Ripping Off The Mask

[maddiejoan]

Kudos to Senator Clinton a brilliant performance!

If the media won't do it's job --I say let Hillary do it.

Time to take the mask off, Senator Obama.

[Bicoastal]

1. I thought Obama himself was underneath that mask? nt

[maddiejoan]

6. yeah it's kinda like

those Russian Nesting dolls

[Johnny__Motown]

10. So he is the same either way. I think your analogy is flawed, also the russian dolls get smaller

[maddiejoan]

13. So does Obama's

campaign promises.

[Johnny__Motown]

18. Someone isn't big on promises he can't keep (unlike Hillary)

[ruggerson]

26. lol

good one

[NYCGirl]

2. Wasn't that the sketch where Hillary was dressed as a witch? NT

[Bicoastal]

9. This must be the most misremembered SNL sketch in the history of forever.

She (Amy Poehler) was dressed up as a bride, but the other candidates kept mistaking her for a witch.

Then Obama came out (as himself, wearing an Obama mask) and said "And Hillary, you make a very lovely bride."

Darryl Hammond (as Bill Clinton): "She's a witch!"

You can watch it yourself at the NBC website.

Oddly enough, at that time Hillary was the frontrunner, and everyone was making fun of her.

Then after the strike, SNL has been pro-Hillary and very hard on Obama. Go figure.

[NYCGirl]

11. Yes, in fact, I was just showing it to someone on youtube not a half hour ago.

I was just rubbing the OP's face in it.

[NC_Nurse]

3. He seems more genuine to me than she does.

:shrug: She's nice one minute, then mean the next.

[Johnny__Motown]

14. More genuine than which Hillary? The nice one from the debate or yesterday's? Or today's? Or ....

Tomorrow's?

I can't keep track anymore

[NC_Nurse]

27. My point exactly.

:hi:

[Drunken Irishman]

4. I agree, kudos!

It's like she just doesn't want to win this thing. I've never seen a campaign sabotage itself in so many ways like Clinton's has. It's actually kind of uncomfortable watching her implode like this. But oh well, she made her bed.

[jgraz]

5. Please, go on, Hillary

All she's doing now is making sure that no Clinton will ever be elected to a position of responsibility ever again. Kudos, indeed.

[TwilightGardener]

7. Public shaming of Obama on Saturday, public ridiculing of him on Sunday.

What a winner of a campaign she's running--so positive and uplifting. Someone needs to bring this sad and flailing campaign to a merciful end. Soon.

[babylonsister]

15. And on Tuesday he wins!

O8)

[TwilightGardener]

19. God, I hope so. I take nothing for granted, but man, words cannot

express how much I want for this primary to be over, and for the talk to turn to his GE strategy, his VP pick and his cabinet.

[ProSense]

8. Does this come off:

[TheDebbieDee]

17. I HOPE not! Go, Hillary.........

EARN the "negative campaign" label that you've been slapped with.

I think I'll send her even MORE money.

[ProSense]

20. EARN the "negative campaign" label that you've been slapped with.

:woohoo:

[maddiejoan]

21. Me too!

I find her honesty inspiring!

[thoughtcrime1984]

Go right ahead, she needs it.... nt

[LadyVT]

12. You got it! Hillary08!

[lligrd]

16. This Is The Worst Democratic Campaign I Have Ever Seen

How do those of you who support these tactics live with yourselves? Shame on you!

[Bluerthanblue]

22. when will Hillary reveal her own true nature?

I don't believe any of us has witnessed who she really is.

I think she is walking a very thin line between being able to hold herself together and completely losing it. Somewhere underneath the anger, the bravado, the professional "I've got everything under control, nothing can rattle me" is the person-
Hillary, who has struggled much of her life to achieve what other people have told her she should 'want'.
She has been so busy trying to become what she believes will make her "GOOD" that she has never had the opportunity to learn to appreciate and embrace her many very positive and admirable qualities, and understand that she always has been "enough" and she didn't need to prove anything to anyone.

IMO-

I find this incredibly sad.
And I do have compassion for her life long struggle, and hope for her future. Regardless of whether that future holds political achievements.


I realize you were attempting to use your post to kick at Obama, and applaud Hillary, but your title and her recent performances keep speaking out over the clamor of political rhetoric, and superficial bickering.

peace~

[maddiejoan]

23. It's all her.

That's the thing about reality --it's complex.

What you haven't seen is anything real from Obama --and you know that.

Deep down you KNOW it.

[TwilightGardener]

25. No, Obama has been himself from the start. His message, his agenda, his personality--

he does not present a different face from day to day, which makes people like him and trust him. Hillary is veering from conciliatory to angry to sarcastic--what comes tomorrow?

