Clinton Tells Vocal Obama Supporters: “I’ll Work My Heart Out For Him”
(CBS)
RALEIGH, N.C. -- During the annual North Carolina Democratic Party's Jefferson Jackson Dinner tonight, Hillary Clinton said she will not only back Barack Obama if he is the party’s nominee, she will work hard for him.
“If Senator Obama is the nominee, you better believe I’ll work my heart out for him,” Clinton said.
The comment seemed to backfire, as the large Obama presence began chanting his name, "causing Clinton to pause and try to regain control of the podium and talk over the chants.
She immediately followed up saying if she is the nominee, Obama “will do the very same for me.” It is unclear if that line was part of her original speech or if she used it as a way to bounce back from the interruption.
The crowd of 5,200 people seemed relatively split between Clinton and Obama supporters, but Obama’s crowd was certainly more vocal. At one point Clinton thanked Gov. Mike Easley, D-N.C., for his recent endorsement, which drew loud jeers from the Obama section. The "boos" went on long enough for Clinton to, again, have to pause. She said, “One of the great things about our country, you can support whoever you want to support, that’s the way America works best,” which drew loud cheers from her supporters.
This has been one of the most audibly divided Jefferson-Jackson Dinners to date. The fund-raising dinners are held annually by the Democratic Party of each state, but in previous ones, the crowds have been slightly more respectful of each candidate.
Clinton spoke broadly of the differences between Democrats and Republicans in the coming election. She reassured the crowd that if she is elected, she will not back down to a fight. "I am no shrinking violet. When I say I will stand up for you I will stand up for you!"

America needs Obama
Obama the politics of hope does nixon style smear jobs. Problem was the fake was obvious.
Paul is a con! They''ve already thrown his case out and will again. They had to throw his tape out because it had voice overs on it! It''s a frivilous lawsuit! And not worth the paper it''s written on.

No they didn''t. It was voiced over! They''ve already thrown that krap out too.
They''re reporting that the reaction to Obama was "thunderous" in comparison to Clinton and that he received a standing ovation from EVERYONE at the end of his speech calling for unity.
You would think from this slanted article that:1) the crowd was equally divided(***!) and that the Obama supporters were just louder and not more numerous, and, 2) that Hillary was the only one calling for unity.
Both called for unity, but judging by the reaction of those in attendance Obama has more credibility in that area.
The one thing he got right was that easley was booed, as well he should be by North Carolina Democrats!
Obama, he will support his freakoid anti-American friends.
A trial is expected in October, just in time for the Presidentil election.
Gracious just like she always is!
Most Obama honkers are flat out nasty!

BS she is not even a defendant on the case anymore! Her name has been removed!
OBAMA can''t change CHICAGO POLITICS.
OBAMA CAN''T CHANGE REZKO CORRUPTION.
OBAMA CAN''T CHANGE REV WRIGHT
HE HASN''T CHANGE ANYTHING BUT PRETEND TO BE GOD AND SEND OUT INSPIRATION THAT IS BEYOND VERIFICATION.
HE IS RUNNING CULT-LIKE AND COMMUNIST-LIKE CAMPAIGN ASKING PARTY TO DICTATE over people''s will.
Millions of voters in Florida and Michigan are crying foul. His plan is to push out Hillary before allowing revote which then means nothing.
He ducks debates and challenges and is just verbose.
It takes less than 3 sentences for Hillary to brush aside Joe Andrew.
It has taken him more than months to deal with Rev. Wright.
That spells ''INCOMPETENT'' at large.
Obama campaign and the party put out an act trying to fool voters.
Are you inspired? No, I am disgusted.

Hillary is slated to give a deposition in the case, but the date of that has been moved to AFTER the elections. The reason why is her answers will pertain to whether a grand jury investigation will open up on HER concerning campaign fraud in her Senatorial run. Hillary has a problem. She is an obsessive liar and in this case she is caught on video and on tape doing something that makes her look complicit in campaign fraud. First it takes her sworn deposition in the Rosen case and makes her look like she lied. Second of all, if she did not lie, then the new info will have to be investigated because it looks like she was involved in raising soft money over the limits allowed by 1000% The issue of Bill is a sideshow--the big fish is Hillary and any info on this could bring her down like it did DeLay. So the Judge postponed it--but it is still lurking and it will not go away unless she becomes President and can squash it.

Liar.That part was not thrown out. Instead it was said that he was talking about the pollsters being *** not the voters from Indiana.
The fact is, there was no voice over when he saw the numbers and said who cares about them, they are ***--being that is a consistent Red state. On the other hand, I heard nothing in the part he whispered to Stephanapoulous that sounded like the slurs everyone claims he said. Whatever he said may have been pretty nasty since he felt he had to whisper it, but it really sounded like the last word was "house" and nothing like white ni66ers. I don''t think he said that--but he did call Hoosiers ****** and now in best Clinton fashion, is trying to put the best spin on the video by lying it up.

yeah. We can see how she supports people with what she has done for NY and with CAFTA and NAFTA. The fact is, Hillary SHOULD work her heart out for Obama, after all the evil she did to bring him down. LOL
It has taken him more than months to deal with Rev. Wright.

