Why do Hillary’s numbers remain strong across the country despite the accusations that the Clintons are liars? Democrats are bloodhounds for the truth and hate propaganda, that’s why. The biggest propaganda campaign this year is the Obama campaign. The press is complicit in this propaganda and America knows it. For example, during the last debate, Obama said: “I spent a total of five hours representing Rezco, that was the extent of it.” The truth is Obama got his house deal brokered by Rezco and paid about 300 thousand dollars below market value for it. Funny thing is, on the Today show later that week, the big story was a picture of Hillary and Bill with Rezco back in the early 1990’s. No discussion at all about Obama’s partial truth. Another example, Obama explained his COO comments (“I need someone to organize my papers. I am not a COO”) from the last debate by explaining “I’m just a regular guy and gave a real answer.” Bullshit. Any high school graduate knows to prepare the “what are your three weaknesses and three strengths” question before an interview. The real reason for his comments? I think he was trying to say that Hillary is a bureaucrat and he is a visionary by making this comment. When he realized he made himself look like an incompetent, he tried to fix it later that week in an interview with the Reno Gazette. He compared himself to Reagan who many believe was more of a visionary than a manager. When the Clintons called him to task on the comments he made to the Reno Gazette, Obama and his surrogates retorted that the Clintons are liars about his comments about Reagan. I listened to the clip, the Clintons told the truth. The press is in a frenzy about Bill Clinton’s participation in the campaign because Bill is calling Obama on Obama’s propaganda. For example, last night, I watched The MacNeil Lehrerer New Hour with David Brooks and the other guy. Their propaganda spew was unbelievable. The old guy even accused the Clintons of injecting the race question into the campaign. What I remember about the race card was that every single pundit decried Clinton for questioning Obama’s stated ideas about Iraq and then uttering the horrible racially charged invective “fairytale” about how Obama had mischaracterized his position over the years. I also remember a clip of Michelle Obama telling a black audience that calling the Obama campaign (not his past behavior as a politician) a fairytale was to crush the aspirations of African Americans. Who was mischaracterizing what, Michelle? I for one am glad that Hillary and Bill are making the country take a good hard look at Obama. Obama, quit lying!
