Hillary's campaign: She's JFK - Barack Obama is George Bush

[nichomachus]

So, she's an American hero and Barack Obama is like a war criminal. Let's hear it for her quest to "heal" the split in the party.

CLEAR FORK, W.Va. - Hillary Rodham Clinton compared her underdog quest for the White House yesterday to John F. Kennedy's 1960 campaign - while her top strategist likened Barack Obama's sky-high confidence to George W. Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" declaration.

"It was West Virginia that made it possible for John Kennedy to become president," Clinton told 400 supporters at a local high school. "John Kennedy didn't have the number of delegates he needed when he went to the convention in 1960; he had something equally as important - he had West Virginia behind him."

Later, Clinton's top strategist, Geoff Garin, told MSNBC that the campaign would continue to push forward despite calls for her to forgo the final three weeks and the campaign's admission Sunday that it is at least $20 million in debt.

"We've already had one unfortunate experience with a leader declaring 'mission accomplished' when it really wasn't," Garin said, referring to the now infamous sign that greeted Bush aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln following the fall of Baghdad in 2003.

1. There must be some sort of OTC medication for these poor delusional people...lol..

[skipos]

2. Who voted for the "mission" that was accomplished?

I can't remember.

[ossman]

5. And NEVER read the NIE before the vote. Shame on you HRC.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hmmmm. I've not heard Obama declare himself the winner.

And Senator Clinton: you are no John Kennedy.

[cali]

8. garin is simply a foul little pos and a liar

You're right, Obama has said nothing of the sort. her campaign is disgusting.

[NightWatcher]

4. so, Hillary has a thing for Marilyn Monroe?

:rofl:

[CakeGrrl]

6. She is SO full of shit

Remind me again WHY she should be considered for VP?

At NO time has Obama ever claimed victory. He has been very specific in saying that he has NOT yet won and that his campaign has a lot of work to do.

She just plain fuckin' sucks.

Keep drowning in debt, Hillary. You've earned it.

[Yael]

I am beyond loathing them at this point.

7. What will she say next.

JFK is believed to have stolen WV to win 1960. Oh well.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

9. WV is in the bottom quintile for electoral votes.

Carry on.

[dailykoff]

10. If there's such a thing as blasphemy, that's it.

But then the neocons used to compare "dubya" to JFK too.

[rove karl rove]

11. don't see the parallels here

except that they're both Democrats...it's like Reagan to the GOP, every candidate in this party is a JFK-heir(ess) wannabe.

[mystieus]

12. At this rate, Godwin's Law is likely to take effect any minute now.

[BlueManDude]

13. RFK campaigned to stop war and devisiveness. HRC campaigns for...HRC.

[barack the house]

14. We really should just move on to McCain now. I don't feel the negative tactics are going anywhere.

[MonkeyFunk]

15. wow

that's quite a stretch. I mean your interpretation of it.

[nichomachus]

16. Wow -- those are quotes -- have another

glass of Kool-Aid
