It''s time for the Billary''s to give it up. I believe they''d eat their young to get back into the whitehouse.

Why is it so hard for Barak supporters to recognize that there is a learning curve at getting the right change accomplished? Why is it so hard to see that Universal Health Care needs to follow the models of Social Security and Medicare and if you start out with a compromised position - like Barak%u2019s - then it is all the easier for the Republicans to chew it down. Shame on YOU Barak supporters! You value your desire to be inspired more than you value health Care for us all. Shame on YOU!

Hillary''s meltdown reminds me of that frustrated tirade the lady prosecutor in the famous "Kennedy rape trial" in Palm Beach spouted off. Does anyone remember that ? - " well Mr. Smith, what are you some kind of *** machine?!"...after the Kennedy clanboy calmly and cleverly explained his observations of that infamous night to the shrieking ,fist on hips, lady attorney that was clearly out of her league...that is not to say about all of our wonderfully professional lady lawyers today, but come on, she set the meter back on progress there one giant leap.
...kinda reminds me of this competition between a smooth talking, calm and collective pro with leadership qualities and the other... so out of her league.
- she''s starting to shriek now just as they said she will. heheh..."since when do democrats attack one another on healthcare ?"...indeed mz clinton, when ?

Do we really want to spend four years (or more) listening to a president who thumps papers (especially ones she''s seem before and had plenty of time to refer to in her smiley debates) and who shouts "Shame" on someone like some mean ole grand school teacher?

I know this was a run-on sentence. Well, shame on me then.

: - (

(PS - The contrast between Clinton and Obama''s health care plans - the subject of the "shame on you" meltdown of today - was already discussed on the last debate. So what gives?)

Ironic for Hillary Clinton to shame anyone. In order to shame someone you have to understand and appreciate what shame is. the Clinton''s are deviod of shame. Shame is not a part of their ethical, moral or cultural lexicon.

Attack! Attack! Distract! Distract! that is the Clinton stratedy. As for karl Rove- yeah he learned everything from them. it is time for change we don''t need these people to lead this country.

20 years of Clinton''s and Bush''s is enough. We''ve all had enough of this garbage.

What an incredible acting job on the part of Hillary Clinton. To pull out a political flier from weeks ago and make it out to be some big deal as if he had claimed she was the illegitimate daughter of *** Nixon or something. What does the flier actually say- not much.

It%u2019s not like he accused her of pimping her daughter in Wisconsin- which she did.

It''s not like he accused her brother of getting paid to get people pardoned by her husband- all of which happened.

It''s not like he blamed her and her husband, because she was at ever cabinet meeting, for selling out the working people of the United States through NAFTA and by offer most favored Nation status to China- which is exactly what they did. Out sourcing started under Clinton not Bush.

I have to say "the lady doth protest too much."

It is up to the forth estate to set the record straight if they have the guts to face the Clinton attack machine.

Obama says when he is president he will take the tax subsidies given to the oil and coal companies and use that money to invest in green technology, thereby creating jobs here in the US. BUT he fails to mention that in 2005 he voted YES for the Bush energy bill that is responsible for those very tax subsidies to the oil and coal companies.
Hillary voted NO!

Shame On You Barak Obama

***???

All those fliers are completely accurate.

Plus these fliers have been distributed for WEEKS now. NO WAY this was just brought to the attention of her campaign. The fact that she''s just getting worked up about them right now is COMPLETELY TACTICAL!
She knows that she is the one being viewed as having run a really shady campaign, and that it is costing her. She is now trying to turn the tables... and ironically, is using more shady tactics to do it. SHAME ON YOU HILLARY!

Obama''s plan relies competition and freedom of choice, supported a Health Care Insurance Exchange, a government plan, and a research and review structure to explore options and lower costs. Hillary''s plan is mandated so that people have to pay what it costs and accept what it gives, even if the costs are high and the options are not what''s desired. It is supported by the government being willing to garnish wages of those who do not come on board.

Obama''s plan is open. Though clearly delineated, it will be the product of negotiations that are open to the public and can be viewed on CSPAN. Hillary''s plan is closed. Like her holiday ad when she offered a grateful nation gifts from under her tree, this one is already wrapped and ready to go--on Day One. That''s what she means when she says she is about solutions: It''s a done deal. We don''t need to be patronized, especially by someone whose patrons include the drug and insurance companies that are already overcharging us.

As we can already see with other mandated insurance plans like no-fault insurance, prices go up, not down. Drug companies and insurance companies that have funded Hillary''s campaign could be the real winners if her plan were to go through.

Obama''s plan involves a process that makes it transitional, giving incentives that benefit health care providers, lowering their own insurance costs along with the cost of providing care. It benefits everyone.
