Obama adviser quits after calling Clinton a 'monster'

What is worse for a Democrat ?
Being called a Monster or Ken Starr...... I think the latter.

Hillary may or may not be a monster,but what we do know is that she is a fighter

She fought the Republicans and the Democrats to pass a failed health bill... failed and got knocked out.

She threw the fight against George Bush and sent our men and women over to Iraq
( now they are doing the fighting for her ) 4000 dead and counting....but that was then, this is NOW

She joined her husband in pardoning quite a few criminals..... That would technically be considered a tag team fight.

She may not be a monster, but as a fighter, I wouldn't want her on my side.

Ron, listen the Iraq debate is getting old. Everyone knows that the majority of congress was on board with that including people that we respect and admire as a nation such as Colin Powell leading the way in that effort. Get over it already. She will also be the one to end that war responsibly.
As far as the 'monster' comment, Obama said in December that he would remove anyone who attacked personally. So let's see if that happens, but I doubt that he will. At the end of the day his 'politics as usual' rhetoric is just that.

Senator Obama has denounced Mrs. Power's words as having no place in his campaign. She has apologized. Enough said. Samantha Power is a brilliant foreign policy expert and should continue to be an advisor to Senator Obama. Clearly, eight years of the Bush administration's foriegn policy blunders have left her frustrated. The Clinton campaign's negative attacks fire up the passion in anyone with opposing views. Power was wrong, but understandably so. Clinton should rise to the level of Obama, and these unfortunate occurances will not happen.

I used to believe in and support Obama but as this race progresses, I am seeing more and more that Obama is really like all the other mainstream politicians he denounces, and this recent example is no exception. I do not remember a single incident where even the dirty politics of Bush, Reagan, Gingrich, you-name-it, ever approached calling a rival candidate a "monster". This is beyond low and very disgraceful, especially in light of Obama's pledge of clean politics and "politics of hope". This seems like the mud-slinging, dirty politics of old.

Hillary Clinton is a REAL fighter. She has proven herself in crises situation such as 9/11 where she is the Senator from New York, Bosnia, Kosovo negotiations, the Ireland peace proposals, and in China where she proclaimed loudly that Womens right were human rights. All the women in the world applauded. She is the toughest I have ever seen.

Obummer is just like a con salesman and a weak candidate with Rezko, NAFTA-gate, his racist Pastor Wright, and his unpatriotic wife. I cannot conceive how any patriotic American would vote for him.

Go Hillary!!!!!!

Why would Hillary be upset? It is just a word and she thinks talk is cheap (can not remember all her words dissing Obama's words...). She nitpicks on words, like denounce. Would she denounce the now Governor Rendell or reject him for:
"Mr. Rendell, whose speech preceded Mr. Farrakhan's, commended the Nation of Islam for its emphasis on family values and self-sufficiency." (1997 after murders of African/Americans caused then Mayor Rendell to meet with Farrakhan to try to promote racial harmony) I could imagine Hillary getting the call at 3AM from, oh, Farrakhan, screaming "shame on you" or if there were a blizzard being unable to do anything. Gov. Rednell who endorsed her gave her a two week filing extension citing snow when she did not get it done on time. I have my own words to describe her.

A monster hypocrite. Seems the media can only spin this crying by Hillary, when the real story is here. Did Clinton Win Ohio on a Lie?

Does 'SEA HAG' count as a monster? Because I see her as sort of a 'SEA HAG' but I really don't put that into the 'Monster' category.
Hmmm... I could be wrong.

So when is this Obama aide going to be fired?" 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 does!! 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.

She should consider herself lucky that's all she was called. The woman is clearly evil. She has stooped to where she's practically endorsing McCain over Obama by praising McCain's experience over the last few days. She has clearly decided that if she isn't the Democrat to win, then she will make sure no Democrat wins. My understanding of the Democratic party position and resolutions is that such behavior goes against the Democratic party, and should be punished by party leaders. I mean, look at all the flak Obama took for saying Reagan and the Republicans had ideas, not even good ideas, just ideas, and Hillary is skating by her praise for the Republican nominee!!! And now her campaign has the gall to call for Mrs. Power to be fired!?!?! Are they going to fire Howard for the Ken Starr remark?? She is determined, by hook or by crook, to either become the nominee, or to destroy the party. Democrats need to wake up and realize that the longer she is around, the more damage she will do, the worse we will fare as a party and as a nation come November.

