Obama's Latest Negative Ad
The campaign of Barack Obama is airing a "negative" :60 second radio spot in Mississippi. It attacks Hillary Clinton for past remarks about the lack of women in leadership in states like Iowa and Mississippi. It also, somewhat strangely, reaffirms his "Christian faith."All in all, it's the ad of a typical career politician.
The reported ad's script is:
"You know, now that Hillary Clinton is campaigning here in Mississippi, she likes to say how important we are," Mabus says in the ad. "But just a few months ago when she was campaigning in Iowa, she told them she was shocked Iowa could be ranked with Mississippi on anything. And her campaign even called voters in states like Mississippi 'second class'.
"Obama will unite not divide", Governor Mabus continues. "He'll take on special interest and not take their money. And he'll practice his Christian faith by respecting us."
Mississippi has its primary on Tuesday, March 11; the Magnolia state has 33 delegates.
An American Research Group survey, released today, puts the contest in Mississippi at Obama 58%, Clinton 34%.

Flip,
Who cares what his middle name is? If his middle name had been Kennedy, would that quiet you? His middle name was given to him, he did not choose the name. Flip sounds like the name you would give to a goldfish. Are you a goldfish? do not judge by name. You are an idiot!
If the best argument you have against Obama is his middle name, you are an idiot and no less. A racist also because it implies hatred toward all things middle eastern. I support him and even I can find a better argument against him than his middle name. Only a racist would even mention his middle name.
Saddam Hussein and Barack Obama are completely different persons. They never met.
Obama will win because we have known for years that Hillary Clinton is in some ways monsterous. She is not the spawn of evil, but she is no saint either.
I do not want her as President when there is a better option in Barack Obama!

Dear Ms. Wendy
It seems to me you could be a passionate person who could command respect, if only you would tone down the retoric, alot. I tell you taking out your displeasure and downright hatered of the opponents of your chosen candidate based solely on what you believe is a "Demonic Attack" on Senator Obama will appear not only uneducated, but completely over the top. If you truly are of a christian faith, as you claim, you should also have love for the sinner as well, whom you claim to be Senator Clinton. Now, purely on a political level, I've always believed a president, regardless of their religious faith, or not, should be an atheist once the oath of office is taken. Remember He or She is supposed to be representing and governing for each and every American regardles of race, creed, disability, sex, sexual orientation, faith, and yes even the non-religious are our bretheren.
Lastly, I meant what I said in the beginning of this statement, you might ac tually be an asset to your chosen candidate if you could just focus your rage into a constructive, non-offensive position and then try to recruit like minded people. I would'nt be one of them, but I hope you'll consider what I've said in the spirit I say it in.
Sincerely: Ron

He sure is showing what a loser he is...the repulicans are going to have a fun time with his money from the crook rezko, Canadian episode, kickbacks from the bill he passed in favor of energy, his infidelity with a male...Hillary doesn't need to say anything...the Republican are reloading and have more

Lisa,
Do not belittle the intellegence of the ytoung because they support Obama.
They care more about the future than you do.
They are better educated than you were at their ages because all kids today are.
When you were a young person people told your generation that you knew nothing becuase you were all stoned and over-sexed.
Now that you are a little bit older you think you have the right to tell younger people how to vote.
These kids are smarter than you. They know that the world is as it is because people do not choose to change.
Maybe you should shut up and learn from them. they have a message and a voice, you cannot silence it.
Rebellious young people will often do the opposite of what their elders advise so the best bet for you Lisa is to just shut your old mouth.
You are aold and are so accustomed over the past years of seeing Hillary Clinton in the spotlight that you have been brainwashed to see no one but her.
You are operating from a place of fear.
BARACK OPERATES FROM A PLACE OF HOPE!
His message is positive and that is why he is ahead on all counts againt Hillarity Clinton.
Jaki Baez4:22PMMar 7th 2008
Wendy, you took up most of the blog showing your bigotry. So, I will educate you with words. Hillary Clinton is a Christian. She was born a christian and she didn't decide yesterday to be one. Obama had made it a point to tell the nation that he made 55 millions in the month of February. Oddly, some people began to wonder where all these monies word flowing from: Here is the prove:Obama's camp has a website -that is covered by another website and it ends up being an islamic muslim website :
As stated on the blog, that last part was derived from information found on Electronic Intifada (EI), a terror apologist website based in Chicago, Illinois, Obama’s hometown. According to the site’s co-founder, Ali Abunimah, Senator Obama once told him, regarding Abunimah’s anti-American and anti-Israel writings, to “Keep up the good work!”
While the Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 blog is hosted by Obama’s website, it is actually part of another site that goes by the same name, located at muslimsforobama08.com. The registered agent for the site is Zakiyah Omar, a women’s costume designer from Jacksonville, Florida. Omar has been involved in the Obama campaign since December 2006 (She has had the site since February ’07). She too has her own blog hosted by the official Obama website.
Because "blacks" are only thinking that the "color " of Obama's skin is more important than issues, he has wons many states without checking the facts. The only concern themselves with having a first black man in office. There will be one- but it won't be this one. And as a democrat- I will crusade for my Christ until I am dead, to make sure that our Lord is not replaced by another God.
Bill maguire4:25PMMar 7th 2008
Obama needs to show a video clip of Bill Clinton saying to Bush Sr in 92 "It's the ecconomy stupid."
He needs to bring up the fact that Hillary is talking like Mcain fearmongering about external threats which are going to get us. I wish she would address the economy and let Mcain go down to defeat with his 100 years in Iraq.
Mary4:26PMMar 7th 2008
That is half the problem, most young people are stoned like obama has admitted..that is why he is their hero...yeah i did cocaine and stuff he says...what a hero...this is change...same ol same ol; he can cheat and lie...is this the change we are looking for...no if he recieves the nomination, there will be plenty going to the republican side, hopefully someone like Colin Powell who has achieved respect will be vice president, and then that will be a given..he's the one

