Wolfson: Obama Relying on Negativity, Clinton 'Misspoke' In Her Tuzla Account

Roger Clemens would call this "misremembering". Who knew it was real?

What is the big deal about her "foreign" experience? She has "experience", she's sixty years old! There are life experienes and she was in the White House when crisis decisions were made. I'm sure that with a limited authority she gave her advise. She does have experiences that proves her ability to be "diplomatic" and you can find numerous articles about this on the internet. She hasn't made any presidential decisions, but then she's not been president, nor has Obama or McCain. Thank you!

OMG, so now the lesson we should take from this sorry nonsense is that naturally "It's all Obama's fault". Clinton is caught making a real whopper, and the fact that she is called on it (and I don't know by whom) is evidence that Obama is now engaging in a campaign of tearing Clinton down. To quote her, "Let's get real". For months now, facing loss of the nomination on the numbers (that translates in the reality plane, that Obama is beating her), Clinton has been going after Obama with every negative attack imaginable. In fact, one could more realistically see this latest Clinton "mispeaking" as an indirect result of her attacks on Obama. All we have heard is that she has 35 years experience and he next to none, that she is capable of being commander in chief and he is not. To back up these less than obvious assertions, Clinton has been making one exaggerated claim after another concerning her experience. She brought peace to Northern Ireland by being an important behind the scene player. Okay, actually she brought together Catholic and Protestant women (who apparently had been mortal enemies until Angel Clinton brought them under her wing). Alright, she only actually gave a speech at a meeting (can you say photo-op and sound bite?) of a group that had existed already for twenty years. Persons from the UK have been uncovering the gross exaggerations she made. Are they all Obama agents? Are they the divisive, tear Hillary down types? Isn't fair game when she makes patently false claims concerning her alleged qualifications to be President that the falsity of her claims be exposed.

Let's get real, the person who has, in fact, torn Hillary down is none other than Hillary herself.

Only a Clinton or their camp followers would have the cohones to say this was "misspeaking." Do we REALLY want 4 or 8 more years of this parsing of speech from the White House, to cover up 4 or 8 more years of scandal, drama and intrigue? Isn't 8 years of gross incompetence and Constitution-shredding under W ENOUGH for the junior carpetba..er, senator from New York?

Maybe her experience is also a figment of her imagination.

so in other words, clinton advocates and supporters are saying it's okay to be a liar - well, look at where we are in enabling another liar - 5 years later and 4000 lost...

What's sad is that a generally honest person - Al Gore - got crucified for being dishonest. But a genuine hypocrite and serial liar, Hillary Clinton, tends to get a free pass.

Please, America, let's end our national nightmare and get the Bushes and Clintons out of our White House.

YEAH WELL CALL IT THE UNITED STATES OF DEADBEATS.THEY WANT EVERYTHING GIVEN TO THEM.WHAT DID MOMMY AND DADDY FINALLY CUT YOU OFF SO YOU HAVE VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE THAT PROMISES YOU THE MOST FREE SHIT. WAKE UP MORONS

I have just read and article about JFK & LBJ, according to the article neither of them had much foreign policy experience. Yet JFK handle the Cuban missile crisis exceptionally well. Most of us, should have realised by now that in times of crisis we act on our impulses as we are not afforded the opportunity to pull out a guide as to how we should handle a situation. Its all about our judgement and what sort of people we have around us to help us and guide thru those situation. I have always been a republican, this time I am opting for change. Go Obama Go.

Could still countenance a Hillary ticket?

When her campaign turns around every argument -

When their double speak doubles back on itself -

When our faith in them has been utterly shattered -

How could any Democrat support her?

Obama is assasinating Hillary's character? Character assasination is her entire strategy at this point. Obama is tearing her down? Funny. I seem to recall him saying this a week or so ago about Hillary's campaign. It is pettiness? Is it real-life poll testing? Does the Hillary Campaign even realize that they are hijacking language - languague with DOES APPLY to their actions (and so is used appropriately against them) but which DOES NOT APPLY to their opposition? Do they know it, or are they just that diseased?

I think they know it.

Hillary will stop at nothing to destroy Obama. She will write it off in her memoirs as "vetting" and so live with herself in retirement - but feeding ammunition to the Republicans - a party rightfully defunct - is the lowest betrayal a Democrat can perpetrate. So she is caught in a lie. It almost seems pretty, compared with the disgust she evokes through her canabilistic attacks on her future Commander in Chief.

Hillary Clinton may have deserved our respect, once upon a time. That time has passed, and there is nobody to blame but herself. She hired and continues to pay the turncoats in her Campaign. These people should never be employed by any Democrat, ever again. The Republicans, who they seem to have learned so much from, and who they flatter so readily, every day - the Republicans can have them.

Hillary has dragged so many good American politicans down with her. It is sad, but fitting. If you yielded, punily, to the Clinton behemoth and the threat of her sickle, you deserve to be cut from the nourishment of the Democratic party base. To be swayed in Politics by fear is to become undeserving of the voters of this nation. We are a proud people, and brave, and we will not be so abused by frightful and puny legislators. To Hillary and her ship: you have called the flames upon yourself. Ride her down to the bottom.

This is such a non issue. You think the Secret Service would allow her to go somewhere she would be sniped at??

Anyone who switches their vote, or otherwise changes their image of HRC based on this is a moronic undecided.

