article states. Come on Obama this is your opportunity to put Clinton away for good and get on with the general election against McSame.

Who the hell do you think posed this krap? Obama did!

He does this whizzing in the wind stuff to distract from his own incompetence.

David Axelrod, his own public relations advisor still takes money of the corrupt Richard Daly regime in Chicago, and still represents his oil interests.lol

Talk about the pot stirring the black kettle!
