Those are the kinds of statements I'm hearing all around the blogosphere and in the main-stream media. Give me a break! Hillary was asked a question and she answered it honestly. What would you people want her to do? Lie? Nod in agreement with Obama's positions? I think not.
Kudos to Sen. Clinton for finally saying what millions of Americans feel concerning the Obama-Wright issue. Many don't realize just how many relate to what she said. The "latte-liberals" and the inside D.C. crowd just can't fathom how anyone can disagree with Obama and his pastor. Well I have news for them: "main street" cares; the Reagan-Democrats care; and they agree with what Hillary Clinton said today. It still amazes me how outraged and amazed so many are with Hillary's statements. What do we want from our candidates? To shut up and never express their feelings? I, for one, want to hear their opinions. And, I'd be willing to bet, millions of Democrats agree with her opinion.

I'm still waiting on your posts on Hillary's blatant lies; her misspeaks. Not one time, not twice but at least three times she told the same lie, in prepared and memorized speeches.
Face it, Hillary Clinton is as big a liar as her husband was and if you really want to judge someone by the company they keep, look at all of the Clinton cronies who were indicted and spent jail time during the glorious Clinton years.
I'm glad that Hillary playing the race card to try and divert attention away from her being caught in yet another lie doesn't bother you, because just like Hillary, her staunch supporters get more like the republicans every day and the deeper she goes into the political gutter for potential gains, the harder it's going to be for her to ever get elected to any higher position than the one she now occupies. I know I'll never vote for her.
Of course, even if she miraculously does manage to steal this nomination and since she's boldly stated she'd leave her church if it ever made such statements, Come June she'll have to explain her connection to "the family".
^1) Okay, well just last week Obama gave an economic speech where he said that Congress should pass a bill that he and Chris Dodd put forward. The only problem: he didn't. Chris Dodd put it forth. Obama simply expressed support for it, as did Clinton. He, however, in no way, wrote the bill.
But, honestly, I think he misspoke as well. I don't blame him for it. It wasn't the truth, yet I'm not calling it a lie. People misspeak. Their humans.
2) Race Card?!?!?!?!?! When will you and others realize that I'm not racist. I could care less what race Jeremiah Wright is. What he said was wrong and hateful. In the past, I had been just as critical of Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, etc., and they are all white. IT just so happens they aren't tied to a particular candidate.
Obama and his supporters really miss the point if they think the only problem people have with Wright is that he's black. That's not the problem. The problem is what he said.
3) I also recall a time when you said that you would never vote for Obama. We've seen how that turned out...
Way to go for Senator Clinton speaking her mind. Keep it up Senator. It is obvious anonymous is a republican in hiding. He failed to mention there was a 5 year investigation of President Clinton concerning Whitewater which conclusion found no basis for the investigation and no charges against him or Hillary. Republicans are good at trying to link the people they dislike to others who may break the law. The president did lie about an affair. So did many republicans to numerous to list here but anonymous knows who they are.

MY RESPONSE: No. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton trying to paint Obama with guilt by association when the Clintons themselves have always surrounded themselves with criminals.
Btw, when is Hillary going to release her tax returns? It'd be interesting to see how they went from owning in the six figures to being multi-millionaires in her short tenure in the senate.
Here ya go... Let Pat Buchanan help you guys out. He's not quite as subtle as the Clinton camp!!
Pat Buchanan: "What is wrong with Barack’s prognosis and Barack’s cure? Only this. It is the same old con, the same old shakedown that black hustlers have been running since the Kerner Commission blamed the riots in Harlem, Watts, Newark, Detroit and a hundred other cities on, as Nixon put it, “everybody but the rioters themselves.”[..]
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America.
Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.
This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.
Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ’60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream."
Let's just go ahead and call a spade a spade. hell, quit beating around the Bush.
