New Clinton TV Ad Asks Who's Tougher, Her or Obama

April 21, 2008 11:27 AM

The ad's called "Kitchen," but it might as well be titled "Wuss."

"It’s the toughest job in the world," it says. "You need to be ready for anything – especially now, with two wars, oil prices skyrocketing and an economy in crisis. Harry Truman said it best – if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Who do you think has what it takes?"

Watch it HERE

So? Who do you think?

Hillary is tough! She's really tough to look at. An eyesore anywhere, even in a zoo. She's ready to lie from day one. The only problem is that on day one she won't be in the White House; she'll be hiding in her mansion in New York.

HILLARY IS GOING TO WIN!

Obama is a weak crybaby who thinks he is superior to everyone else and truly feels affronted when asked a simple question. How is this presidential material?

Truman also said "the buck stops here." Obama points fingers, blames others, stutters and stammers, and wahwahwahwahs like an itty bitty baby boy.

How can anyone support him? Where's the change? How can he unite everyone when he can't even unite the Democratic party? He's pathetic!

It's 3AM. And it's a COLLECTION AGENCY - HILLARY $10 MILLION YOU OWE HARD WORKING PEOPLE whose only mistake was trying to help your once unstoppable campaign.

Obama can't even handle a debate. Hillary Clinton is a fighter.
Barack Obama is a wuss.

Hey, Obamamaniacs:

You consistently forget that Obama is nowhere without the Clintonistas to support him in the GE. You make it impossible for me to do so.

Ed Rendell, in 1997, on Louis Farrakhan: "My respect for him has grown... for the intensity of his beliefs... for the decency of his soul... and for the strength of his courage."

Louis Farrakhan in 1996, the Saviours' Day Speech: "And you do with me as is written, but remember that I have warned you that Allah will punish you. You are wicked deceivers of the American people. You have sucked their blood. You are not real Jews, those of you that are not real Jews. You are the synagogue of Satan, and you have wrapped your tentacles around the U.S. government, and you are deceiving and sending this nation to hell. But I warn you in the name of Allah, you would be wise to leave me alone. But if you choose to crucify me, know that Allah will crucify you."

"America is a modern Rome. America is a modern Egypt. America is a modern Babylon. America is a modern Sodom and Gomorrah. There is no wicked nation in the past that approaches the evil that is practiced in America on a daily basis. I am not saying that there are not good Americans, white and brown and black and yellow and red. But you are like sheep. Your government is rotten to the core. Now bring me before the government. You are deceiving the American people. And you, press, are an agent of the deception."

Hillay's resume:
1- I am a lier and will use this skill to foul all the people that can be fouled. and when smart people bring it up I will deny it.
2- I am entitled to become president
3- I am a flip floper - vote for war when I thought it will help my career, against war since I think it will give me the presidency
4- I am for NAFTA for 12 years supporting it - loobying for it - I am against it now since it is not good for my candidacy
5- I have 30 years of NO experience except talking
6- "Since I have been the first lady I am experienced to be president
7- I cannot control my husband but sure I can control every thing else
8- I do not mind to take money from lobbiest
9- I make sure that I make more money

@jabate,

I have known David Geffen for almost 20 years. There is not bigger lair on the face of the earth than him! David doesn't known what the word truth means.

Moral of the story: HE who lives in a glass house should not cast stones!

Her use of Osama Bin Laden is just more of what has gotten her in the shape she is in right now. From front runner to a laughing stock to those smart enough to get the joke.
All I hear when I see these ads from her stink tank is the sound of Tammy Wynette singing "Her D E S P E R A T E race becomes final today"
LOL She has no intention of becoming the nominee. She hasn't since Texas when Obama took more delegates and she lost her bid to have the faulty votes counted in MI and FL. It's all about making sure John McCain wins in November so that she can run again in 2012.
So go ahead and send more money, waste your vote and guess what? If it works you get at least 4 more years of Bush politics with McCain at the helm.
Dosen't matter that much to me. I am educated and have money. The uneducated and poor who are voting for her are the ones who will lose in the next 4 years under McCain...oh and those women whose husbbies ran around on them and they decided to stay..Hillary gives them a feeling of power so they vote for her too but just like Hillary's Motel 6 Bill...they never change and your lives won't either if you don't change. But hey, like i said go ahead and send her more money. She stills owes Mark Penn 4 million that has to be paid off somehow.

"Kitchen" is the best title, since all the media pundits, keep referring to Clinton, "throwing the kitchen sink". I am sure that tag line would have never been used to describe Barack Obama. Because Hillary Clinton is a woman, the sexist (not racist) media, indirectly applying she perhaps belongs in the kitchen.

If you cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen indeed! For the reaction of Barack Obama media advisers(CNN, MSNBC, etc. the list is endless) over the debate of ABC, Obama cannot take the heat (without him whinning).

While Obambi is swallowing the Waffles......

I BET YOU THAT HE IS NOT TASTING A THING......

Taste buds shut down when someone asks you a question that makes your stomach drop....lol

Posted by: carpenter.nyc | Apr 21, 2008 4:41:08 PM

And how would Obambi have handled Farrahkhan?

Just stand in the background and hide as his Church Proclaim him MAN OF THE YEAR !!

FARRAHKHAN WANTS OBAMBI TO WIN..... That is his agenda....

Rendell....just didn't want any problems with the group....... How much have you drank of the KOOLAID to get this out??

The HARI KRISHNAS are Nothing compared to the OBAMBIBOTS--- they are as scary as the SCIENTOLOGIST...!!

Posted by: carpenter.nyc | Apr 21, 2008 4:31:57 PM

Hillary is VERY tough!

Both to look at and to listen to.

"Obama avoided commenting on former President Jimmy Carter's meeting with Hamas."

Well, the treacly little twit ALREADY did THAT. "Waffles" says it all.

She just been ducking too many sniper bullets lately. I think one or two hit her in the head, that part usually filled with brains. Really messed her up.

"Imagine the lack of moral authority she would have as she goes to lay the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier on Memorial Day." Major General Stewart.

"The Clintons lie with such ease it's sickening." David Geffen."

"The only way you can tell if she is lying is to see if her lips are moving. If they are moving, she's lying." Jack Bate

"He is a Communist."

He wants the LEFT to think he's a Bolshevik in a birthday suit, and for the right to think he's Senator Tom Coburn's tightest ally.

He's a corporate construct: there's no there there, just "cute". And his voice is getting annoying, isn't it?

Great Commerical! VERY TRUE!
