Hillary attack?
Gee, what a surprize. That woman is the LAST thing the US needs in the Oval Office!

It is about time. BO has been the darling of the media and not tested as he should be for a general election. I am fearful that a great hoax is afoot by the Republicans. They literally ignore BO in their attacks and keep it up on Hillary. Why? Because they know that the only place to be sure they can stop her is within the Democratic Primary process. She will be a far better Gen Election candidate. If BO wins the Dem nomination, I smell a landslide loss for the Dems and then the Supreme Court will look like we are back in the 19th centrury.

Clinton sneered at Obama as someone "who started running for president as soon as he arrived in the United States Senate."

She says that like she didn't start running for the presidency as soon as her husband arrived in the White House.

"How did running for president become a qualification to be president?" she demanded.

How did being the First Lady become qualifications to be president.

Hillary is in a panic because she's not leading in the polls anymore, she's attacking Obama for things that she's also done.

If you want higher taxes, social health care,and socialism you cam move to Canada or vote for any democrat Hillieary or BO. Take your pick and by the way I loved living in the 19th centrury when freedom wasn't just a word it had meaning.

Hillary is not going to win Iowa by raising Obama's negatives. She will have to increase her positives. I don't know if she has the political ability or the will to do that.

I believe this attack on BO is good. He needs to run up against some tough competition even though Hillary is simply angry because people don't trust her as a leader and they want to see change. They don't trush HC ability to be honest or up front with the people and as she sees her poll numbers of support continually decline, she is throwing hay makers until something changes. Barack is simply smarter than her, analyze his attack moves, they are very strategic..... Hillary is making his approval rate go higher by attacking him. it is funny and I am not a BO supporter and I see that. I seriously do believe that BO will win the nomination if HC doesn't come up with something that will sway the trust of voters to her side again....

I think an Obama/Biden ticket is the way to go in '08, not just an electability issue but who will actually get this country back on track. How can anyone still possibly think that having a democrat in the white house could possibly be worse the the republican we have had for the last 8 years. Trillions in debt, a deflated dollar, all but no real political capital left on the world stage. IT is time to end the politics of fear. Hills is done. The next few primaries may be close but she will steadily lose ground, she does not have the character. She is playing politics and trying to point a finger instead of showing leadership. The sooner Obama calls on Biden to join him as VP the better. and for those that keep saying that he has not been tested, he's been accused of being a muslin mole. they have gone all the way back to kindergarten to try and smear the man. They can't find it, because it isn't there.

she will be dating herself if she gets elected and bill is able to use the oval office as a dating tool to attract young girls again. because he wont be dating her.

The ghost of a fellow named William F.E. (who claims to have lived in the 19th century) is adding coments to this blog. Did Hillary not claim to be the recipient of Republicanesque "mud-slinging" in the last debate? I didn't think Edwards' comments were mud-slinging but what the heck!? She's doing the same thing. I say again, you cannot take money from big corporations and then claim to be able to ignore them when it's time to govern. If she is nominated/elected, foreign policy will improve but NO much needed domestic legislation will be passed. The Republicans will be against anything she wants to do because it will be popular with their base and too many people will have a seat at the table when it's time to write the bills. (i.e. oil, drug companies, insurance companies, ...) Also, she will energize the Republican base more than any candidate on either side.

Obama should pick Biden as his running mate and the white house will return to the Dems,Its evident Hilary will lose the nomination

The Obama campaign is talking about attack!. How how long they have been snipping at Hillary, Edwards and anyone who dare to say something about Obama.
Is time for Hillary and all the other to engage Obama - following Rove advice to Obama, with humor and smiles"-
If he is taking the facts that Hillary is mentioning are "attacks," wait until the Republicans attack him, they will have no mercy on him. They know he has not experience, records, and alot of flops, even tho they are using him as the vehicle to derail Hillary or Edwards campaigns.

no, its actually time for all the other democrats to concede and start supporting obama in order to keep him the only democratic candidate who is currently able to defeat any AND ALL 5 top republican candidates. (hillary would lose to all 5 if the general election were held today. i dont even think obama should offer her the vp spot.

I think the women in Iowa have already shown their disapproval with Hillary's negative tactics. It will make matters worse, now that she is going to attack Obama's character. Didn't the 'lady' say that she CAN 'take the heat' in the kitchen? I guess she can't. This just goes to show, that since she can't stick with debating the issues, she has resorted to defaming her rivals. The only "experience" that Hillary can demonstrate is 'fighting' Republicans and 'attacking' the other Democratic candidates. So much for bringing the country together. These tactics, I am sure will make her look more 'presidential'. How sad.

People are so afraid of socialism but they don't complain when they receive farm or corporate subsidies, which are not free market ideas. An when they reach 62, they have no problem using Medicare for medical expenses.

