Just heard on CNN that Obama is going to be having a press availability

[MoJoWorkin]

--they said, probably to take on Hill's accusations. I am not sure what time.

They now say probably within the hour.

[polichick]

1. Will he brush it away like a bug on his sleeve, or present examples...

...of Clinton campaign dirty tricks??

[Cha]

8. I bet he'll get into eloquent specifics and

wash her away.

[polichick]

14. You're right; he will! nt

[jgraz]

2. Ugh. Just let it go, Barack

I'm all in favor of fighting back, but he should just let her stew in this one. Don't get down in the mud with her.

[AtomicKitten]

3. That hasn't been his strategy.

What he does is get out ahead of this kind of crap and simply speaks its name, calmly, briefly, succinctly - in contrast to her flailing about in faux outrage. That strategy successfully lets the air out of Ms Thang's tires every time.

[jgraz]

6. heh, like he really needs my advice.

OK, I'll be over here shutting up. :hi:

[AtomicKitten]

12. Pease feel free to move about the cabin ...

[polichick]

11. It's powerful to speak that way...

Few people are so good at it ~ and it'll probably make her even more furious. Yikes!

[AtomicKitten]

15. It is powerful because it diffuses the nonsense,

and she's not having any of that.

[Whisp]

4. No way he should let it be.

and he doesn't have to get muddy about it.
It's not his style to do the 'Shame on You' crap that Hillary pulled out of Penn's fat ass.

[VolcanoJen]

7. Mark Penn is a Noxious Weed.

That crap was totally Penn-esque. This from the jerk that gave her that "Xerox" line.

God, I can't wait until this over and Mark Penn, Howard Wolffson and their kind just melt away.

20. I started a poll in your honor

[VolcanoJen]

23. Oh that is AWESOME

:rofl:

I went with "Ripgut Brome" simply because when I think of Mark Penn, I think "gut." ;-)

[VolcanoJen]

5. No. He's not going to walk away from fights and allow his character to be questioned.

Good on him. I'm looking forward to his remarks. And I'll bet he doesn't once start yelling or calling for anyone to be "shamed."

[Occam Bandage]

22. No. One can make a point of staying above your opponent's mud.

[K Gardner]

9. If anyone has a link to the Hillary Meltdown, please post it. I haven't seen it. Thanks.

[MadBadger]

13. I know, I've only heard these stories but havent seen it.

[Johnny__Motown]

10. He may want this fight, He seems to be ahead in TX now, if he can win OH too all this shit ends

My point about Texas is backed up here.. just skip down to the last two paragraphs if you want

[scheming daemons]

16. The contrast between her shrill shouting and his calmly answering reporters will be striking....

...and move another 5% of Ohioans in his direction.

[NJSecularist]

17. The press conference is to fight off Hillary's accusation

I really like the way he is fighting Hillary's attacks. It's a good sign as he moves towards the general election.

[Iceburg]

18. Is he going suspend his campaign?

[thoughtcrime1984]

21. Yeah, how'd you know?

He's getting his ass kicked, lost 11 straight states. I'd quit too!

[K Gardner]

19. Update.. They're still waiting, expect momentarily.
