Key Obama Adviser Mocks Clinton's Tears

Gen Merrill McPeak? LMAO. This guy jumps from campaign to campaign looking for a job in the next administration. It is widely uderstood that his tenure as USAF Chief of Staff was an utter failure and everyone in the USAF knows that. The guy has a track record of very poor judgement!

Hillary's rehearsed gravitas is known as the New Hampshire Plan. She's so contrived and phony it's nauseating.

This is just another one of your incredibly lame attempts to give credibility to stories that ostensibly make the Obama campaign look bad (at least in your mind). Well, guess what? It does the opposite - Obama took control and put a stop to the comments, instead of pulling a "Clinton" and fudging the facts. But, keep searching for something, ANYTHING, to hang on the Obama camp. After all, if HRC wins, she WILL need a press secretary. And with your hatchet job credentials, I'm sure your resume will move to the top of the pile. ; )

It seems to me McPeak made a pretty accurate despcription of Hillary. Obama better wake up. He should not have come out disavowing what was a pretty measured piece of straight talk.
I would like to see him directly and forcefully respond to the Clinton character assisination machine. Obama may be a giant question mark given his skill at avoiding direct answers, but has has done nothing to deserve the personal and juvenile attacks on everything from supposedly claiming to be the second coming of MLK to his kindergarden ambitions. One of the funniest episodes had to be the Philanderer in Chief's claim Obama was doing a "political hit job" on him. We know this is true because Bill told us, as everyone knows, he does not lie...

Dah!

Jake,
I really like your reporting, but you have apparently got a censorship problem with regard to posts on Hillary Clinton. I have had 2 comments removed that in no way crossed ANY stated policy on this site with regard to prohibited speech. If this is not manifest evidence of editorial censorship I don't know what is.

Pretty lame. What ever happend to the journalistic ethic of objectivity?
Too bad, I just discovered your blog and have really enjoyed reading your campaign coverage and what seems a rare example of objectivity, an agile mind and lucid, insightful writing.

levonjaw,
Glad you asked about research. I have read Roger Morris' book "Partners in Power, James B. Stewart's "Blood Sport"
All of The New Republic's articles on the Clintons, including the outstanding piece on the "Hillary Care" fiasco, and many many other sources conservative and liberal.
The Morris book, funny enough, got started out as a biography of the Clintons that James Carville approached Morris about writing because the Clintons some positive press and some touchup work on their respective "legacies". After Morris began researching the book he got back to Carville and said he would have to decline the deal. Carville was furious but, he was even more enraged when Morris told him he was still going to write the book, but given everything he turned up in Arkansas he could not, in good conscience, write the flattering puff piece the Clintons wanted. This man was not a Clinton hater or he never would have been approached in the first place.
James B. Stewart's book "Blood Sport" was the most through examinination of White Water I have yet read.
I was not the same after reading these books, so be forwarned. You may become quite a bit more skeptical (sure, cynical if you like) when viewing all politicians after the reading.
Both authors are highly respected for thier objectivity and quality of research and documentation.
I also used to be a religous watcher of CSPAN and can't reccomend (if you have the time) a better source than that for one to watch and come to their own conclusions.
I would really recommend searcing "The New Republic" for stories on the Clintons. They really did an incredible job explaining the Clintons health care plan and how & why they wound up with the work product they did.
Just for frame of reference I am a pro choice, socially liberal, fiscal conservative. I believe Iraq was a mistake. I would put Bush near the top of the heap of bad President's just based on his fiscal mismanagement and general lack of tangible intellegence and generally outdated views and policies.

Glad you asked levonjaw. I highly recommend you read the above reference texts for a good read if not just for the education and understanding of just who and what the Clintons are.

Harris Pilton, where did you get your facts? I would like to research this on my own. You shouldn't just throw these comments out, without backing them up!!!

Hillary DID NOT HAVE A CRYING FIT! She put her cheek on her hand and looked very sad when she was told she was disliked.
She may have had a tear in her eye but she NEVER cried at all. I saw this on TV myself. What a crock!

Obama does not have expierence, has too many questions in his past, and he is not answering any questions!

Denise, it extremely important that people be honest in their posts. If you truly believe these things about Hillary, then post your sources, so we can research them on our own.

femi akinsiku, you should remember that Barrack also considers himself black. He's half white and half African, yet he considers himself black.

i think you americans are funny.i wonder how the most powerful country on the planet come to have so many ignorant and impressionable people.some one is blaming obama for leaving chicago poor .do not jugde him by what chicago was or is at this moment in time but by the what his actions were within the powers and responsility of his office.do not blame him for the responsibilities of the governor , mayor and councillors?what did he do as a legislator?what has he done as a senator?who is he as a person?did he do his job?what difference has he made with his life in plitics.how will he affect your life?
unfortunately many of the anti- obama are just against him for the colour of his skin and not for the substance of his argument and record.i think you should judge him for him but not race.i like clinton and mccain as much as i like obama. i wonder if there will still be a contest if any of the other contestant have the same qualities as obama.
why is the media calling obama black.he is as white as he is black.that goes to show the american mentality. and the media push this same message.and those playing the religious angle are just showing who they really are.plain rascist who will never see any good in any person who is not their type.in my home ,we are just laughing our head off this dance of shame.

It does seem that it's still OK to question the abilities and actions of a woman in light of her gender (and MCPeak was just the most recent) when it is not OK to question a man in light of his race. I think IT IS NOT OK in either instance.

Will McPeak still be working for Obama though? That's the question. He never fires people who says these things on his behalf.

Obama's a flake, Clinton a fake, and for lies McCain takes the cake. Gotta be Mitt, for heaven's sake!

Think back to 2000. Those who support Hillary say how 'wonderful' times were under Billy. Let's face it folks, Gore (a Democrat!!) LOST the 2000 election because there were a LOT of Independents who were sick of the Clinton shennanigans in the WH. Sure, there was probably voter fraud and Gore should have won, but the race should not have even been close given how 'wonderful' the times were then. So now you want to put the Clintons up for reelction. Well, good luck. McCain will win. By the way, by Hillary's own admission, she sat in on a lot of Presidential Staff meetings while First Lady. What makes you think Bill won't do the same when he's not off flirting with the secretaries or picking out the china and planning the menus for the State dinners.

Do not fall for the Clinton Tears; remember Billy Boy's laughter then seconds later tears at the Ron Brown Funeral---when he realized he was on camera!

America the Stupid! Wake-up, those people stole furniture out of the White House and all the files too! And Sandy was stuffing documents down his underwear! And Foster and Brown had to take it the hard way like some many others! Even their Neighbor, three doors down, tried to get in on the act but failed--not enough clout!

I love this blog, this is way better than CNN's blog. All the Obama supporters have commanded CNN's blog and the moderator showed great bias against Clinton supporter by not posting their comments online. I learn so much about Obama on this blog in a 30 minute timespan. People who post their comments here are very creative, articulate and factful but mostly professionals. Thank you for the wake up call, I AM DEFINITELY NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA. HE IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE AMERICAN DREAM WHICH OUR FORE FATHERS BUILT SO DEARLY FOR US ALL!

Obama camp continues to make divisive statements to do anything in order to wind the elections. So much for a positive campaign based on change, hope, unity. just more mud slinging for Obama...I agree he is starting to look like George W. I wonder if the republians are secretly backing him as this is part of some master plan.
