So the oil companies have had no influence with politicians the

[hedgehog]

last 100 years? Thanks Bill, that's good to know!

1. That has to be a distortion.

He wouldn't say that. That's just ridiculous.

[uponit7771]

2. HRC and the MsM are trying to make the argument that if rich people contribute to a campaign then...

...it's not grassroots.

[redqueen]

13. They are depending on their audience being ...

well nevermind. No point.

[uponit7771]

14. I know what your talking about, I think that's a huge demographic that shapes US politics

5. Wow

So what do you call the Obama camp staging the back drop for his wife the other day. I need more white people, ring a bell!

[DerekJ]

6. Where da hell do you hail from ?!!!

Staging the backdrop is done by all campaigns. Get a clue.

[Moderate-Democrate]

7. So you are saying

They stage them by race?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

11. Yes, all campaigns stage their background audiences so that it looks like they have a diverse

range of racial support.

[redqueen]

16. Age, race... even clothing... are you new to politics?

[Moderate-Democrate]

21. No I am not

Let me say this, Hillary will win by a large margain in a couple of weeks. You may think I am new. Good one.

24. Welcome to DU on your first day here.

Enjoy your stay!

[Catherina]

8. I know it must hurt you so to see so many self-hating White people

but try to control yourself.

[Moderate-Democrate]

10. Hum

I see Obama always pulling the race card all the time. This is getting old. I just disagree with your position.

[redqueen]

15. Hah... I love how he just casually forgets to mention "Washington Lobbyists"

:rofl:

He treats his audience like frickin rubes...

[Moderate-Democrate]

17. Let us talk about lobbyist

If Obama will release his State Senate records we could find out if he is as clean as he says he is!

[redqueen]

19. Maybe he'll do it after she releases her earmarks.

:hi:

[Moderate-Democrate]

23. Good Try

would have released them when her 11,000 document were released.

Look what Obama said on meet the press: Nov 11, 2007. Now spinn this redqueen.

You talked about Senator Clinton having records released from the Clinton Library regarding her experience as first lady, and yet when you were asked about, “What about eight years in the state senate of Illinois,” you said, “I don’t know.” Where, where are the—where are your records?

SEN. OBAMA: Tim, we did not keep those records. I...

MR. RUSSERT: Are they gone?

SEN. OBAMA: Well, let’s be clear. In the state senate, every single piece of information, every document related to state government was kept by the state of Illinois and has been disclosed and is available and has been gone through with a fine-toothed comb by news outlets in Illinois. The, the stuff that I did not keep has to do with, for example, my schedule. I didn’t have a schedule. I was a state senator. I wasn’t intending to have the Barack Obama State Senate Library. I didn’t have 50 or 500 people to, to help me archive these issues. So...

MR. RUSSERT: But your meetings with lobbyists and so forth, there’s no record of that?

SEN. OBAMA: I did not have a scheduler, but, as I said, every document related to my interactions with government is available right now. And, as I said, news outlets have already looked at them.

MR. RUSSERT: Is your schedule available anywhere? Are—the records exist?

SEN. OBAMA: I—Tim, I kept my own schedule. I didn’t have a scheduler.

MR. RUSSERT: Senator Durbin, your colleague, publishes his schedule each day. Would you do that?

SEN. OBAMA: Well, you know, these days I have a public presidential schedule that I think everybody has access to.

Where are his records.

[redqueen]

25. You mean where is his schedule.

:shrug:

Dunno... and I would be curious to see it too. But the thing is... I understand these are politicians, and they do politician things (like avoid disclosing things). At this point I have the predisposition to give him *more* benefit of the doubt about these things than I do her. Do you know why?

[SwampG8r]

27. ok folks heres a contest for us

which tombstoned freeper is this?
1st prize an obama presidency

[Moderate-Democrate]

4. I do not think that is what Bill was saying!

I do not agree with your position. He was talking about Obama's twisted ad.

[Catherina]

9. Not quite

[Moderate-Democrate]

12. Good one, sorry you feel that way.

Truth hurst!

[donheld]

29. Yes truth hursts very very badly

[SwampG8r]

28. hillarys republican guard

[redqueen]

18. He is dissembling. Or is it disassembling? (that means not tell the truth)

He uses the strawman of "companies giving money" to avoid talking about lobbyists.

[hedgehog]

20. I like the word "disassembling" as in trying to disassemble his record

and its connection to Hillary's!

[redqueen]

22. I just like referring to that Bushism.

:D

[cooolandrew]

26. Arbusto oil, Chevron. The oil money that Reagan took power with removing Carter's solar panels. Nah

Nah it couldn't be oil.
