Screw the politics of hope!

It's sad how she STILL hasn't figured out that the country is not trying to hear that anymore. More reason I feel nervous every time I try to picture _her_ as President. :-\

"Screw the politics of hope?" It's not scare tactics, it's reality! Why is this a "ploy"? It's just as much a possiblility as ....."yes, we can!" !!

Senator Clinton has now joined McCain in a campaign of FEAR! McCain is a FEAR mongering, HATE mongering, and WAR mongering candidate for president of AMERIA, HOME OF THE BRAVE AND LAND OF THE FREE. Anyone too fragile for freedom and bravery should find another country to represent! Bon Voyage!

Chagrined,

Around the world, President Bush has the lowest approval rating ever among U.S. presidents of recent memory. As Senator Clinton enjoys an overwhelming approval rating worldwide, would it not be logical to elect her as president so she can repair our tarnish image?

"'It's 3 a.m., and your children are safe and asleep, but there's a phone in the White House and it's ringing,' says the narrator in Clinton's ad.

"Something's happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call, whether it's someone who already knows the world's leaders, knows the military -- someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world.

"'Hello, White House?'"

"'Yes?'"

"'Who is this, please?'

"'Monica ...'

"'Who?'

"'Monica ...'

"'MONICA?!?!?!?!'

"'Yes, remember me?'"

TALK ABOUT AN ANATOMIC, ER, ATOMIC NIGHTMARE SCENARIO ...

Yup. The politics of fear again. I half-expected the advert to end by someone picking up the phone and hearing Hillary in panting breath saying, "Check the children" --- while someone else screams, "The phone call is coming from inside the house!"

(FYI: Clinton has offended many leaders over the years. Obama's popularity is electrifying the world media. It would make more sense to elect him.)

Actually, Melvin, Barack has a much higher international approval rating than Hillary. He would be a great choice to represent the United States internationally.

"As Senator Clinton enjoys an overwhelming approval rating worldwide, would it not be logical to elect her as president so she can repair our tarnish image?"

That's just dumb, Melvyn. No one likes George W. except Republicans in this country. Even if Hillary was popular overseas, she's still unpopular with Republicans and, after this ad, more than a few Democrats. If Hillary can't win the respect of her country after cheap shots like this, how could the world possibly take her seriously?

Dear Melvyn,

Considering foreign approval of the candidates, you should first do your homework: Sen. Clinton atractiveness is FAR behind Sen. Obama's in most foreign countries. For sure in mine. And I'm not backing him.

Unfortunately she has an max approval rating of 49% and about as divisive as Bush in this country. I am sick of this politics of fear.

Well said Melvyn!

Hillary '08!!

Personally, I fear it may be Monica Lewinsky picking up the phone :)

Why is Hillary fully dressed at 3:00 in the morning?

All the tactics of Hilary,Machiavellian or dirty are not going to work and earn her any dividend. People have learnt to understand that positive traits make a good leader not cooked up tricks, like projection of relationship with elites or the fantasy of so called experience with no worthwhile learning or results.A leader with vision,wider perspective,candor ,nerves and guts doesn't get jittery with a jolt of defeat to go haywire but can analyse his/her lapses and lackings to mend them timely and effectively. That makes Obama and not Hilary.

No, "MidwestIowa" there's nothing real about it.

As Clinton gets more disparate, her true colors begin to show brightly (to those that hadn't seen them before).
Her ad is the most Rovian thing she's tried yet. The little Neocon in Hillary is really beginning to show.

You want to know why this White, Male, Christian Southerner from the great state of Tennessee is voting for Barack Obama? Two reasons....
1) John Edwards is gone.
2) Obama's voting record is better than Clinton's.

I don't care if he's male or female, I don't care how black his ass is, I will even let him slide for kissing up to those Zionist pigs at the ADL.
Barack Obama has his head screwed on right. He's just not a lying career politician.

He is not pro war like she is.
He is not anti privacy like little miss Real ID/Patriot Act is.
He is not a corporate whore like she is.
And his last name isn't Bush or Clinton. Those two names ring like Bin Laden in my ears far more than Obama ever will.

Hillary Clinton is just like her old man, she'll lie to anyone, anywhere in her thirst for power. I'm tired of being stabbed in the back by these insider vermin.

Sorry, but he's the better person, and most trustworthy of the two. Voting records do not lie.

It’s not the struggle of compaign teams alone but outcome of the application of traits of the contestants.The mesmerization of voters and media as it appears is not on account of any biased propensity but true reflection of traits. So the past glitters and connections can’t go far enough to eclipse,the insight,balance and candor of Obama.Let the myths and rotten conventions be busted to help Americans pick the leadership which can meet the challenge of time.Obama,is the man of hour in 21st century

Obama once again deflects the attacks with precision.
He has run a flawless campaign & come from behind with good honest hard working ingenuity. His campaign responded by airing a rebuttal ad within hours of this piece of garbage being aired & THAT'S the kind of decisive leadership we need. Our Time has Come, Our Movement is Real, & Change is Coming to America...
OBAMA '08
Anybody else notice the story about Mark Penn & Charlie Black being in bed through Corporate incest???

