CAUTION: If you are already supporting Hillary Clinton, please do NOT watch footage. It is not for you.*
But playing the victim .. Hillary's campaign actually BLAMED OBAMA on Face the Nation and other Sunday shows for the fallout of HER comments.
Eventually, there was a sincere apology in the end during The State of the Black Union. She seemed genuinely apologetic.
Question: Do people even remember how Hillary & Bill Clinton treated Senator Barack Obama or did that all get magically forgotten?

*This is video from Obama's first primary race, posted for those that are still considering whom to support and who may not have even been old enough to vote 8 years ago when they were kids/teens.

(27,800 posts)Back then, I mentioned that I didn't like early voting because of what happened with Wellstone (the absentee votes already cast couldn't be counted or re-cast, and Coleman basically won on the balance of that) and I was accused of trying to bring down Obama in a plane. So she said something that was true. She was hardly calling for any harm to come to Obama. I'd forgotten her remarks, actually, but I never forgot that my own comments were twisted around!

(27,800 posts)I've never hidden that, easy to find out. And I think her remarks were purposely twisted, as were mine. People can stay in the race as long as they wish and can afford to, and I wish Senator Sanders all the best if he wants to stay in for a long time. More power to him. I'll never forget having people jump down my throat for mentioning why I don't like early voting (and I still don't, I always vote on election day).

(11,076 posts)There is no way I would jump in and say a thing. 70 percent of the OP's out here are some kind of Clinton disruptive flailing about. And just like now I have to tell you to watch all three videos. If you did, the 'twisted words' defense would in fact not be a line you would use. Hillary and her supporters need to learn that every crappy thing does not need to be said. Not every action needs to be justified. Sometimes people say crappy things and sometimes people bring up personal anecdotes that are unrelated to evidence that is being presented. Saying , hold on kids there's still a chance my opponent may be murdered and pointing out that a man who in fact has died complicates the voting process are two entirely different things. It's the already dead part that you missed.

(27,800 posts)No one wished harm to Obama. I've thankfully blocked out the name of whomever responded to me but they acted as if I had the capability to bring down a small plane (and there are those who think Wellstone was assassinated, I'm not one of them). For the record, I don't.

(11,076 posts)And making this about you or another story is an unwelcome distraction.
You cannot have watched the videos linked herein above.
(Also--not that this will do any good--please don't bother to respond, as I've updated my IL.)

(4,797 posts)It's a big part of why I don't support her this year. Rest assured, if Bernie starts moving ahead of her she will do as much and worse to him.

(11,076 posts)...that is not an apology! And to answer your question. I do remember how they treated Obama. The Clintons are political mobsters and I regret that anyone would be offended at my remark! They took every opportunity to run Obama through the mud and failed to respond when others did the same. What I remember most of all is how she went into hiding instead of conceding. Weeks went by. She would set press conferences that she failed to show up to. She proved to be very unstable at that time. Maybe she was expecting an assassination attempt although I would not presume to know what goes on in her entitled mind.
