Obama and the guy he knew from WU? Why was this even brought up in a prime-time debate?
Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 10:01 PM by Arrowhead2k1
Total BS. I didn't even realize it was a minor issue, let alone something that warranted time on a prime-time debate. Of course, that sleazy Hillary Clinton took advantage of the situation to launch yet another negative attack on Obama, even invoking 9/11! What a cheese ball. This debate was a farse!

1. Sean Hannity asked them to pose the question.
Believe it or not, they did.

3. Because Sean Hannity told George S. to ask about it.
I think Obama put it into perspective about what this guy did "when I was 8 years old".

7. Murdoch held a fundraiser for HRC. A lot was made of that but
many here thought it was fair game to pose those questions to Hillary. You haven't seen anything yet. Obama is a relative "unknown" He's good, but he is not great nor is he perfect. There were a few other statements that he has made on the campaign trail that were equally untruthful as HRC's Bosnia flap.

9. Because the debate questions were written by the GOP.
Just look at George's body language - he was on the attack all night.

10. IMO, it was orchestrated by the ruling elite ... it was IMO, A FUCKING AMBUSH!

I hope that the rest of the electorate is insightful enough to know that Obama was "jumped" on three fronts tonight, i.e., the two moderators and HRC. :(
