I KNEW this was going to happen and it is going to be FUn to watch. She Who Is Not To Be Denied the Presidency is now getting desperate due to the fact that Barack Obama has surged past her in the polls. As a result, the Hillary War Room is going into overdrive in an attempt to smear Obama. They haven't pulled out the big guns quite yet but the dirt they did hurl was quite amusing. This dirt came in the form of the fact that young Barack (or Barry as he was known then) was overheard in kindergarten expressing a desire to become president. That assertion was so laughable that after a couple of days, Hillary flunkie, Mark Penn, had to pretend that, heh-heh, it was really a joke all along. Yeah...suuuuure. What is going to be fascinating to watch will be the really dirty smears the Hillary people are preparing to hurl Obama's way. They have no reluctance to engage in such dirty campaigning since Hillary MUST win at all costs. So stand by for some great entertainment ahead. This HUffington Post THREAD titled, "Obama Cashing In On Clinton Criticism," is but one of many such threads about Hillary's dirty campaign in the leftwing blogosphere. So let us now watch the HUffies get offended by Hillary's smear campaign in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who loves to watch Democrats smear other Democrats, is in the [brackets]:
Obama Cashing In On Clinton Criticism
[If I had a buck for every smear hurled by Hillary, I would be rich.]
Senator Barack Obama is capitalizing on his political opponent's attacks by using them as a cash cow. In an email yesterday and today to his supporters, the Illinois Democrat asked for donations to help respond to criticisms lobbed his way by primary opponent Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.
[Barack. This is just the beginning. It won't be mere criticisms that will be hurled at you. Be prepared to be on the receiving end of some REAL dirt. That is the Hillary way of campaigning. Get used to it.]
"Several weeks ago, Senator Clinton said she wasn't going to attack fellow Democrats," Ben Labolt, an Obama spokesman told the Huffington Post, "but as the polls have shifted, that has changed. While Senator Clinton said attacking other Democrats is the 'fun part' of the campaign, we think this campaign must be centered around uniting the country and solving people's problems. As we said at the outset, we plan to respond forcefully with the truth when we are attacked."
[FUn for Hillary and FUn for me watching the smear attack.]
During the past week, Clinton has accused Obama of, among other things, being inexperienced in foreign affairs and overly-ambitious politically. The attacks, however, ventured towards the absurd when the Clinton campaign accused Obama of being a careerist by citing, among other things, a report written by his kindergarten teacher saying that Obama wanted to be president. Two days after that attack was leveled, Mark Penn, Clinton's chief strategist, said the early schooling reference was meant to be a joke.
[Clinton diggs into Obama's kindergarten records but won't release her own college thesis about fighting dirty to the public.]
The back-and-forth reflects what political observers say is a growing acrimony between the candidates. Indeed, as the primary election approaches and the race tightens, the campaign has grown increasingly nasty. As reporter David Corn highlighted in a recent blog post, members of Clinton's campaign have come to "despise" Obama for being, what they deem to be, a "dishonest poser."
"They truly believe it," Corn writes. "And other Democrats in Washington report encountering the same when speaking with Clinton campaign people. "They really, really hate Obama," one Democratic operative unaffiliated with any campaign, tells me. "They can't stand him. They talk about him as if he's worse than Bush." What do they hate about him? After all, there aren't a lot of deep policy differences between the two, and he hasn't gone for the jugular during the campaign. "It's his presumptuousness," this operative says. "That he thinks he can deny her the nomination. Who is he to try to do that?" You mean, he's, uh, uppity? "Yes." A senior House Democratic aide notes, "The Clinton people are going nuts in how much they hate him. But the problem is their narrative has gone beyond the plausible.""
[Hillary hates Obama because he is a stumbling block to her annointment as president. And now to the HUffie responses to this dirty campaign...]
Is it just me, or does this seem like one of the LAMEST lineups of possibilities for the presidency this country has ever seen this campagne season?
[Or in champagne season.]
I hope it's not true that someone in Clinton campaign said that they think Obama is uppity. Everyone knows that what other word is assoicated with uppity and it's not negro. I think HRC internal polls are showing more deep trouble for her campaign so she is slashing and burning hoping Edwards will win Iowa (knowing he doesn't have the organization or money to go the distance) so that she can neutralize Obama and Hillary can grab her crown.
[Anyone standing in the way of Her Highness will be labeled as uppity.]
Listen to Hillary's nit-picking...no love lost for Obama...her true colors are shining through, and she's gonna hang her own nomination if she keeps it up!!
[Beautiful!!!]
The remark from Clinton operative said "That Obama thinks he can deny her the nomination. Who is he to try to do that." That's a further proof that Clinton exudes a sense of entitlement, which has extended to her entire camp. She does think that by dafault she should be the nominee. Shame on her!
[The great thing about Hillary is that she will take down Obama at ALL COSTS even if she looks like a dirtbag in doing so.]
Good for him. Let her pay the price of attacking his kindergarten paper.