[Bluerthanblue]

28. no, I'm one of the Obama supporters who

doesn't see him as perfect. I've never experienced the 'romantic- magical' attraction that some people describe.
I'm far too jaded by life to be able to do that. The qualities that I admire most about Obama go beyond is ability to speak well, and to help people feel hopeful. He is not afraid to admit error, to acknowledge openly and honestly his own mistakes and poor judgments. That speaks of a person who has a good self image, and who has learned that he cannot run away from his past.

I don't deny that reality is complex. But I do disagree that Hillary is what she 'shows the world'. I don't believe anyone has yet seen the real Hillary- including - especially herself, because she has not allowed the real Hillary to actually BE- she has spent her life running- always striving to acomplish some 'task'- and the most difficult and rewarding one still awaits her.

I truly believe this.

peace~



edited to finish a hanging sentence-
I am scatter-brained.

[VolcanoJen]

30. It's not, it's not, it's not.

That's the entire problem with the campaign. I do blame her since ultimately, she's responsible for the way it's being run, but I don't fault her as much as others do. She should've flicked off the Mark Penn/Bill Clinton devil-angels from her shoulders right after New Hampshire.

She's been an awful candidate, maddiejoan. I know you don't agree, and that's ok, but it's an increasingly obvious thing I'm talking about here.

[maddiejoan]

32. I agree

Mark Penn is a disaster --but that's not what I meant by "it's all her".

I was referring to the many sides we see of Hillary.

Complex Human being ALL have many sides. I'm sure Obama does as well.

I haven't seen more than two sides of Obama. He plays everything incredibly close to the vest.

This makes for a good campaigner perhaps - but it doesn't elicit trust from me.

I don't know who he is.



*freudian typo fixed

[Straight Shooter]

35. I love your little Freudian slip there, maddiejoan

elicit morphed into illicit :D

[maddiejoan]

37. oooops

maybe it's his big strong hands.

I have a thing for strong hands.

:::blush::::

[Straight Shooter]

38. :)

Hands are the most fascinating aspect of human anatomy.

[FrenchieCat]

24. Here's the real truth........

[VolcanoJen]

29. I'm not-so-secretly hoping for a Bill drive-by

I'm actually expecting it, kind of any minute now. Those moments always seem to work out so well for them at the polls. }(

[cali]

34. Hilly's doing her own self-immolation. Who needs bill when

she's fucking herself and her campaign so well?

[VolcanoJen]

36. On that note, doesn't today indicate a rather big change in her strategy for OH and TX?

Prior to today, the campaign let Bill and surrogates throw out the "fairy tale" and "shuck and jive" and "cult" memes. They tried their best not to let Hillary get dirty on the stump.

But today, Hillary took it upon herself to push these memes to a new level. "Illusion." "Magic Wand." "The sky will open."

It's really got me scratching my head, seeing as how this prong of attack has yet to work for her campaign, and now that they're making the words hers, aren't they kind of doubling down on an awful hand?

[Leopolds Ghost]

31. Where's Swamp Rat When You Need Him?

Some of his artwork featuring Hillary would be apropos right now...

[cali]

33. I love it. Go Hilly! She's fucking herself and it's delightful to watch

I love seeing her make a spectacle of herself. By the time this is over she'll be a curiosity, so I say keep it up Senator Hilly.

[Skip Intro]

39. Agreed. K&R for Hillary.

[milkyway]

40. I've lost track--which stage of grief is Hillary in right now?

[no name no slogan]

41. That is so, like, 1980

[EmilyAnne]

42. Wow, she sure can be nasty sometimes.

Are you saying that the media needs to use more bizarre hyperboles to mock the supporters of Barack Obama? Not a single Obama supporter I know thinks any of the things mentioned by Clinton in that clip. That sort of magical thinking is insane. How does people casting votes for someone other than Clinton suddenly translate to a belief in supernatural miracles? I thought it just meant they prefer someone other than Clinton make it to the GE.

[OzarkDem]

44. Welcome to DU

:eyes:

[OzarkDem]

43. Excellent speech, Love it!

No wonder the Obama crowd's heads are exploding. She nailed him.

[Raffi Ella]

45. hell yeah,Give'em Hell Hillary.

Not only is he unqualified but he's too inexperienced to even KNOW he's unqualified for the job;thinks it's gonna be easy!HA!

Sorry but we need an experienced FIERCE DEMOCRAT who will FIGHT for Democratic Values -Go Hillary,tell it like it is.FIGHT for this nom just like you will for ALL OF US when you're President!


HILLARY 08

[cottonseed]

46. She's mocking Obama's supporters.

Stupid maneuver in a long line of them.
