Bill Clinton gave us the best economy since WWII and Greenspan was there.
George W. Bush has given us the worst economy since WWII and Greenspan is not there.
Maybe the economic destruction has come from Bush and not Greenspan.
they would have used it against her when she ran for the senate in ny.
the real threat is obama. the media is so in love with him they don't print anything negative.
just wait if he gets the nomination and when the rezko trial starts.
you ain't seen nothing yet.
the hemorrhaging of jobs and deficits began under bush.
bill clinton left us the first surplus and the one of the lowest unemployment rates in decades.
that mentions Obamas name lol well as long as it's not negative.
I don't see an article on indicted Governor Anibal Acevedo Vila of Puerto Rico, one of Obama's superdelegates.
indicted governor Anibal Acevedo Vila
indicted "businessman" Tony Rezko
governor Rod Blagojevich
and what juicy stories they will make for the right wing since the media would rather report that obama is related to brad pitt and hillary is related to angelina jolie.
Spitzer got caught up in a prostitution scandal which in no way connects to Hillary.
We have yet to see what the details of Vila are.
As for Rezko and Blagojevich, they have direct connections to Obama.
Hillary Clinton owned up to her mistake regarding Bosnia, which let's face it, is tantamount to exaggerating on a resume. She is now paying the price with a drop in the polls which I would argue is temporary.
Obama is still trying to have it both ways with Rev. "god damn america" Wright. He disagrees with what the good reverend has said on several occasions (the white church is satan, the government created AIDS, america is responsible for 911, etc.) but not enough to leave his church evidently.
Democrats may not think it's an issue but Independents and Republicans do.
Since Obama refuses to quit that church, this will remain a potent weapon for the right wing.
The new survey was released as new information came to light about Obama's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, which Obama attended for two decades.
A Christian publication called Baptist Messenger reported that the church published a pro-Hamas, anti-Israel opinion article in a church bulletin in July.
It said the church republished the article from The Los Angeles Times. In the article, an official from the Palestinian group Hamas defended the group's refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist.
Baptist Messenger said the column was posted on Wright's "Pastor's Page."
In addition, Trumpet Newsmagazine, of which Wright is the chief executive officer, published an article written by Wright in which he described the crucifixion of Jesus as "public lynching Italian style."
"(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him," Wright wrote in a eulogy of the late scholar Asa Hilliard in the November/December 2007 issue, according to CNSNews.com. "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."
Obama was asked about the latest information about Wright during a CNBC interview.
"I've, I think, talked thoroughly about, you know, the issue with Rev. Wright. And, you know, everybody, I think, who examines the church that I attend knows that it is a very traditional, conventional church," he said.

So the Obama/Wright duo have offended gays, jews, and now italians. Who's next, hispanics or women?
How long will Democrats allow this to go on?
Until Obama/Wright alienate the entire country?

comments like these from michelle obama and rev. "god damn america" wright are hurting the democrats chances in november.
obama goes on and on about his long and close relationship with rev. "god damn america" wright and how he could no more "disown him" than his own grandmother.
yet he has no problem disowning the good reverends racist and divisive comments.
obama can't have it both ways.....he either "owns" the reverend warts and all, or he doesn't.

Obama is the one who needs to quit but it's obvious he only cares about himself and not what is good for the party.

First we have Obama saying he is going to run a "differant" kind of campaign. Then he and Edwards smear Hillary until the sizable lead the Democrats had over McCain is gone. (great plan guys!)
Now we have Obama trying to reap the benefits of his long association with Rev. "god damn america" Wright but take none of the responsibility for the negatives.
There's a word for that, HYPOCRISY.
If Obama is not going to "disown" the good reverend then it's a package deal, Wright comes warts and all.
ps i just love the theme of this article....hillary is too mean LOL if obama can't stand up to this how in the world do you think he is going to survive the right wing smear machine?
