VIDEO: Hillary mocks Obama

Hillary Clinton Mocks Barack Obama During Campaign Rally

Hillary Clinton's campaign is on its last legs after suffering a string of defeats to her rival Barack Obama. Clinton made the decision to go negative in an effort to halt Obama's rising momentum. Today, Clinton was at a campaign rally in Providence, Rhode Island, and she mocked Obama and his message of hope and change in a very theatrical, over-the-top manner.

Watch the video from CNN below, and tell HuffPost whether you think Clinton's line of attack against Obama will help or hurt her campaign:

[shadowknows69]

4. Hillary/Bee girl scandal breaking?

LOL ouch. :spank:

[shadowknows69]

7. Now I'm missing Shannon Hoon

;(

[XemaSab]

10. That outfit....

Should go to the BACK of the closet. x(

[maddiejoan]

2. Kudos to Hillary

right on!

[Flabbergasted]

23. I wonder why people got the idea she was divisive?

[ORDem]

58. Yeah, it's tought to figure out isn't it? Maybe she should go back

to defending child rapists.

:banghead: :banghead:

[ClassWarrior]

26. I agree. I hope she does it every hour on the hour between now and the next primaries.

NGU.

[Flabbergasted]

28. Yep, then she'll lose by such a wide margin there will be no doubt she needs to quit.

[maddiejoan]

29. Me too!

I hope this gets lots of airtime!

[Alexander]

37. You don't realize that these tactics are why she's losing the race.

They are why her negative numbers are so high.

But by all means, keep hate alive. She'll go down in flames spectacularly on March 4th.

[maddiejoan]

39. Guess we'll find out.

:shrug:

[PM7nj]

64. you think this helps her?

attack hopes and dreams and a vision for a better future! people love that!

[NastyRiffraff]

3. I thought it was funny

Of course she was exaggerating; she meant to exaggerate. Good god, grow some layers on your skin, if you think this is awful. You'll need those layers if Obama becomes the nominee, because Republicans won't stop at some humorous mocking.

[Drunken Irishman]

6. Eh, it isn't awful, but it wasn't funny. Just shows her campaign is in meltdown mode.

[Debi]

12. Is that how you'd want your President to behave?

I think she's forgotten that's what she running to be...not just to beat Barack Obama, but to be our President x(

[Drunken Irishman]

15. I've conceded long ago she won't be president, so I don't care how she acts now.

It just further proves she's incompetent and not the type of person we need leading this country.

[Debi]

27. Gotcha

:hi:

[Madam Mossfern]

31. I wonder what your response would be

if Obama mocked Hillary like that?

[Arkana]

46. We'd expect this kind of BS from a Republican.

Not from a fellow Democrat.

[Windy]

48. Its her Dean Scream moment. more the fact that she says that you can't get special interests out

of washington.

[TwilightGardener]

5. She just comes off as a jerk.

[grantcart]

8. It will help the democratic party

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4729992&mesg_id=4729992

[ClassWarrior]

13. Yeah, she's making him look presidential in contrast.

More! More!

NGU.

[peace13]

9. My thinking on this video is that Hillary has decided that she will

never need to call on Obama supporters for help. And that is the nicest thing that I can say about it. Peace, Kim

[Debi]

11. "you are not going to wave a magic wand and have the special interests disappear"

....as long as I'm in office :eyes: (okay, I added that last part...)

She is now embarrassing herself

[publicatlarge]

17. Study in contrast. Obama Rally in Austin...

Warning: this is an article from the NYT.

“I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views,” Mr. Obama wrote in “The Audacity of Hope, his I’m-running-for-president book. “As such, I am bound to disappoint some, if not all, of them.”

Feb. 24, 2008

AUSTIN, Texas - Barack Obama has a Barcalounger manner about him these days, padding about those campaign stages like a man commanding his den.

Mr. Obama is on an electoral roll, polls show him pulling closer in Ohio and Texas, crowds show him the Big Celebrity Love, what’s not to like? A touch of cockiness is discernable in his manner now; he is like a gambler convinced his every dice roll will come up double sixes.

