Hillary: Barack Obama Won't Keep Your Kids Safe

The comments from beginning to end are disheartening to say the least. First, all of the sarcasm targeted at both Democratic candidates is totally undermining over two decades worth of hard work and community service. Both Clinton and Obama have accomplished fetes that less than 5% percent of the WORLD have accomplished. Both have outstanding academic records and careers including great public service. Please remember that the definition of foreign policy is not WAR! To imply that somehow Barack Obama is some sort of Pied Piper casting a spell over 55% of the country and the media at large insults the intelligence of the average person. I went into this contest fully supporting Clinton, and she totally lost me! While running a race, any time spent focused your opponent instead of your goal is energy that could have been used to win. Her campaign at some point began to focus on tearing Obama down instead of focusing on her great qualities. Hillary started an internal war within the Democratic Party as she was the first to strike! I'm not concerned with her vote for the war because in politics you just can't get everything right all of the time! Even Collin Powell (who is Republican but has been a favorite of both parties having served under Rep and Dem administrations) got it wrong when he addressed the UN in full support of the war. However, he was honest enough to admit that his intelligence was flawed. Obama has admitted that there will be mistakes in his presidency and lets not forget, there were PLENTY during the Clinton administration. Ask yourself was the genocide in Rwanda or Bill Clinton not aggressively pursuing the terrorist in 1998 good foreign policy? I LOVE the Clintons, but I have to admit they are an easy target because unfortunately due to mishaps like M.Lewinsky and White Water it was the most scandelous adminstration in US History. However, the Obama campaign never focused on that nor the current side dealings of Bill Clinton. Also if experience is so important to Hillary, I'd love to see the support documenting her activities (which she won't release) as First Lady. If this is how she is prepared to represent the US to the rest of the world then what does that say about someone who has the YEARS of experience but doesn't know how to properly apply them. Obama has been very candid about his misdealings and mistakes. Yes, I am voting for him but it is sad to say that Hillary LOST this race rather than him winning it. She went in with the GREATEST edge because we all know that she has been planning this as late as 2000 and that is why she manipulated her Senate run and chose a powerful state that she never resided in. I'm not mad at her though, she should be championed for her shrewd acts...she is brilliant but let he (or she)who is without sin cast the first stone!

I'm sure everyone bashing Obama and Hillary has never made a mistake on the job and has PERFECT children!

1. Bill Clinton was responsible for handling the Al-Qa'ida threat to the US for 8 YEARS before Mr. Bush took office. Al-Qa'ida hit the US 8 months after Mr. Bush took office. I'd say that both Mr. Clinton and Mr. Bush - failed to protect the country.

As First Lady, Hillary should not have 'heard the phone ringing' about AQ - because that was Bill's job and Bill's record isn't good on the subject, either. Neither Hillary or Mr. Obama have faced this type of challenge - and as Mr. Obama says, jugement is key. As an individual, Hillary has reacted to Al-Qa'ida - by helping to start another war in Iraq.

2. Al-Qa'ida posters are saying on their forums that they reject Mr. Obama - because he is NOT a Muslim and because he is a US politician. (See today's MSNBC's 'First Read' section, internet.)

Leave it to Al-Qa'ida to put the rumors about Mr. Obama being a Muslim - to rest.

As MSNBC is running the AQ forums story, CNN is airing Bill Clinton - speaking for Hillary.

Thank you, MSNBC - for helping us to separate - fact - from fiction.

Can't help noticing there are no Latino or black children -- just whites and Obama-colored ones -- in Clinton's red-phone ad. Or bunk beds . . .

Middle East for Obama has the post of the day. College students, slackers, and blacks are Obama's biggest supporters. But who and what is pouring all this money into Obama's campaign. They aren't.

He has so many companies backing him up and not to mention Muslims for Obama organization. How will he have time to fix the economy with the gas prices.. Maybe if we elect him the Saudis will lower the prices.

He has raised a ton of money I would like to know how much of that was from the Middle East?

that's why all the youth vote for him because He can't make up his mind just like them. I gues who gives him most money 'soros" control his mouth and his actions.

What a puppet.

Let me get this straight Obama was for the war which he himself stated in Sept 2004. then in 2007 when his controller Soros told him, he is against the war, now he wants to pull our troops out from fighting Al Qeada, and then put them back in to fight Al Qeada. His stance gets you dizzy!!

He has no clue !!

especially not trying to get the pay for women in this country the SAME as a man's pay, for the SAME WORK

THAT IS FUNNY, I WORKED AS A WELDER AND WORKED WITH WOMEN WHO WELDED THE SAME PART AS ME. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS WHEN I WAS DONE I DID NOT HAVE TO CALL A FELLOW MALE EMPLOYEE TO HELP ME LIFT THE PART. I ALSO WORKED WITH WOMEN IN THE MILITARY. WHILE ME AND OTHER MARINES WERE LIFTING 200-300 POUND ASSESTS I NEVER ONCE SAW A TEAM OF 2 WOMEN DOING THE SAME WORK. JUST BECAUSE YOU DO THE SAME JOB DOES NOT MEAN YOU DO THE SAME WORK

I think Sen. Obama was for the war before he was against it. Well anyway he had a fifty fifty chance to get it right so what does that tell you! Just like deal or no deal he was half way there. Maybe he had some info we didn't have!

