Hillary Clinton: 'I am so proud of Obama'
CNN ^ | Jan. 13, 2008 | Sasha Johnson and Alexander Mooney

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) – Hours after Democrat Hillary Clinton was sharply critical of rival Barack Obama in an interview on NBC's Meet The Press, the New York senator struck a different tone on his candidacy in a predominantly African-American church in South Carolina.

"Probably many of us thought we would never see the day when an African-American and a woman were competing for the presidency of the United States," Clinton said at the Northminster Presbyterian Church in Columbia. "I am so proud of my party I am so proud of my country and I am so proud of Sen. Barack Obama, because together we have presented our cases to the people."

"I am standing here, Senator Obama stands before you as a result of the generations of men and women who protested and picketed, faced dogs and tear gas," she continued. "Who were beaten and jailed who had night sticks crush their skulls. Some who lost their very lives. They risked their lives because they looked into the eyes of their children and saw the promise of a better future. We stand here today because of their sacrifice."

Clinton's comments followed her hour-long appearance on Meet The Press, in which she accused Obama's campaign of distorting remarks that she and her husband have made in recent days which touched off concerns among some African-American voters. Obama later rejected Clinton's complaints as "ludicrous."

Or do an Archie Bunker,"You're a real credit to your race."

I like that! :)

A sign that Bill's "fairy tale" line last week isn't flying with dem voters.

Not an original bone in her body, as I heard very similar words uttered by Obama earlier in the day. She's also adopted Guiliani's "good change bad change".

“She will, by the end of the campaign, be nearly compelled to select Obama as her running mate.

To not do so would obviously be racist.”

OMG. Did anyone else get hit in the stomach with that like I just did? Of course that’s her plan if she wins the Demonomination. You’re right. Then our nominee runs against both of them, in effect, together. I feel sick.

I believe it was in 1968 when Shirley Chisholm became the first black and the first woman to run for president. It's not well remembered because she was so far left that no one wanted to acknowledge her, and, IIRC, she never won a delegate.

"and I am so proud of Sen. Barack Obama,"

Translation: He's a good boy!"

"When they say to themselves, "Okay. I have a choice between a truly inspirational speaker who has not done the kind of spadework with the sort of, uh, experience that, uhhh, another candidate has --"


"Give me a break.

This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen."

Mr. Mcgovern said Obama needs to wait his turn. Its [white] ladies first and then blacks.

Hillary... why don’t you just get over it and call Obama a “boy.” You couldn’t be any more condescending...

The fix is in. Hillary had probably just gotten the word from Soros that her "inevitability" is back on track, and so now it's time to make nice with the lower class Democrats, and prepare everyone for the Veep anointing.

"I am so proud of Obama, for he finished all his spadework before sundown last night."

“But sometimes... too much spadework reflects a selfish upitiness.”
