Desperate woman!

Very desperate woman indeed!
No doubt both bush and Hilary wish they could give as good a speech as Obama

I agreed with Hillary's comparison, this year like with Bush in 200o or the war in Iraq the press and media has giving us a disservice, back then the target was Gore and with the war they were scared to ask question, now the target is the Clintons and they are scared of asking Obama the hard questions, they don't want to be seen like racist.
99% of the coverage on Clinton are their mistakes and flops; while only get is the positive coverage on Obama.
Shame!

Seems that Hillary gave a lot of speeches too, and where is she at? Behind Obama.

With the rhetoric dialing down a little bit of late, I'd hoped this kind of bull pucky was over. However, it is clear that in her desperation, Hillabeans will do just about everything.

Comparing ANY Democrat to Bush is sacriligious! I hope the thinking voters will agree!

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

She absolutly right. No one is asking who Barack is. But here is some insight into who he associates with. Remember his shady house deal? Rezko, who was bankrupt at the time, had his wife purchase the lot next door even though she didn't have the income to support such a transaction. So where did the money come from and why on earth would Barack purchase something he couldn't afford? Why would we want him as the steward of our economy? And who does he associate with. Here's a clue....

Several US political fundraisers are currently on trial for corruption in connection with loans received from Auchi. Auchi is currently barred from entering the US.

Nadhmi Auchi was viewed with a lot of suspicion by the Iraqi opposition to Saddam Hussein's regime, regarding him as a front-man for Saddam's intelligence service.[4] Auchi was involved in several multi-billion dollar business deals in the post-Saddam era too, such as the Orascom mobile phone network (IraqNa), and at least one power generation contract involving Chicago-based tycoon Antoin Rezko and Iraq's former Minister of Electricity, Aiham Alsamarrae, who has been convicted over corruption charges in Iraq and is now living in Chicago.

There's your change you can believe in.....Wright.

I think that Hillary is throwing away everything. If she can't be President then she doesn't want to be anything. Certainly the VP spot is out, and likely she will not complete her term in the Senate

Is she saying that Obama is tryin to inherit the presidency like the previous guy?

Hillary is right on!!! If obama was truely against the war he would not vote to fund it period. Plus his uniter not a divider speech, thats classic Bush speech, seems to be working for obama. See the trend? He lacks the experience, the judgement. If Hillary voted no on the war N.Y. would have been real pissed. They seem to agree with her, she won her state. Now everyone knows the truth on the war, she is going to fix it.

Is she saying that Obama is a compassionate Conservative?

Bills earns from his blah=blah-blah speaches. And she likes it.

All HRC does is destroy Obama, tell lies and ask her advisers to wink at the foreign govt. and then turn it against Obama. I think she should step down and stop destroying our democracy.

And another story she speaks of is discredited - the story of the poor, pregant woman who was turned away...another lie - like running from the snipers!

Just like the stories she will be telling if she gets elected, no doubt!

And now she is comparing herself to him, gasp! But if he isn't good enough then why do that?

And still trying to switch the delegates votes, and get the rule breaker states to get their voices heard. In my world, everyone is a winner, there will be no losers!

Give it up HRC, you are looking more and more like the person who will do anything to get elected.

"Compairs"?

Come on ABC. I'm used to illiterates on these comment pages. Surely your reporters actually speak and write English.

Can't you afford a dictionary?

Obama is even worst than Bush.

Bush was at least the successful Governor of Texas. Bush had more credentials befitting that of the President of the United States.

Noone will ever question the patriotism of George Bush.

Noone will ever question the patriotism of Laura Bush ...

Obama is far worst than Bush ..

Hey NoComparison -

Why are you people who have absolulity no idea of what experience or quailifications are necessary to run for the presidency suddenly the experts?

I suppose that JFK's bootlegger daddy who made his fortune from illegal activities gave him the credentials?

Give me a break -

I kind of like the story that Obama told about the soldiers that were stealing Taliban weapons because they didn't have any of their own.

@NoObama....

Interesting... what about the basket ball throw that went into the basket the very first time -

All HRC does is destroy Obama, tell lies and ask her advisers to wink at the foreign govt. and then turn it against Obama.