At least Susan Powers had the decency to apologize, unlike the Clinton campaign - and Clinton herself - for their unbecoming behavior this week. 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 today'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?

Well, well, well, looky what we have here: politics as usual?! Say one thing, do another. Lead by example? You are only as good as your advisors? ever hear of "top down" management? Obviously the Obama team is talking out of both sides of their mouths and if we listen closely, the deafening sound of hypocrisy is obvious. Transparent government? Only what I want you to see. Give me a break! Obama you need some explaining to do on a number of issues, not the least of which is why you can't control your own staff. The "we have run out of time", or "I was busy" or "that was a boneheaded move" doesn't cut it! Not with the press and not with the American people. If you are going to run on the platform of “change you can believe in” or new politics then you’d better do it. Actions do speak louder than words.

Go Hillary! A proven, tested, vetted leader ready to go to work for us on day one!

Everybody take a deep breath. Support your candidate in a way that takes the high road. That is the example we should put forth to our candidates and their staff. Instead of bashing the other side, put forward the attributes of your choosen runner for the White House with fairness, respect, AND FACTS about their own qualifications.
Nobody listens to hatred anymore. It won't sway the world to your opinion.

Good lord.

Perpetuating this dishonest half truth that Susan Rice said "that neither Obama nor Hillary Clinton is ready to take the proverbial 3 a.m. international crisis phone" is beyond shameful and the truncated YouTube clip that you must be relying on is a hit job.

The truth is that Ms. Rice was asked about that "3 a.m. phone call" in the context of Clinton/Obama race, and responded, appropriately, in that context. And the way she concluded her statement couldn't have been clearer:

"So neither one of them, and nor John McCain for that matter, have had that 3 o’clock phone call that others have had. And I think we have to be honest about that."

See the tape yourself right here:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23361295#23490306.

The key part begins 2 minutes and 2 seconds into the clip.

PLEASE stop repeating the lie that she said that neither Obama nor Clinton are prepared for that phone call and implying that McCain is.

And frankly it's just as shameful that you and the rest of the media have let John McCain and Hillary Clinton pile on the way they have.

And this coming on the heels of Obama adviser Susan Rice saying that "neither of them" I believe is the quote, would be ready to answer that 3am call, of course, knocking her own candidate in the process of trying to deliver an insult. And of course, there's Obama adviser Austan Goolsbee who met "off the record" with the Canadian consul in Chicago to discuss NAFTA. Obama' s got quite the group working for him. I think we can see what kind of administration he would have, that is, if he gets anywhere after all of this. The Tony Rezko connection is nothin' compared to all of this.

I find this interesting. That the MSM can report on Samantha Powers calling Clinton a 'Monster', but they won't report on the fact that the Clinton campaign was behind the Nafta situation. I wish Powers wouldn't have resigned because the Clinton campaign called Obama Ken Starr. Everybody knows that is not Barack Obama by any means. This is ridiculous how the Clinton's get to set the rules for how the game is played.

Based on her research on the indifference of the world to the various genocides in the twentieth century, Professor Powers had always seemed to me the very model of an engaged intellectual, who let the historical record rather than idealogy guide her judgements and conclusions. That she turns out to be little more than a tawdry shill and hitman (I suppose that should be hitperson) is depressing beyond belief.

Ron,

Obama's people are screwing his campaign up. His economic adviser goes to the Canadians and tells them Obama is only joking with the voters about NAFTA, he choses someone like Rezko to raises funds and buy his house (closer to crime than Hillary following your line of logic), his other adviser says Hillary is a monster and a third admits that he (although just like Hillary) is not able to pick up "that phone" at 3:00 a.m.

