Clinton camp: Obama was a 'hypocrite from day one'

[sniffa]

Hillary Clinton’s campaign accused surrogates for Barack Obama of resurrecting her controversial comments over Bosnian sniper fire Saturday.

"One of the inherent duties of the president of the United States is to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Memorial Day,” said Gen. Walter Stewart on an Obama campaign conference call on the issue of Bosnia — remarks circulated by the Clinton campaign Saturday afternoon.

“Now we can assume, and let's keep in mind that Senator Clinton has said she was under sniper fire, or she joked about, which to me was the cruelest part of all this, she joked about it with Jay Leno. … Imagine the lack of moral authority she has now to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Memorial Day.”

Clinton had faced criticism for claiming that her plane landed under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia she made as First Lady.

The Clinton campaign pointed to Obama’s statement at Wednesday night’s debate that his campaign only commented on the Bosnia incident when asked. "When it comes to negative campaign tactics, Senator Obama has been a hypocrite from day one, decrying attack politics from one side of his mouth while he and his campaign wage a character assassination effort from the other,” said Clinton spokesman Phil Singer. “The juxtaposition of Senator Obama’s comments in the debate and the remarks made on his campaign conference call this afternoon prove the point."

1. He doesn't decry attack politics. He's decrying stupid politics.

And the Clinton's are "Stupidity Politics" Incarnate.

6. Hillary Clinton "Whiner From Day One"

She makes up stuff about Obama,

Obama tells the truth about things she's said or done.

There is a difference, if you can't take the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen Hillary.

11. "Imagine the lack of moral authority she has now"....how long has it been

since we had a president with "the moral authority to lay a wreath at the Tomb". I kind of agree with the general, but then again, where has he been?

12. Ah yes....the point is proven

"When it comes to negative campaign tactics, Senator Obama has been a hypocrite from day one, decrying attack politics from one side of his mouth while he and his campaign wage a character assassination effort from the other,” said Clinton spokesman Phil Singer. “The juxtaposition of Senator Obama’s comments in the debate and the remarks made on his campaign conference call this afternoon prove the point."

14. Her fucking husband brought it up just a couple of days ago, as did ABC in the debate she loved.

No wimps in the White House, Hillary. Quit acting like a wimp.

15. I've been waiting for this:

This post is almost EXACTLY what I posted about this:

Now what they need to set up a victim of sniper fire to talk about what it's like in an ad and then juxtapose what she REPEATED 4 TIMES.

I'm glad this is being circulated again.

It is a microcosm of what she's all about.