I was/AM anti-war and mad as all get out when Hillary voted for the IWR. I also live in Illinois, a BLUE STATE, and voted for Mr. Hope when he ran for the Senate (I also met him and campaigned for him), but I now know what a fraud he is and regret that vote.

Sure Mr. Hope spoke out against the war when he was campaigning for the Senate. He lives in a BLUE STATE. It was VERY safe here, at the time, to be anti-war. Most people here are anti-war. For him to speak out in Illinois, a BLUE STATE, was not a "brave" thing to do do. It was VERY easy. The man WON his election by an overwhelming margin! If Illinois was pro-war, Mr. Hope would have had his behind handed to him and sent packing back to Springfield. This crap about him being anti-war is just that, CRAP. He knew it was a popular thing to say here. Do you honestly believe he would have been anti-war if he was running for the Senate in TEXAS??? I think not!

He's a fraud and I still believe he and his family should be forced to go live in Godley, Illinois and forced drink their Tritium tainted water ....courtesy of Exelon Nuclear, his buddies.

Bill Clinton in 2004:

"Now one of Clinton’s laws of politics is this: If one candidate’s trying to scare you and the other one’s trying to get you to think, if one candidate’s appealing to your fears and the other one’s appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope."

Thank you to the person who sent this to Ben Smith's Politico blog.

Hillary does have more foreign policy experience than Barack Obama. There is no question about it. If his camp gets offended at this ad than they better get prepared for what lies ahead with John McCain's ads. John McCain has already started to attack Barack Obama over his foreign policy misstatements and he hasn't even won the nomination. As a Democrat, I would clearly choose Hillary over Barack.

RO, stop the personal attacks on we Hillary supporters----you obama supporters have nothing more to do than smear people and tell untruths. That's why the Democratic Party is divided-----because obama supporters say, "WE" and refer to the rest of the Democrats as "You/they". Talk about divisive rhetoric. Just SHUT UP.

Mrs. Clinton is RIGHT! Lord, and this obama guy has not even said that he would do ANYTHING for women-----especially not trying to get the pay for women in this country the SAME as a man's pay, for the SAME WORK. This obama guy is anti-woman. He has not said ONE THING that he would do to help women or women's rights in the United States. BUT------Mrs. CLINTON HAS, and WILL FIGHT FOR WOMEN'S ISSUES.

Wakke UP, women across America. Do you want to go back to the 1960's with this guy obama's ideological take on women's plight in the U.S.? That would be: he has NO STAND NO POSITION NADA FOR WOMEN That translates into: HE WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT IGNORE WOMEN'S ISSUES, like bush has also done in the past 7 years!

Vote for Hillary, who is a CHAMPION and has a PROVEN RECORD for fighting for women's and children's rights.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Us Democrats for Hillary but never Obama are real. Obama the man of the past fixated on 2003.

I am strongly against the war. I always believe that the war in Iraq was a big mistake from the very beginning. However, I will never vote for Obama because he is the least qualified presidential candidate among three that Obama is too much like American Idol kind of politician. Clinton is the best for this country, and McCain is our second best choice.

Hmmn, If Hilliary loses "Democrats" are claiming to go vote for McCain. Just be honest and say your pro-War, and be done with it. Don't try to be a Democrat, when you know your really a pro war Republican... Be proud of what you are!!!

Two thought about the ad.

First, how much will it cost McCain to buy it from Hillary? Because the answer to that question, who do you want answering the White House phone at 3 am? is John McCain.

Next, in rebutting the Clinton ad Obama once again give the media and the voters a head fake that the media accepts unquestioningly.

The decision to invage Iraq was not a phone call at 3 am in the morning kind of call. It was the end result of months ... MONTHS ... of debates, UN Resolutions, and Senate resolutions.

The 3 am in the morning decision is more like the decision to invage Afghanistan in the aftermath of 9-11.

Does anyone seriously think Obama will ever authotize the use of military force anywhere, anytime in retaliation for anything?

Voters who cheered the decision to invage and bomb Afghanistan with B-52's and were appalled at Clinton bombing Sudanese aspirin factories with cruise missiles are going to be very very uncomfortable with President Obama's innate and reflexive pacifism.

I think that the Ad raises a good point. It is very important to me that the next President of the United States has foreign policy experinece. I will not vote for somebody that has little foreign policy experience, says that they are a Uniter and not a Divider, ever again. I already voted for Bush twice. Voting for Obama would be like voting for George Bush all over again.

I saw this ad earlier on CNN -- and could hardly believe it. One could EASILY make the case, frame by frame, that it's aiming at something darker, creepier, and more everyday than nuclear phone calls.

Anyway -- as an unshakeable supporter of John Edwards -- I'm finally outraged at the Clintons over using RACE. (Wild Bill's remarks in South Carolina, on which the press sand-bagged him, didn't do it for me: why WOULDN'T people of color vote for Obama?)

Unless the Clintons come out with a photo of Obama selling "Muhammed Speaks" on the street corner, he's likely to be the next president.
