Ladies and gentlemen of Indian, North Carolina and all remaining contests,
Hearing my senator, Hillary Clinton, stumping in your state[s], is driving me crazy. There seems to be a general acceptance of the idea that she's the stronger candidate when it comes to all things economic, particularly job creation. If anyone would take even a cursory look at her record in elected office, they would discover the opposite is true. Just google it.
Let's take a look what my senator's much-bally-hooed fighting skills have gained for the working people of my hometown, Buffalo, New York...
I want my kids to hear what Obama has to say.
Obama teaches our kids how to relate to a global world.
Obama invites them to participate in goverment.
Obama inspires them to hope, to keep going, even when they get knocked down.
Yesterday, Bill Clinton blamed Obama for playing the race card in South Carolina:
"I think that they played the race card on me. We now know, from memos from the campaign that they planned to do it along." - President Bill Clinton.And that's how President Clinton begins his answer to WHYY's Susan Phillips who, during a phone interview earlier this evening, asked the President how he feels about one Philadelphia official who says she switched her support after interpreting Clinton's remarks in South Carolina as an attempt to marginalize Obama as "the black candidate." http://supertuesdayblog.wordpress.com
The problem is, it WAS the Clinton's who started the whole discussion. Obama had nothing to gain by raising the issue of race. Hillary did. Even Hillary's campaign staff admitted that they were trying to paint Obama as the black candidate.
Bill discussed Hillary's Bosnia lies last week during a speech. He mocked to press, saying that they acted like Hillary had committed a "bank robbery".
Ironically, she had. It's called "Stolen Valor". Congress even passed a law making it illegal to falsely claim to have earned a Medal of Honor.
Many soldiers are speaking out on this.
