Dentist buys Hillary Clinton 2012 ad
A Chicago dentist is paying for a new ad advocating a presidential run for Hillary Clinton in 2012.

The fairly simple ad first aired Wednesday in New Orleans, according to CNN, which first reported the story.

“She has more experience working in and with the White House than most living presidents,” the text of the ad reads. “She is one of the most admired women in our nation's history. Let's make sure the president we should have elected in 2008 will be on the ballot in 2012.”

The conclusion of the ad comes with a slogan: “Hillary 2012: Hillary Clinton for President. Start now. Where there's a Hill there's a way.”

3. As if there would be any significant difference between the two?
:crazy:

I wish a real alternative would show up to challenge -- I could get behind that.

18. Nope, Obama spoke some words that persuaded me that he would be slightly ...............
more liberal than Hillary, but in the long run he passed the bills that Hillary promised to pass. His White House even resembles that which a Clinton White House would look like.

If Obama wins a second term, I am curious to see if Biden will run and if so, does he win, and if he wins, what would his White House be like?

4. I'll bet big money that the dentist is a republican plant
Hillary running against Obama in 2012 is a republican meme .... I had a republican ask
me this very same question yesterday.

Say the lie .... rinse and repeat

6. My First Thought As Well ......
and this was after I read the Vanity Fair piece on Palin where a Dr. funded one of her appearances.

8. you can smell the republican on the ad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJKLdqO32E8&feature=player_embedded

Willian DeJean gave money to produce the ad but he doesn't know where the $ is coming
from to air it .... please.

In 2008 he gave money to Hillary too just like a lot of republicans voted for Hillary
to try to stop Obama.

20. Oh good grief, not this again.
When Republicans voted for Obama in the primaries it was because he's a uniter.

When Republicans voted Hillary in the primaries it was because she's GOP-lite and/or they were playing games.

Ugh.

He supported her during the primaries.

15. And that was Hillary's problem during the primaries
Too many conservatives supported her during the primaries. Hell, Rush Limbaugh was telling his ilk to vote for her!

She was running to the right with talk of obliterating Iran and discussions of Obama failing to reach white working class voters.

17. That's not so.
She said that Iran would be obliterated if they attacked Israel with nuclear weapons. As for white working class voters, she was only quoting the polls. It was a fact at that point in the primaries. Furthermore, it is still a fact nowadays. Obama is polling in the 30s among white males.

As for being more conservative than Obama, that's just plain bull. Remember the FISA vote?

19. When Hillary started losing to Obama during the primaries, she moved to the right
One vote doesn't change the fact that she wanted to appeal to conservatives. Hell, conservative talk radio hosts were practically in love with her during 2008.

BTW....you should NEVER speak of obliterating any country no matter what the context.

12. Yep, divide and rule
Of course this tactic proceeds on the assumption that Hillary would be too stupid to see what they were trying to do. After all, she's only a woman, right?

5. Policy position-wise, there is probably not a lot of difference between the two. But Hillary
lived through eight (and more) years of rethug attacks. She knows the enemy better than Obama.

She {b]may have put up a better, more-determined fight on some of the proposals. Certainly, her experience with her health care effort back when would have led her to a better result than the sell-out to the thugs and ConservaDems.

7. Baloney - Clintons led the way on working WITH the GOP... "Roll over and agree, quickly"
Edited on Fri Sep-03-10 11:39 AM by blm
You've mistaken the dog and pony show fights that were more for distraction than anything else, with REAL policy fights - look at how Hillary acted as Senator....she was always touting her AGREEMENTS with Bush and never led any major fight against Bush and his policies.

I think Obama is working too much with GOP BECAUSE he's taken the lead of the 'experienced' Clinton WH.

10. Hillary may be the lesser-of-two-evils among the Democratic elite. There are many I would
Edited on Fri Sep-03-10 12:04 PM by T Wolf
prefer to either of them.

But I cannot recall Obama, certainly in his role as POTUS, doing much to lead any major fight against the GOP and its policies. Worse, in his position as President, he could have set the tone and established starting points for negotiations with the enemy. Instead, he started so far to the right that he effectively gutted legislation before it was even proposed.

And then compromised even more away.

So, adding his failure on that score to a positioning similar to Clinton on issues, Obama comes out behind.

That's just me. Your mileage may differ.

9. Is there another Hillary Clinton I'm not aware of?
Otherwise, he'll be running a campaign without a candidate. Hillary's not running again.

22. I become more and more convinced that Obama will put a stop to this kind of nonsense bubbling up --
by choosing Hillary as his VP for his second term. She will be helping Obama in 2012, not hurting him.

Was Obama perhaps a slightly premature President? Perhaps. But he is out President: to call for Hillary to run for President AGAINST Obama in 2012 is at least as premature, as things stand. She can run in 2016, she will, and God willing (for all of us) she will win.
