As an Obama supporter, I don't Hillary saying "screw 'em" is that big a deal

[Bucky]

After all, they'd just lost Congress. She was probably feeling bitter at the time. ;)

1. I don't think so either, it's not like Hillary pointed at an intern and

said "screw her, Bill."

[DevonRex]

7. OMG. ROFLMFAO. nt

21. My daughter was a Jennifer Z before she got married. n/t

2. what's the issue?

[gateley]

3. ....

:evilgrin:


But beyond that, this is based on a person's report of what she said. We (people) twist what others say -- so who knows what she actually said. Or meant.

[TheDoorbellRang]

6. She probably didn't mean it....as far as we know

:evilgrin:

[gateley]

9. God -- she's just made it too easy for us, hasn't she?

:evilgrin:

14. Interesting thought. It may be that Clinton simply doesn't know how to target her punches

She fights tough, but not smart. In the long run, her feistiness undoes her own support.

[gateley]

18. As has been mentioned,

she seems to be flailing, as opposed to targeting punches. Like she's up against the ropes. That shouldn't make me smile, but it does.

16. Based on a report confirmed by at least 2 other witnesses.

So yeah, she actually said it. And I don't think you can really interpret 'screw 'em, Bill, you don't owe them anything' to mean anything other than what it says.

4. Common private political comment.... most famous by Haldeman

(I think) regarding Nixon doing something as President that was considered pro-Jewish: "F**k 'em, they didn't vote for us"

[tokenlib]

5. It is important to acknowledge that people get bitter in bad times...n/t

[Bucky]

11. You mean bad time like this.... ?

These results are what experience teaches us about the senator's durability as a candidate.

8. Embrace the Suck Hill, It's coming n/t

[gateley]

10. The guy on Air America is just mentioning it now -- nt

[Quixote1818]

12. I don't care either, but since she has been attacking Obama on "Bittergate"

I hope it knocks her out of the race.

[slick8790]

13. Heh.

I'd agree, in normal times, even though I know you're being sarcastic. But with all the fucking false outrage about "bitter-gate" I hope this blows up in to something huge.

[Scurrilous]

15. LOL

Good one. :thumbsup:

[Catch22Dem]

17. O supporter here. Doesn't bother me a bit

I agree. Screw 'em

[tishaLA]

19. Let them eat cake!

[flpoljunkie]

20. Question is will ABC's Gibson bring it up in tonight's debate or not. We will soon see.

Has it been mentioned on CNN. Not a word about it on Lou Dobbs, but that's not a bit surprising. Lou Dobbs is obviously out to get Obama--he's the number two topic after illegal immigration.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

22. The difference between Hillary and Obama

Obama will hear an off the cuff comment like that from Hillary, and ignore it because it really doesn't mean anything.

Hillary will hear an off the cuff comment from Obama, and run the attack dogs 24/7 for the next two weeks.