I am sorry but how can I trust this guy to become my president, if he is a failure in choosing his staff and collaborators.

I'd rather keep the "monster"

Mommy! Mommy! Samantha said a bad! Samantha said a bad! Are you going to spank her mommy?

What a dumb story, and who cares? Only newspapers thinking only about sales figures.

And now, pressure from the Invisible League of Political Correctness Watchdogs (ILPCW) have managed to blow this so out of proportion that the woman has resigned her job. Terrific.

To all: Lowest common denominator crud journalism is on the march, ready to inform you!

It's hard to be critical of Obama because he hasn't done a thing except talk a good game.I can tell you this,he endorsed the most corrupt Mayor in the U.S. (Daley) over a qualified African American woman(Dorthy Brown) in the last election in Chicago.

I am surprised that Obama's campaign didn't say that they were MISQUOTED! lol!

If you can't find something nice to write about, why don't you just take a break. No wonder Hillary stuck you all in the bathroom at her last Town Hall meeting. That's the only thing I like about her - her distain for a corrupt media.

You'd think with her intelligence and academic credibility, she would know that nothing is ever "off the record"!

Now it is Hillary spokesperson Howard Wolfson's turn to resign for comparing Barack Obama to Ken Starr.

Fair is fair.

Samantha Power is a person with great values and has tried to make this planet a better place to live on. She is a person of great passion and I believe see knows a monster when she sees one. Her only mistake is stating the truth in a politically correct world. The Clintons are what they are and care only about power and will do anything to attain and maintain power. Ms. Power is the type of person we need envolved in the poltiical process and it a shame she had to resign when her only error was telling the truth. Clinton "double speak" claims another victim.

"Monster" will be mild compared to what she will be labeled when she releases her and Bill's income tax statement.

I think Hilary is absolutely ruthless. She feels she is entitled to be president of the United States of America. I think she and her husband have s symbiotic relationship similar to the parasite mistletoe that lives on a tree. They have a very sick relationship. Bill does whatever he wants and Hillary puts up with it because she wants power. She has enabled his bad behavior by putting up with it for 30 odd years. I feel sorry for anyone Republican or Democrat running against her. She will do anything, no matter how low to win. I sincerely hope that she does not become president for the sake of our nation. I would prefer Barack Obama or John Mc Cain to her. They are both honorable men. She is not honorable and I think she is a monster.

As president, Bill Clinton pardoned Viktor Bout's partner Marc Rich before he left the office.

Will Hillary Clinton "reject" any pardon request for the merchant of death Viktor Bout if she becomes president?

I do not know what to think of this mess, but one thing is happening that is not so good.............. If I were Barack Obama, I might consider gracing out of this race knowing that so many of my supporters are expressing themselves on talk radio and blog sites with so much hate and frustration characteristic of the violent extremest religious and anarchial groups in this world. These attitudes of hate and bitterness are not what his vision represents. These supporter attitudes may inadvertantly be dragging his candidacy down.

what's wrong with her comments? Hillary is a monster and will stoop to the lowest level in order to win. I applaud Power for her honesty and feel the same way she does.

Obama and Clinton better get their act together. There was a deadly bombing that killed innocent Israeli students. Neither one has uttered a sound in response to that heinous act! I am a Democrat, but if those two don't stop attacking each other, and do what's best for the country, I may vote for Mc Cain or I might not vote at all!

Monster? Someone should be taking a close look at the death of Vince Foster. We shouldn't insult Monsters so freely.

