Clinton raps Obama's 'celestial choir' campaign

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Hillary Clinton today mocked Barack Obama’s campaign style as one that portrays a divine-like picture of problem-solving to voters when the challenges America face are much more complex.

Delivering a speech to several thousand people at Rhode Island College, Clinton also contended Obama had given up on implementing a universal health insurance program that she said should go hand-in-hand with other Democratic led achievements such as Social Security and Medicare as grand social programs.

Clinton discussed a litany of challenges facing the country, ranging from home foreclosure to responsibly bring troops home from the Iraq war.

“None of the problems we face will be easily solved,” she said before delivering a fanciful description of an Obama speech.

“Now I could stand up here and say, ‘Let’s just get everybody together. Let’s get unified. The sky will open. The lights will come down. Celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect.’

HELLO DADDY, HELLO MAMA (A Letter from Camp Obama)
Tune: "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)" Original

Hello Daddy
Hello Mama
Here I am at
Camp Obama
Camp's as pretty
As a painting
And they say we'll have some fun if we stop fainting

Our Barack has
Gifts of healing
Stevie Wonder's
Out four-wheeling
I met Oprah
Over dinner
Since she's been here she's got thirteen inches thinner

All the campers
Drink the Kool-Aid
That the counselors
At the school made
This is change we
Can believe in
'Cause the campers who come in here won't be leavin'

Now I just thought
I should buy ya
A small bust of
Our Messiah
You can put it
On your dashboard
It will guide and guard your car so it won't crash more

Yes we can!
Oh Daddy, Mama!
Yes we can!
I love Obama!
Don't tell me
I ought to find out facts
Of how
He plans to spend and tax

Yes we can!
I promise he will
Heal the holes
That cause the problems
In our souls
Oh please don't make me say
Just how--
He'll find a way

Got to stop now
Looks like we're through
Camp Obama
Has a curfew
Every day it's
Early rising
After "Washing of the Brains" it's "Plagiarizing"

Wait a minute
What's this gabbin'
Two new campers
In our cabin
See their nametags
Read the printin'
Seems the campers' names are Bill and Chelsea Clinton!

Hillary Clinton today mocked Barack Obama’s campaign style as one that portrays a divine-like picture of problem-solving to voters when the challenges America face are much more complex.

Hillary's campaign style starts with drawing a pentagram on stage...

Long? But?

WHAT?

[Clintonfatigued]

You have to check Posting #2. It’s priceless.

[doug from upland]

[prophetic]

“Now I could stand up here and say, ‘Let’s just get everybody together. Let’s get unified. The sky will open. The lights will come down. Celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect.’

She's got Obama pegged, that's for sure.

[COgamer]

“She’s got Obama pegged, that’s for sure.”

Yup. She’s pretty aggravated people are passing her over for a dream so unspecific all the dreamers might have a different idea of what they’re supposed to be dreaming about.

[Sacajaweau]

The two programs are in serious trouble...and we want more of the same?? BRILLIANT!!

[drierice]

Yep, they are running totally different campaigns. Obama, the naive liberal, has tried to run a lofty, head in the clouds campaign with near borderline spiritual overtones. He’s tried to morph JFK and MLK, but low on specifics. Hillary has run her campaign as the lawyer she was, arguing her case before the jury of public opinion, believing the jury will find in her favor. And we see how that’s working out.

I hope it won’t anger many to hear that I prefer McCain over either of these weirdos.

[Rennes Templar]

Obama would like to mock Hillary but it would be hard for him to choose which of the 53 different masquerading personas she has donned for the campaign to mock.

[CyberAnt]

ROTFLOL!!! Hillary takes the cake!

When her husband was running for Atty Genl in Ark, Bubba lost the first time around - mainly because of his sleazy actions. What the Clintons did was go down the street to church - but not just any church - this church was on TV every week. Bubba joined the choir and there he was on TV every Sunday morning - singing in the choir - looking like an angel.

Of course, next election - he won!

The Clintons know more about “choirs” than they are probably willing to admit.
