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%.

Obama is showing his true colors. What a loser he is, and I hope he does lose for the sake of America.
A loser? Win or lose, this man has already made history!! What have you accomplished in life that entitles you to negatively label someone of his stature? People like you are so biased that you can't see the forrest for the trees!!! YOU'RE THE REAL LOSER!!!

Jaki Baez,
I know well how to spell Hillarity's name. I think she is a joke and therefore quite HILARIOUS. Are you too simple to get it?
By yhe way Jaki, in this world if you are half black then you are considered black! Half black is what you call yourself because you've grown up around whites and have inherited their fear of blacks. You cannot completely deny your blackness probably due to skin tone or hair texture so here you come with half black. You hate the black side of your heritage because if you did not you would not need to mention half of anything.
And please do not refer to me as a child, for I am no child of yours. Your loins had nothing to do with me. I am 100% black, so you couldn't have beEn my mother, NOR WOULD YOU EVER HAVE WANTED TO BE MY MOTHER.

george W bush is dancing in the White House the other day. Did you see it?
He is because oil prices went up to a record $104 a barrel and he is
an oil man in bed with the Saudi's and oil rich Iraq, and endorsing
his want to be successor John Mc Cain today.
AND you idiots are sitting here calling Obama names? Hillary is in
bed with Mc Cain (and Bill could not care less) endorsing him against
her own party saying he has the experience to handle the 3:oo a.m.
phone call and Barack Obama has a speech.
AND you idiots are sitting here endorsing someone who is endorsing
John Mc Cain against her own party? What in the hell is wrong with
you people? Are you not watching and listening to what is actually
happening? How many times has she called Mc Cain her good friend? She
means it! It is good for her to endorse him against Obama now, and to
keep suggesting Obama is Muslim.
How can you trust her to run against Mc Cain and win? Because she is
a lying underhanded turncoat, that says whatever is convenient?
Yes!!!! That is why. Bravo, Hillary, we get you!!!! You lying
underhanded woman of no substance or integrity. The right wing
conspiracy theory will bail you out you think? NOT, we will not buy
that again. You are such a part of it now Hill.
We will not buy your tears, your laughter, your anything. You cannot
even disclose your tax returns because as your campaign chairman
stated today March 5th that your taxes are not done. How can we trust
you with our Economy, the Budget of the United States, when someone in
your position, knowing that this would be an issue of importance to
voters, cannot manage to have your taxes prepared by this date? How
many states are there left that have to vote for you and want to see
the tax returns? How many voted without knowing where your $5 million
donation to your campaign came from?
Hillary is now calling for, along with the Republican Governor of
Florida, for Florida to be disenfranchised by calling for the
delegates to be seated at the convention. How many people did not
vote in Florida because they understood the rules going in, that
their votes would not count?
Hillary, how many people in Nevada did you shut the caucus doors on?
How many Latinos in Nevada were sent home by your staff because your
staff would not give them Spanish Ballots, or help them with English
ballots when the Spanish ballots ran out? You are a dishonest woman
Hillary. You here making favorable comments about her are not
informed or choose to ignore the truth about this candidate. Or you
just don't care. Maybe you are racially prejudice, who knows? I do
not understand why you would support a woman with her lack of
character.
Keep on arguing while Mc Cain and the oil man in the White House
dance in delight, and while Bill Clinton scurries around to hide more
of his financial dealings overseas and hide donations and tries now to
cut ties with $1,000,000,000 donors to his foundation.
It is all so foolish. But it will go on till the convention. More fun
for the Pundits. More damage to the Democratic Party.
AND a great time was had by all. I don't think so.
But I thank Barack Obama for bringing in so many new people to the
process and wanting their voices to be heard. For the first time
since the sixties we are engaged again and it is due to a candidate
who has already united so many against the odds.
We Are The Change That We Seek....Barack Obama.
AND we yes can take a punch. AND we can punch back. AND we can do it
without the deeply seated lies that attack ones spirit. Hillary
Hussein Clinton . Wonder how she would have dealt with what he has
had to deal with?
FOXYLYNX4:56PMMar 7th 2008
OH, HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE "CLINTON MACHINE: - WHAT ABOUT THE SANITLY "OBAMA MACHINE". TROUBLE IS, NO MATTER HOW GOOD HIS MACHINE IS, HE DOESN'T HAVE THE BRAINS NOR EXPERIENCE TO GO UP AGAINST A MCCAIN OR HILLARY. TOO BAD REZKO IS ON TRIAL - I BET HE COULD GIVE OBAMA SOME GOOD TIPS - LOOK WHERE IT'S GOT HIM ALREADY!

