“Shame On You, Barack Obama”: Hillary Says Hussein Be Lyin’
Hillary
CINCINNATI (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that a pair of mailings sent to voters by rival Barack Obama’s campaign criticizing her health care plan and trade views are false, misleading and a betrayal of his pledge to practice a new style of politics.
“Shame on you, Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public—that’s what I expect from you,” Clinton said angrily, waving the mailings in the air.
“Meet me in Ohio, and let’s have a debate about your tactics,” she added.
The two candidates will meet in a televised debate in Cleveland Tuesday.
Clinton spoke to reporters after an early morning rally at Cincinnati Technical College, one of several events she has held across Ohio this week. After losing eleven straight contests to Obama since Super Tuesday, the former first lady is banking on a strong showing in both Ohio and Texas on March 4 to save her fading candidacy.
With so much on the line and the clock ticking, Clinton ripped into Obama much more directly and forcefully than she has in the past.
“Enough about the speeches, and the big rallies, and then using tactics right out of Karl Rove’s playbook. This is wrong and every Democrat should be outraged,” Clinton said.
Clinton advisers have repeatedly criticized the Obama campaign’s health care mailing, which says her plan for universal coverage would “force” everyone to purchase insurance even if they can’t afford it. Her plan does require everyone to be covered, but it offers tax credits and other subsidies to make insurance more affordable.
Obama’s plan does not include the so-called “individual mandate” for adults, and he has argued that people cannot be required to buy coverage if they can’t afford it. However, his plan does mandate parents buy health insurance to cover children.
The second mailing, on North American Free Trade Agreement, quotes a 2006 Newsday article suggesting Clinton believed the agreement had been a “boon” to the economy. NAFTA and other trade agreements are extremely unpopular in Ohio, which has suffered an exodus of blue- collar jobs to other countries in part due to such agreements.
It’s a particularly sensitive matter for Clinton, whose husband championed and passed the agreement as president. She is counting on the support of white, working class voters in the state.
“I am fighting to change NAFTA,” she insisted. “Neither of us were in the Senate when NAFTA passed. Neither voted one way or the other.”
The New York senator said Newsday had “corrected the record” about her views on the agreement. The paper published a follow-up item last year saying the word “boon” had been their “characterization of how we best understood her position on NAFTA, based on a review of past stories and her public statements.”
As evidence of their concern about the issue, the Clinton campaign released two new ads in Ohio, one featuring former Senator John Glenn, saying Clinton would fight to fix trade agreements like NAFTA.
Clinton pushed back on questions about how her campaign had burned through nearly $130 million, only to be vastly outspent by Obama on ads and organization in several key states.
She also denied having overspent on campaign consultants. Financial reports published this week showed she had paid $7.5 million to the consulting firm of her senior strategist and pollster, Mark Penn. Clinton’s top media adviser, Mandy Grunwald, was paid more than $2 million to produce ads.
“Our money goes to directly communicating with voters. That’s where the money goes,” Clinton said.
She added that she felt good about her prospects in Ohio and Texas but refused to say whether she needed to win both states to stay in the race.
“Let’s let the people of Ohio vote. Let’s actually have an election and then we can look at the results,” she said.

February 23rd, 2008 at 1:21 pmUsing pictures is a cheap way to get traffic,
keep it up.
February 23rd, 2008 at 1:54 pmI’m tired of looking at the other Hillary, too. Well done!
As for the story, this woman is drowning. Didn’t she learn from the debate that attacking Obama on tactics doesn’t play well. If she was smart, she would figure out a way to create real policy differences between them. There’s a treasure chest of dumb shit this guy has said that she should be using, instead of going after him personally. His armor is his personality, his chinks are his ideas and statements about policy. Learn to aim at the chinks, Hillary, or you’re done by next week.
February 23rd, 2008 at 2:03 pmFunny thing about these pictures. People can complain they’re smutty, but these are how two women considered the cream of the crop of American high society went out dressed TO HIGH PROFILE PUBLIC EVENTS, expecting photographers to display them as such to the world. Doesn’t Hillary Swank have like two Oscars? Is Pat exploiting them cheaply, or making a point? Either way it was a funny play on using “Hillary” photos.