Hillary is hated by too many people for us to want to continue this infighting between americans. If we want peace in iraq, why do we want to kill eachother here in america? Please bring peace here first, vote for someone less polarizing for real, live change, and not just talk about it.

You guys used the word "sneered"? Seriously? Way to be unbiased, folks.

What kind of pseudo-journalism is this?

I believe that many democrats dont like hillary, they just want to vote for her to shove the worst down the republicans throats rofl.true compassion there. Just like the congress, the country be dammed as long as i get my knife in.

Clintons are liars and cheats! Vote for Obama!!! He is our rising star like Kennedy was!

I agree with EE, biden would be a perfect running mate for Obama. Biden is smart, clean and articulate.

Hillary's attacks on Obama seem to be frivolous and without substance. This will hurt her more than it helps. Hillary's campaign appears to acting in wild desperation and grasping at straws. Some insiders are saying that the her campaign has fresh internal numbers that show her poll numbers in free fall in Iowa and elsewhere. That is why they are freaking out and shifted to crisis attack mode.

are all of Clinton's old friends jumping ship out of shock? i don't think they are truly shocked at Hillary's behavior as they would have us believe, they are realists, and the Clinton's are finished. Barbara Streisand will probably go down with the ship.the rest want to save themselves the embarrassment

Hillary recognizes that Iowa may be suddenly slipping away, so is engaging Obama in a non-stop exhange of negatives which will bring them both down and allow Edwards to win Iowa. If Obama were to win Iowa, Clinton would immediately be in real trouble. She's not concerned about Edwards outside of Iowa because of his lack of finances and relatively low poll numbers elsewhere, but that's a dangerous game for her to be playing with a candidate as strong as John Edwards. Political campaigns are won by momentum, not money.

You're exactly right sps, hillary seems doomed at this point.Her negativity now against Obama who seems to be the most viable candidate will only harm the party. She needs to get the message to back off the negativity and underhandedness. The problem is that I don't think anyone can stop her from being who she is.

No matter how much Hillary's loyal supporters love her, and no matter how sure they are of her, there arent enough of them to get her to where they want her. Barack can get there with most if not statistically all of the independent voters, and even some of the republican voters. Because unlike Hillary, Obama doesnt offend the senses of so many.

Democrats are beginning to evaluate each candidate's potential for winning in the general election, and Hillary's in the process of becoming the first casuality because of her polorizing reputation. Barak Obama will be the next to be eliminated as Democrats realize the timidity that he's shown throughout virtually the entire nominating process reflects a shortcoming that would be fatal in the general election. The Republican smear machine would bash Obama's head in and make Democrats rue their day they put all their eggs in the "politics of hope" basket.

This campaign has proven that being a woman or a minority no longer disqualifiers an individual from being seriously considered to be President. Conversely, despite our desire for greater equality, it also takes a great deal more than being a woman or a minority to qualify someone to be President. Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama are flawed candidates for reasons that have nothing to do with their gender and race. Recognizing and culling the field of candidates based upon the recognition of such shortcomings is neither chauvanistic nor racist, it's what the nominating process is all about.

nice photo, there should be a talk bubble above her head saying " get out of my way obama or i will punch you in the nose!" as she is clenching her fist like adolf hi......oh, never mind, lol.

When it comes to being a hypocrate Hillary takes the cake!
"Obama started running for President the moment he arrived in the U.S. Senate".
Hillary started running for President the minute her husband left office(with the furniture).
She covets the Presidency so much that she moved to New York State to run for the U.S. Senate! After barely more than
one term as a Senator from New York she is running for President!
Does Hillary Clinton think that most of us are Stupid?
Her Arrogance and Dishonesty keep shining through!
Who would even consider voting for her?

Wow. I am amazed how quickly the tide is turning against Hillary. The comments in this thread would not have been seen just a couple of weeks ago.

It's onething when candidates compare themselves to another in respect to what they will bring to the table, but it's another when they start attacking character. Hillary just lowered herself big time.

Bye Bye miss American pie. Sounds like she's ganging up on her opponents. What a nasty woman.

lol, all the actors love her because they respect her acting abilities, but i dont know why, she isnt a very good actor, she cant even keep from exploding into angry tirades when she is in front of a camera!

McCain is the only candidate that can beat Hillary Clinton. The campaign surge continues.

Obama started the attacks and then he creates a website when Hillary defends herself? The guy has nothing to say, he only alludes to change but doesn't specify what that is.

There is no way he could win in the general election. Hillary has a chance and so does Biden. Still he's the golden boy of the Press who have forgotten what real journalism is and just editorialize.

I hope the American public sees through all of this and picks the candidate they truly feel deserves to serve.

Obama did not start attacks, he's only responded to and refuted statements Hills has made.

