Hillary Clinton Openly Admits She Lied, But Then Accuses Obama of Guilt by Association

[Pharaoh]

The admission itself was significant, but the funniest part about her response was that she made the admission and then asked for a pass: "And, you know, I'm embarrassed by it. I have apologized for it. I've said it was a mistake. And it is, I hope, something that you can look over, because clearly I am proud that I went to Bosnia. It was a war zone."

She wants us to "look over" it; her lies shouldn’t be an issue.

Okay, whatever. But through out the debate, her hypocrisy came through as again and again she pressed her case that Senator Obama be held accountable for his association, not for anything he himself has done or said, but for the words and/or deeds of a couple of people he has happened to associate with over the years.

1. Obama showed character

by not pouncing on Clinton for her obvious lie, the voters have already formed an oppinion on it. Clinton on the otherhand, pounced on the guilt by association like a duck on a june-bug.

Obama knows, the perception on attacking a woman, how it will be seen...sexist I know. But it is still true, it exists. I also believe that Obama isn't out to tear the party down, or tear the character of a fellow Democrat down. He will need the Clinton supporters in his run for the General Election...he must walk a fine line.

2. But none of Obama's lies have to be admitted?only Hillary ever has to apologize or admit anything?

This kind of biased crap more than almost anything else has brought me right to Hillary's side. i am so sick of Obama being treated like a protected sacred cow. he isn't to be questioned on called on anything. Feh. This primary has certainly made me aware that sexism is alive and well in America and that women are worse off than men of any color.And I used to be really sickened by a lot of things Hillary did. But there is no competition with the way certain folks have treated Hillary. Attacking her positions is one thing but setting double standards for truth is another.

3. Narcissists always think their lies should be overlooked...

...and yet constantly point fingers at other people ~ she's a classic case.
