Doesn't calling a black man a "boy" speak for itself?
freeduck there will be little change in the first 4 years of either Hill or Obamas presidency.... you can't scratch the surface of the fixes necessary to undo the damage bush has done... and as much of the change and hope Obama is talking about is just rhetoric just like any other political candidate.. I don't dislike the guy... I just like Hillary better. I think some of the cotton candy veneer will be wearing off Obama publicly, and it already is matter of fact.
And on top of that, I'm not really that interested any more.... as I stated a couple of pages back. It's the supporters that I'm finding fascinating to watch.
And here I thought the end of bush would leave a big comedy void..... how silly of me.

Well some of us supported and still do support what's under that "cotton candy veneer". While I agree that there is a lot of work to do to undo Bush's damage, I think that Obama is more likely to tackle them. I think Hillary is to beholden to special interests and will be loathe to give up any presidential power. I disagree that the change he promises is "just rhetoric" though of course we all have to accept that a campaign is a campaign (which by the way also goes for Hillary, who wants us to believe that her speeches are solutions while his speeches are just speeches) and speeches and proposals are all that CAN be offered at this point.
But what's her position on the consolidation of presidential powers? What's she going to do about that besides use it her own advantage?
Yes, the supporters are fascinating, including yourself.

AP Quotes Congressman Ripping Obama -- But Leaves Out a Lot
By E&P Staff and The Associated Press
Published: March 08, 2008 11:05 AM ET
The Associated Press reports today that an Iowa Republican congressman said Friday that terrorists would be "dancing in the streets" if Democratic candidate Barack Obama were to win the presidency.
Rep. Steve King based his prediction on Obama's pledge to pull troops out of Iraq, his Kenyan heritage and his middle name, Hussein.
"The radical Islamists, the al-Qaida ... would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror," King said in an interview with the Daily Reporter in Spencer.
King said his comments were not meant to demean Obama but to warn how an Obama presidency would look to the world.
"His middle name does matter," King said. "It matters because they read a meaning into that."
In criticizing King, Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said, "These comments have no place in our politics." He called on John McCain, the apparent Republican nominee, to "repudiate them like he has previous offensive comments from his supporters."
Last month, McCain denounced an introduction from Cincinnati talk-show host Bill Cunningham, who referred to Obama three times as "Barack Hussein Obama."
But the Associated Press account underplays the true inflammatory nature of the attacks, as carried by the same local paper, which reported it as follows.
*
"I don't want to disparage anyone because of their race, their ethnicity, their name - whatever their religion their father might have been," he said. "I'll just say this: When you think about the option of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected President of the United States -- I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does it look like to the world of Islam?"
He continued: "I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this War on Terror."
King thinks radical Islamists will say the United States has capitulated because the Obama administration would be pulling troops out of any conflict associated with al-Qaida.
"Additionally, his middle name (Hussein) does matter," King said. "It matters because they read a meaning into that in the rest of the world. That has a special meaning to them. They will be dancing in the streets because of his middle name. They will be dancing in the streets because of who his father was and because of his posture that says: Pull out of the Middle East and pull out of this conflict."

Quote:Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province.
"I don't know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around," he said. Her recent statements about being deeply involved were merely "the sort of thing people put in their canvassing leaflets" during elections. "She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don't want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."
Mrs Clinton has made Northern Ireland key to her claims of having extensive foreign policy experience, which helped her defeat Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday after she presented herself as being ready to tackle foreign policy crises at 3am.
"I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland," she told CNN on Wednesday. But negotiators from the parties that helped broker the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 told The Daily Telegraph that her role was peripheral and that she played no part in the gruelling political talks over the years.

I just saw that same article at the "telegraph" website.
I cant help but wonder why she likes to claim credit for things that the whole world knows she had nothing to do with.
freeduck I've always been a fascinating individual.... as have you :wink:
This is priceless...
The girl used in Hillarys "3AM" ad is NOT a Hillary supporter, she will be voting for Obama.
The shots of her sleeping are stock footage from 8 years ago, when she worked as a TV extra - footage owned now by Getty Images and used by the Clinton campaign.

I wonder if Hillary knows about this?

That makes perfect sense, Freeduck. You must be some kind of wacko Obama cultist to say such reasonable things!
Can't talk now, I'm lighting incense and praying to the Goddess of Elections for victory for my savior.

Goddess? are you a sexist or something?

LOL - that's why she always wears trousers! However - Vogue isn't on your reading list, I take it, or you'd know their fashion experts observed that wearing trousers is a mistake for anyone with wall-to-wall hips
High Seas, from the viewpoint of a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, who would you prefer to see up against Mr McCain?
(I trust I do not overstep the mark of propriety in my description)
Pro-Clinton propaganda is getting to be a big joke.
The very article ehBeth linked to, that claims that it is Obama (not Clinton) who is getting "kid-glove" treatment, then goes and repeats the Canada-Nafta story that has been debunked.
This article was published on 3/7 ... well after the Canada-Nafta slur was disproven... yet this article insists on repeating it.
An incorrect slur on Obama in the middle of a article claiming the press is easy on Obama.
How ironic is this?
