Can an Obama supporter please tell me when Hillary declared "Mission Accomplished?"

[calteacherguy]

It's not the first time a politician has tried to score cheap political points by slandering the opposition.

[Joe the Revelator]

1. Can a Hillary supporter please tell me why they act like they've never seen...

...a political campaign before? You can't get your feelings hurt so easily.

[MGKrebs]

25. Oh, suddenly we're all concerned about the Hillbots feelings?

Yuk yuk.

Best chuckle today.

:yoiks:

38. Excuse me, Mr. Obama, Mr. Honesty,exactly when did Hillary

declare she'd won the nomination? "Hillary is not the first politician in Washington to declare 'mission accomplished' a little too soon."
-- Barack Obama on Leno, going for a two-fer when asked if Hillary was "a shoo-in."

I don't mind a politician calling an ant hill "a mountain" because politicians lie - that's what they do. But when you wrap yourself in the cloak of honesty and claim, "I'm not like those people,'" and then turn into one of them after you find yourself 25 points behind, that doesn't work.

So if you want to tell lies, that's OK with me because I want a Democratic president,But you might want to knock off that "honesty" bullshit because you're clumsy at it." BartCop.....could not have said it better.....

4. I would like to know, too.

[jefferson_dem]

7. Find something relevant to hang your support on.

This is just stupid...and you know it.

[jefferson_dem]

5. What the fuck is this?

Are you new to American political campaigning?

I really hope you're joking and don't need this explained.

[jenmito]

6. She's running a general election campaign as if she's already won the nomination

and the MEDIA has certainly all but said it.

Can you tell me if you think she should apologize to Obama for saying he should never take nukes off the table re: Iran when just today she said she would take them off the table re: Iran?

[Rhythm and Blue]

12. Last I've heard,

she was going out of her way to say this wasn't over yet. I don't think she's ever implied that it's over.

[jenmito]

30. She said lots of things she didn't mean.

She's definitely running for the general election.

[emilyg]

35. Typical. I knew you were for Obama.

[jenmito]

44. What was your first clue...my Obama avatar?

:rofl: Can you answer my question?: Can you tell me if you think she should apologize to Obama for saying he should never take nukes off the table re: Iran when just today she said she would take them off the table re: Iran?

[niceypoo]

54. He didnt day he would take them off the table re: Iran

He said he would take them off the table re Afghanistan and Pakistan and would go into Pakistan to hunt terrorists, permission or not, which I agree with.

[Dawgs]

8. Well he got you talking about it. It's called marketing.

10. Then why is he now including it in memo issued to the press?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3622406

I understand its a joke on Leno.

When it becomes part of his schtick, he will be called on it.

[wndycty]

11. Go ahead call him on it, call attention to it. . .

. . .most people who are not Hillary supporters agree with it. He touched a nerve and this is politics so he needs to keep touching that nerve and I will sit back and laugh my damn ass off.

Man (or woman) up!

[rinsd]

14. Oh there's been a touched nerve,,,its was the 3rd Q fundraising report.

So the 1st two moves were to step up attacks on Hillary and to assuage supporters that he isn't blowing it.

[incapsulated]

22. No, now you are being disingeneous

No one laughs when someone makes a "joke" about how their candidate is like Bush. Other than his own supporters.

[Karmadillo]

13. If Obama wants to be an instrument of God, he probably shouldn't lie about others for personal gain.

[Grandrose]

15. You have not seen "cheap political points"....

IF, I say if Hillary is the nominee, wait until the Repubs really get started!

Btw this is a campaign and opponents are allowed, even encouraged to challenge and criticize each other.

Hate to burst your bubble...Hillary is not immune!:eyes:

[Bitwit1234]

16. Republican tatics...what Obama supporters have done here from the beginnin.g

53. Are your capitalized L's to show you as Lavender Liberal?

I know it's off topic but I was curious.

[ileus]

19. She will November 2008.

[jillan]

20. Not an Obama supporter but he was referring to her saying she already won.

It was actually kinda funny as an outsider looking in.

