HRC campaign and interest groups attack Obama in Ohio
(i previously posted this in response to another post):

Here in northeastern Ohio, one direct from the HRC campaign--a piece decrying Obama's so-called position on NAFTA, when it was her husband's administration that pushed the bill through. And one from AFSME's "People" Committee, with pictures of soldiers at a war she helped authorize; one of a foreclosure sign, that she also bears responsibility, by supporting the bankruptcy bill and skirting
the overall mortgage crisis by paying lip service about doing something about so-called predatory lenders, when every Congress person should known darn well that every mortgage is written to protect the lender, not the borrower. The AFSME "People" Committee should know better, too, because most average Americans, I don't care if they do have a union job, are only one paycheck or catastrophic illness away from potential financial disaster and losing their house (it doesn't just happen to "poor" people) The third pix is one of an old lady sitting (assumedly) waiting for health care. (Oh, and Clinton real stood her ground to the pharmaceutical and health insurance lobbyists the time she had a chance, too, didn't she? )

The final picture of juxtaposing a Bush thumbs' up in front of a Katrina disaster pix takes the cake. Lousiana's infrastructure had been in serious jeopardy decades before the hurricane hit. Someone hoodwinked the State into selling it as an environmental crisis and trying to market it to the country and Congress that way, so as to garner collective federal action. For no elected officials, especially especially perhaps from a neighboring state, to have pointed out the economic implications of a disaster there is just beyond irresponsible to me, it's deriliction of duty.

I am just sick to death of all of this. I am sorry I have ever felt sorry for HRC for her struggles in this campaign. She is just more of the same. What a damn shame. If she thinks she's smarter than the American people, though, she is more to be pitied then condemned. What a waste.

1. So she's criticizing Obama for his flyers, but has her own
circulating? How hypocritical can she get?

2. Tell us more about the Katrina photo.
Who sent the flyer with Bush making a thumbs up after Katrina, and what is the implication supposed to be?

5. wow, i can't believe in the short time since I've posted this how many
other people have reacted, too. it's just ridiculous what tactics she seems to thinks she's entitled to, but it's truly disheartening and disillusioning, too, and of course i just heard some tv R talking head going on saying how maybe Hillary has merits in her anti-Obama rhetoric, because of course they never imagined having to go up against someone else in the general election; they wanted to make it easy for themselves have her as easy fodder.