Does it not bother you that rather than talk policies and how this economy will be turned around, we are here smearing people? Does it not bother you that in february we lost 65,000 jobs and forfeited 80,000 jobs in March? does it not bother you that people are loosing their homes and the economy is going into a recession? In what way will Obama bashing and Clinton smearing help... We spend hours and days bashing these people and yet after that these issues are still there. I think what we ought to do in these blogs is look into the policies of these people, do the research and then make a decision to support a candidate.

Oh!!! btw: I am an informed conservative republican. I don't follow the MSM or talk show hosts hook, line and sinking.

We know this much about Obama: He started running for President before his first Senate term was finished. He has had a 17-year relationship with Rezko whose trial has yet to be completed. He has written untruths in his books about when and how his mother and father married. He was untruthful when he tried to drammatize how his father came to this country with help from John Kennedy. He plaigiarized "his" famous "words" speech, a speech already given by Deval Patrick. He has lied about the sources of his campaign money. He had a shady deal with Rezko and his wife to buy his home and adjacent property, and continues to lie about it. He has had a 20-year relationship with his pastor, friend, and spiritual advisor who has thousands of words with ranting and raving hatred sermons condemning America and "damning" America. That is just the surface. He had a lot of audacity to run when he had so little experience, but, we know that people like Kerry and Kennedy urged him to run. They think that the American voter will follow their lead. Not this time. We have seen a great lack of wisdom and experience in his words and decisions. We have seen too much double talk in the debates, his speeches, and his decisions.

Without the news media living up to good journalistic ethics, while blasting Hillary Clinton at every turn, we appear to find most of what we know about him by accident. If only he had not resorted to the Republican playbook in one of the first debates with Hillary and Edwards by saying Hillary was "untrustworthy", he might have appeared to be an honest person. His call for change and unity and bringing everyone together are just soundbites. That much we know, and he has cooked his own goose.

Face the truth Hillary fans!

The democratic party has been hijacked by progressive (liberal) minorities. With their friends in the media, your poor candidate didn't have a chance. Honestly now, which alternative best suits your political disposition? Moderate republicans or elitist democrats bent on socializing the world.

Think hard!

Yeah a compassionate conservative that shows no compassion and a self proclaimed uniter that can't even unite his own party.

Don't fall for the tripe these two candidates are feeding you. Vote for a person who actually cares for the public. Vote Nader!

sadstateofaffairs has it right. Obama has not been honest about Rezko and his close relationships with the worst kinds in Illinois politics. Unfortunately the MSM will not cover it in detail They treat any issue involving Obama as old news. sadstateofaffairs there is a book in this about how the MSM stole the election.

Sorry? Standing up in 2002 against the Iraq war is, for a state senator, not a decision?

Hillary was 'critical' of the war before Obama was? Is that why she supported the idea of a military "SOLUTION" for the conflict with Iraq in the Senate even before she handed Gaorge W. Bush the right to invade and occupy the country?

Do we want a President who lives in a topsy turvy world?

In that 2002 speech Obama said, among many other things:
"I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda."

Isn't that a proof of sound judgment on day 1?

From that same speech:

"You want a fight, President Bush? Let’s finish the fight with Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, through effective, coordinated intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, and a homeland security program that involves more than color-coded warnings."

And it ain't a decision, to stand up and tell the President this in a publiced speech?

I feel Hillary is losing some mental sanity, and all what was left of her sincerity and good manners. And her supporters simply think 'she's right' again. My o my. Well, her fellow Senators certainly do not, for they admire Obama for having had the courage to speak out when they failed to do the same.

ROTFLMAO Not a pretty picture? Check out the Clinton tax returns and the 4 investors that are under indictment right now LOL Go ahead hon if you think that line of attack is anything more than just that...a stupid line of attack.

Hillary is a desperate woman who has real problems with the truth and now she is tossing away her chance at relection as a senator because NY won't forget what she is doing to the democratic party....all she really does to healthy people these days is make them want to toss their cookies....go ahead Hill and try to lure the elected delegates to the dark side after stating Feb. 23th that you would never do that......just like you disenfranchised the voters in FL and MI a year ago but now that you need them, your screaming like an insane monkey.

