Wow, Hillary's attempt at sliming Obama bombed
You could tell that 'xerox' line was staged. It looked as though she didn't even want to say it; it looked forced. The audience booed it immediately. Was it jowls 'n flopsweat (Penn) who suggested she use that stinker of a line? Talk about a split personality. One minute she's trying to slime Obama, the next she's saying how 'proud' she is of him. Bizarre stuff. \

She didn't do what she needed to do--which was have a "where's the beef?" type of moment. Obama actually came off as more composed. He has improved immensely as a debater.

1. The CNN crowd meter sank like a stone when she said the line
It was a Carville quote she had penciled in. Stupid. Cheap shot. Very...Hillary....

13. The Hillaryworld Worshippers have no class
First of all, when's the last time you used the 90's term "Xerox". It's not only so Last Century, it's not used in today's World.

Secondly, it's been made a painful reminder that Hillary stole Edwards' line in her not-quite-yet concession speech at the end.

Gee...why do I waste my time...this shit is over your little head.

7. She shouldn't have touched the issue at all.
Or just have left it alone after the "his words should be his own" swipe. There wasn't a need to take it any further.

8. Had Obama given an average answer it would have been a good line but he got the audience on his side
She had probably been waiting all night to give that one liner and then Obama ruined it for her by giving such a great answer. She came across like someone beating a dead horse with a stick after we discovered the Horse had been the victim of her lies. Total disaster on Hillary's part!

9. And Hillary stole 2 lines.

The hypocrisy will be noticed.

Clinton, 92: "The hits that I took in this election are nothing compared to the hits the people of this state and this country have been taking for a long time."

Hillary Clinton, tonight: "You know, the hits I’ve taken in life are nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across our country."

10. Will she ask herself for an apology?
I mean, according to her minions, that's a crime worse than stealing a baby's candy.
