That Didn’t Take Long

The Hillary Clinton presidential campaign is already using the “monster” comment from a Barack Obama aide to help raise money for her campaign.
Clinton’s campaign manager Terry McAuliffe, a Syracuse native, sent out this fundraising appeal this afternoon.
Dear Friend,
Just one day after Senator Obama promised to begin attacking Hillary, a senior Obama advisor has called her a “monster.”
That’s right—a “monster.”
At the same time, Senator Obama’s aides have begun rehashing the old negative attacks of the 90’s against Hillary.
This is not the politics of hope—it’s the usual attack style politics that we have seen time and time again.
And it must stop.
Only you can make that happen. A small contribution now—even as little as $5—will show the Obama campaign that there is a price to this kind of attack politics.
Make a contribution to stop the Obama attacks.
You and I know Hillary is a fighter—she has been fighting for what she believes in for 35 years, and as president, she’s going to fight for us. So let’s make sure she knows we have her back.
Thank you,
Terry McAuliffe
Chairman, Hillary Clinton for President

So why was this Obama aide not fired instead? OH YEAH! that’s right, Obama doesn’t fire anyone who fouls on his team, just like Bush!! Hillary has held every last one of her aides accountable for this kind of thing, Obama has shown every time on the other hand what he would do as President, protect his cronies and never fire them and hold them accountable!! just like Bush!! Voting for Barrack Obama is a HUGE mistake! Hillary Clinton has the integrity to lead honestly and fairly as this one of many examples like it once again proves.
Are we simply deciding to ignore the countless times Hillary herself has attacked Obama’s character?
Clinton is a Monster, I’m happy Samantha Powers said it!
Powers for VP, a woman who is educated and has balls to say it how it is.
As a woman, I had long respected Hillary back since her days in the White House. But after this past week’s distorted attacks on Barack Obama and especially after yesterday’s press conference where she praised John McCain and herself as “experienced” candidates while belittling Obama in the same sentence, I have lost my respect for Mrs. Clinton. This is unstately, shallow and desperate. What profit does it bring a woman if she were to gain the whole world, but lose her soul?
I am in absolute shock that a woman could say she has respected Hillary since her days in the White HOuse. Hillary was an embarrassment as First Lady…..doing her backroom, take it or leave it healthcare plan (we left it, and she disappeared) and disappearing when her cheatin’ dog of a husband said he “did not have sex with that woman” because she did the work and he sat there!!!! Too funny!
Any woman who says she “respects” Hillary’s stand ought to consider letting her husband have oral sex with other women—- just like Hillary!!! Is anybody forgetting we almost impeached her husband for being such a scoundrel?
Yeah, well, Hillary has been a poster girl for right wing fundraising efforts for more than a decade, and it hasn’t hurt Obama all too much to be running against someone more than half of the country hates. So there are people who are drawn to her pity me persona. I feel sorry for them.
The aide resigned this morning.
I am neither 60 nor working class. I am a white female professional from Illinois. I think teflon-man Barack Obama is so much Illinois political hot air. And in our state, his politics as usual is not a good thing. If you don’t think it’s a good idea that his loud-mouth pal from Harvard put her foot in it now, I can’t help you. Anyone with half a clue understands what can/should be said to a journalist. If she’d gotten a foreign policy position in a putative Obama government, imagine the trouble she could have caused with her infantile name calling. Not so different than some of the foreign policy people in George Bush’s cabinet.
Stephanie Powers’s opinion about Hillary Clinton doesn’t matter a bit to me. Her way of expressing it matters hugely. She probably needs a clamp on her mouth to keep it from working faster than her brain. I guess I’m surprised she’s at the School of Government.
Go Hillary!
This is 1972, redux. The incumbent party, which happens to be my Republican Party, is going to win.
Why? Well, not simply because the majority of one particular Democrat’s campaign (Sen. Clinton’s) consists of McGovern holdovers. It’s that her OPPONENT’s campaign has the support of both naive college students—those of spoiled white middle class entitlement—AND the historically angered and disenfranchised, which yields a dangerous combination, excepting the times of the Great Depression in our nation’s history. It is the recipe for loss.
Check back here in November.
For everones information Samatha Powers was let go. Which is a shame since Howard Wolfson Hillay’s communication director called Obama Ken Starr before Samantha even called Hillary a monster. Come on Hillary stop your winning I know you have been called a lot worst. You should fire you people who call Obama names. Especially Ken Starr boy does that bring back memories of how corrupt and the lies you and bill told the public. You are in this campaign for yourself and you don’t care on bit about the American people. Your next scandal is about to happen with your connections to Rezko and two of his co-defendants. Also, the $170,000, your campaign deceided to keep from IPA a company that has abused over 100 women. I suppose all these women are not telling the truth. Because when you were asked about it you stated that they have not been convicted yet. Come on Hillary this is pretty two faced if you ask me about your support women’s rights. Also, the truth will come out soon in the lawsuit of Paul vs Clinton and your campaign fraud. You always try to have some else take the blame for you. This time it won’t work. SCANDEL SCANDEL again for the Clinton’s and also probable federal charges. That a way to go Hillary, we really want a President like you. I don’t think so.