HEY WENDY(YOU POOR SOUL HAVE YOU READ ABOUT OBAMA AND LARY SINCLAIR. SINCLAIR SWEARS THEY HAD A SEX TRYST IN A LIMO AND THEN IN A HOTEL, ALONG WITH DRUGS, IN 1999. HE SUPPOSEDLY HAS TAKEN A POLYGRAPGH AND PASSED. THE DEMOCRATIC BIG SHOTS KNOW ABOUT THIS AND HOWARD DEAN AND OBAMA'S MANAGER HAVE USED SOME STRONG ARMED TACTICS TO KEEP THIS QUIET. THE MEDIA IS ALSO KEEPING MUM. IT WON'T PROBABLY COME OUT TIL AFTER THE ELECTION. NO WONDER OBAMA'S WIFE HATES AMERICA,OOPS I MEAN DID HATE IT LAST WEEK, WONDER WHAT SHE WILL DO IF HE LOSES, SHE IS SCARIER THAN HE IS AND HE IS SCARY.
power to all the people4:28PMMar 7th 2008
um, tired of racial issues,
Why is it automatic that there is a race issue? I agree that there is one and I think it is hurting Obama, not helping him. The racism hurts him
If you want the facts they go as follows:
Barack Obama is ahead of Hillarity Lcinton and would still be even if Michigan and Florida were counted. She cannot win the nomination via delegates because Barack Leads her nicely in that way. Barack is not loosing, Hillarity has already lost. It is already over for her she just needs to admit it and rally her support behind Obama. Hillary cannot beat McCain without the Obama supprters. Obama cannot beat McCain without Hillarity supporters. The division will cost us this election if we are not careful.
I am glad Barack is fighting back, He has learned from Hillarity that negative ads do work and are necessary to return when they are dealt to him.
I trust him so much more than Hillarity Clinton.
tired of racial issues4:28PMMar 7th 2008
Obama is operating in "panic mode". He and his supporters realize they are on a loosing streak, so they are sending out mesages/ads, interpreting what Hillary has said or not said. Now in Mississippi saying Hilalry didn't care about them in the past. She has always spoke supporting all Americans. Since the three state win on Tuesday Obama and his campaign folks have been on a tyraid..sputtering and stuttering. He is beginning to show his lack of experience, and can only look to ways to tear down Hillary and what she was aqble to accomplish. He is afraid and knows the truths about him are coming out.
His supporters are again blasting Hillary for standing by her man, and family. Cuttin gdown her education, her experiences, etc. Obama needs to take care of himself, as she has done all year. She has withstood everyones bashing; the news media, Obama and crew, the Kennedy's (who appear to have dropped off the earth since Hillary won Massachuttes), etc. It is now Obama's turn, and he better watch his step... he is about to fall from his imaginary throne. He is about to learn he is not the savior of the Americans. He does not have what it takes...Stamina, experience, policies, plans, and the courage to stand up for what is the rights of American Citizens...All of them.
Vote Hillary or we will be the loosers.