Americans should judge their leaders by their actions. The actions of the Clintons are not we as Americans can be proud of, we need a CHANGE. We do not want the Clintons to again bring shame to the White House

Hillary we don't have to be asleep at 3am to know your judgement on National Security issues.
We all saw you cast your vote with Bush during the day. We also see the results of that
vote with the 29,203 U.S. Military wounded in Iraq. Voters do have a choice on Tuesday and
the good news is that it won't 3 am!

Well, if that what the gist of Sen. Clinton's latest ad is (Screw the Politics of Hope)then I say "Screw it!". I am not voting for a president to 'make me feel warm & fuzzy".I am voting for the next leader of the free world.
She hit the nail on the head as far as I am concerned.
I am troubled by the 3 ring circus surrounding our presidential election and by Sen. Obama's shoddy legislative record back in Illinois. I have been forced to do my own research to learn about him as a candidate. The media-with very few exceptions-has provided us with NO SUBSTANTIVE information about Sen. Obama's decision-making and voting record.I dont mean 'how did he vote' I mean how did he decide what to vote for; how could he have sponsored/cosponsored/voted for so many pieces of legislation in such a short time? What about the strength of the bills he sponsored? For example, back in 2/07 he sponsored a bill which def.the legal structure to prosecute State Dept contractor crimes in US courts. Here is the kicker-he forgot to include (OOPs my bad) how the contractor crimes can be monitored eddectively. He sponsored a 'toothless tiger' bill. I am so disappointed with how quickly-and with very little check on the candidate's background- MOVEON.ORG endorsed him so early in the process. And Sen. Kennedy and Caroline and Zbignew Brezinski- did they have access to a different set of information than the public has to base their decision on? What did they base their endorsement of him on? What about all the heavy-hitters in the Republican party who are endorsing him? I feel as if I have stepped into the twilight zone.

Good pointage, Chapman.

Mark Penn is a dirt bag. One of the reasons I could never trust Hillary's judgment is the fact that his ties to Murder Incorporated (aka Blackwater USA) didn't even phase her.

Penn is a vile humanoid in the tradition of Erik Prince. When Hillary and Bill are sitting around lamenting her demise, hopefully they'll remember the age old premise....
Bad fruit corrupts the whole tree.

If you’re running for President, you should be up-to-date on current events. For Obama not to know Al Qaeda is in Iraq is inexcusable. It shows how uninformed he really is. Why should we trust him with national security when he doesn’t do his homework? I’ll stick with Hillary because she’s well-informed on the issues. I trust her with national security. Let’s not forget, she’s married to a former President. I consider that a big plus.

Senator Rockefeller Endorses Barack Obama

“Today, we remain a country at war, and countless mistakes over the last six and a half years have made us less safe. The stakes have never been higher, and that is why we must take a stand.

“I am not just supporting Barack Obama because of his strength on national security. I am equally proud of his commitment to rebuild America – so that we’re a country of equality and prosperity – where no segment of society is left behind. I know Barack Obama will fight and win the battle for health care, good paying jobs, and energy security.

“Barack Obama is a uniquely gifted, brilliant and strategic thinker, who genuinely understands the hopes and desires of the American people. There is nothing sheltered about his life; he’s always had to work hard, and he’s always fought to make his community and his country better.

“A leader like Barack Obama just doesn’t come along very often, and as voters who care passionately about the future of our country, we cannot afford to squander this opportunity.”

Obama will be the president. hillary and mccain have been overtaken by time. Their antique conception of America is already left on the wayside and forgotten. People are shedding their differences and joining Obama to reclaim America and restore its eminence in the world.

Come on..he wants to get out of Iraq and go back if al -queda becomes a threat in Iraq..this guy is going to cause another 9/11..he is the least aggressive commander-in-chief in fighting terror. He is going to have meetings with ahmedinejad and kim jong ill. Wake up what are his credentials other than garndstanding speeches and why is he ashamed of his middle name so much ? that everytime media addresses him as Hussein he cries foul.

who sleeps on what side of the bed. picture this. the president is brushing their teeth and michelle or bill pick up the phone. hillary has better backup. michelle might hang up.

Hilary will be awake at 3:00am in the White House, looking for Bill.

Let's not get our panties bunched in a wadi over this O vs H situation. Keep in mind how vital it is to dump the pathetic current power elite. Napoleon had it right when he muttered "divide and conquer"

You really want a guy who SOMETIMES salutes the American flag, WON'T wear an American Flag lapel pin, and has a hostile wife who is just NOW proud of her country??? Wait till the Republicans get a hold of this guy.They're licking their chops hoping he'll get nominated. There's no telling what kind of skeletal matter they'll pull out of his closet! At least with Hillary, there are no surprises. She's an open book. If we can't have Hillary, many of us dems will jump ship and support McCain. We may not agree with every position he holds, but at least what you see is what you get. N O B A M A !!!!!!!!!!!!!
