yet doesn't know actual details about him when I have seen stories like "Obama spends quality time with his kids" and even today there is one called "Play of the Day: Obama and pancakes to go".
Can you say Obama fatigue???
Bill Clinton gave us:
the best economy in 50 years.
the lowest crime rate in 50 years.
stopped the Balkans war and caught Milosevic.
helped bring peace to Ireland.
helped Aristide return to power in Haiti until Bush II continued the coup his father started.
I know that can't compare to all of Obama's accomplishments such as: um, ah.....well there must be some reason people are voting for him. Oh yeah, the media and corrupt Democratic caucus told them to.
Maybe now the Democrats will stop being so scared of them and actually fight back???
Yeah I know, still a nice thought though.
during the primary, Obama should know about races turning ugly.
Hillary wins Nevada and Texas but Obama gets more delegates in both states.
According to the rules the last state to vote gets an additional 2 delegates just for being last. Oh why not? It's not like this is a democracy or anything.
These rules are a travesty and have corrupted any chance of an honest result. I don't care when they were agreed upon or by who. They are an insult to the voters of this country and we should not reward the Democrats for doing so.
he is one of their own.
Unlike the Democrats who have no idea of party unity. Just ask Obama and Edwards, they choose to smear Hillary during the primaries rather than respect a fellow Democrat and debate real issues. (not this made up racist crap)
We cannot let Obama come in and use Edwards and the media to smear the Democratic frontrunner (Hillary). Then buy the delegates he needs through "campaign contributions" to win a corrupt primary "vote" that gives him more delegates in states that he actual lost than the winner.
Then he flip flops on every one of his issues: after actually visiting the middle east says he can't bring the troops home when he promised after all, then he says he supports off shore drilling when he sees the latest polls, then he says he wants to count the Florida and Michigan delegate results now that he is the presumed winner.
Do not let Obama use the media and money to steal the Democratic nomination.
He had oral sex with someone who wasn't his spouse. It was absolutely no one's business but the Clinton familys' and the woman involved.
If the Democrats had stood up and defending his record instead of fleeing from the hypocritical religious right things would have been very different.
And it was Gore's boneheaded decision not to use Bill Clinton in states where Clinton was popular that cost him the election.
during the primary, Obama knows all about campaigns turning ugly.
I'll remove mine.
By the way he opened the Bill Clinton pandora's box by smearing him with the racist label.
Going to be kind of hard to get Bill back in the box now isn't it?
Lewinsky to start on Edwards......I'm waiting?
Thats right, Edwards has been Obama's little attack dog so that deafening silence I hear must be coming from the self righteous Obama supporters.
Bill has a one night stand and it's some how worse that Edward's on going affair.
Not to mention Edwards has denied it up until this point when it finally becomes too big to ignore. This only highlights the fact that he admitted it because he got caught, not because he wanted to be honest.
The way the Obama camp finds fault in everyone but themselves truly amazes me....kind of reminds me of the current resident in the white house.
so quickly.
He reminds me more and more of George Bush everyday.
How long have we heard from the self righteous Clinton bashers (such as Edwards) about what a horrible person Bill is for his one night stand?
Now we have Edwards being caught in an on going affair. Think we'll here those same hypocritical Clinton bashers going after Edwards? Not likely. Edwards was Obama's little attack dog during the primaries.
So now we get to see if the hypocrite Obama will stand with his close friend Edwards or if he'll sacrifice Edwards like his close spiritual adviser Rev. "God Damn America" Wright.
In 1999, when Edwards was a senator, he said of President Clinton and his affair with Monica Lewinsky:
"I think this president has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter. It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen."
In 2008 Edwards says "I was and am ashamed of my conduct and choices. With my family, I took responsibility for my actions in 2006, and today I take full responsibility publicly."
He didn't take responsibility, he got caught!!!!
The hypocrisy of the Obama camp reaches a new low.
Fred Baron, the former finance chairman of John Edwards' presidential campaign, has now admitted that he paid for Rielle Hunter to move from her home in North Carolina. The move apparently also included former Edwards aide Andrew Young, who has claimed to be the father of Hunter's daughter. But, Baron said, he gave them this money without Edwards' knowledge.