Can't believe how many people are jumping in the Obama bandwagon without even know him at all. How many of the people writing here all those great comments about Obama really know him well or trying to know him enough before they make a serious judgment. I wonder if he or any candidate for that matter will survive such overwhelming negative daily attacks from all fronts, Republicans, some Democrats and other are giving to Hillary.
Doesn't surprise me the hatred towards Hillary coming from Republicans; but what surprises me is the bitterness, poisoning comments coming from the people that are preaching "CHANGE," or supporting the "Holier than thou" candidate for change. Easy to jump into the negative attack to Hillary or the Clintons as they did before, some people hate them not matter what, as they did with Gore, Kerry, Dole, among other; and some people are quick to elevate other people without any merit as they did with G.W Bush, Gingrich, Dean and now are doing it again with Obama.
You know who are laughing out at this confrontation right? The Karl Rover of the world and all the right wingers that want to seek this opportunity to weak the Democrats. They are very good on that and it shows once again. Those forces elevated Obama to a "real contender" so they can use other weapon within the party to attack Hillary while containing Edwards -who they really fear-, they know they can take care of Obama easily!
It would be interesting to see if at the end none of them, Hillary or Obama get the nomination. Actually that will be better for the Democrats since neither of them can win the general.

Hillary has to attack because she is afraid to articulate her position on anything of substance. Sure, she'll say she likes Buddy Holly, the Red Sox (or Yankees, or whomever). She is a power-hungry, flip-flopping, opportunistic, hypocritical, manipulative liar. Her alleged experience is fluff: first lady (lady?), carpetbagger Senator, health care advocate (failed first initiative, unexplained second). She cannot be trusted.

Senator Clinton has strength to vote to name Iran Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group (ex. Red Brigade, ETA, Lashkar Jihad, Jewish Defense League, Tamil Tigers, IRA, Weathermen, Animal Liberation Front, Abu Sayyaf, Hezbollah, etc.(Wikipedia, Center for Defense Information)). Did Mr. Obama fail that political test?

To Not so slick willy,-- Anybody can tell yu hates Clinton, so your ponts against her are old and over written. Please.

To rar47<-- Obama missed the vote on Iran, a very calculated move so he didn't needed ti defend it afterwards. That guy started running for president from day one in the U. S Senate and has missed 80% of the votes. All he has done for the last couple of years is promoting his books before in Oprah, then running for President. Guess who has the rights for the movie on his books? Oprah...the sweet Oprah.
I have to admire Obamas audacity for change, he started with himself first, from a almost unknown-nobody in Illinois to God.

Say what you want about Hillary, but she has the intellect, experience and the "think-on-your-feet" qualities that BO lacks. He is not experienced on the national scene, which, in these times, is needed. He does not come across as confident in the debates. Maybe in a couple of terms in the Senate or other federal government service, BO will gain the experience, broad base knowledge and confidence he lacks now.

Indeed, the most effective means to secure a republican win in 2008 is to defeat clinton at the democratic primary. if obama wins the nomination, any republican candidate can easily beat him. the american media is being used by the gop to foster this scenario or else why did you guys use the word "sneered?" obama lacks experience, poltical savvy. period. if democrats would like to return to the white house, then they should nominate clinton. she is the national frontrunner. obama should compare his numbers vis-a-vis the republican candidates. clinton dominates both democrats and republicans. period. what's with iowa? i do not think there would be a bandwagon effect. obama may win iowa but it does not necessarily mean clinton would just hand him the nomination as if it's his birthright. considering that conservative americans are generally more racist than sexist, you will not be hearing 'happy days are here again' in 2008. so clinton or obama? it should be obama on principles, clinton on experience and political will. but clinton if you democrats want to win the presidency.

It is really exciting how the whole exercise is going. WHO IS AFRAID OF OBAMA. We all know how rare this man is, as we are all previlaged to have OBAMA in our generation. His type of men like the JFK, Martin Lurther etc, is what America need at this trying moment.
Please let no one deprive us of this, sentiments should taken off this American project. Lets give Obama the chance to lead this change to a new and better America.

Hilary was leading in polls in the early part of the year, as American thought that Bill Clinton is coming back. Things turn sore lately as Americans are now aware that who she is and the potentials of Obama.
Where best is attainable, Americans do not want to waste time on "good".
That is why the choice of Obama is real and exciting to all.

Obama can't be elected. He can't even show up for votes.

hillary clinton is the woman to be the next president. she is more quailfied than any other candiate running on dem or rep side. the united states needs to elect her see what bill clinton done for the country, the only president to every balance the budget and leave the office with a surplus. i believe hillary clinton can pull us out of it also

Listen up, vote for Hillary and watch the decefit dissapear and the value of the dollar rise. Vote for Hillary or the republicans will rule for at least the next four years, this is the bottom line.