His rally in Austin, Tex., on Friday evening fitted his hoped-for-narrative.

[Exilednight]

14. Everyone speaks of how intelligent she is, but this is one the of the dumbest things I have seen.

[ErnestoG]

66. She isn't dumb, she's just not cut out for this job.

As was evidenced by her sorry spectacle.

[Johnny__Motown]

16. Of course you are not going to wave a magic wand and have special interests disappear you need to..

STOP TAKING MONEY FROM LOBBYISTS

Honesty, is anyone gonna fall for that one?


I watched that speech up until 2:32 et but had to run an errand and left about 5 minutes before that little incident. I am sorry I missed it. Up until then she had been telling us about how bad everything is, mortgage crisis, gas prices, the war etc etc etc. It was so depressing I couldn't believe she was doing it.

Are her new advisors telling her to be as depressive as possible? I suppose that is more money wasted by a failed campaign if they have.

Also, we had a contest on this board a few days ago to guess her next slogan. Did anyone guess "Everything Sucks"? If so I think we have a winner.

[sandnsea]

18. nine more days

and this will all be over.

:crazy:

[shadowknows69]

20. Sadly I don't think she'll quit even after Texas

[CitizenLeft]

47. A-freakin'-men

...and not a moment too soon.

:(

[Flabbergasted]

19. Hillary is showing why so much of the population had a negative view of her,

And making a complete fool of herself and her family.

[Exilednight]

25. Exactly!

[bigtree]

21. I love it!!

thanks for posting *snicker*

[Jersey Devil]

22. As an Obama supporter I don't see anything wrong with it

In fact, I thought it might be quite effective. It makes the point with a bit of sarcasm and makes Hillary look like someone who is not afraid to fight it out.

[yourguide]

24. I think it comes across as jaded

and is insulting to people who are supporting him.

[GoldieAZ49]

30. well ya, ya think!!!

rock star infatuation, him blowing his nose and the crowd goes wild, 20,000 ppl for a stump speech

it is crazy, and we will see if he can hold it together until November.

[GoldieAZ49]

32. it is starting to make me a little nervous

flash in the pan style

[yourguide]

34. you guys can keep spinning this

any way you choose. the bottom line is Obama can inspire and unite people. And if the way he's run his campaign is any indication of the way he'll run this country we'll be in good shape.

The people HRC surrounded herself with have run her campaign into the ground. Didnt get her delegates filed in PA, out of money before super tuesday, cant pay her vendors, had no clue how the primary process in texas worked...should I continue...oh yeah, then there was that pesky vote on the Iraq war.

[TwilightGardener]

36. That's not Obama's fault. You're mixing him up with his media hype--and so is Hillary.

[GoldieAZ49]

53. what happens when the hype is over?

I am no fan of Hillary's, never have been

I voted for O, I like his message, but I am voting for a politician, not an Icon

I don't like the infatuation, rock star, cult of personality, messiah like, etc etc etc public persona

It cannot last until November!

I didn't know this had been building for so long, I guess I wasn't paying attention back then

look at this image from April of last year nymag

the sky is opened, the light is shining O has arrived, all that is missing is the celestial singing




http://nymag.com/news/politics/30634/

[TwilightGardener]

56. I'm voting for a politician too. The hype will come and go--but he's

a damn good politician, a good husband, a good father, and I think his policies and personal history will make him a good--or great--President. Why fall for the RW smear job of him as an empty idol or messiah? That's what Hillary is trying to tap into, with her mockery of him, and it's unfortunate--she should leave that up to the GOP. I was an Obama supporter since he declared, because I'd had my eye on him as a really smart, thoughtful guy who could get something done in Washington. I feel the same way today, watching how he ran his campaign. It's not his fault the media is building him up to tear him down--he doesn't present himself that way, and you shouldn't be buying it.

[Eric J in MN]

33. It's true that the special interests aren't going anywhere, but...

...which candidate is more tied to the special interests?

At least Obama doesn't take money from federal lobbyists.

[TheDoorbellRang]

35. Obama's doing a good job of making the media folks like him, too

Which, like it or not, plays a role in this silly thing we call a campaign run. From the end of that article:

...perhaps it is more fun playing the tease. In Edinburg, Tex., Mr. Obama briefly stuck his head through a blue curtain at the far end of the press room.

