Hillary on Obama's claim that "even though she voted for the bill, she was glad it didn’t pass"

[ProSense]

Senator Obama then attacked Senator Clinton on her vote for the bankruptcy bill:

Believe it or not, Senator Clinton said again last night that even though she voted for the bill, she was glad it didn’t pass...I know you can get away with this in Washington, but most of us know that if you don’t want to see a bill pass, there’s a pretty easy option available – you can vote against the bill

Obama is distorting Hillary's comments. As she explained yesterday – and at the last debate -- Hillary said she was "happy" the bill "didn't become law" because "she regretted voting for it."

Obama states fact. Hillary's factcheck paraphrases. LOL!

1. Now REGRET your HAWKISH ways jerkie

While I am not an Obama supporter, I will vote for ANYONE _________ (any dem, I dont want to get banned :dem: )that can stop HRC from getting into the white house.

3. Uh huh. That leaves you with the excellent Edwards.

Pity you don't have a better reason for supporting him.

4. I would love to support him

But he has the same chance as DK, and he supports the drug war.
While I like Edwards best out of the top three, I will support DK unless someone steps up and stops HRC. So far, BO seems to be the man.

2. I'm glad she regrets that vote.

And I have no problem with her clarifying that comment, because the way words were put into her mouth left an odd impression, likely intentionally.

6. agreed.

I think she is learning a lot from this campaign, meeting and talking to the voters. I am looking forward to seeing what she can do in the WH.

8. Poor judgement to vote for it in the first place. She knew it was a bad bill.

So she voted for it, then hoped it wouldn't pass. Why? I thought she was smarter than that, especially with all the information she had at her disposal.
