1. Her flight was delayed - another resounding victory for Obama! GOBAMA!

"I am not that invested in the fights of the 60's and 70s" wins the photo op contest!

5. Media Bias?

"But the visual that will be all over local newscasts on this MLK holiday, is one of a joyous Obama, smiling, marching with throngs of supporters - and not a Clinton in sight."

Doesn't ABC News sound like a real Obama cheerleader?


"One sign near the front of the march read "no Clinton dynasty"."

Well it's nice to see they put partisanship aside for the march. It's also interesting to see Obama using another Rethug talking point.

7. Awww...

And her latest campaign meme has been all about micro-management...

Sure, it might not of been (totally) her fault but the fact is she wasn't there. Sometimes oddball things happen that leave a lasting impression.

3. Wait for it... wait for it...

...any second now some ObamaNational will post Clinton missed the march on purpose as some part of her evil plan to steal the black vote...

4. She's flying in on the back of Chi-Chi.

FLY CHI-CHI, FLY!

6. And some of the Clinton people will claim that Obama sabotaged her plane

and so it goes...

8. LOL, her private corporate jet was delayed? Must be a story there.

[MethuenProgressive]

10. "corporate"? Is that really the only bad word Edwardians know?

Tell us dearie, what's "corporate" about her plane?

15. Check out this piece from.....

Use of private jet travel

On May 30, 2007, Senator Clinton faced criticism at a campaign stop in Las Vegas, Nevada for accepting rides on a private jet from longtime campaign contributer Vinod Gupta, CEO of the data company InfoUSA Inc. Gupta faced a lawsuit by InfoUSA shareholders for excessive company spending of millions of dollars, including $900,000 spent on Clinton's travel. Clinton claimed she did not violate Senate rules and used the then-current appropriate reimbursement process for travel on private jets.<1>

11. Here's a clue for you...

perhaps the weather is to blame.......and planes have to 'wait their turn'....if one is late taking off they all are. :eyes:

9. A flight with HRC aboard was delayed? Sounds suspicious. n/t

:sarcasm:

12. Another distortion of the perception of the facts .

Just like when she mentioned MLK and they blue that out of whack. Now they are trying to do it again. They can't seem to run on honest facts and have to resort to half truths...like incriminating Hillary decided not to march or thought it unimportant or was scared etc when the real fact is that HER PLANE WAS DELAYED AND SHE MISSED THE EVENT. But keep spreading lies...it always seems to work...with the help of the media.

13. No snub. This stuff happens all the time in a National Campaign,folks.