Did someone say "CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION"? For the longest time, I could not for the life of me figure out why Kennedy, Kerry, Richarson et al were backing Obama. Zero credentials! Could it be that this Auchi fellow has been penetrating U.S. politics for decades? Pilfering taxpayers coffers while filling politicians pockets?

There is much more to Obama and the traitors who are backing him then meets the eye. I bet the Republicans can't wait!

Travelgate, Bosnia, Whitewater, NAFTA, Ireland, 9/11 ....we can do this one all day and you will lose D because your candidate is a neferious liar and the facts are not just inuendo which is why she is losing in all counts and her polls are at the lowest they have ever been.

Obama was elected to office 3 times and served a total of 8 years before he decided to run for President. Geesh I wish you Clinton people would at least try to factual.

Obama is a liar, Brian. apple and oranges. Hillary,in some polls has her beating mccain, and obama isn't, so pick a poll that suits your boy.

I am a Clinton supporter and making the final decision to go for McCain if she fails to win the nomination. I am sick and tired of these Obama guys!

SHE IS SAYING THIS...
Wake up all you fools who are following Obama so blindly! This is the same BS that happened in 2000 and then 2004 - a bunch of idiots choosing a president on likability and who they would rather have a beer with rather than selecting a president with ideas, solutions and experience to run this country. I thought after almost 8 years of Bush Americans would be smarter. If Obama is nominated he WILL NOT win the general election and we will again have a republican running the white house. If he is lucky enough to win the nomination and the general he will flounder around not knowing how to get anything done (look at his track record) and the republicans will ambush him repetitively and not one promise made by him will be delivered upon.
My only complaint with Clinton making this comparison is that she didn't make it earlier.

No. Obama is stealing the nomination with him not counting all the votes. WRIGHT!

Sam,

Under which presidency did Americans prosper the most, in your lifetime?

Sorry, comparing anybody to Bush is the ultimate insult. Grandpa mccain should be driving a golf cart, not a campaign.

When Clinton was asked about her Iraq war vote, she defended herself by saying that she was critical of the war before Obama was, and that she was the one who made a decision.

Yeah she was critical alright after she signed on.But when did the critical thinking take place?
Always a dollar late and a day too short

Many Americans were against the war back in 2002 and with a similar reasoning and logic like Sen Obama did. Should we get all of them into the White House? Most democrats hold the same principal when it comes to our foreign policies, which is engaging in dialogue rather than constantly demonstrating our hegemonic power. And most believe that both of them would govern by this principal. However, Sen Obama has shown weaknesses in substance. Sen Clinton's attack is right on target.

Hillary never gave up on the voters in flo. and mich. If she did, she would have taken her name off the ballets. they agreed not to campaign in those states, which meant those states would lose money from them campaigning. On election night all the media said was these votes could still count if this race is close. Bosnia, that was not good. How about Obama on the media questionaire he claims he never filled out in 96 and now they have proof he did fill it out and now he is claiming still he didn't do it? Seems the media isn't hitting this very much.

I'd say that Senator Obama's voting behavior during the war is a sound indication that he has been as concerned about American soldiers doing the dirty job in Bush's war as any American patriot, and that his speech against waging the Iraq war was not some sentimental anti-war stand from some pacifist idealist.

"I don’t oppose all wars," he repeated a few times in that speech. And he clearly saw that since the USA was trapped in the dirty guerilla fights in Iraq, our people and army over there would need all possible means to overcome that extremely hazardous and unfortunate situation.

A situation they never would have been in (and 4000 American lives that would not have been lost) when it had been Obama who as a President had started our war against the Islamic terrorists who want to kill as many Americans as possible.

Thanks to Bush, Clinton, McCain and others they killed 4000 since they killed 3000 on 9/11. THAT is the major and most telling part of Clinton's 'experience'. She should be ashamed about playing word games with all this.

I just hope she pays all the people her campaign owes money to on the way out.