[True story. In kindergarten I actually thought Santa Claus was the president. I didn't get straightened out on this until the first grade.]
So shrill Hill keeping with a bet she made with her hair dresser, pulls up her pants and demonstrates how butch she can be. Reading prepared attack statements her desperation evident, she informs the audience that Obama had presidential ambitions while still in kindergarten .(she somehow missing the irony of that statement when compared to who is now sitting in oval office). Obama cool as a cucumber refutes the accusations with a wry smile, knowing the basis of her attacks stem from internal polling showing her approval dropping faster then slick willies pen behind a women wearing a shirt skirt. Obama , confidence growing by the minute, uses the attacks to raise a few quick million from the women Oprahs endorsement have brought to his campaign.One such women when asked why she has changed her support from Hillary to Obama explains it this way, "Nothing personal but to me Obama is THE MAN! but Hillary will always be just one of the girls."
[Shrill Hill wants to Kill Bill for hurting her campaign with his recent statement about always being opposed to the war in Iraq.]
A lot of Hillary supporters are having second thought after she attacked him for an essay he wrote in Kindergarten. That's wack.
[Was his kindergarten essay a thesis about political attack ala Saul Alinsky?]
Look at her recent petty attacks on Obama. Do you think she can win over Republicans after they hear her investigating his grammar school papers to show how AMBITIOUS Obama is? I mean HRC labeling someone else ambitious will probably ensure that if she gets the nod, it will be at a very narrow margin. She won"t win over enough independents or Republicans because she is incredibly disliked. That is how the Dems will lose the WH nominating her. We didn"t lose good enough with Kerry, so we should run Hillary. LOL
[Democrats are in a lose/lose situation thanks to Hillary's desperation.]
Hillary won't win in the general and is less and less popular the more we have to see and hear her, and Obama can't win in the general election so what are we doing..?
[Try giving up...NOW!]
So true.. Hillary suporters come join us. The truth will set you free! It must be hard for you to wake up everyday and having to justify all her lapses in judgement like her vote for the Iraq war, her disingenous positions, her flip floping. I know you mean well, but Hillary's not what America needs right now. We need an honest principled leader who will not cast votes based on political expediency. America needs someone like Obama. Be honest, Obama is reminiscent of a JFK or an Abe Lincoln. These type of leaders only come once in a lifetime. Let's seize the opportunity and move America towards greatness!
[Have no fear. Once the Hillary War Room gets done with Obama he will be unelectable permanently.]
Popularity is a strange thing. Suddenly Donnie and Marie Osmond are back in the headlines and people want me to vote for Obama. No thanks to all three of them...
[I'm sort of leaning towards seeing Marie Osmond in the White House.]
Father was an atheist.
[So was Barack's mother. Plus she was an earth child type space cadet. But I'll let the Hillary campaign publicize all that info. Hee! Hee!]
However, personal attacks only feed into ammunition the Republicans will seek to use later, and personal attacks are all the Republicans have. Conservative policies have already failed across the board under George W. Bush.
[Let's see. Hillary makes personal attacks on Obama so it must be the fault of the EVIL Republicans.]
Mrs. Bill is turning into a laughings stock, and Bill is helping.
[Anyone get the feeling that Mr. Bill is not too keen on Mrs. Bill going back into the White House?]
We will decide who becomes the next president. And if that disrupts Hillary's plans to be crowned Queen Madame President --- well, then GOOD!!
[Careful. Hillary already has the transcripts of your kindergarten essays. BTW, do kids in kindergarten even write essays? Somehow I remember it wasn't until the first grade before we even began learning how to spell.]
PING!
Top five! Bow, lesser posters!

I just hate seeing Shrillery begin to lose it this early. I’d prefer it after the primary (which she’d win). She’s the easiest candidate to beat head-on.
So the Democrats are about to do another high tech lyniching of an uppity black man?
Top ten.
#8?
A Mormon? In the WhiteHouse?
(lame joke on my part)
top 15
I wonder what Hillary wanted to be as an adult when she was in kindergarten? Besides manager of the Yankees.
13?
...no liberal left uneducated policy
But we all know that hatred can be blinding. Clinton is, as has been noted, running the risk of alienating those kindhearted souls of Iowa by slamming the lovable, likable and inspiring Barack Obama. She could end up looking a bit desperate. Candidates are always responsible for their campaigns, and they can be judged accordingly. If the Clinton campaign throws anything it can against Obama--with little regard for accuracy or decency--that will reflect her own character and values. It could, to turn her words against her, be a disqualification for the job.
My next door neighbor is an Obama fan. She said that Hillary is old politics, while Obama represents a good future.
You go girl!
Obama capturing the nomination will be interesting. I believe that many people will vote for him because he’s black; more will vote against him for the very same reason. But, if his nomination is what it takes to keep the Hildabeast away from soiling the oval office again (just think how she’ll compete with Bill), I’m all for Obama.
And if it all came from Bill Gates, he'd have to apply for welfare.
Every poster above is uppity!