Ms. Powers',out of frustration, may have used inappropriate language to describe the underhanded tactics used by Senator Hillary Clinton in her quest for the White House. Truth is, Senator Clinton has yet to disclose her financial dealings by submitting her tax returns and opening the financial records of the Clinton Foundation/Museum. Hillary Clinton also does not tell us what qualifys her to be Commander and Chief of the most powerful nation on the planet, other than her 8 years in the White House as a spouse. She uses termonology like "tough and can get the job done" but we don't need "toughness" we need honest leadership and good judgement. Unless she is saying that her role as First Lady was a policy making role, and she negotiated on behalf of the United States of America without the qualifications or authority to do so, then she should say what experience she has to answer that scare tactic ad of "answering the red phone at 3am". All that Senator Clinton has said thus far is that she traveled extensively and met a lot of foreign dignitaries. Senator Clinton needs to stop the dirty tricks publishing inappropirate ads and pictures aimed at Senator Obama and put the spot light back on the truth and the issues affecting our country. If she did, I believe we would see some unfavorable issues of the Clinton's historical dishonesty, avoidance of the truth and lack of integrity. Americans want a President who exemplifies the family values and ethics that the Office of the President deserves and we must have. I believe that Senator Clinton, unlike Senator Obama, cannot stand up to the scrutiny.

Obama is done. Rezko for VP

There is an old Russian joke about a couple, mistakingly accused of theft of two silver spoons at friend's dinner party. Later, the friends called the accused and confirmed that the spoons were found. After many follow up calls of the innocent couple to their friends, the call was eventually answered and the friend said to the accused: We know that you didn't steal the silverware, but the "Sediment stayed".
The mastery of leaving " The Sediment " for the public, after withdrawing the accusation and offering an apology is basic "fool the public" tactic, played continuously by various senior Obama's advisers. (Apparently Samantha Power is Barack Obama's senior foreign policy adviser - Watch her "rather embarrassing" (h/t Martin Kramer) performance on BBC "Hardtalk" of Stephen Sackur - 3/5/08

Reality Check, are you serious? We should 'get over the fact' the Hillary voted to invade Iraq? That is the single biggest reason why she should not be president. It is also the reason I would not want her answering the phone a 3am. Everytime she talks about being ready on day one, that is the obvious response. She does not have good judgement and has a history of making bad choices. Those are not issues to 'get over' when electing a president.

Can I assume that you 'got over' all of GW's foreign policy mistakes? I highly doubt it. You are a hippocrite and a moron.

But she is a monster! Hiderbeast; the most terrifying 'women' on gods green earth. Just listen to that hideous cackle, it bloody gives me nightmares it does.
When I see on her on the old TV box it almost makes me wish I lived in some Muslim country, somewhere like Iran. At least then they would make her put a towel over her head.
In fact that’s a great idea! Barack Hussein Obama for president!

You Obama people are SO specific. Next time try something like this:

I think we should accept Hillary Clinton at her word that she is not a monster,

The Democratic Party is waking up to the fact that it needs a nonMonster as its standard bearer in November.

It's 3:00 a.m. in the oval office who do you want answering the phone? Barack Obama or someone who, if not a monster, is very very irritable to say the least because of a spouse who is extremely needy and high maintenance.

Numerous studies -- by their own people-- have shown that the individuals who make and sell Halloween masks will be kind of disappointed if Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee.

I don't think Hillary Clinton is a monster, but the American people have a right to know why all the rumors about the Lincoln bedroom being haunted suddenly stopped as soon as the Clintons stopped renting it out.

People told me about the Wednesday morning headline on the drudge report, "It's Alive!!!" I mean uh "She's Alive," but we knew all along that this was going to be a tough fight all the way.

I am so sick of Hillary-bashing. Anyone who asserts that she will "she will do anything, no matter how low to win," or that her only relevant experience is as first lady, or that her private decisions about her marriage are all about ambition and power, is succumbing to brainwashing by the Hillary-hating media. It's fashionable to deny that gender has anything to do with this race, but these attitudes smack of straight-up sexism to me. What do you REALLY know about her, separate from what the columnists and TV pundits tell you to believe?

Ruben,

You have issue with Barack's ability to choose his staff and collaborators? Do you realize that you could write a book about the shady people the Clinton's associate with. I also remember a couple of high level Clinton campaigners having to resign recently. One accused Barack of being a Muslim and another sent out a picture of him in Kenyan clothing in an attempt to portray him a muslum/terrorist.