February 23rd, 2008 at 2:49 pmuh, it’s because she the million dollard’s
baby
February 23rd, 2008 at 2:56 pmYou like boobs, do you Franchie?
February 23rd, 2008 at 3:02 pmIm no boobs taster
February 23rd, 2008 at 3:05 pmIt is nice to see the Clintons get defeated.
This hag is squirming like a drowning rat.
I look forward to the Obama versus the McCain contrast.
I hope Hillary is stupid enough to take the VP slot if he offers it to her. I don’t think he is stupid enough to offer it to her though.
February 23rd, 2008 at 3:22 pmThat Blacck Muslim OBAMA HUSSEIN BARACK is all talk and no ACTION. Like George BUSH he is incompetent!
February 23rd, 2008 at 6:16 pmWe need a HILLARY CLINTON or JOHN MC CAIN with integrity to run this COUNTRY
Hilary wants Obama to do as she says, NOT as she does. She’s like a spoiled brat. She throws mud in your face and then crys when the winds blowsit back into hers. How can she say the mailings were false when everyone knows it’s all true. Her health care plan IS to make it mandatory for people to have insurance. And she backed NAFTA all the way to the bank when Bill by her side. She really is convinced the American people are all idiots. It’s such a relief that people are finally seeing her for what she is. She is a self centered, opportunistic liar. She is just mad as hell that she can’t fund her campaign anymore. She blew her load thinking she had the nomination in the bag. Now that her campaign is broke, she’s crying those crocodile tears of hers. Where were all her tears when she supported Wal-Mart against the workers fighting for unions. Where were her tears when Whitewater blew up in her face. There were no tears. She ran all the way to the bank.
February 23rd, 2008 at 6:22 pmWELL, SOMETHING IS WORKING RIGHT. WHEN I OPENED THIS STORY THERE WERE 4 BARE BREASTED YOUNG LADIES WHO POPPED UP IN THE PHOTO AREAS. . . . IT’S EITHER MY BROWSER OR . .FATE . . OR. . HUMMM. . . WAIT A MINUTE . . . .HUUUMMMM . . . NOW.. . AND I DON’T EVEN LOOK AT PORN . . . . USUALLY . . . .
ANYHOW, AS I WAS ABOUT TO SAY. . AS I LOOK AT THE LIST OF CANDIDATES IN THIS PARTICULAR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION I AM DISMAYED, . .IN A WAY. . . .AMERICA HAS A BOUNTIFUL SUPPLY OF GOOD MEN AND WOMEN WHO CAN AND WILL BE “GREAT”. . . BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO LAY THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES HEADS ON THE CHOPPING BLOCKS OF TODAYS AMERICAN POLITICS THEY REFUSE TO RUN FOR ANY HIGH OFFICE. . . WHO CAN BLAME THEM . . IT’S CLEAR TO ME THAT WE ARE SCRAPEING THE BOTTOM OF THE BARRELL TO COME UP WITH THE CHOICES WE NOW HAVE. . . AMERICA HAS KNOWN SOME OF THE MOST ADMIRABLE AND HONORABLE MEN WHO EVER LIVED AS OUR PRESIDENT. . . IT’S SAD THAT WE ALLOW THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY TO RUN THEM AWAY FROM THEIR MOST HIGH CALLINGS . . . . I’D JUST AS SOON THAT WE WOULDN’T HAVE A PRESIDENT FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AND LET CONGRESS RUN THINGS TILL WE CAN COME UP WITH SOMEONE BETTER THAN TODAY’S CANDIDATES . . . . WE DON’T REALLY HAVE ANY “GOOD” CHOICES. NOW, DO WE ? ? ? WE’RE LOOKING AT SECOND BEST ALL AROUND THIS TIME. . . . TOO BAD FOR AMERICA . . . . .

EVEN “BILL” CLINTON IS BETTER THAN HIS WIFE AS PRESIDENT. .
IF SHE’S ELECTED, THAT’S WHEN SHE’LL DUMP HIM FOR GOOD. . .
Hillary Cunton is an old hag with saggy boobs.
