Top Clinton Adviser Wanted to Go After Obama as Lacking American Roots and Values

Penn's assessment of Obama is correct. It's not just a "campaign tactic." Obama is basically a foreigner. Obama was raised in other countries, and he opposes the principles that made this country great. Obama has no chance of becoming president of the USA. And Biden won't help either. Joe Biden is a far-left Yankee who puts his own foot in his mouth every time he's on television. Obama supporters, enjoy the next couple of months because McCain will be our next president.

Rev Wright, Father plfeger, Jessie jackson

All were members of Obama campaign team.

All close personal friends of his.

You tell me they all said, sent memos, made phones calls, saying nice things about White people, Jewish people, Most elected officials, that was not racial, demeaning, hateful and down right wrong.

Obama himself used race against everyone.

Obama lied to the American people saying wright never said those things in church or in private and he did not know any of them. after being caught came back and said he did. with out an apology for lying or any remorse, he just turned around and called Americans racist with his slavery speech.

Were these people Rev Wright, Father plfeger, Jessie jackson,used to make Obama look like a good guy?

Obama and axelrod are Chicago boys and they play dirty that is where they learn politics and dirty tricks.

Let's see some of their memo's

They would probably would make the world irate.

Mark Penn was right on the spot about B. Hussain Obama. In hindsights, he was great but it was pity that Hillary did not listen to him. Indeed, I do not know what American values Obama is representing today. All he tries to do are please do not attack me over my charater and values, and if you do and you are a racist! Hillary fell terribly into the trap of Obama. He is truly not one of us no matter what the media is trying to help him.

TOO BAD Penn didn't resign a LONG time ago....Hillary may have had a chance!

America is part of the international community. I love that Obama has a unique background and upbringing. This reflects many Americans - including me. I'm a white republican Military Brat (sound like some other candidate?). I think Obama is better suited to represent us on the World Stage.

I could not believe what I just heard on ABC News story that Mark Penn believes that Senator Obama is not American enough. Who is he to say who is American enough and who is not? If anything Senator Obama's life experiences of living in Indonesia is accent to his Presidency. My personal experiences of traveling abroad, if anything Sen. Obama would appreciate our FREEDOMSs we have here in the USA.

I look forward to McCain gaining even more momentum after Labor Day. The Obamessiah is melting.

Maybe, if you so-called hard ball democrats believe in that type of campaigning, you could have used it in California to help Grey davis over Arnold Scharwtzenneger

Most of us don't believe in it. Hence, Obama's victory in the primaries.

Maybe, if you so-called hard ball democrats believe in that type of campaigning, you could have used it in California to help Grey davis over Arnold Scharwtzenneger.It behoves me how asinine and self destructive you democrats are.You destroy your own, and give the republicans whips and sticks to bruise your backs, and when Carl Rove and the swift boats come at you you have no defense or cover. Is that any way to win an election? Thankfully Mark Penn and his like are now on their way to the dinosuars house as political relics of the past.Have'nt you heard that the republicans were thinking about amending the constitution so that A.S the governor of california, a naturalised citizen could run for President? How wise are you democrats to attack a natural born Citizen? Fools!

Traveling to Pakistan in 1981 on an Indonesian passport, i.e age 20 an adult, makes this moot! This is an utterly unfair con on the American people, this is unconscionable. We have something called a CONSTITUTION and millions of people have died to defend it and our freedoms, which the media thinks are up for grabs. It's so insulting to post inane questions about how many faeries can dance on the head of a pin to keep people distracted. This is pathetic.

One thing that is becoming more than clear to me is that these PUMA nuts are probably really Rush Limbaugh puppets. I really believe these are the guys who he suggested such switch as registered republicans and register democrats to get Hillary elected as they felt she would not really have a good chance at beating McCain/McBush. Additionally, if they were truly Clinton loyalist, why haven't they gotten her out of debt? You know if all of the 18 million supporters would just donate .55 cents each they would get their "saviour" out of debt. So with all their noise making apparently they haven't even donated .55 Cents let alone a dollar to help her out. So it's apparent that they really weren't for Clinton, they were just against Obama. So who cares if they support Obama or not. I was told a long time ago that you can never miss what you never had. Obama never had their support so they are inconsequential. I think one thing they have done is given someone doing psychological research on people with political delusions an excellent pool of people to study. Additionally, some PUMA/AH suggested going to SNOPES.COM to prove that Obama has lied about a lot of things. I visited that site and it proved just the opposite. Obama has been truthful and upfront about everything that he's said through out the campaign. PUMA - What losers - LITERALLY!

In the rest of the world we call this sausage-making. You know the old expression - "Those who love the law or love sausage should never watch either being made." So there was contention between the staff on how to combat Obama. Big deal! The end result was what you actually saw in their press releases and her appearances, and that's all that really counts. All organizations (certainly every one I've been involved with) have this sort of messy dialogue underneath the smooth product you see at the end.

So the tactic this week while Obama is in Hawaii is to dedicate the cycle to more deconstruction of Hillary Clinton and using that retrospective to outline strategies that appear to have failed as a means of ensuring those strategies can't be questioned when used by Obama and will be questioned if used against him?

That's backspin, folks. How does it help if Obama is still running against the Clintons? It keeps McCain off the front page while Obama wind surfs.

seah

are you really mark penn?

Obama will be the Democratic Party's nominee, because he won more pledged delegates, those determined by the outcomes of primaries and caucuses, than Clinton did. It was NOT a tie. Obama won with super-delegates. Obama would have won had they're been NO super-delegates. He won fair and square, and all the whining in the world will not change that.

And for this kind of advice, she still owes this creep how many million?

Clinton's end strategy worked. The positive Hillary. JOB JOB JOB Hillary worked. The negative campaigning failed miserably and if John McCain watched the Democratic primary he would know so.

Negative campaigning doesn't work as good at it used to anymore. When people are losing their jobs and homes the last thing they want is a politician comparing his opponent to Paris Hilton or Britney Spears.

This is precisely why Hillary Clinton's campaign imploded. And to think, this would have been her Oval Office, and thereby adding yet another suitcase to the set Clinton baggage.

who is american?

Real democrats? Me thinks some people need to retire their high horses and stop discounting the millions that voted for Obama.