Of course Hillary can brush off anything with a few sentences. She kept brushing off the Bosnia video with more lies and more lies until the media rammed it up her arse. She is a pathological liar and a sociopath--they can brush anything off.
As for incompetence--Hillary is a deadbeat who spends donated public money lavishly and recklessly. That is what she does with about 180 million (and it is all gone) Heaven help what she''ll do with the American budget. WE''ve had Bush, we don''t need another pathological, bloodthirsty, lying shopoholic.
If anyone doctored these tapes, IF, they were even doctored because the thousands of people that saw them clearly saw and heard Kantor say "####" Not only that, but Kantor turns to the camera and gives one of these cutsey oops "sorry". So, it was not doctored, the Clinton Campaign was just enjoying a joke at Indiana''s expense.. As to whatever else was said, the other tape had already been taken down and less than one hour later Clinton managed to get both tapes off...how''s that for friends in high places. Fortunately, many people in Indiana saw the tape, saw the "we''re so good" attitude of Carville and Kantor and know that it was a true tape. Whatever spin the Clintonites will put on it is the same ole story....yell, deny, cry foul, blame, point fingers....Clinton couldn''t do anything about Bosnia because the tape was from the news media...otherwise her fans would have also accused the Obama campaign of doctoring that tape.

Any way it goes- good f-ing riddance of this lying sleazy family---until Chelsea starts running. She already has shown "Clinton promise" - just like mommy dearest.

I am sick and tired of the media spewing hate in their writings and as they report the news. The same man in Chicago name Rezo did fund raisers for President Bush and the Clintons but the media never reported any of this to the people. We have a double standard, blacks must denounce and denounce their leaders but all others could denonuce and very next second be invited to the White House like the late Rev. Jerry Falwell. Pat Robertson and John Hagee can say and do what they want and the media has never batted an eye. I have never heard anyone ask the Catholics to leave their church and they certainly have paid out billions of dollars for acts done by the priests. We have a double standard in America. Rev. Wright semons should have never been ran as a loot and played over and over again. I will not stand idle and allow the media to define our black leaders. I am calling on a boycott of Fox News. We will not support their sponsors from this day forth. This is how you get Sean and rest of his gang off the air. Tell all of your friends to stop watching Fox and not to support the show''s sponsors.
Is this a possible future president - NO!
politician Obama have shoven no
class
What is more crazy here...that it is not in the news, or that the Clintons could make history, and a mockery of the Presidency. President Hillary could hand out her first presidential pardon to Bill! Wonder how much she will charge him for that?
Does anyone care that the Clinton V. Paul trial will start soon? Judge Munoz has allowed Hillary to testify after November...
--------------
AFTER the elections?!?!?
How CONVEEEEEENIENT...for THE CLINTONS!!!
She''s the one behind the Rev. Wright controversy. While her Bosnia "under sniper fire" lies are being TOTALLY IGNORED.
Support Obama? Maybe she MISSPOKE.
Democrats lie.
Then they call EVERYONE ELSE a liar.
It''s called PROJECTION. Look it up.
End of story.
Bill Clinton: born 1946
George W Bush: born 1946
John McCain: born 1936
Do we want ANOTHER BABY BOOMER?
Or do we want JOHN MCCAIN?
It''s really THAT SIMPLE.
Senator McCain spent almost 6 years as a POW...
---------------
You can''t compare McCain''s military record to the other candidates'' record.
Because THEY HAVE NONE.
The only ones who want war are those who have NEVER BEEN IN ONE.
If you want war, VOTE FOR HILLARY.
When a Republican is caught in a scandal, here''s the game plan: Deny it, defend yourself, distance yourself, when it becomes overwhelming against you, resign.
Here''s the Deomocrat game plan: Deny it, make a blubbery public confession, wallow in it, cover yourself in it like mud on a pig, declare there was nothing wrong with it, act like you''re proud of it, attack those who investigate you, refuse to accept any punishment, walk away scot free, win the adulation and admiration of all Democrats who envy your sleaziness.
So you see, the CLINTONS are Democrats. OBAMA is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
The Race Speech revisited.
By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, May 2, 2008; Page A21
"I can no more disown him [Jeremiah Wright] than I can disown my white grandmother."
-- Barack Obama, Philadelphia, March 18
Guess it''s time to disown Granny, if Obama''s famous Philadelphia "race" speech is to be believed.
HILLARY WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!
if Obama''''s famous Philadelphia "race" speech is to be believed.
--------------
Oh, right - OBAMA is the one you don''t believe...
But Hillary can LIE, LIE, LIE and you still support her???
HILLARY WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!
----------------
A true Hillary fanatic, thinks the Evil Queen is STILL WINNING! LOL!
Yah, that''s right Hillary is still winning. She''s winning SO MUCH that you don''t even need to vote.
Yes, that''s right, MAKE A STATEMENT! Prove HOW FAR AHEAD Hillary is by STAYING HOME on Election Day. Just sit in front of the TV and watch the polls roll in - and HAVE FAITH that she''ll win. Prove that you have SO MUCH CONFIDENCE in Hillary that you BELIEVE SHE''LL WIN even if you don''t vote.
Even if she starts to fall behind, THAT WILL BE THE TRUE TEST OF YOUR FAITH. If you rush out and vote, you''ll be BREAKING THE FAITH. Just feel confident that she''ll come from behind at the end, and sometime past midnight, she''ll emerge the victor.
That''ll show ''em!!
Specifically, it fails to mention that Senator Obama when he spoke said virtually the identical thing, pledging to support Senator Clinton if she is the nominee. This is huge because it is the first time in weeks that Senator Obama has conceded that it is still possible that Senator Clinton could win the nomination, which undercuts all of his supporters (starting with Patrick Leahy) who have been suggesting that Senator Clinton should drop out of the race.
But why report something of substance when you can report catcalls instead?