Think

Reality Check, are you serious? We should 'get over the fact' the Hillary voted to invade Iraq? That is the single biggest reason why she should not be president. It is also the reason I would not want her answering the phone a 3am. Everytime she talks about being ready on day one, that is the obvious response.

Can I assume that you 'got over' all of GW's foreign policy mistakes? I highly doubt it. You are a hippocrite and a moron.

I liked Bill & Hillary, however, Hillary's tactics this past week have pushed me over the edge. If she wins the democratic nomination I'm voting for McCain.

What makes any of you different... instead of putting forth ideas to help your fellow Americans you sit here on these messages boards tearing each other down as well.

Lets wake up people... we need to stand together to solve our problems. Employment, healthcare, immigration and the wars... I'm going back to be depressed about the sorry state of our country. So before you left & right wingers start crying I've served my 4 years in the US Army, Bachelors degree, married for 12 years with 2 wonderful sons living in the suburbs of Dallas. Oh did I mention I'm independent!!!

In reference to my post (#17), though Ms. Powers was clearly out of line, I see on reflection that her apology should have ended the matter; everyone should be allowed one error in judgement and her's does not detract from her altogether more important historical research. This election will almost certainly end with a McCain victory, as he will be the only candidate left standing.

This event was totally staged- a slight variant to the 'caught me speaking my mind into an open microphone in an unguarded moment' perfected by the Clinton machine and originated by Bill. John Kerry tried it, too. And President Bartlett glorified it on The West Wing. A little surprised the Obama Campaign tired it. Decent execution though- nice touch using a high profile woman so they can at least dodge the cries of sexism from Hillary/Gloria. Think they expressed the feelings of many frustrated Dems cringing at the possibility of four years of Hillary's schtick.

A senior policy advisor says a nasty personal remark, gets upbraided for it, and resigns. What other outcome would a Clinton supporter want here? In the interest of keeping the campaign and debate above the personal and inconsequential, Obama should accept Power's resignation; emphasize that he - and he alone - speaks for and about his policy positions; tell his other advisors that they are NOT the candidate and should be wary of getting caught up in snare of instant celebrity; and move on with his core message, which has gotten him where he is today. Tempests such as this and the Kenneth Starr analogy will continue to be a key element of Clinton's strategy over the next few weeks, i.e., prick and jab Obama till he's bruised and bloody. He needs to remember how and why the people put him, and not Clinton, in the #1 spot.

Please enough about the vote on Iraq, Hillary was just one of the millions that believed Dubbya's lies. It is easy to belittle someones track record when you have no track record. All I hear from Obama is ' If I was in office at that time" well he wasn't. A better question would be what have you done since you've been in office???????I still waiting to hear that answer. Sen. Dodd while endorsing Obama was asked the same question and didn't come up with one thing that obama has done since becoming a Senator. What the democrats do not need is another Jimmy Carter who is learning on the job, that will result in 4 years and out followed by 8 more years of whoever Dick Cheney decides should do his dirty work for him. Go Hillary you little monster!

ANYBODY BUT HILLARY!!!! She truly is a monster! She couldn't even manage her own household, how will she manage the whole country? We need someone who is a proven leader who has dealt with international and domestic crisis situations. As an independent voter, I look at all parties involved.... sorry to say but I don't see much choice out there this time around. Of the three top candidates, I would lean toward McCain, but I am not totally comfortable with him either.... Would someone please step up that is qualified for the job?

Blah! Blah! Blah! As long as I have listened to candidates running for public office, some 40+ years now, I have heard promise upon promise during the campaign which never amounted to anything after the election. Talk is cheap. People forget. Leadership is a character issue. A person's character is written by their deeds. Look at what the candidates have done both in thrir public and personal lives. Then choose.

You must be kidding, right? Are you telling me that Hillary is now "snow white" I don't think so! This woman is worse than a snake. I was supporting her and now I see that her tactics are straight from the gutter. I am thinking seriously of voting for OBAMA instead. Maybe it's time more Americans that are tired of this dirty politics spoke up.

