Plouffe on Denver Speech and the 'Tone' of the Campaign
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe did not deny, when asked, that Mark Penn’s characterization of Obama’s speech yesterday as an attack on Hillary Clinton was off-base.
"Well you know that was an important speech yesterday," Plouffe said during a conference call with reporters, adding that Obama was making "a strong case for his candidacy” during the speech.
He went on to say, “Obviously, I don’t think their campaign—that’s been largely, in editorials and commentary across the country generally ruled to be out of bounds in any number of areas—has a lot of authority on lecturing anyone else about the tone of [this] campaign.”
Plouffe also said that the campaign has raised "at least $32 million in the month of January, or so." That's about a million dollars a day, as Ben notes.
We should ALL have a tone of DISGUST! The Clintons, as with the Bushes, see what is supposed to be Government Service as a business opportunity for the "two-fer" setup. In Arkansas, Bill was Governor and Hill joined a major lawfirm as partner, joined the Walmart Board and participated in all kinds of speculative deals...as First Lady of Arkansas. During the Clinton Administration the Lincoln Bedroom became an ATM for post Clinton Admin. deals that never have been tolerated by a former President by Al Gore. Today's NYTimes front page details how Bill has been using his time, commoditizing the Presidency while his wife was Senator/President-in-Waiting in NY. The desperation exhibited post Iowa and in SC, replete w/self-serving businessmen like BOB JOHNSON, indicated another agenda is on the horizon that (as w/the Bushes) has NOTHING to do with the needs of the American people. The NYT, who endorsed the FUSED 3rd Term to commoditize the Presidency and exploit the interests of the American people, finally returned to their journalistic roots today w/the following article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/31/us/politics/31donor.html?hp - After Mining Deal, Financier Donated to Clinton Charity
More should have been done to investigate the last 7 years of seemy business deals under the guise of the Library and Charitable Foundation. More needs to be ASKED about how profitable this "two-fer" setup, leveraging POWER for business deals that interfere with our foreign policy, etc. It should have been done BEFORE now. We have 6 days and the DONOR lists should be made public NOW...before the debate tonight...and certainly before they wag their fingers in our faces again. Saying she can't control Bill, while he is amassing a fortune -- and visa versa -- is TIRED. Turn the page.