Sen. Hillary Clinton went further than she has before drawing a comparison between Sen. Barack Obama and President Bush, saying he gave a lot of "speeches" too, but lacked "specifics."
The problem is she always has specifics but never and i mean follows through with her agenda. Just because she said it does not mean that it is gods honest truth.
Scorch and burn Clinton.
She cant be that good, Jimmy left it hanging, but you figure he all but said he is going for Barack.
She will try her best, but it will never happen.
She was just hoping that the mere mention of Rev, Wright would do him in. Sorry people are smarter than she has counted on. The fat lady is about to sing.
People just do not like her politics. Like she owns it.

Wright issues is still huge. It will be a big factor in his run. Uniter not a divider, sound pretty darn close to the same speech tone to me.

I can't wait to hear Obama's resignation speech

In what may be a sign of the wear and tear the campaign is taking on Clinton, it appears as though she is not getting much sleep. She said she is averaging about three hours a night.

Oh God here we go again it was sleep deprivation. What did she do or say now?
She really didn't mean to sign the war declaration.. She was sleep deprived.

Well it is kind of hard to sleep ..when your goal to win is not in the cards.
Don't worry it will be over soon. She will not be receiving no 3am crisis calls.

"I wouldn’t be getting up at 5 a.m. and going to bed at 2 a.m. if I didn’t believe I would be the better candidate to beat John McCain," Clinton said to a cheering crowd.

John will eat her up and spit her out. He and his cronies have enough on her to ruin any career in politics she might still aspire to.

Hillary is the closet republican,and probably will join the republican party if she doesn't get the nod. This is why she is trying to destroy it,she and bill are finish with democratic party and is set on totally destroying it if they don't get what they want. Obama supported funding the war because Bush has these soldiers in Iraq dying for nothing,while pull their financial support as well.Why add injury to insult.They have already been insulted being sent to fight a war based on a lie,why should their financial support be cut off as well.

More Hillary lies!

Let's see:

McCain has experience and is a true American heroe.

Nader will fight the big corporate interests.

Obama--green.

Hillary--the most qualified.

Write-in Candidate?

After going to that church for 20 years, the only War Obama would vote for, would be US against US

What specifics hasn't Obama given? Hillary's stolen quite a few of them! He has on his website his exact plans and had been talking about them in Iowa what she is just now quoting! And what about her specifics regarding the sniper fire and now the poor woman and her baby who died in the hospital... all false and bogus information. Unfortunatley for us, Hillary cannot be trusted. She would have made an o.k. VP, but her specifics are copied from Barack and her lies are outrageous. That hospital she's been lying about is angry, the Bosnian people are angry... Some "solution" she would make as President! The real solution is to choose the BEST person for the job, Obama is the solution!

It's not fair to compare Obama to Bush,saying that Obama like Bush is a compassionate conservative. We all know that any one who only gives 1% of their income to charity could never be called compassionate. He is not conservative either he is more like CHEAP! Even Bush gave more than that! Liberals talk about helping the poor as long as its tax payer dollars and not their own!

Hillary is the closet republican,and probably will join the republican party if she doesn't get the nod. This is why she is trying to destroy it,she and bill are finish with democratic party and is set on totally destroying it if they don't get what they want. Obama supported funding the war because Bush has these soldiers in Iraq dying for nothing,while pull their financial support as well.Why add injury to insult.They have already been insulted being sent to fight a war based on a lie,why should their financial support be cut off as well.

She has to make it look good. convincing

THIS WOMAN IS A NUT CASE AND GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY..SHE HAS LOST IT.

Has the media forgot Obama's fictional debate story as told to his aide by a disgruntled ex-soldier?

The Fat lady sang and it was Hillary. She is finished

How is it that Senator Clinton claims that she has been toughened by hard elections? She carpetbagged into New York and had to face Rick Lazio in 2000 and then John Spencer in 2006.

Hell, Wuffy the Wonder Dog could have knocked off those two stiffs. Just what has she earned that makes her Rocky?

Geevill,

You are really dishonest. The Obama story you mentioned was never denied. In fact during a hearing before a House committee, on top commander confirm the very likelihood of the story, saying that at the time most the efforts were being put in Irak. He specifically said that the story was very plausible.

Come on, be a bit honest. You don't have to twist the facts all the time.

Everyday goes by, Hillary and Bill continues to make a spectacle of themselves. Perhaps she's at a point of no return because of this upcoming trial which may land them in jail. So the Clinton's mindset NOW is, everyone's going down with us.

