Obama to Clinton: We've Got Our Own Kitchen Sink

Going negative worked for Hillary Clinton in Ohio and Texas and the Obama campaign knows it.

On a conference call with reporters this afternoon, Obama's chief strategist David Alexrod acknowledged Clinton's kitchen sink strategy and said, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." Get ready for an ugly six weeks until Pennsylvania, folks.

Axelrod started in on Clinton with the tax return issue. "The vetting of Hillary Clinton has yet to start. The hard questions haven't been asked," he said. "They've talked about change you can Xerox. You can Xerox a tax return. There's not a lot of preparation... it's important people understand what the sources of income are for the household that is going to be the next president."

This all followed on the heels of a memo from the campaign earlier this morning titled, "TAX RETURNS: What does Clinton have to hide?"

1. Obamas political brain (Axelrod) is trying too hard.

good sign for Hillary.

[thoughtcrime1984]

11. You want her to get some of what she's giving?

INCOMING!!

[Lucinda]

19. Yep. I dont think the taxes thing is a smart move. They are building it up so much

it's goning to be bad if there is no "there" there. He'd be better off sticking to issues.

[Hawkeye-X]

55. Oh there is something, all right.

There was a chart somewhere where their income shot up from something like under a mil to 35 mil.. Lots of 'splaining to do - and it isn't even Bill's $$ that can be touched.

[Lucinda]

67. Did you read this thread?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4906509&mesg_id=4906509

It's an interesting discussion on the topic.

[Armstead]

56. If there's no "there" then Hillary is stupid for not releasing it

Or maybe it's simple arrogence. She is so "experienced" from her days of witholding records in the White House, I guess.

[Lucinda]

66. Stupid isn't the word that comes to mind if she knows it's bulletproof and let's

it ride while he keeps making a fuss about it. I guess we'll know around April 15th.

[cali]

75. Nah, the Obama camp is wising up. They're gonna pay her back

in kind with a shitload of interest. As they should. And Hilly ain't teflon. Shit sticks to her.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. I love it!! nt

[redstate_democrat]

3. lol

TAX RETURNS YOU CAN XEROX!

Get 'em AxRod!

[earthlover]

46. Good point....Hillary's staff could Xerox her taxes in less than an hour....

It isn't as if she has to work on her taxes....they have already been done....won't take any of her time, and aide can do it for her....

It is especially of note since she "loaned" her campaign $5 million. Where did this money come from? What about Bill's deals with foreign friends? did any of this money find its way?

Hillary: turn your Xerox on!

[islandmkl]

4. Bill: "Wait a minute, boys. Before you crank up that Xerox machine...

use this bottle of White-out first. This little gal over here has some numbers that need changin'"

[superkia]

33. Yup, when you are connected, anything can be done for you.

If you worked at the IRS and was going to dispute the copy that the Clinton gives out, you would probably get a special letter from the government with a little surprise inside. If I were running a campaign to win, I would say here you dumb ass, hers my return so what? But then, I have lead a pretty clean life so I have nothing to change or hide.

[powergirl]

5. IN YOUR FACE

Yowsa! It's going to get worse. But Obama needs to fight back. Enough is enough!

[Coexist]

6. Axelrod stole my line!

[grantcart]

7. lol

[Tennessee Gal]

8. You can xerox a HUD statement too.

[Tennessee Gal]

16. I guess no one gets this post.

[mmonk]

22. We get it. I'm a real estate broker on top of that.

I guess maybe people didn't find it as humorous?

[Tennessee Gal]

23. Then you should know what I am talking about.

[Exilednight]

41. I know what you're talking about - it's just not funny.

[Tennessee Gal]

63. It wasn't meant to be funny.

[purji]

74. they both can xerox a lot of stuff

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4907332&mesg_id=4907332

[OzarkDem]

9. Axelrod shows his GOP self

Ginning up faux scandals and refusing to run on the issues or his candidate's merit. Wonder what will happen when the shoe is on the other foot?

[NMMatt]

18. That is just laughable coming from a Hillary supporter -nt

[Blarch]

25. Oh the irony

[Hawkeye-X]

57. Better lay down that crackpipe you've been smoking...

I've posted at *least* 17 unanswered scandals linking Clintons to questionable/indicted/jailed fundraisers...

Hawkeye-X

[cali]

76. bwahahahaha. Hilly lies her ass off about the NAFTA thing

turns out that the dishonest woman is the one who did what she accused Obama of, tries to slam him with Rezco when her associations are so dirty and she has had to return 10x more filthy illegal contributions than he has, and the hillbots whine. Well get ready to do a lot more whining. Time to slam the Clintons with all their dirt, and boy is their a wealth of it. Know something else? People are prime to believe anything about them.

[The_Casual_Observer]

10. The politics of hope, change, & Hillary's tax return. Alexrod is a

amateur when it comes to a street fight.

[flpoljunkie]

12. Got your attention, though, didn't he?

[The_Casual_Observer]

15. Just to make me laugh!

[tabasco]

20. Tough talkin' but no tax returns.

I suppose you believe that "she didn't have time" to release that tax info.