I'm a loyal Republican, and I must say I'm grinning from ear to ear reading the preceding 48 comments. I'm voting for McCain. But Dems., read what you guys are doing to each other - it's beginning to resemble the Sunnis and the Shiites. This rhetoric in the US is beginning to sound just like 1860, and we all know how that turned out. Seriously - both sides should really tone it down if you want to have any chance at all in November. Just a friendly comment.

hillary clinton is a real fighter and a fighter first and foremost. She is a fighter in the karl rove / ann coulter tradtion.. Like Rove and Coulter she is caught in a never ending cycle of fighting. She is stuck in the same sort of abuse drama. She happy to be kicked around and to play herself off as a matyr for a cause. She is equally as happy to to abuse others with her power. Like Rove and Coulter they always have a market to peddle their victimhood at the same time they find ample American's to beat up on. If you are interested in a four year cycle of fighting in the victim abuse model hillary is the right one for you. Expect four years of hillary pitting 51% of the country against the other. Sometimes heading the victim party other times being the abuser. You can rest assuered that Hillary will spend her presidency fighting. A Natural fighter is a driven by hate and anger. Rove Coulter and Hillary are always looking to fight more out of hatred than out of any constructive cause. A warrior is one who fight with noble causes. Its not about them its not driven out of personal hatred it is mission oriented. We need a warrior who will not spend their time fighting out of hatred for the oppostion as the Rove /Bush regime has. If you want a fighter Hillary is your pres. she will be even more devisive than the last regime and has just as much hate and disregard for a sizable percentage of the american population. You want a warrior you vote McCain/ Obama. They will be warriors' for all Americans and the American cause> they will both remain above the fray and not play themseves off as victims or waste their energy hating the half or America they disagree with.

Two thoughts:

1. Those who are posting in favor of Hilary or Obama are Democrats.
2. Massachusetts has had its primary. Hillary won.

Therefore the bickering back and forth about Hillary and Obama's tactics is useless on this forum. This isn't a New York, LA or Chicago website. Ideas from these forums will not matter in upcoming primaries and the next time we'll have a chance to vote the bickering here won't matter. Democrats will vote for whomever gets the nomination as the Republican offering is more of the same. Why bother posting?

What a joke, neither of those two clowns is qualified to be president of the boys club, never mind the most powerful job in the world. Every day I read terrible things about our President. Did it ever occur to anyone to notice we have not been attacked on home soil. The president no matter who is is will be blamed for everything. I read one story where Ronald Reagan was blamed for Arthur Ashe getting Aids because he didn't put a stop to transfusions. The Saudi's say the gas price is the fault of the Americans. Well if those Americans really cared they could send a message. I see every day thousands of autos on the road that do not have to be there, some one has gas money. If all over America everyone except necessary needs stayed home one day, a message would be sent to the oil companies who are somehow making the largest profits in history. But we won't it is easier to complain.

I am an Obama supporter, but I also want to see a Democrat in the White House on January 20, 2009. Having said that, I do believe that Hillary Clinton has been unfair in her attacks on Obama. One good idea of Ronald Reagan was that Republicans shouldn't attack Republicans, I was hoping Democrats could abide by the same idea.

In the end, I will vote for the Democratic candidate in November because I do not want to see a Republican have more opportunities to appoint conservative, strict constructionist judges to the federal courts, especially the U. S. Supreme Court, which is already moving further and further to the right.

SAMANTHA POWER APOLOGIZED.

SHOULD ANYTHING MORE BE SAID?

WHY SHOULD SHE HAVE TO LEAVE THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN?

IS THERE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN AMERICA?

Shall the edict of Clinton prevail?
In America, the strong such as George Clinton et al, apologize to no one, but
as in Russia, the weak must ,and according to Putin, deserve to be beaten.
If Obama cannot protect his own staff, how can he stand up to Putin?

Unlike Ms.powers who is a well-respected real scholar, Obama appears to be a great imitator of famous people like JFK,RFK, MLK, Nader etc in his crowd-drawing speeches. Its time for Ms.power to forget about this bad experience and continue to publish her original works on world humanities.

