CNN has run Hillary's rant five times
in the past half hour, but not run Obama's response even once. What's confusing is that Hillary is the victim of the media, how could this be happening?

2. Good. Let America learn what Ohio will not tolerate, Obama lies!
Obama has crossed the line...can't come up with a good excuse either when interviewed on Columbus, Ohio. He blinked...then babbled!

13. "Let America learn what Ohio will not tolerate, Obama lies!"
.......because Ohio's slide into a state of financial disarray began under Bill Clinton?

Great message........

18. Wow, another braid dead comment from you... How about some substance...
here are some garbage mailers from HRC that have proven to be bunk

www.factcheck.org/

Hillary mailers twistObama’s words and gives a false picture of his proposals:

It says he "wants to raise Social Security taxes by a trillion dollars," a big distortion. Obama has said a “good option” would be to apply Social Security payroll taxes to incomes over $97,500 a year, but that would only affect taxes paid by 6.5 percent of individuals and couples. And he hasn’t formally proposed such a move anyway.


The Clinton mailer says Obama has "no plan" for a moratorium on foreclosures such as the one Clinton has proposed. That’s true, but Obama has his own plan for homeowner relief. The mailer leaves the impression that Obama has "no plan" at all, which is false.


It says Obama "voted for Dick Cheney's energy bill that gives huge tax breaks to oil companies," another distortion. By the time Congress passed the 2005 energy bill, it raised taxes on the oil industry more than it decreased them and also contained billions for alternative fuels research and subsidies for energy-efficient buildings and vehicles.
Analysis
The battle between Democratic front-runners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is turning into one fought with good old-fashioned snail mail. Both have launched attacks on the other through fliers delivered to voters' mailboxes. Here we take a look at a recent Clinton mailer sent out in Arizona, which was posted on The Atlantic magazine's Web site. Clinton has made similar claims in a mailer distributed in Nevada and in Democratic debates.


Trillion-Dollar Tax Hike


Perhaps the most eye-catching claim in the Clinton mailer is the charge that Obama "wants to raise Social Security taxes by a trillion dollars." That's an awful distortion. Nothing Obama has proposed or supported would affect Social Security taxes paid by the overwhelming majority of workers.
Clinton Mailer on Economic Issues


Which presidential candidate will solve America’s toughest economic problems?

Only Hillary Clinton has the right solutions for America.

Hillary Clinton. A plan to cut taxes for the middle class. A comprehensive plan to end the housing crisis with a moratorium on foreclosures and a freeze in mortgage rates for at-risk homeowners. Redirect billions in oil company profits to alternative energy research to find solutions to our energy crisis and create 5 million

4. I don't think this will help Hillary.
They can play this thing a thousand times per minute, but it looks like Obama's numbers will just continue to rise.

8. Because Hillary's Rant is Theatre Extravaganza. Obama's response is dignified and even toned,
Edited on Sat Feb-23-08 05:07 PM by K Gardner
not yelling and pontificating, i.e., NOT good TV.

This is not a good thing for Hillary.

9. Come on. What was your first impression when you saw the clip?
And what's been your impression after numerous viewings of the clip?

I'm going to guess that it is not favorable to Mrs. Clinton.

Let them play the clip all day everyday until March 4th.

16. Listen to the way
she says, "So you can give your speeches..." and such.

She sounds like a teenager.

21. Run this as a repeating loop all weekend long, CNN...
Every time it is shown, another undecided voter moves away from Hillary.

24. Exactly. The race is about undecided voters at this point.
This clip will only reinforce Clinton supporters' hatred of Obama.

This clip will only generate outrage on behalf of Obama from his supporters.

But those who still haven't made up their mind are going to see this and not feel good about Clinton. These people, in the primaries so far, have been trending towards Obama and this will reinforce that trend.

22. Well, honestly,
My first reaction? She reminded me of my mom, except she left out, "Now go to your room!"

It was horrible. Brought back flashbacks and all.

15. Theyve also been saying "the candidates" are going on the attack.
The candidates? Come on. The spaz out is all on Hillary. Such biased BS.

17. Question is do you want to hear Hillary like this for the next four years.
I hope I'm not being sexist, but I don't think this would appeal to a man, especially one who gets it all the time from his wife.
