Good luck Obama! And thanks for giving Hillary more ammunition and more justification to scrutinize you even more!!! Bring it on! ;)

Does he really know who is taking on? Hillary doesn't take crap from anyone! Especially an all-talk, no-action, Mr. Obama! If he really wants HEAT, then it's about to come his way...

It's a very interesting story, to say the least. Sounds like he's ready to get his hands muddy. If that's the case, then where's the evidence of the "change" he keeps harping on?

I say bring it on! If anyone can handle it, it's Clinton! If she fires back, he won't be able to hold on.

This just shows how clueless he is. There's nothing unknown about Hillary and he wants to dig then let the digging begin. He'll be locked up in the Big House before it's all said and done and he can kiss the White House goodbye!

I found his comments interesting. Really how can he say she don't have experience? Like we are suppose to buy his so called judgement. What about the judgment on connections with Rezko and the Nafta thing he lied about. I don't believe anything he says.

But that's typical O-talk. If judgment is in his favor, he's going to push it. If it's not, he's going to push it under the rug. His campaign still won't clarify Rezko. Here's hoping the trial does. :D

In threatening to "take on" Clinton, he is indeed digging his own grave. Go ahead I say. If he wants a fight, he's taking on the wrong person! ;)

His "judgment" skills are appalling. They are the last thing I would be promoting if I was him!

Axelrod his attack dog said just now "Hillary Clinton has not even begun to be vetted."

Oh?? I say bring it ON because if he thinks Obama has then he is in for a ride of his life!!

This is B.S. and shows totally wrong headed thinking. So he's running a campaign of peace, love and harmony but, the first time she runs one ad which HE deemed "negative" he throws a tantrum by responding with a copy ad, then he says he's going after her.

The pretzel logic is so hard to follow! She can then come back and point out the huge discrepancy in what he said all along about "hope" and "change" since it's his WHOLE message, not being so true anymore. :p

Actually, I think Obama's very unwise, new campaign strategy is very much to Clinton's benefit:

1. Clinton has been vetted for 15 years. Obama has been vetted for one week. Who's got more to lose? Yes, Obama, big time!

2. Obama has run his entire campaign on this ridiculous fallacy that he is above "dirty politics", above "negative" campaigning. His willingness to now go into full "attack" mode demonstrates how untrustworthy and how unbelievable his "words" really are.

3. Clinton can endure and survive attacks. She has been strengthened by 15 years of abuse from various quarters. Obama, in his narcissistic world, completely "loses it" when the smallest of criticisms are thrown his way. Let's just watch him completely decompensate and fall apart when the REAL criticisms and attacks begin...

He is making a big mistake going down this path. But I really think doing so will help Hillary Clinton.

BRING IT ON!

Oh we're SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO scared! Puhleeeze, what's more to know about Hillary that the public hasn't devoured yet? I saw a snippet w/Axelrod today on Italian TV and he just could not get over last night!:p Watch him try to morph into the new Karl Rove.:rolleyes:

Would be perfect, since his Candidate is a taller thinner version of Bush. Not to mention all the days he's taking at home in Chicago rather than oversee his committee in the Senate or campaigning. If he were to get elected he and Bush could compete for who took the most vaction days during their Presidency:)

Okay, it is back to blogging. I will be passing this new forum on to the Central Coast Hillary 08 team here in California. This is very exciting.

And, at this point, after all the months of research and watching debates, I have come to the conclusion that Obama does not know how to listen!

First, we know that he a good speaker but what people do not see is that if he is not deceiving people on purpose then he is really not as smart as we thought.

Second, I think that Obama made the claim that he is ahead of delegate race when he is within 2% points ahead, approximately 32,000 voter cast votes. That is nothing to claim victory over.

Third, Obama has been criticizing HR Clinton since day one of his campaign. He keeps acting like he has not said a critical thing about her. Really, he needs to get a new line.

He is such a two face ***. My daughter just put the TV on news for a currant event article she has to do and I heard his comment on the plane about where Hillary has been the last few months? Not in Washington pushing middle class agenda!!! Has he forgotten he has abandon his responsibilities for two years not just few months?

Excellent. The more people we can assemble and link together here, the more powerful we can be as a collective, online force!

I can't bear listening to anything he has to say anymore. If I hear his voice, I switch the station or press mute. I can't tolerate the dishonesty, propaganda and sheer ARROGANCE.

His campaign is negative to the core and has been since day one. He has "risen" on a wave of male privilege and consciously and explicity tapped into the sexism which still exists in this society, all for his benefit. The ongoing oppression of women is in his best interests as it serves to elevate his status. His willingness to take advantage of such privilege and to base an entire campaign on this premise is deplorable and shows just how far away from democratic principles he really is. To me he's no democrat. He's an opportunist who will take advantage of whoever, whenever, as long as it serves his agenda. If this includes taking advantage of social groups traditionally marginalized in society (women, african-americans, gays/lesbians) than he has no hesitation in doing so - and has done so.