Time for Obama to start telling the truth about Hillary, i.e., giving her hell and calling her on her lies.

[The_Casual_Observer]

31. Time for a little less hope & a little more dope!

[tabasco]

32. Juvenile insults from an internet tough guy.

Say it to my face, tough guy.

[The_Casual_Observer]

34. oooooooo a threat from a keyboard warrior!

[tabasco]

68. Please inform me where I made a threat.

You are a liar as well as an idiot.

[Mother Of Four]

64. No...

It was an "Oversight" ...get the new cliche of the day correct darn you :)


Sorry, couldn't resist.

[high density]

13. But it takes a lot of effort to white-out the SSNs!

Oh the humanity. As far as we know.

[NJSecularist]

14. LOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[bigtree]

17. sounds lame

especially when she says they're going to be released next month when the rest of the country's returns are due. Lame Axelrod prattle.

[yourguide]

24. We're talking about her tax returns from 2006

The ones that were due into the government 10 months ago.

[bigtree]

35. still lame. Axelrod is a dweeb.

[yourguide]

36. hardly lame

seems like she's hiding something, if not why not release them?

[bigtree]

39. that's lame

fishing expedition. This is amateur stuff, done badly by the Obama camp.

[yourguide]

40. riiiiiiiiiiiiight

not nearly as amateurish and hamhanded as pushing out a pix of Obama in a turban to the press.

[bigtree]

42. not as lame as taking bait from Drudge, running with it

and helping broadcast and elevate a pic nationwide which had already dropped out of circulation and been shelved from an earlier release.

[yourguide]

43. riiiiiiiiiiiiiight, now how about those tax returns?

[bigtree]

44. who cares?

found anyone outside of your circle jerk who gives a shit?

[yourguide]

45. Yes, the media seems to care

as do the voters...

[bigtree]

49. I just heard a collective yawn on the reports this evening

no one expects anything to come of them, except Obama hopefuls.

[yourguide]

62. the collective yawn was from the hillbots

just like their overwhelming screams over rezko rezko rezko, which is also getting tied back to the clintons...

[flpoljunkie]

70. As well as Hillary's White House records and the list of contributors to the Clinton Library

[OhioChick]

21. Nice...

:rofl:

[usregimechange]

26. Put that in an ad!

[boston bean]

27. This tactic will not work, Obama has to say this shit, not his surrogates. nt

[Kaylee]

59. I disagree. He has to stay "clean" .

It has to be his surrogates. It will work just as well, we just have to get the media asking these questions.

[sniffa]

28. Off to the GP you go

:spray:

[Arkana]

29. She's got no choice at this point.

She has to release them. If she doesn't, suspicions are raised about their contents regardless of whatever spin Hillary's lackeys squawk on all the major cable news networks.

[Cha]

30. Yeah, Xerox that tax return hilary...NOW.

and then go Xerox your warmed up leftovers.

[JBoy]

37. They need a commercial about this:

Voiceover: "It's 3am. The phone is not ringing. This copier is not being used. Hillary, now would be a good time to make a copy of your tax return so Americans can have a look. Barack Obama provided his tax return. What are you hiding?"

"I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message".

[anonymous171]

38. The vetting of Hillary has yet to start indeed.

Only "vetting" she has received are stupid and sometimes sexist attacks on her by pundits who ignore her actual shortcomings.

[Skip Intro]

47. Well, he's gonna get dirty, eh? Fun begins now? He is a fraud.

[DemGa]

48. These idiots have been negative on Hillary from the start

Axelrod/Obama are just out of their league -- the "hope and change" fraud only seems to work SHORT TERM, as tested on Duval Patrick.

[anonymous171]

51. Experience only works when the candidate in question actually HAS experience.

[Carolina]

61. Touche! K&R

[UndertheOcean]

50. burn!!!!

[Scurrilous]

52. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Kaylee]

53. Love it!

[Hawkeye-X]

54. Scandals after scandals will rock the Clinton campaign... I count at *least* 17 scandals waiting

to be vetted....

Hillary has a huge mountain to climb. Better concede now before the dirty laundry gets aired out.

[cottonseed]

60. They don't even know what the Republicans have in store for them!

Funny thing is that Hillary supporters have been using this line for months... "you have no idea what the Republicans will throw at Obama. No idea!". Obama's negatives are as innocent as a new born lamb next to the the Clintons'.

[AtomicKitten]

58. What goes around comes around ........

K&R!

[SoCalDem]

65. They should show up at HRC HQ ..with a Xerox machine and offer to help copy those tax forms

:evilgrin: I'm pretty sure the media would tag along.. HRC has a great sense of humor, she'd probably think it was funny.. I mean she's done Letterman, The Daily Show & SNL.. she'd love the joke:)

[grantcart]

69. thats what I was thinking too

[jakem]

71. "You can Xerox a tax return." he is GOOD.

[KittyWampus]

72. we are still waiting. Wonder if the mediawhores will ever do their jobs

[workinclasszero]

73. WHAT ABOUT YOUR TAX RETURNS HILLARY!!!

Whats the matter Hillary?

Cat got your (lying) tongue???