Interesting choice of photos of Mr. Obama.
Is there an actual sound bite of exactly what Mrs. Clinton said?
james5:02PMMar 7th 2008
Hey Lisa,
Sounds like you are trading one prejudice for another. I'll bet you have a black firend and a Saudi Friend dont'cha??? "one of their own." YOu need to do a little research girlfriend =and figure out that HIllary is Not a white or black or muslim but a career politician.. We don't need any of "Thier kind" WE have enough Career politicians that are out there rooting for their favorite pocket lining lobbyist!
Ellen5:02PMMar 7th 2008
It is about time Obama toughened up his rhetoric. He is up against the vilest, most unscrupulous candidate who will get "down and dirty" on the campaign trail.
Pris Jahn5:02PMMar 7th 2008
In Muslim countries women must worship on the ground their men walk. Women must stay home and serve their men. Therefore, Obama still thinks Hillary Clinton must stay home and serve her man. In the U.S. men and women are equal. STOP THINKING OF OBAMA AS YOUR HERO.

Hey Pris ...Where you from Mr. Jahn? You don't sound like a good ole boy! Where are you gettin your fact's. Sound like you are drawin' conclusions from the generality well.

It's a shame how easy it is to tell what your race is just by your comments. I'm saddened by the bigot nature of all the comments I've read on the net over the past few weeks. The truth is neither Obama nor Clinton is perfect. No human is. As far as the skeleton in the closet count goes Hilary is far ahead of barack, but how soon we forget (white people). I'd like to see Barack Obama when simply because we know he would be a different type of president and isn't that what we are all asking for? Hummm...I guess only if it's a different type of the same (you figure it out). Nobody can tell who's going to be a great president or a bad president until they're in office. That's why we have new elections every four years so that we can get rid of the last guy who didn't do the job that everybody was so sure he'd do. The bottom line is you should vote with your heart....but wait a minute your heart is bitter and prejudice. Maybe vote with you mind then...ohh wait your mind is racist and clouded with negative feelings about everyone who doesn't look like you or has a different opinion. Who's going to protect us from these terrorist? Not the taliban or suicide bombers. No, the terrorists are you people on here. You blindly attack freedom and justice for all with your bigotry and racist attitudes. Your name is not Osama or Obama, it's Lois, Sharon, Jen, Mike, Steve, John...etc America, we are in soo much trouble.

Wendy....hypocrite...pray for your own soul....Look deep into your past.....I bet there is sh't load of stuff you should pray for forgiveness...you are most likely typical of those self righteous Christians that lead a double life...

Obama's ad in Mississippi is very tacky. I think he has stooped a new low. He is turning into the real deal....a real politician.
I always said he was a coral snake pretending to be a king snake. I think his true colors are showing. The evil can't wait until he is elected to show his colors. He is looking desperate too me.
Funny....after he called Hillary desperate earlier. What comes around goes around. Shame on you Obama. My instinct was right about you. You are a snake.
Hillary 08"

Folks I think we need an insider point of view. It was said by a secret service agent that one evening while about to dine at the white house. Hillary chastised her young daughter when the Chelsea was found to be eating at the same table with a secret service agent in the dining area. Hillary told her that she should not be sitting with those people. That she was a different class. THey were the "Servants" and these things just shouldn't be done. Hey Hillary WAKE UP! Those People are the ones that would lay down their lives for you and your snot nosed kid. I she was right "Those people" are quite possibly a different class. Well Hillary at least they have some class. QUestion aren't you supposed to be a "Public Servant"?!? I think we all know how little she thinks of the rest of us low class people. I say throw her out of the running and help elect a man with a vision.. Obama, I hope you do have a dream like Martin Luther King Junior. WE need a change. By the way I am a redneck white boy from Tennessee. Whose kin fought in Iraq against Mostly Muslims. Maybe Obama's religion Would lend our nation a little bit of empathy that could help us understand what the rest world is going thru and how they effect us. GOd help me if I am wrong but that is what I believe.
