Sign of the Times? Clinton At Half Price

Share

May 12, 2008 2:20 PM

ABC News' Kate Snow reports: Surely this can't be a good omen for Senator Hillary Clinton.

The pundits can argue all they want, her campaign may protest that she's still in the game, but at the "America!" souvenir shops at Dulles International and Reagan National airports, the signs are clear as day.

"Sale!" "Clearance!" "50% off!" they blare.

A pink t-shirt with an image of Clinton's head and the words "Madame President 2008: Making History." 

A black t-shirt that reads "Anyone but Hillary" with a drawing of the famous "scream" painting. 

The "Hillary for President" bobblehead.  And oh yes, even the Hillary nutcracker, "with stainless steel thighs."  All are marked half off.

A store employee says the products went on sale last Friday.

He says it's not meant to be a political statement, just a practical business decision.  Seems sales of Clinton merchandise have slowed way down since last week's loss in North Carolina and squeaker in Indiana. 

Not every Clinton souvenir is on sale, just the items they have large stocks of in the warehouse.  The employee said the store is worried they might get stuck holding a lot of merchandise they can never sell.

If a white person vote for Clintons (like in West Virginia) it is racist ...when 92% BLACKs vote for a BLACK MAN over someone they 2 years ago still Called lovingly " the Fisrt Black President" and that is NOT racist???????? Am I missing something here ???? this is totally crazy ....White is the only race that is capable of being RACISTS?????? although Obama sat in Wright's Church for 20 years and listened to those "whites injected blacks with HIV" stuffs , he somehow immuned to that??? This country is getting more and more stupid every day ....I use to have sympathy for the blacks people , but somehow , I see the Clearer pictures now, those who cry WOLF are NOT always the victims....it it weird , but true ...HOW in the Heck someone got 92% support from an ethnic group is totally beyond me ...and this is 92% over the Clintons ( the first Black President ) now , not just anybody ....There need to be more HOnesty in America ,....call it for what it is , black and white alike , if it is racist , then please have the courage to call it what it is ...if a white person vote his color , you call him racist , now some of the 92% of the black just vote their color and no one has the gut to call it RACIST...the media is coward , the whole liberal wing of the DEM. is coward and even the REPUBLICANs are coward ...in trying to be politically correct , in trying to carter to the Ultra-Liberals San Franciscan , in trying to prevent another black riot, people are loosing their Spines....they became coward....God Help Them ...because they are sure NOT trying to help themselves .....My view about blacks changed from this Election...I will vote Mc Cain if not Hillary .....Enough of this injustice and discriminative stuffs...Enough of this cowardice....

All Obama and his supporters said the the Superdelegates should not go against the WILL OF THE PEOPLE well the popular vote is the WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
This RACE is NOT OVER!

Steve Moore

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

Yes, Steve, that is what he said. And in that case, Senators Kennedy and Kerry will be casting their votes for Senator Clinton, right? I love it, I love it.

Simply there is no way Obama can unite Dems behind him just based on the culted fans he has in this blog....

Americans will vote by their heart and their belief NOT by the number or any political party!!

So if West Virginia and Kentucky do not vote for your boy Obama than so many Obama supporters say they are RACIST. That is the problem with this election, so many Obama supporters are the ones who are RACIST and use the RACE card when ever someone does not agree with them. It is so many Obama supporters that have divided the party and have thrown the Clinton's under the bus just like Obama did to his Grandmother and his Pastor. The Clinton's have done more for minorities than anyone else. People like you are responsible for what is going to happen and that is most of us Hillary Clinton supporters will now vote for McCain. Anyone but Obama.

Hillary’s political career is over if she doesn’t whole heartedly campaign for Obama. He’s got millions of supporters/donors who would be so angry that any democrat who challenged her senate seat in NY would get flooded with cash. Even if she does go full tilt for Barack, if her base doesn’t turn out in the general election for Obama she’s still toast. Her political survival depends on Obama winning the general election.

Even at a 50% discount, any merchandise pertaining to Hillary is GROSSLY OVERPRICED!!!

Nat Turner ...Sometimes you have to have the gut to make hard choices....
1/ John Mc Cain made the hard choice of enduring torture and NOT collaborated with the NOrth Vietnamese and came home a war heroes .
2/ Hillary made the hard choice of enduring the Bias of the party Powers and the media that are Biased against her and fight on for what is right and we support her , as well as most Whites, working-class, women , seniors (your moms and dads that is) , Latinos, Asians , people from Ohio , Phila. , Texas....
3/ Leonidas of the 300 spartans made the hard choice of fighting to the finish agains the Persians and thus be remembered 'til this day..
4/ Abraham Lincoln made the hard choice of going against Slavery and we had the US of A that is free for all today ...
5/ I will make the hard choice to call RAcism when I see it , in the case white agaisnt Blacks OR in the case of 92% of blacks voters against a White woment and if that choice means that I will stay alone on a beautiful island away from all ya San Franciscan elitists than so be it......Better to be alone and hang around fools....

The one who cry Wolf is NOT always the Victims...ha ha ha ....I can see how that is true now....

i think Obama is not to be trusted anyone who gives up his dear father religon to be a polition can not be trusted or respected

Posted by: enas sayed | May 12, 2008 5:20:34 PM

Well , Nat Turner ...Let me give you some History lesson here ...yes , you do not have a choice to become POW , but when you did become one , you as son and grandson of Admirals will have the choice of going on TV , voluntarily selling out your buddies and country the way Jane Fonda and John Kerry did OR , say NO to that Communist propaganda craps and head straight to the torture chamber...Now Is that Not a hard choice ?? ...well , may be NOT for someone like you who will probably follow Hanoi Jane's example ...but to endure torture is hard for anyone who is flesh and bone , unless you are not ready to make that choice ...So , there you have it ...spin it all you like ...Your Obama Candidate will not stand a slim chance against a WAR HERO , much less after listening to those "God Damn America" stuffs .....As a matter of fact , beside the Clintons who have guide us through the "longest prosperity "in US history , I do not see anyone capable enough against MC Cain...Obama ???? , Oh Pleazzzzzzzzz......The black vote would probably give him 10-15% in the General Election MAX.....Wake up and smell the next 4 years of Republican.....
