Obama Takes Clinton to TaskPosted on Oct 31, 2007
No doubt aware of his need to snap into clearer focus as a candidate after months of relatively hazy public performances, Barack Obama issued a sharp critique of rival Hillary Clinton following Tuesday night’s Democratic debate in Philadelphia.

So - what clear answers has Obama given to any question?
Wow - he really took on Hillary the other night - she is still reeling and the whole nation is aghast and impressed. Not! Repeat, not , in spite of what would-be journalists might report!
No doubt that Obama is a good rehetorician, but has anyone noticed that he has never come up with any plan - his goal is to try to shoot down anyone else’s plans.
Has anyone checked his record as a US Senator? Has he ever opposed the Bush administration - except after the fact when he wasn’t there? “If I were there there I wouldn’t have voted ... etc.”
What was his record as an Illinois Senator? Oh, we have heard many times how he voted against the invasion of Iraq - wow, so did many others. The sad thing is that his vote didn’t count at the federal level.
On the other hand, Hillary single handedly led the Bushies into Iraq and will also lead them into Iran. What power! And she is a woman!
Maybe he will eventually become what he thinks he might be - sure hope so.

Apparently, as hate and personal attacks have worked so very well for the Republican Party, the trailing in the polls Democrats, have decided that is the route to take. The media, of course, have to stir up as much negativity as possible, because things going well, is just another way to say “boring” from their perspective. The sad part is, that after the dust settles, and Hillary has won the nomination, the losers will all want to kiss and make up and forget all they said, but the Republicans will be using their words from that debate, to attack Hillary where it matters, in the general election. Way to go assholes!!!

If she has to defend the Bill Clinton Whitehouse when she releases her papers then maybe she should repeatedly explain that the last 6 years of Bill’s presidency were spent with Republicans controlling Congress. That being said, she could make the case that instead of succumbing to partisan politics they became more centrist in order to get legislation passed. And since the the majority in Congress is now Democrat she should have no problem passing legislation that focuses on her party’s issues.

Honestly, do democrats really belive that Hillary has a chance of winning any red states in the national election? No doubt she would make a good president but lets get real, we need to have an Obama/Edwards ticket (or visa versa) to have a chance of defeating the fear-mongering machine that is the GOP. I can see the ads even now: “Would you trust Hillary if/when we are attacked again?” She has too much political baggage to survive the attacks being dreamt up as we speek. And all it takes is some “swift-boating” to dupe our well-intentioned but feable-minded masses to vote for Rudy. If that happens, I’m moving to Canada!

Quote: “Her big answer on whether she would release the papers from her White House years was particularly troubling because she is running on her record as first lady as much as on her record as a senator…”
I said she would have trouble continuing to justify Bill’s presidency as well as her own candidacy. Trading on his past popularity is one thing that is now clearly becoming odious as Bill hogs the limelight every chance he gets.
Hillary has to remind him that she is her own person since she became a senator if she still wants to go forwards. If she is going to be Bill’s apologist in order to cover over the past, she has problems ahead, uhh. He doesn’t need to be forgiven for screwing around .....or screwing up her chances!

Tim Russert once again gleefully going after a Democrat in way he never goes after Republicans made a more lasting impression with me.
