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

"It's her clean and straight forward campaign that makes the choice of superdelegates so wrong. If two candidates tie, you select the best one. The candidate with most character. That candidate was Hillary Clinton."

That is a just an outright, blatant lie. It amazes me how truly delusional you people are. That 3am AD was one of many negative attacks from the Clinton campaign painting Obama as naive, was released without prompt from Obama. Once again, as I've seen thousands of times in this election, baseless claims come flying from Clinton and McCain supporters, with no facts to justify.

This makes me sick? want to throw out.what is american values? proud ignornace, killing people in the name of God,enslaving people in the name of God for personal enrichment? I believe that is what the penn is best at. God have mercy shame shame shame

Obama's tactics and techniques were words used in repetitive motivational speeches, with high persuasion as mind conditioning and mind manipulation on the American people.

Along with slogans, catch phrases to be used as reinforcements in ads, and statements to keep it working.

That along with evil attacks and vile smear campaigns against his opponents. Appeasement and using peoples values, rights and feelings against them, in a high sales marketing and PR plan.

Using Peoples minds with marketing of the reinforcements is the winning combination Obama used. Uniting the Black community in Solidarity, Campaigning in Churches across the land, Getting volunteers and staff to take people to register, Doing everything needed to help people register. The churches outreach programs registered people and take them to vote. To insure the vote in the highest populated areas.

Hillary used good old Fashion Campaigning, with Presenting Her ideas, her strategies and how she was going to accomplish them, them with facts, data and having the background to show she could and would.

She received the majority of Democratic votes.

With out resorting to brainwashing, Campaigning in churches, and dragging people to register and vote.

My most startling memory of Ohio Primaries is when obama, kept open polls, reopened polls in the highest populated areas of Black voters. In Cleveland actually picking 3 particular polling places to reopen. That was the biggest travesty of the election process I have ever seen in my life.

When every one in the area was affected by an ice storm. Not all were treated equal.

These internal leaks from the Clinton campaign show that she ran on issues, even if many wanted her to pain Obama foreign. Same time he trashed her in a very unflattering way. When Clinton decided to fight back in Texas with the 3 A.M.-ad, even then did she run on the issue of experience.

It's her clean and straight forward campaign that makes the choice of superdelegates so wrong. If two candidates tie, you select the best one. The candidate with most character. That candidate was Hillary Clinton.

The Real Democrats are Hillary Clinton supporters. I don't don't where those "other ones" came from. I just hope they disappear after Hillary's name is put in nomination as it should be.

Who, amongst us, believes Mark Penn knows ANYTHING about American values?
Maybe..Rick Davis.

Hillary deserves a roll call vote says Eighteen Million Voters! That's the way it is supposed to go down but it's just one more thing Obama needs to CHANGE to get himself SELECTED. What makes him think he above anyone? This election process has been more contrived and controlled than 2004 and everyone is just letting him take over- The DNC move, His 747 all pimped out with his lazy-boy throne embroidered with "President" already embroidered on it and his very own ObamaStalin emblem painted on the tail minus the flag- thinks he's gonna be on a dollar bill- Rolling Stone wasn't good enough for him- Oh, No.

I thought we were done hearing from Mark Penn..Hasn't he gone back to his day job?

Since when is Hawaii not part of the United States?

Let's see. An American citizen who has lived all but 4 of his 47 years in the US, but lacks roots in America? That sounds stupid because it is.

Otherwise an army brat who spent even more years with his family abroad has no hope of having American values and roots.

The reason I will not vote for Obama is because he said that he 1)would raise the capital gains tax even if ncreasing the tax rate did not result in any increased revenue for the federal government and that he 2) would raise the capital gains tax rate even if it stifled economic growth. Obama said that the current low capital gains tax rate is unfair. That means that Obama thinks Americans who sell their homes should pay higher taxes -- even though the housing market is in a huge decline. That means that Obama thinks retirees taking disbursements from their retirement accounts should pay higher taxes -- even though prices on food and gas are going through the roof. That means Obama thinks that businesses should give more of their profits to the government -- even though they are struggling to stay in business because consumer confidence is low -- and reinvest less money in their capital improvements. To me, that sounds like a recipe for economic disaster disguised as a fair tax policy.

