Can you imagine what Hillary would have said if Obama made similar remarks?

[GarbagemanLB]

Can you imagine the ads she would make? The press releases/conferences with reporters leaping on the remarks and using them to justify how 'unfit' and 'inexperienced' Obama is for the job of President?

Yet Axelrod goes out there and basically defends Clinton.

And people wonder why there is such hatred for Hillary. Leaping on 'Bittergate', leaping on Wright, leaping on Ayers, leaping on Farrakhan....karma sure sucks, doesn't it, Hillary?

Re: Reckless and Unfit

Running for the office of President of the United States is like a long interview process. Every day, candidates meet normal Americans and try to win their confidence, hoping that they will choose them for the job. The process is long and hard, and it's not for everyone. Some thrive, some falter. But when you're up for the toughest job in the world, you can't have a "bad day." Every day, every hour, every minute is important to the American people, and today, Senator Obama showed that he's simply not ready for the challenges of the office he seeks.

Currently trailing in pledged delegates, superdelegates, the popular vote, and states won, Senator Obama's campaign is also in tremendous financial debt. Yet he continues in his quest for the nomination, hoping that somehow Senator Clinton will make a misstep, or that some new scandal is revealed. But today, to a shocked nation, Senator Obama stated that he would continue his quest until June, invoking the assassination of Robert Kennedy as justification for his Sisyphean campaign. It was reckless, tasteless, crass, and shows just how far Senator Obama has fallen since the early days of his campaign. Hope? Change? Not anymore. Today it's "Fear You Can Believe In."

Senator Obama should know, more than any other candidate, the perils of being a historic and culturally significant candidate. As a woman, there are no shortage of threats to Senator Clinton's life on the campaign trail, and every day is an exercise in courage.

Senator Obama should be ashamed of himself. If he had any decency at all, he would drop out of the race. As we have come to learn, however, the only thing important to Senator Obama is his vainglorious and narcissistic run for the office of President. No other concern worries Senator Obama - not the grave challenges this country faces, not the need to unify the Democratic Party, and certainly not the safety of his challenger.

Today Senator Obama showed why he should not and cannot be President of the United States. He is too young, too inexperienced, and too unconcerned of the tragedies of history to tackle the serious and daunting challenges of the next eight years. While waiting patiently for Senator Clinton to implode, Barack Obama did exactly that today.

This press release would be followed by a commercial, made in haste, on the streets of South Dakota, and comprised solely of women:

EXT. Streets of Sioux Falls

Ominous music swells as white text begins to pop up on a black screen:

Why did he say it?

Cut to a montage of middle aged white women standing on the streets of Sioux Falls:

Woman 1 (looking shocked): He didn't... (shaking her head)

Woman 2 (angry): What exactly did he mean by that? Huh? You tell me.

Woman 3 (sad): We just don't need that kind of stuff.

Woman 4 (spitting mad): What do I tell my daughters?

Woman 5 (calm, normal): I knew he'd put his foot in mouth sometime. What is he, like 30?

Woman 6 (contemplative): I used to like him so much. What happened to him?

Woman 7 (firm, determined): He ain't doing nothing for us no more. Why's he still runnin'?

Woman 8 (sad): Why did he say it? What was he trying to pull?

Fade to black.

VO: Barack Obama. Young. Inexperienced. Reckless. Tasteless. And wrong.

Hillary Clinton picture fades up.

VO: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message!!

4. Wow, that Harold Ickes thing was frighteningly accurate.

[GarbagemanLB]

6. Wow. Thanks for posting that.

[ikojo]

3. Can you imagine the MSM's response

if Obama alluded to assassination? Wow! The voices calling for him to withdraw his candidacy would be heard in the silence of space.

Look at how long they pastorbated about Rev Wright. Anything Hillary does is excused but if Obama makes a remark ("bitterness") it is taken out of context and used against him.

[Captain Hilts]

5. Ollberman made impolitic remarks about violence against Clinton.

There wasn't much outrage here.

Her comment was stupid.

[Gore1FL]

7. He was talking about her campaign

And gave a real apology. Additionally he isn't running for president.

[Window]

8. Please.

If Sen. Obama had said or done even one of the things Hillary has said and done throughout this long campaign, it would have been over for him immediately.

Up until her subconcious assasination blunder yesterday, Hillary has been holding the Democratic Party hostage, and the party elders have been acting as if they were suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome.

I think the SDs know they have to step in ASAP before she totally implodes, taking the party and all chances for the GE with her.

[ampad]

9. They would of imploded on this board

The MSM would of went ape shit and her supporters on this board would of went crazy with accusations. Just look at the way they behaved during bitter gate. Hell, you would of thought Obama personally slapped them in the face. It's funny to see so many of them spinning and claiming faux outrage now that the tables are turn. I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. What comes around goes around.

[GarbagemanLB]

10. Yep.

[cbc5g]

11. She would have gone on Fox News to complain

Obama is better then her. He has decency and class, something Hillary could really use.