Someone mentioned on the news yesterday Al Gore as a compromise candidate if the convention is deadlocked. Christ! Are the Democrats that stupid to dig up that raving lunatic to run again. I wonder if he would win his home state and Florida this time?

The Clinton Credibility Gap: More Nixon than Gore

How can you tell Hillary Clinton is lying? Howard Wolfson's lips are moving.

Clinton suffered another daily gotcha when her self-proclaimed GI Jane moment - dashing across the Tuzla tarmac while ducking sniper fire - was revealed to be a typical prosaic airport greeting: a cute kid, flowers, the double air kiss, even a poem! Apparently, it took actual footage for the Clinton campaign to realize that Sinbad wasn't just being funny when he called her a liar last week. I could have told them that; Sinbad hasn't been funny since her husband's first term.

In trying to walk back this latest of Clinton's dalliances with dishonesty, Wolfson was quoted as saying, "it is possible in the most recent instance with which she discussed this that she misspoke, with regards to the leaving of the plane."

To say someone misspoke usually connotes that the untrue statement was made inadvertently. We all do it. "I played golf last Saturday," says I. "No, we went to lunch last Saturday. You played golf on Sunday," says she who is always right. "Oh, yeah, I misspoke, thank you dear. You're the best wife in the world."

Now, if we replay that last vignette Clinton/Wolfson-style, it might go something like this: "I single-handedly foiled an armed bank robbery last Saturday," says I. "No you didn't, you played golf," says she. "Oh yeah, I misspoke."

Did you catch the subtle difference?

How do you misspeak about something like that? What were you getting mixed up over?

"Oh, no, it was the OTHER war zone I flew into and ducked sniper fire and ran to the cars. I misspoke."

"Did I say sniper fire? I meant mosquitoes. Huge mosquitoes in Bosnia. I misspoke."

"Did I say I only got sent to countries that are too dangerous, too poor or too small, thereby implying that I was an inconsequential and expendable member of the Administration? I meant that I was VERY important. I misspoke."

"Wait, did I say that there are countries too poor for the President to go to? I meant that...um... Leave me alone, I misspoke!"

This unfortunate episode joins a cavalcade of other statements in which Hillary has been caught misspeaking like a rug. And the most prominent of these statements have been those that were used to pad her resume so much that you'd need an oversized pantsuit coat to hide it.

"Did I say I was instrumental to peace in Belfast? I mean that I was instrumental to TEAS in Belfast."

"Did I say I always disliked NAFTA? I mean I couldn't stand ASTA - stupid little terrier."

"Did I say it was an honor to be here with Barack? I mean I'm gonna rip his lungs out! And we'll still be friends."

All these are part and parcel of a broader pattern of what begins as self-deception, where previous goalposts cease to be operative, where people who dare to cross you get labeled as "Judas," and where by some weird transference, you not just accuse, but actually BELIEVE that your opponent is guiltier of all your sins than you are.

Some people are mistakenly equating Hillary's growing credibility gap with what happened to Al Gore. Leaving aside that Gore was unfairly smeared, while Hillary is self-inflicting these wounds, it's more accurate to equate her with Richard Nixon.

Nixon destroyed himself because he obsessed over what the Kennedys had "done to him." He went nutsy-commando with the Plumbers, with the Ellsberg break-in and the enemies list and, of course, with Watergate, because he rationalized that it had been done to him, and everyone else was doing it, and so he had to do it to protect his Presidency because he was what was best for - and about - America.

Hillary Clinton has become Nixon.

Clinton feels that all their years of being Atwatered and Starred and Roved meant that she HAD to play the game at sewer level just to survive. In fact, she was JUSTIFIED to play that way, because of what had been done to her and to Bill.

Justified, pre-absolved, sanctified and anointed.

And just as McGovern became the unwitting stand-in for the Kennedys as the focus of Nixon's ire and the target of his tricks, so too has Barack Obama become Hillary's bayonet dummy stand-in for the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

So when Hillary's - and Wolfson's - lips are moving, they're not misspeaking. They're getting even.

It's not surprising that the Republicans want to run against Hillary. Listen to the republican pundits who work in the real world (outside of FOX). Pundits like Joe Scarborough and Pat "Rodham" Buchanan suddenly love her. They know that she's a pathelogical liar.

Obama's in his primary Senate campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school. There is a vast difference between the two titles. Professors have tenure while lecturers do not. He's also not a constitutional professor. Obama also claimed credit for nuclear leak legislation that never passed. Contrary to Mr. Obama's comments it eventually died from parliamentary wrangling in the Senate. Mr. Obama misspoke when he relayed a story of how his mother and father fell in love because of the tumult of Selma. He was born in 1961, four years before the conflict at Selma took place. He later clarified himself, saying: 'I meant the whole civil rights movement. Sen. Obama took too much credit for his community organizing efforts. Obama says he initiated and led efforts that thrust Altgeld's asbestos problem into the headlines, pushing city officials to call hearings and a reluctant housing authority to start a cleanup. Credit for pushing officials to deal with the cancer-causing substance, according to interviews and news accounts from that period, also goes to a well-known preexisting group at Altgeld Gardens and to a local newspaper called the Chicago Reporter. Obama does not mention either one in his book. Sen. Obama has said many times 'I passed a law that put Illinois on a path to universal coverage", but Obama's health care legislation merely set up a task force. Just do a google search of "obama misstatements", they're not hard to find since there are many. Least of all why he still continues to strongly condemn the statements of the pastor who's church he attends, yet this seems normal behavior to him and his supporters
