  • No taming of this shrew

    Obama testy? What came out in South Carolina is that Hillary showed her true colors, she’s in a perpetual state of pique and that robotic smile is just a charade hiding the monster behind the façade. Yeah Yeah she’s all for affirmative action as long as it’s not threatening to her status quo position atop the Democratic dung heap; if she were a waitress at Huckabee’s she’d act just as ruthlessly and falslely by defaming or having her boyfriend defame a new sexy young black lady who was threatening her position. Hillary’s an equal opportunity offender though, that she hates strong men is obvious, and Bill "I didn’t inhale and I didn’t have sex with “that woman”" Clinton ain’t no strong man but a lying self-serving weasel. The family dynamic is that she wears the pants, and he’s the rakish but shrewd cad who can get away saying the infantile “that depends on what the meaning of the word is is” in a public deposition, a guy that she gets to beat up on in private because he takes it from her and the bargain here is he gets to play the field without the blowback the average American male would be subject to were he caught with his pants down. What a pathetic exhibition the Clinton duo are subjecting America to in their twisted attacks on Obama, I understand the Bush haters, but I can’t say I understand the Clinton lovers. They’re creepy and twisted, in Hillary’s case bitter and twisted.

  • They’re creepy and twisted, in Hillary’s case bitter and twisted.

    Honestly, after she get's pummeled in the general election and leaves the Democratic party in ruins, I can see those two six months later:

    "Bill and Hillary you're the last team to arrive. I'm sorry to tell you, you've both been eliminated from the race."

  • Huffington Post are the new Fox's of the blogosphere

    Every morning my desktop gives me the headlines from about 16 different and varied news sources -and it's always the Huffington Post who -in their beliefs they've an inside line to the media- always raises the first black flags (no pun intended) of evil trying to steal victory from Hillary Clinton -and are almost always incorrect, if not blatantly and intentionally misleading about many of it's facts, like this story.

    They've been anti everyone but Hillary for quite a while now mainly because they're pro DLC/Bush supporters on matters of foreign policy -and now have fallen into the gutter to throw false charges at everyone.

    They've gotta be getting there news ideas from Mark Penn and Karl Rove.

  • Uppity?

    Testy.

  • Get real.

    A cute, dismissable provocation from the Clinton campaign has become a dumb, condescending question, which is now a tempest-in-a-teacup media distraction. Come on guys! Only you insiders will remember or care about this exchange at the end of the evidently slow news day. This is verbartim spin amplified by a "serious" reporter asking about it, instead of a real issue, in a very distracting setting. A polite "No" might have been the better response to the question, but emphasizing the cluelessness and absurdity of the notion was also more than appropriate -- and somehow the apparent misstep here at least to ABC. Common sense says get over it.

  • Not testy

    It just looked like he was quite busy singing autographs, and then offered to talk off the record. Nothing testy there.

  • Only his fans

    Obama didn't seem testy, but his fanbase sure is.

  • 3 rhetorical questions

    Don't blame Nader, at least he ran on conviction.

    So what? Every idealogue and zealot who causes desperation and ruin does so on conviction.

    If Hillary is the nominee I will not vote in the general election. Does that mean you support one of the dumb fuk republicans for president - which one?

    The last time I heard this much anti-establishment talk similar to whats coming from the Obama fansters was in the sixties. So does that mean the hippy era is returning? (I am cool with that. Yeah let's wave our freak flag high.!)

    So really, for some of us still down here on earth, we the people are selecting a candidate to a management and leadership position. A big one granted, but still like you know an earthly job. Actually a job that doesn't even pay that well relative to other ceo jobs. This cult of personality thing with Obama is getting a little weird.

  • since when...

    did Obama hire Rob Riggle as his bodyguard?

    seriously, check out his bodyguard, he looks EXACTLY like Riggle! Man, I knew the writer's strike was going to be tough for some, but I didn't realize it would be THAT tough!

    ;)

  • The other side?

    I wonder what he meant . . .

    He IS the other side.

  • Obama should push the envelope..

    he is not a woman for pete sakes...

  • Obama is not "testy"...

    ...but I am getting slightly peeved, perturbed, and pissed off at the way that the press is blowing up a slight incident into a major drama. Obama has been a model of forceful, consistent presentation throughout this entire campaign. On the other hand the Clintons have become increasingly shrill, strident, off-kilter and out of touch with what really matters to American voters today.

    I hope that soon the media will focus on the questions that actually concern us rather than a faux drama that creates transient headlines and takes our attention away from the real issues of the day -- the war in Iraq, the tottering economy, the dismal status of the United States on the world stage. In other words, we need analysis of the Bush/Chaney legacy rather than the minor squabbles of the Democratic candidates.

  • Blacks and women

    Black folks aren't supposed to get "uppity," and women aren't supposed to speak their minds, lest they be called "cold" or "bitchy." So anytime Hilary or Obama gets forceful, the media jumps on them. If a white man does it, though, it shows they're strong and "commanding."

  • the media is bad

    I am not a Barack supporter, but these reporters are assholes from trying to bait the candidates into blowing up.

    Russert is the biggest asshole of them all.

  • Ralph Nader is destroying America

    He ran on his ego and lost and we have endure Bush for 8 years.

    Thanks Ralph
