1. Nope, and he won't either. He has moved passed Hillary and is focused on McCain

21. This election stopped being about Clinton months ago.
OH NOES, Obama is ignoring Hillary.








It must be because he is sexist
:sarcasm:

7. Look at what you just wrote and ask yourself who is being divisive.
You are slinging accusations and insults around willy-nilly and yet you can't see that it is Obama supporters like YOU who are the cause of ALL the divisiveness.

I bet you can't find a single statement from Hillary of one of her supporters on this board that is as divisive and insulting as just the first three words of your post.

Go ahead. Try to find one.

When you can't, come on back here and I'll show you how it is also the Obama Campaign, not Clinton's, that is being racist.

18. It makes sense to them.
It's like Hitler in his bunker, popping speed and splitting his time between fantasizing about crazy Deus ex machina scenarios for victory and venting murderous rage against the German people for failing him. It would be funny if it weren't so sad...




Nope, still funny.

20. Perhaps this answers your query
"... worki... hard working Americans, white Americans ..." emphasis as in the original broadcast.

Or perhaps the statements that certain states do not count ...

These are, by definition, divisive

3. I don't see any TV ads, bumper stickers, or t-shirts being sold by the Obama campaign
like the Clintons did with the "bitter" comments.

6. I doubt John Kerry will agree with that now.
Hopefully in the GE Obama will fight hard.

15. heh, in the words of Jason Linkins from the Huffington Post...
"Dowd thinks that Obama is not as "intimidated of McCain" as he seemed to be with Clinton. He's "freer." Yes, Haircut, it is almost as if Obama and McCain are members of opponent parties that traditionally spar with one another, as opposed to being members of the same party, courting the same constituencies. It's sort of amazing how that all works!"

8. He doesn't have to. He's running against McCain
and it will be up to the Clintons to repair the damage they have done themselves.

9. This isn't about Obama. It's about Clinton.
Edited on Sun May-25-08 03:31 PM by Life Long Dem
Is she going to be waiting on the sidelines?

I'd also like to know where the campaign slogan or saying - "do anything" ends? As in - "I will 'do anything' to win" the/this election.


On edit. I misread the OP post, instead of portraying this to Clinton supporters it went to the wrong person or the OP.

10. Of course he has, using the same tactics he always does: says one thing in front of the camera
while encouraging the media to run with the story from behind the scenes:

"Obama Campaign Flogs Olbermann's Hillary-RFK Rant to Media

On ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, the host asked Obama campaign chairperson David Axelrod whether the Obama campaign was stirring up the attacks on Hillary Clinton over her RFK remarks to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader. When Alexrod denied that the Obama campaign was engaged in such activity, Stephanopoulos reported that the Obama campaign had sent out an email on Saturday with Keith Olbermann's vitriolic Hillary-RFK Special Comment."

16. David Axelrod was on Hardball at 5 on Friday
and also said that Hillary Clinton just misspoke and that since she apologized, she deserves the benefit of the doubt from people. Chris Matthews tried to trap him, but Axelrod wouldn't go there.