I can't believe what i am hering, you critize Obama, menawhile you know that Clinton staff are always looking for something to destroy the competition. what about the "muslim" photo of Obama, guess what?, it was sended by Clinton's staff, and she is even decided to let Republicans to win, before seeing that OBama Does, as i can see she only cares about getting the power...

Do you want a person with such dirty tactics to be your President, go on vote for Clinton, i can't believe you are gonna waste the only chance we had in years to hacve a good Democratic president

It is politics as usual. Why doesn't everyone just vote for the one that they believe in. When I read some of these comments its seems very clear how so many people are listening to everything they here like it is the word of God or something. Give me a break. Who cares. If you think Hillary is a monster than so be it. At most her comment may be immature, that is just her opinion. Fortunately in this country we can still have our own opinions openly. I do not see the dirty politics played out before the Texas and Ohio primarys. If Obama thinks it is tough right now in his campaign for the nomination, news flash this is childs play in comparison to what the republicans will do. And contrary to many remarks the GOP does not need anything that the Hillary campaign is putting out there. Thay have enough of there own I am sure. Obama may or may not be sincere time will tell. I have seen the benefits of Hillarys hard work for this country.Looking for the perfect person with absolutely no blemishes is a journey with no end. Voters should not be swayed by all of the nonsense being tossed around by both sides and simply vote for the person they think can run this country the best. If we change "our reactions" to this BS then maybe they will change the way thay present it. Hillary is my girl. Go Hillary.

Ms.Power may, like other sidekicks, be more interested in registering a Madonna effect of notoriety in what promises to be, as we look back upon it, the most epic campaign of America's entire history, given the nature of regime change the election represents as one President gives way to another, and as the former President Bill Clinton terms are challenged by Obama and Clinton's former campaign managers for his wife.

These are regicide dynamics, straight from England, a pageantry of no small proportions. Why wouldn't anyone want a bit part?

The BO campaign has talked ad nauseam about offering voters a new, "cleaner" style of political campaigning. But we have consistently seen that they are more than willing to engage in the mud-slinging and distortion they so emphatically decry. Because they have so criticized others for supposedly engaging in such activity, Obama and his sympathizers should really be brought to task on this issue - more so than those who have not made racially changing the discourse a cornerstone of their campaign (b.c they actually have something else to offer than empty, "inspiring" rhetoric!).

Someone should dig up footage of Sam Power's recent appearance on Charlie Rose. She was there to talk about her book, but spent a considerable amount of time bad-mouthing Clinton. Glad she got her due. Lets now look at other hacks within that campaign.

A BIG POLITICAL DISASTER AWAITS THE DEMOCRATS:

I am a young White Female who is very politically active. I am currently an independent voter but with the trend of things right now; I must make this very bold prediction. If the Democratic Party allows the Clintons to have their way and steal this party’s Presidential nomination due to their dirty and gutter politics that they are famous for, not only will they loose the November Presidential Election to the Republicans by a very large margin, but they will also loose the Senate and a bunch of other Congressional seats.

