Obama ad: Response to Hillary’s “Children,” taking aim on Iraq
You can tell it’s crunch time in the Dem race, with attacks bringing immediate and direct responses. Like the Obama’s camp’s response to Hillary’s newest TV ad charging that only HRC has enough experience to deal with “a phone ringing in the White House at “3 AM.” It was brutal.
But the Obama teams response cuts to the bone just as much. It’s a virtual copycat, using the same language and similar images. Only this spot favors a “president…who had judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq war from the start…” The most vocal and obvious swipe at Hillary’s Iraq record yet. This is beyond sharp jabs at debates; TV is the real deal - and with only days to go before Ohio and Texas.
The instant response and ease with which Obama can beat back HRC’s attacks with just a simple mention of Iraq shows who is in charge here. A brilliant bit of media spin from Obama’s camp.

Sphere: Related ContentIt’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone ringing in the White House. Something’s happening in the world. When that call gets answered, shouldn’t the president be the one – the only one – who had judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq war from the start… Who understood the REAL threat to America was al-Qaeda, in Afghanistan, not Iraq. Who led the effort to secure loose nuclear weapons around the globe… In a dangerous world, it’s judgment that matters. I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message.

Hillary and Camp Clinton is the core of what is Wrong with Washington politics, the do and say anthing to win, no matter what is done to the country and the country’s morale. “Senator Obama represents the bright future that is possible in America when ordinary people begin to take charge. Clinton and McCain certainly have a wealth of Washington experience, but Obama has tapped into our country’s enormous democratic potential, and that’s not merely exciting, it is invaluable to our future.” Jim Hightower, Texas columunist. The reason so many Senators are endorsing Obama is because they know with him, they have a chance of getting unity and not division, truth and not spin. Hillary Clinton still has not released her tax forms. As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Patrick Moynihan, key votes needed to pass her legislation, that she would ‘demonize’ anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn’t even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House and Senate.) - Hillary’s was protected by Prez Clinton sking the National Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their time in the White House, including much of Hillary’s correspondence and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.) - As the junior Senator from New York, Hillary has passed no major legislation. Hillary’s one notable vote; supporting the plan to invade Iraq, which she has never really apologized for.
I dont’t think Hillary has much chance of winning because every word she has spoken since the beginning has been turned into something negative against Obama.All he does is copy her policies on all the issues.I think in the debates,some of the tough questions should have been asked of him first.After she answers them and it’s his turn,he always says “Sentor Clinton is right”and then elaboates alittle on what she said.Wouldn’t some of you people like to know what he thinks before Hillary tells him what to say.That’s why she complained about always having to answer first,and not because she wants someone to feel sorry for her like the media said.She wants people to see that he really doesn’t know much about anything.One thing I know is that it is going to take alot more than Hopes and Dreams to fix the mess this Country is in.My dream would be for Hillary to run as VP on Mccain’s ticket.It’s to late for her to win now.Everybody has gotten caught up in this dream instead of what’s really happening to our Country.The Media is now saying that Obama is not Muslum but a Christian.Well he is a Muslum and Muslums hate Blacks,so I feel they will all be sorry for turning their backs on Hillary,She faught for equal rights for the Blacks all her life.Who do you think he was talking to in one of his speeches on Friday when he spoke of keeping the children in school,off the streets,feed them breakfast,etc.When Bill Cosby gave that same speech,the African Americans were outraged.I think this entire Country will regret the day Barack Obama goes to the White House.What kind of message is that going to send to our enemys.Barack Husane Obama,President of the United States.Think about what that name alone emplies.God help us all.
