Obama Mocks Clinton Mocking Obama

Last Sunday, Hillary Clinton "stood in the rec center at Rhode Island College and mocked fellow presidential candidate Barack Obama for his campaign's theme of hope, saying Obama can't just 'wave a magic wand and have the special interests disappear.'" On Saturday, Obama took the same stage and couldn't resist bringing up her comments. CNN describes the scene:

"I think she was here, right?" Obama said toward the end of his stump speech. "She was saying 'Oh, you know, he thinks that the clouds will part and... he's so naïve.'"

The room quickly erupted in "boos."

"Wait, wait, wait," he said.

"He thinks he can wave a magic wand," he continued, mocking Clinton's impression, "and suddenly everything will be great."

Obama then went in to his standard stump lines, saying it's true he "talks about hope a lot." He then defended his rationale in doing so.

good for Obama.

6. .

I saw the short video that they provided. I know it was supposed to be a clever headline but does that really constitute mocking in the sense of ridiculing someone's behaviour? I prefer the manner he uses to address these kind of issues and the way he explained it. He even wanted the booing against Hillary Clinton to stop.

7. i agree that he had a right to take a swing back at her for that remark

but doing that is sorta like stooping to her level, dont you think?

[shraby]

9. He said he was going to hit back immediately

at negativity.

8. Both of them are wrong..

They're acting like 6 year olds, not candidates for President of the USA.

10. Obama seemed to handle this one pretty well, and didn't seem to

miss a beat.

I notice also how swiftly and effectively he responded to Clinton's phone ad.