February 23rd, 2008 at 6:48 pmHillary says one thing and votes another way. Her talk on the iraq war and Iran and her votes are different. Bill Clinton signed and pushed this Nafta deal and yes her “health care” plan is a disaster. Shame on Husain for what???

What can I say, Jacki. Your post is excellent. If I had the ability to write as well as you do I would have written a near copy of what you have said here. You have hit the proverbial nail on the head with this one. Thank you for your outstanding and very true comments.
…titties!
What were we talking ’bout?
February 23rd, 2008 at 7:09 pmHillary’s is “SO DESPERATE”!!! She is grasping with every breath to get ahead.. She is making the biggest fool of herself right now. She needs to go ahead, act like a real lady & bow out, Gracefully!! Anybody that would fall for her, so called, Health Plan, is allowing their rights & freedoms to go down the tubes.. What on earth is she thinking? I was raised military, and I sure don’t want to live that bad dream again! Waiting forever, getting a different Dr. everytime, be put on an assembly line is just “Unacceptable” for the rest of my life.. Not to mention the rest of her platform, that is really way out there..
February 23rd, 2008 at 7:47 pmHillary Clinton makes me laugh here is a woman who has lied, cheated, obstucted justice and have destroyed many political lives of others and now she is whining crying foul everyday.I love how she loves to play the victim because she is a woman. What a joke this woman can spit nails. Hillary should actually be in prison now instead of running for president for her campaign fraud in her 2000 campaign but she lied obstucted justice and because the judge was a clinton appointee she walked with a 30,000 fine last year.What i want to know is when the LA times is going to release the story of Hillaries relationship with Huma Albedin obne of her aides.Where is the New York Times on this story.Its the talk of D.C .
February 23rd, 2008 at 7:51 pmHillary likes to take credit for her involement in Bills presidency but not the things that went wrong like Nafta and cleaning up all of Bills love affairs .Really how can anyone respect a womens character when she allows her husband to have at least 12 affairs and is still with him sounds like she has a problem with good judment right there which disqualifies her from running for president.
I lived in New York in her district and she has not done anything for the people there in her term.She comes at election time tells everyone what she wants to do but has done nothing .She has spent her entire time as our state senator running for president then representing her people in her district.I’m fed up with the Clinton their politics their lies ,scandals and her belief we the people are stupid and need her to tell us how to live
Is AOL (or the AP) registered as a paid lobbyist for the GOP? Pretending to be anything else is fraudulent… Their election coverage since the start has predominantly consisted of daily negative stories about Dems. Apparently all the attack pieces the conservative AP does on Dems aren’t enough, so AOL now conveniently provides links to sites like this. Where never is heard …anything but a discouraging word… and the coverage is biased all day!
In contrast, stories on McCain sound like press releases from his office. It really pays big time to be a powerful senator on the Commerce Committee that oversees the FCC.
February 23rd, 2008 at 8:15 pmTommy, your computer has a hard-on.
February 23rd, 2008 at 9:01 pmBye, bye Hillary
You and Bill can crawl back under that rock you inhabit.
February 23rd, 2008 at 10:40 pmCivil rights loses a real leader. Although, I did not meet Mrs. Carr, I volunteered for many years with Mrs. Rosa Parks, who was a lovely, funny, and compassionate woman. She was inspirational, and very brave. Despite all that America did to hold her back, SHE was a catalyst for CHANGE! She loved America & SHE TOOK GREAT RISKS. Obama should review the tapes of Johnnie Carr, Rosa Parks and Dr. King.
February 23rd, 2008 at 11:01 pmMr. Obama, might learn about leadership in the doing, not by acting or reading a part (He can read speeches well. I see nothing more there, than a handsome young man who can read. NOT a real Leader.)
These awesome women like; Shirley Chilsom, Rosa Parks, and Johnnie Carr didn’t wait for power to come to them before proving their mettle. Theirs was change in the real world , not the fairy tale Obama proposes.
LONG BEFORE HILLARY or OBAMA, there was SHIRLEY CHILSOM. 1st BLACK, WOMAN ELECTED TO CONGRESS. That was climbing the mountain top. Too many are placing their hope in someone who is taking the helicopter to the top. He’s missing everything DR. KING and the great civil rights leaders saw along the way. How will Obama affect change if he’s never been there, or even passed through?