Wendy, wanna cool down there? It's great that you feel so passionate but don't you lose any kind of credibility when you go off the handle like a nut case? Obama has just done what he vowed not to do. He vowed to run a new kind of campaign. The tone of this ad sounds familiar. It's politics as usual. Here's hard reality. Neither of them can win out right. She can't catch up and he can't get enough pledged delegates to win. So in come the super-delegates. Who knows how it will end. All I know is that if you are really feeling the pain of the last 7 years of a Bush administration, you would think it is your best interest, the best interest of the party, and the best interest of the nation to vote Democrat in November. Whether its Hillary or Obama, we need a Democrat. If everyone is going to get hung up over "It's my candidate or it's McCain", then we would be screwing ourselves. At least I can blame Bush for how bad it's been the last seven years. If Democrats get so hung over their candidate that they give the Presidency over to the Republicans again, then all we have to blame is ourselves. How pathetic.
Jaki Baez4:34PMMar 7th 2008
power to all the people- You need to learn how to spell Hillary's name. Secondly, trusting a man who has secret websites from Iran, Iraq, and all other muslim nations is not too kosher: Look AT : muslimsforobama08.com- This is fine, because we all are americans-but when other countries are helping his campaign with funding- then it is our concerns. Trust, what about not telling the people that he had a lawsuit pending from October of 2007 concerning the crazy man suing him for sexual accusations and drugs? Do you think people would have voted for him? He has kept many secrets and now they are finally coming out. Hillary doesn't need him to win- she has Webb or Clark who are respected. Oh, Did I tell you I was half black- so it is not a racial thing with me, child.

wendy,
I am suprised that Greg M. has allowed your hate filled comments to remain , If they are not removed soon I will contact AOL myself and I will turn this email to the Clinton Campaign.

What an odd ad.
Makes no sense.
CINDY4:39PMMar 7th 2008
Wendy, I understand your frustration about the way Hillary went after Obama but please don't let yourself become just like her. She and others like her will have to answer to God for such behavior. What's done in the dark will come into the light. Bill and Hillary's secrets will come out because you can hear the skeletons in their closets. I felt that Hillary was a phony after she began her campaign - she's a Republican in Democratic clothing. Hillary claims to be a Christian but is quite the opposite (Devil's advocate). I don't hate her because the spirit of God will not allow me. Barack just needs to stay focused, concentrate on the issues, and show the fundamental difference between him and Hillary (which he does anyway by not stooping to her level).
Jaki Baez4:42PMMar 7th 2008
And he'll practice his Christian faith by respecting us."
That doesn't make sense, does it? He'll practice? Why is he another faith that by respecting ours, he will practice. Here----let me put one of those scarfs over my head and respect the muslim women in Iran. You don't need to practice a religion, the religion is in your soul already. Odd ad- Hillary's people should take it and spin the damn thing.
PARMA234:47PMMar 7th 2008
The New Yorker is publishing a long article on Michelle Obama next week. While the majority of the article mundanely forwards the observation that Mrs. Obama is a rather likable, no-nonsense sort of dame, there are disturbing revelations when the article recites the substance of Mrs. Obama's stump speech.
Mrs. Obama regards America as "just downright mean," and Americans as "guided by fear," America is a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents, "and it's gotten worse over my lifetime.... The life that I'm talking about that most people are living has gotten progressively worse since I was a little girl."

By choosing not to be on the Florida Ballet Obama said people in Florida weren't important to him, only the states the politics of the mmoment said were important were important. Hilary said the people of Florida were important always..
Why no more terroist attacks? Tell me? Maybe they don't need to drive planes into the White House. They are driving one of their own there instead. And how foolish will we look. If there is even one tiny tiny chance he is with them -- why would we take that chance ?! I am fine with a black president. My gosh, when I watch 24 when they had a black president I loved that president. No he wasn't real, but I remember thinking -- my God -- I want a president that good. This isn't race. This isn't sex. This is about protecting ourselves! This is about keeping America safe. Our families fought too hard to get us here to see it destroyed. And people -- Martin Luther King fought for your freedom and mine -- for all races to see each other the SAME. All of us-- ALL OF US -- will lose that if we let our country be taken over!
Don't take a chance. Vote for Hilary. Vote for republican if necessary -- McCane almost ran as VP for Kerry! he has lots of democratic tendencies -- but DON'T RISK OUR FUTURE...
And you young kids...We want you to have a bright wonderful future.....don't use a vote to destroy what your ancestors and families fought to give you! Don't risk making all the bloodshed to get us where we are not matter!
