Obama: G- D- Hillary Clinton!
Posted on 03/21/2008 3:12:21 PM PDT by Berlin_Freeper
The campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., delivered one of its harshest, most negative attacks yet today, asserting that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., is lacking in character and regularly misleads voters.
"She is not seen as trustworthy by the American people," said Obama campaign manager David Plouffe in a conference call with reporters this morning, citing a Gallup poll released this week indicating that only 44 percent of the American people consider Clinton "honest and trustworthy," as opposed to 67 percent for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and 63 percent for Obama.
Plouffe said this perception would make it "next to impossible" for Clinton to win the general election.
"To head into a general election with over half the electorate not believing you are trustworthy is a serious problem," Plouffe said. "The American people will not elect a candidate that they do not see as trustworthy."
In the past the Obama campaign has raised these numbers to merely argue this would be a difficult hurdle for Clinton to clear, though it stopped short of blaming her for the perception she's not trustworthy.
Not today.
Today, the Obama campaign blamed Clinton for what Gallup called a "perceived honesty gap" and Plouffe called a "character gap."
Greg Craig, a former White House attorney under President Clinton who serves as a senior adviser to the Obama campaign, added that Clinton's newly released schedules from her days as first lady did not support her claims of foreign policy experience.
"Her access was very limited and her trips abroad were largely ceremonial," Craig said. "She says she is ready to be commander in chief based on claims that are not supported by reality."

Obama: G- D- Hillary Clinton!
They are both frauds.
That’s it. I’m investing in popcorn.
LOL!
Each compaign is correct about the other guy. Both are unworthy of being president. Or much else.
“...Greg Craig, a former White House attorney under President Clinton...”
Wow..Not bad. Now if only Bruce Lindsay would turn away from the dark side. His daily diary entries from the Arkansas, WH and beyond years would be worth the read. Of course, the slinking-in-the-shadows guy apparently values his life over perpetually standing knee deep in ....
“...44 percent of the American people consider Clinton “honest and trustworthy,”
That means four out of ten people you pass on the street are clods and morons. Scarey.
Character is throwing your Grandma under the bus while never “cringing” at what your pastor says.
Here's a list of partial Clinton characters:
James McDougal
Susan McDougal
Monica Lewinsky
Monica Lewinsky's mother and lawyer
Bruce Lindsay
Harold Icces
Vince Foster
Vernon Jordan
Craig Livingstone
That's a wide open gate that Hillary could drive a big enough truck through to haul her considerable bulk to the Democrat nomination.
Obama, where was your "character" for the past 20 years? .......Zoweee!
Operation Chaos. I got some white popcorn for a change of pace, but this is getting serious and I made need some Dots.
Obama tries to claim he doesn’t agree with his pastor’s hate-whitey-hustle, but Barry brings his daughters for the inculcaiton, thus insuring another generation of the ‘entitlement’s not enough chip on their shoulder’, black people like his wife! It is telling that so many democrat fools in the media are completely down for the deception (like the stupid Chris Matthews).
Don’t forget the Jujy Fruits and Red Vines.
DUH.
So what's the writer's implication, that it would blame 60% of the US population for misapplying the "untrustworthy" label? Silliness!
Of course Clinton is directly to blame for what such a large preponderance believe about her! Where such a perception might not be the fault of someone with whom the press has had long-standing enmity, the Clintons have had an adoring, Camelot-like relationship with the press for fifteen years, before some began to believe she was certain to bring election loss, shame, dwindling power to the Dhims.

I’d like to see Obama and Hillary mud wrestle.