Let me give you my very substantial reasons and analysis:
1- Hillary Clinton is a very Polarizing figure that only the hard core Democrats will vote for in a General Election. This will give John McCain enough room to sweep out the Independents, and Conservative Democrats who wants nothing to do with the Clintons, and also the Young Democrats brought in by the Obama Movement.
2- The Bill Clinton factor: Bill Clinton ended his last term in the most disgraceful manner. The first President in modern time to be impeached by the United States Congress for having sex with a young Intern by the name of MONICA LOWENSKI about the same age then as that currently of his daughter Chelsea in the Oval Office( the highest and most respectable office in the land).
3- The entire eight years of the Clinton Administration was dogged by countless scandals ranging from Jennifer Flowers to Paula Jones, from white-water to Monica. This was evidenced by the number of their friends and close associates, and supporters who have to serve jail time.
4- Hillary Clinton is yet to explain her role in death of Vince Foster (a major player in the white- water scandal) who allegedly committed suicide and the missing memos involved in the scandal mysteriously surfaced in the Office of the First Lady (Hillary Clinton).
5- Unlike all of the contestants in this Presidential race, Hillary Clinton is yet to release her INCOME TAX RETURNS. What is the secret behind this is this White- water deal or a dubious contributor behind the scene?
6- The Clintons are yet to release the names of their big time players and contributors to his Presidential Library. We all know that it contains the names of Foreign Governments and Individuals. If by any chance Hillary happens to get elected into the White House, we all know that Bill Clinton will play the role as FIRST VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF ADVISER. This gives direct access to influence a lot of the decisions involving his foreign Government Clients, and contributors.
7- The Clinton Foundation works directly with Foreign Governments especially in the areas of Financing, Health and Development. As the first Husband, First Vice-president and Adviser in Chief, he will have to pay back all of those favors, especially when it comes to decisions that will conflict with our U.S. Foreign Policies. This is a big set up for a compromise. We all know that when it comes to Reckless- Bill, it is like a kid in a candy store.
8- Never in the history of this nation where former Presidents sits quietly in their retirement homes and serve as Honorable Statesmen, have we seen a former President involved in dirty gutter politics fighting to return to the White House, the very scene of the crime.
9- Today as we all have seen, one of Hillary strongest supporters the now disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, has just taken a page from the Clintons play-book (SEX SCANDAL). As a disgrace to all women voters, just like Hillary his wife is standing by her man. At least she is not as delusional as Hillary to blame it on Republican Right Wing Conspiracy. You know that the Republicans are going to bring this up, and there goes the votes from Women and Strong Conservatives.

The Republicans are just waiting with trucks load of dirt on the Clintons that will make the Democrats to not only loose the November Presidential race but also major Congressional and Senate seats.

Is this not the Hillary Clinton who as First Lady had all of the opportunities in the world to have reformed the America’s Health Care System when she was appointed by her Husband Bill, to head that project, but chose to play politics and started attacking Congressional Republicans. This became a big disaster, as the Republicans led by Newt Gingrich, swept both houses of Congress from under the Democrats. That was almost fifteen years ago, and the Democrats have since not been able to recover.

Here are the facts as to how much damage the Clintons have caused the Democratic Party. Not only did they go on to loose Congress to the Republicans, but it cost them heavily in two back to back winnable Presidential Elections. Just as Americans, especially the Democrats are about to get over the Clintons Disasters and fatigue as they now try to bring in new Political Talents to lead the Party and America into a new direction. In the wake of a new world order, and Globalized Economy, in order for America to continue to take its rightful stand as the World Super Power, the Clintons surfaced again for another Presidential run with the hope that Americans are still under amnesia.

To the Democratic Super Delegates, We realized that you were once given some responsible jobs in the Clinton Administration, and as such you have to pay back and prove your loyalty. Please understand that Hillary Clinton does not stand a chance in this world, when it comes to the Republican Propaganda Machine. If they could damage the credential of a highly decorated Vietnam War Veteran like Senator John Kerry, just imaging what they have ready for the Ever Controversial and Polarizing Hillary Clinton. Please in the interest of your Democratic Party, do throw this election away to the Republicans by sending Hillary Clinton as your Presidential Candidate. By so doing, you just kissed the energized youth votes in this country good bye.

To our Senior Americans, this is a direct appeal to you. You have had several opportunities to make decisions in order to influence the direction of this nation.
Today things are a little different and we the young people see it this way. We are in the middle of a senseless war, and economic recession. We are the ones who are returning to you in body bags. Thanks to the like of Hillary Clinton, who as a U.S. Senator, did not read the intelligence memo, but yet voted to send us to die in a far away land. Our future since the history of this nation has never been so uncertain. We want to compete with the new emerging World Powers in areas such as economy, Technology, Health, and Education, and stay ahead, but we cannot do these if we continue the same old path. War is not and will never be the answer. The Clintons are from the past. In fact we want to thank both Bill and Hillary for their contributions to America, BUT WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD THROUGH CHANGE.