"COMPAIRS"??? The person who wrote that headline should be sent to remedial spelling class.

Senator's Clinton's comparison is correct in several aspects.

George W. Bush has lied without reservation to the American people on many occassions and continues to do so.

Barack Obama has lied without reservation to the the American people on many occassions and continues to do so.

Regardless of what any other politician is saying or doing, both Bush and Obama lack the ability to be truthful.

Also, Barack Obama heralds his speech opposing the war while he was still a state senator.

As a U.S. Senator, Obama has had numerous opportunities to vote against the war and did not--if he was there to vote.

Comparing Obama's willingness to mislead and lie to that of George W. Bush is entirely appropriate.

Obama is much worse than Bush. Bush is not as smooth as Obama.

Fellow Hillary supporters, it's time to get behind her rival, Senator Barack Obama.

The exposure of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.'s outrageous and divisive remarks has injected the raw emotions associated with race relations into the presidential campaign. This new dynamic raises the stakes in an already high-stakes race. Our responsibility as progressive-minded voters is to show Americans a positive alternative to the toxic politics of race. Rallying around Obama now increases our chances of doing just that. Obama has run a positive and inspiring campaign, and has attracted a majority of pledged delegates. It is hard to envision a scenario in which Democratic superdelegates override the will of millions of primary voters and caucus participants. Obama will be the nominee.

Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding Wright presents Republicans with a polarizing wedge issue to exploit with general election voters. This approach not only risks an Obama loss in November - denying us a fresh, capable leader - but it would set the country back in its racial reconciliation process. Americain 2008 should be better than that.

As we have done at many key junctures in our nation's history, Democrats and other progressive-minded voters must lead the way. The current firestorm is an opportunity to move beyond the anger and resentment that have characterized our nation's dialogue on race. By throwing our enthusiastic support behind Obama now, voters of all political stripes can echo the candidate's refrain, "Not this time."

There have been many moments in our history when we failed to heed that call. Twenty years ago, as a staffer of Governor Michael Dukakis's presidential campaign, I observed the use of the now-famous "Willie Horton" ad to undermine a good man's character, fan the flames of racial division and distract voters from the most important issues of the time.

Not this time. We have an opportunity to show that we have learned from our mistakes. The first step, which Obama took in his recent speech on race, was to condemn Wright's offensive rhetoric.

The second step is in our hands: Strengthen Obama as the Democratic nominee by uniting behind him now. Amplify his postpartisan message to American voters. Families in Pennsylvania, like those across America, are feeling insecure about their jobs, healthcare, their children's education, and the safety of the nation. They want leaders to be bold and practical in addressing our most serious challenges, and to work across party lines to achieve results. Obama promises to do that.

Those of us who have supported Clinton and continue to believe that she would be an excellent president can play an important part in moving our nation forward by supporting Obama. We can spread the word that he offers the right leadership for these challenging times.

Our support would send a powerful message that the United States is headed in a new direction - on race relations, certainly, but perhaps most importantly, on what it means to be an American.

Obama learned his ability to tell the smooth lies from shady characters like Rezco and Rev. Wright.

109 million, First Lady, well known name, the biggest political might in the Democratic Party, an Ex President Campaigning for her, running against a Jr Senator, and she acts like a victim.

I would feel sorry for her but it would just support habit

Hillary will keep her promises and Obama is so inexperienced he will be lost in Washington. He does not have a grasp of the issues.

Absolutely! Hillary was the one to make the decision to vote fo the war in Iraq and what a decision it was. We have 4000+ of our honored men and women in uniform in coffins thanks to that wise decision.

If the Republicans who did not like George Bush in 2000 had voted Democrat instead of sticking with their party do or die, we would not have had George Bush for President. Perhaps the Hillary people are smarter and will save the country from Obama if he is the nominee.
Hillary '08

Obama will not get out of Iraq until 2010. This means there will be more killing.

I've been supporting Clinton on here for months now. But these constant reports are draining. Maybe it is time for her to pack it in. I'm just tired of all of this. Every day it gets worse.

Obama 08

Hillary only voted to give George Bush the option to go to war if necessary. George Bush is the man responsible for for going to war.

