5. so now Hillary runs CNN and controls their content?
And she also forced Barack to associate with his good friend Tony for nearly 17 years as well as making him take all those dirty campaign contributions?

wow, that's one powerful lady!

10. No... Just Saying She Needs to Use Dirty Tactics
she needs to get under Obama's skin to show an angry side. She's weaker than he is in that respect. Fighting with him, will tear him down. It's an effective tactic used by a weaker candidate.

Money can buy image... so yes... she is weaker
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 05:17 PM by fascisthunter
and much more compromised politically. She needs lot's of money and media favor to win. COme now... do not pretend to be naive. You know how this works. It's part of the reason Bush boy got elected (edit for correction: selected with the image that he won, thanks to that bought and payed for media).

2. Can we retire "water" and "gate" for every f-ing scandal already?
And replace it with "bush"

Slumbush. Travelbush. Bushbush.

4. thank you for posting this
I rarely watch CNN and must admit this piece was damaging. Barack's Rezko issue is FAR more complicated than 5 hours of work ... and there may be those who heard him in the debate assert that who may decide after seeing this that Barack was not being honest.

If you're going to sell yourself as the New Politics of Hope and Change, you better be squeaky clean.

7. Obama's answer in the debate proved there was more there. This goes deep.

12. according to my friends in Chicago
we've just dipped our toe in the rank water that is the Obama-Rezko swamp.

:popcorn:

Perhaps that's why Hillary and Edwards spoke about it behind closes doors after the debate? She knows how bad it is and knows it would kill Barack's chances at the Presidency. Her calling him out on it was the kick-in-the-butt the National Media needed.

21. Yep, he lied. Plain and simple...
I suppose he'll just say; 'it was a bonehead thing to do' and all will be forgiven...as usual.

9. This is very bad for Obama
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 05:11 PM by sunonmars
They basically said he's heavily been caught in an organized system of money campaign laundering. A whole 10 minute segment on it.

It paints him as dirty.

38. If that's the damage from the dems...imagine what the GOP would do to him.
He needs to set up a stronger history that will outride this scandal.

13. Hillary said Obama represented Rezko as a lawyer.
He did not.
The video said that there is nothing illegal about what Obama did.

Hillary and Bill have done far worse.

Did you take a wrong turn somewhere?

29. If this story was about any politician other than Obama
I would think KO would have the reporter on Countdown or do a detailed story. Since it is Obama I bet he does not. I will watch tonight and hope I am wrong.
