Obama Gives Hillary The Truth, And She Thinks It's Hell!!!

[slinkerwink]

ABC News' Sunlen Miller and Kate Snow report: Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has reinvigorated its attack against Sen. Hillary Clinton, today rolling out three Bosnian war veterans to make the case that Clinton was dishonorable when she made inaccurate comments about dodging sniper fire in Bosnia.

..

Maj. Gen. Walter Stewart called Clinton’s misstatement a “dishonor” that showed a lack of moral authority.

Michael Kotyk called Clinton’s statement a whopper and said, “If she’s gonna tell stories like that is as candidate, what will she do when she’s standing in front of Congress? ... How do you expect your troops to follow you if you’re not providing good leadership?”

The veterans argued that the misstatement wasn’t their issue. It was what her statement showed about Clinton’s honesty level.

“This isn’t about misspeaking,” Stewart argued. “This is about your character.”

The Clinton campaign immediately got into a conference call, whining about being held accountable for lying about sniper fire by veterans who themselves faced sniper fire. I'll post Wolfson's whiny response here:

“Boy when the Obama campaign decides to go negative, they really go negative!” Wolfson said.

Wolfson noted that at Wednesday night's debate, Obama had said his campaign only talked about Clinton's misstatements on the Tuzla incident when officials were asked by reporters.

"Today, on a Saturday before the election, they have a conference call?" Wolfson asked rhetorically. “This is part of the attack, attack, attack on this last weekend here."

He seems to have forgotten they've had conference calls during Saturdays, like the one they had before the Mississippi primary. In any case, Obama wasted no time hitting back at Clinton on her lies about NAFTA in one of his train stops today:

“She also believes that, you know, the nature of politics is that you say what people want to hear,” Obama said at a stop at the Paoli train station.

He then referenced Clinton’s stance on NAFTA: “So maybe you say something about trade when you’re campaigning with your husband eight, 10, 12 years ago. You say something different now you’re campaigning in Ohio or Pennsylvania."

Obama continued, “She's taken different positions at different times on issues as fundamental as trade, or even the war, to suit the politics of the moment. And when she gets caught at it, the notion is, 'Well, you know what, that's just politics. That's how it works in Washington. You can say one thing here and say another thing there.'"

3. Pro-Wrestling

She reminds me of the bad guys in pro-wrestling who always complain to the ref than deliver a low blow when his back is turned.

4. WAAAAAAH, Wolfson. STFU!

Wasn't this the scum who was trying to goad Obama into another debate just yesterday?

Talk about dishing it out but not being able to take it. THAT'S the "heat" HRC should've gotten during that so-called debate.

Truth hurts, Wolfson. And so does the severe LACK of it.

5. I thought they fired Wolfson

Wouldn't PA like to know Mr Columbia is still in the mix.

:shrug:

[tekisui]

6. That was Mark Penn, and he's still there, too.

He just got demoted.

[slinkerwink]

7. yep

[sandnsea]

10. Oh, Wolfson was a Columbia lobbyist too

I got mixed up.

"They include the Glover Park Group, the fast-growing firm set up by former Clinton White House aides including Joe Lockhart, who was chief spokesman for the president. (Howard Wolfson, Mrs. Clinton's campaign communications director, was a partner at the firm but has taken a leave of absence.)"

21. lincoln

he did do whislestop tours, which i think were pretty common at the time. but i think you might be thinking about lincoln's most famous train ride, which was the ride back to illinois to be buried. people lined the route several deep all the way to springfield.
let's hope that we don't see a repeat of that, at least for a very long time.