Do you really think Hillary was the only Dem to vote for the war initiative? What about Dodd, Edwards, Kerry, Rockefeller, Biden etc etc

28 Democratic senators also voted for it not just Hillary. 4 of the the guys above also were contenders for the Dem nomination for President. They made a bad judgment in 2004 and they made another one when they decided to support Obama. Some people never learn.
Hillary '08

Bush, Cheney, and Obama are all cousins. All were silver spoon babies. All went to elite private schools and ivy league universities. All had wealthy parents (do the research on Obama's fathers and grandparents as well as his mother). Clinton was raised in a middle class family, worked hard to advance in a male dominated field, and still took the time over the years to be a human rights activist and donated the same amount of money to charity that she made from her books. Clinton backs her words with substantive plans and can discuss them in such detail and command of the issues that it is clear she wrote the plans. Obama talks and talks about hope and can only parrot Clinton's plans and those he got from former candidates. Obama voted to support Cheney's bill for energy companies while Clinton voted against it. Bush's wealth is directly related to energy companies and Obama is a large recipient of monies from law firms and management of energy companies. Her comparison to Bush and Cheney is valid on several points.

McCain's wife is worth 100 mill. Clinton's husband is worth 100 mill. Obama's wife received a raise and promotion from 121K to 316K after Obama pushed through funding to her employer. She has been on leave of absence still drawing that salary so that she can campaign with him. At least Clinton and McCain have spouses with legitimate wealth while Obama's spouses source of increasing wealth appears questionable from an ethics perspective. The same is true for Obama with his purchase of shares in a biotech company just before he pushed through legislation that increased the stock value of that same biotech firm. When a bill was proposed to prohibit Senators from working other jobs while they are US Senators, Obama voted against it because that would mean he could not write his books that were in progress at the time. Look beyond the MSM hype and you will find the real information about all the candidates. There is no doubt the RNC will be making the information more public for the GE race. Clinton's negatives are well known. Obama's negatives are being played down by the MSM for now. If Obama gets the nom, the RNC will eat him for lunch.

Obama did not vote for the war because he wasn't in the Senate at the time and could not vote.

I've been supporting Clinton on here for months now. But these constant reports are draining. Maybe it is time for her to pack it in. I'm just tired of all of this. Every day it gets worse.

Obama 08

West Coast messenger:
Hillary Clinton has been taking garbage from all sides for over a year. If you were really a Hillary supporter you would never give up. She's not a quitter and neither are her core supporters. It's not over yet. Wait until the Rezko stuff starts again next week. Obama will not be able to make a speech and have it go away. Hillary '08

To the person posting the entire NYT article: that is a gross copy-right violation.

to Jackt51:
Barack went to all the Chicago newspapers and said they could ask him anything about Rezko and he would answer them. He spent about 80 mins average at each. ALL the Chicago Newspapers said they were satisfied with his explanations INCLUDING those who OPPOSE him.

You mention this only because you have basicly nothing left to say of any worth. Get a better candidate!

it was here under hillary clinton
just scroll all the way down you'll see it

The president gave the order to go to war. Hillary didn't!

The sad sad thing is so many suckers are taken in by Obama's "speachifying" wow he sounds great! The good thing is that he will be the nominee and the Dems wont be in office when McCain wins. Hilary will "knee-cap" Obama no doubt about it.

mpwdc - Don't you get it? It's bigger than Clinton, and it's bigger than Obama. We are Democrats. I want to see a unified party. Every day that we spend tearing each other down is a day that the Republicans get stronger. I like Hillary Clinton. But enough is enough. If roles were reversed and the momentum was against Obama, we would both be saying he should exit the race. The same rules apply for Hillary.

Face it. We lost. Now let's make sure that the Democrats win.

Bill Richardson is like a mouse going after a piece of cheese.

He couldn't have done it without her. To absolve her from accountability on this topic for the sake of politics is reckless. Especially since she is running on her "experience" and used that to okay our invasion.

mpwdc - Don't you get it? It's bigger than Clinton, and it's bigger than Obama. We are Democrats. I want to see a unified party. Every day that we spend tearing each oth
