How does Hillary want it with words? They are "just words" and don't mean anything, or "reject" is leagues different than "denounce".

Well, how about not only saying you would vote differently knowing what you know, but say you were "wrong" and you take "responsibility" and are "sorry" for you vote to give chimpy the power to invade Iraq?

1. The Clintons have a lot of experience with word parsing
Deciphering it is like pulling teeth.

3. Not to mention she did NOT reject the support of the party she described as racist in 2006,

6. She still can't understand that Obama is just that good.
He still leaves her dizzy from her own punches.

8. She was being charitable to him.. offering him a chance to take
a bad answer back.

"Obama denounces Farrikan, but accepts his support" would have been a very bad headline for him tomorrow and very damaging to the Democratic party.

12. Puh-lease. She thought she had him.
She thought he wouldn't rise to the challenge and "reject" his support. She thought she could peg him at "denounce". And, like so many times in this race, she underestimated his political ability.

7. Bingo! I'm glad you posted this because I'm out of threads
If Obama was petty he could have cut into her final speech and made a pompous statement about how John Edwards and John Kerry came out and apologized for their IWR votes and that clear language is needed in this case, since millions are now dead.

9. It hit me like a brick.
I couldn't believe she was wanting to parse reject and denounce, but Obama slammed it back in her face, without looking bad.

He is a professional.

14. She did him a favor.
He ended up using both words and made her look silly for even bringing it up.

15. She has been doing him "favors" since Nevada.
Obama should thank her for her running such a failing campaign.
