Comments on: Hillary Clinton – They Just Can’t Explain It

Why is John McCain attacking Obama with everything he’s got?

Because he knows that if Hillary’s the candidate, the ‘pubs will turn out in droves. She doesn’t deserve it, but it’s a fact.

Polls don’t mean anything without turnout. And sadly, Senator Clinton will turn out the Republicans. We can’t risk that.

The Economist:

“If Democrats were to deprive Mr McCain of the chance of running against Hillary Clinton, that would be the cruellest blow. Mrs Clinton would be a one-woman solution to the Republicans’ problems, a guarantee that money will flow into the party’s coffers and that true-red voters will troop to the polls.”

“If what should be a cakewalk in November turns into a rout, the Democrats will know who to blame.”

Hello all of you. Wow. I am witnessing the breakdown of the Obama machine. All of you who attack with out facts and use innuendo are a little over the top. Obama has some serious issues he is facing. The nature of the issues and how he handled the issues are what voters are responding to. Firstly-no one really cares about Obama and Rezko. What offended me and many of my friends and associates is his denial on national tv during a debate on the eve of the SC primary. He is running his campaign on a speech where he identifies himself as the candidate of change, openness or transparency in government and as the new standard for ethics in politics. He says this day after day..a thousand ways. But, when asked a question about his relationship with his friend-he lied and said-”I do not know him. I did 6 billable hours of work for a law firm, representing a church, on a case he was involved with in Chicago.” Replay the debate-hear it for yourself.
On February 20th in the Chicago Tribune Obama issued a statement that was written by Axelrod saying he was adding a statement to his response about Rezko. He said and I quote- “he (Antoine Rezko) and I have been friends for over 17 years. We, Michele and I have gone to dinner occasionally with him and his wife. I did walk through my new house with him before I purchased it seeking real estate advice. Our visit there lasted 30 minutes. The next day I offered 1.65 mil for the house which ended up being 300,000k less than the asking price. Mrs Rezko bought the adjoining lot on the same day for 650,000. She later sold me a portion of the lot for 100,000. My gardener maintains the remaining property for the Rezkos and has since we moved in.”
This statement was issued by David Axelrod for Barak Obama-30 days after his initial denial response during the debate. No other questions were allowed or answered by Barak Obama. When a cadre of polite reporters asked him about his issue on the eve of the most recent primaries-he left the dais after saying he answered enough questions and would not answer anymore. You can view that interview and judge for yourself.
This is one of the issues that Barak must face-after all he set the standard and raised the bar as an honest politician..a new hopeful way of asking and answering and being accountable. That is what Barak preached to all of us and it came back to bite him.
That is what I am upset about. His inspirational behavior goes as far as the camera lens.
We are all apart to some skeletons in all of our closets that would not sit well with lots of ‘folks’ but he had an opportunity to answer the question honestly over the 4 years Mr Rezko has been in the limelight as an allegedly ‘crooked’ politician-and he did not.
To me, this is an egregious violation of trust by the man who would have us believe he is trustworthy beyond inspection.
This is not over yet-and it got this big for Mr Obama because he lied.
Perhaps this issue is what is making you and me angry? I don’t think Mrs Clinton winning had anything to do with Barak Obama failing us so soon.

The last time the USA had a healthy economy and deficit was when there was a Clinton in office. I believe that Hilary has the contacts to put effective staff in place to lead us to a healthier USA in many ways!

LOL! This is funny because I keep hearing all these blanket statements, but they’re a bit ridiculous. (Says the white non-rural woman who was an Edwards supporter and voted for Obama.) White women fall into many different categories. And we aren’t voting exclusively for HRC (which may be part of her problem.) I think the MSM just hates that they can’t predict what’s going to happen or how we’re going to vote!

Hillary doesn’t need to babysite Obama. So how about Hillary is going to be the candidate and Obama can be her running mate. I would vote for that.

I woke up this morning to see a fellow Highbrid Nation writer reporting that Hillary has won the Ohio and Texas primaries and how this is getting bad. And like him I feel like this battle between Obama and Hillary has went on too long and now they are in danger of hurting the party by allowing McCain to take shots at them while they are dealing with each other. Howard Dean should step in and say “Look, Obama is going to be the canidate and Hillary you can be his running mate if you choose”…I know I know that would never happen but a guy can dream right?