“Crank it up, guys,” he yelled to reporters bent over their laptops. “Words matter. Don’t listen to Hillary.”

To which he added: “That’s a joke.”

A reporter asked a question. The candidate smiled. And he disappeared from sight.

[Quixote1818]

38. That was disgusting and childish. nt

[qanda]

40. Wow! As someone who supports Obama from afar

All I can say is who do I call to get more involved in his campaign? This is the stuff that makes you want to run and defend someone you like.

[tammywammy]

41. Your profile says you are in Maryland

Here's a link for you
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/mdhome

Plenty of ways to get involved.

[qanda]

50. Cool. I will get started right away

I couldn't vote in the Primary because I'm an Independent but I will definitely do what I can to make sure Obama gets the nomination.

On edit:

Thank you.

[GoldieAZ49]

54. makes me want to run and hide until November n/t

[City Lights]

42. How mature.

:eyes:

This is the result of those 35 years of experience?

[thoughtcrime1984]

43. I'd like to wave a magic wand

and make HER disappear. :puke:

[Arkana]

44. Stay classy, Hillary.

I'm sure voters love to see you mocking a fellow Democrat.

[usregimechange]

45. Obama has said a countless times that it will be difficult...

[Eric J in MN]

51. Yes, it's part his stump speech to say it will be difficult. NT

NT

[jenmito]

49. K&(5th)R! Let more people see how low she goes! Bill Schneider, on CNN, showed that

clip and said it doesn't seem to work when she goes negative like this, and he called it "mocking Obama" like others have. I hope she keeps it up. She's so tone deaf!

[Hutzpa]

52. I see it as the icing on the cake

the be it all and end it all speech. Not that I expect you to understand......

but eh!

[mtnsnake]

55. Hahahahaha! I hope to hell she mocks him like that for the duration!! LMAO!

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

[ErnestoG]

65. Me too! As she loses the nomination, she can replay the videos

to make her feel better!

[ORDem]

57. K&R! Look who forgot to act like a grownup. Presidential material?

My god this woman is so utterly self-absorbed and condescending. Someone give her a kingdom to rule. Her and McCain should do a road show of their mendacious, pandering, infantile tricks together.

:dem:

[RBInMaine]

59. Desperation and Juvenile Foolishness! Makes her look SILLY !

Talk about the "silly season" being here, what a desperate fool. She's hanging herself.

[OzarkDem]

60. Love it!

[DemGa]

61. Wonderful!! It can only help to expose this fad!!.......nt

[TheDonkey]

62. LOVE IT. This makes her look like a desperate fool and a jerk

This is the same type of crap she tried to pull and got BOOed for in an audience that wasn't full of her plants. The campaign is in its death throes.

[ErnestoG]

63. Hillary reminds me of Poppy Bush when Bill Clinton was overtaking him...

in the run up to election '92. I recall the flustered, sputtering Bush angrily making fun of Clinton's nose (bozo) because he felt his entitled second term slipping from his grasp.

Hillary's little theater attempt has the same feel.

[cottonseed]

67. She's mocking Obama's supporters.

[BringBigDogBack]

68. Hahahahahahahahahaha/

Hahahahahahaha.

Hahaha!


Ahem. Bwahaha :rofl:

Holy shit. :thumbsup:

[Coexist]

69. this reminds me of the GHW Bush "My dog Millie has more foreign policy

experience than Bill Clinton" moment.

And it did nothing for him.

[BringBigDogBack]

70. someone should play this back for her...

so that she can see how fucking stupid it looks.

[bigdarryl]

71. HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY!!! Will you please stop making a fool of your self you just...

don't look good being an attack dog

[BootinUp]

72. Some realism is good don't ya think? nt

[jbm]

73. Hillary nailed him to the wall!

and it's about time!

[ariesgem]

74. ...

[krkaufman]

75. Does Hillary really want to be planting the visual of her waving a magic wand?

Won't that make people think of her as a "starts with a w, rhymes with bitch."