[calteacherguy]

23. And when did she say that? nt

[Semper_FiFi]

24. What can one expect? BO's a charlatan in a cheap suit...

I expect nothing better from him. Fortunately, hes 30% behind Hillary. The more negative he gets the more damage he does for himself.


kick and recommend

[FlaxieB]

27. Why do all you Hillary supporters have your panties in a bunch?

You Hillary people are so damn sensitive. Obama referenced to what all the political pundits and mass media hawks have been saying, doing and promoting since day one of the Dem campaign, use the mass media and polling agencies to try and psychologically convince the american people that Hillary is the Democratic nominee for Prez. Even the slick ass Repubs are using this tactic (They want her so they can bleed her and defeat her. Their only hope is a run against against Hillary, not Obama). The media seems to be doing a good job because even Hillary believes their bullshit and on top of that, she has convinced herself of that too. Gullible! From day one, her cocky arrogant, overconfident demeanor ("I'm In It To Win It") has allowed her to totally forget that she has extremely stiff competition in this race for the White House and last night on Leno Obama called it right.

It's one thing to think that you have this sewed up but over confidence and underestimating your opponent is both dangerous and silly. This speaks of her inexperience in campaigning and overall judgment (Bill is her ace in the hole and people only support her because of him. Without him, she's easily 3d tier candidate)Hillary and her handlers are avoiding reality. Grassroots is the key to this Dem nomination and Obama has a virtually lock all over america (especially Iowa) in that arena. Not polls sport fans, grassroots. Obama is correct, "Mission Accomplished" is being declared by Hillary way too soon. This works in Obama's favor and he knows that. Political smarts and experience, keys to victory. No panic, Obama, No panic.:thumbsup:

[Laurab]

40. Nicely said.....

I wasn't going to respond to the OP because it's just silly, but thank you for taking the time to explain the obvious to people who must know what was meant, but just like to start nonsense threads, particularly against Obama.

I'm trying to give up on particpating in those threads, but your response was too good to ignore - thank you!

[FlaxieB]

49. Your welcome.

[illinoisprogressive]

28. watch the bots run in circles all wound up about Mission Accomplished.

[TSIAS]

29. Don't worry

It all comes from corporate HQ. Read Hillaryis44, and watch how quick it winds up at this site. If they weren't worried, they wouldn't be so concerned about a quip on a late night TV program.

All it means is that they're worried that Obama and Edwards will beat her in Iowa, crushing the inevitability meme.

[geek tragedy]

31. WATB. nt

[Nimrod2005]

32. You have to admit, that was a great line...very very cool!!!

[rufus dog]

33. um, it is a joke being used in a political campaign to take a shot

at her. Surely you have seen this before. You see, HRC and her supportors have this attitude that comes across as "Get with it y'all, Hillary is the nominee. So some of us who feel that Ms. Clinton and many of her supporters are a tad too arrogant think it is funny word play. Thus the joke. Time for y'all to get some thicker skin.

[zulchzulu]

36. David Brooks was correct that some Hillary supporters are just not that intelligent

I rarely agree with him if at all, but his column in the NYT a week or so back pretty much stated the obvious to me.

Part of being intelligent is having some semblance of a sense of humor. With what seems like a clear indication here on DU, it appears that not only is a sense of humor lacking but there are strong indications of a thin skin as well.

Clinton has peaked 80 days too early. That's the funny part.

[Semper_FiFi]

39. Cheney's cousin has failed to connect with the voters.

Why else would he be down 30% from Hillary.:shrug:

[Colobo]

37. Can calteacher please tell me

where his sense of humor is?

[William769]

42. Can you explain this then?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3620904&mesg_id=3620904

Have at it.

[Zandor]

41. I'm a Hillary supporter, and I don't think it's a big deal

There is a sense of inevitabilty (real or not) about her nomination. Obama is trying to derail that take a 'Mission Accomplished' swipe at the same time.

The 'Mission Accomplished' is an expression, not intended as a direct quote.

[Forkboy]

43. I see what today's outrage de jour will be.

[rodeodance]

45. It was a rhetorical comment he said in context of Leno saying Polls all say

Clinton is ahead. I thought it was a pretty good response.

[Nedsdag]

46. Ah, yes, those Hillary supporters.

Can't take the heat, guys?

You're 150 percentage points ahead and you're all upset over one widdle biddy remark by Obama?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[cuke]

48. I guess no one can answer the question.

Don't bother. Question answered

[jefferson_dem]

50. The OP might have well have asked...

"What's the sound of one hand clapping?"

It's a question with no answer.

[Divine Discontent]

51. oh thank goodness...

this thread just changed my life back, whew..

[AtomicKitten]

52. No sniveling.