I care and I'm not a nobody (to me anyway). Article II of the constitution must be met.
I do know what you're saying though, some don't care what or who he is, let alone where he came from and where is allegiances lie.
Nobody can in any honesty state that Barry Soetero comes across as an American though.

Hillary should have followed Penn's advice!

He was right..........and still is!

Obama is no American in terms of experience or values.

I voted for Hillary, because of these very concerns.

MCCAIN IS THE ONLY TRUE AMERICAN NOW IN THE RACE.

WE MUST CHOOSE A TRUE AMERICAN FOR OUR PRESIDENT... MCCAIN 08'

How much will sending US troops to Darfur cost us? Will it provoke a war with China? If so, how much will that cost us? I ask because Darfur is in the Democratic Party Platform this year. As much as people want to paint John McCain as the warmonger, Barack Obama is no better. He intends to increase the size of the US military -- and one issue on the table was reinstituting the draft so minorities were not overrepresented in the military. Thank God that one did not make it into the platform. If we want to talk about the evils of war -- if we want to talk about butter or guns -- fine; but rest assured there will be no peace dividend if Barack Obama is elected.

The central problem with the americans is that they don't get the connection between "military might is right" ideology and its debilitating affects on domestic infra structure and economy.

This is apparently so by polls that show the number 1 issue for americans now is the economy and that the Iraq war is second. . . . as if the two are mutually exclusive.

But the current phony war has treaded on, or has now depleted over 1 trillion dollars of tax payer funded U.S. treasury; triggered disruption in oil markets ; has connections to the international food crisis and has directly caused inflation and economic constriction here this year, massive casualities notwithstanding.

Relax, the public intellectuals don't get it yet either or at least are not allowed to talk about it on the Belt Way shows.

Meanwhile, you people act as if saluting the flag and shutting up and never investigating what alternative meanings of patriotism might exist and that might be apparent in your own nation's history--that incidentally have been identified as "populist," not "aristocratic liberal left"--is all that is required of your civic duties.

Therefore, you will ride your military hero worship all the way down into the gutter of despotism along with the rest of the nation, and the Pentagon will be happy to let you do it because the harder work of realizing Constitutional principles and running an effective Republic have a nasty habit of being resilient to your guns and machismo if you ever woke up to realize the error of your ways and the true power that you, "the people" possess.

First of all Obama has had a consistent lead in the polls. Second of all we knew the risks with Obama. We still want to take the risks because Obama could potentially become one of the best Presidents. All of these attacks on Obama were the same attacks leveled against Ronald Reagan. This idea that he's just a celebrity was leveled at Reagan. The attacks that he's just a good speaker was leveled at Reagan as well. If America can look past differences and seek a leader than Obama is the obvious choice.

=====================================

One more thing, people said Reagan did not have any foreign policy experience too. Same accusations leveled at Obama.

Yes, Harvard has changed the requirements for latin honors because their grade inflation was notorious. In 2001, 91% of the class received latin honors -- other Ivy league schools were complaining because it put their students at a disadvantage. It doesn't make a difference what it is today -- it matters what it was when Obama graduated. But that is besides the point -- what matters on law review is publishing and what matters as a professor is publishing. Look at almost any professor's CV. especially a law professor, and you will see article after article. That is curiously missing from Obama's resume.

"I would expect a maverick to end up closer to the bottom of the class than the top."

Huh? Face it McCain is dumb and has proven it.

"When will the Democrats realize that Senator Obama will not win in November? "

When will the Democrats realize that Senator Obama will not win in November? After all of the corruption in the primaries and now with the crazy blocking of a roll call vote - something that EVERY CONVENTION for the last 100 years has had - it's the final straw. I mean, even Howard Dean was in nomination in 2004 and he only had 114 delegates! To somehow act like Hillary shouldn't get a vote is shameful, undemocratic and unacceptable.

But the cat's out of the bag - the voters know the rules and if Obama tries to make a sham out of this convention, the party will lose more than the presidency in November.
