Clinton came across as craven and dishonest, while the normally eloquent Obama buckled under tough questioning about his relationships with former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Gibson reminded Obama that more than year ago he asked Wright not to attend the announcement of his candidacy, reportedly telling his long-time pastor, "You can get kind of rough in sermons. So, what we've decided is that it's best for you not to be out there in public." Gibson then asked Obama why, knowing Wright was "rough in sermons," it took him more than year to distance himself from remarks.
Obama responded unconvincingly, saying that even though he had close relationship with Wright that spanned decades, it wasn't until he read an article in Rolling Stone that he found out that the reverend had delivered inflammatory sermons, and that it wasn't until he saw YouTube clips that he was aware of Wright's even more explosive comments.
But in last month's highly touted race speech, Obama said: "Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? YES."
Clinton didn't fare any better when, by video, a voter asked about her fantastical recreation of her visit to Bosnia in 1996.
"I can tell you that I may be a lot of things. But I'm not dumb," Clinton said. "On a couple of occasions in the last weeks, I just said some things that weren't in keeping with what I knew to be the case and what I had written about in my book."
Well there's a word for when intelligent people say things that they know not to be true. It's called: LYING. I'm surprised she never learned this from her grandfather who worked in the lace mills in Scranton.

Obama also danced on tax increases and he got called on it.
He needs to sign up for Klinton-101 to enhance is lying skills.
Too many older Democrats in this country have it ingrained in their souls to go in and pull the Dem lever every election, my mother-in-law is one, my own mother is another, although I’ll have to say she’s having to think about it more now. We will always have problems pulling in more Republican votes because of it.
My Grandpa is one of those older Democrat voters. He says he’s voting for McCain.
Judging by what Rev Wright has been saying and doing lately, it sure doesn’t look like he’s good buds with Obama. Who needs enemies with a friend like him...
Good for your Grandpa. The older folks should also wake up to what the Rats would do to their health care.
My MIL. When we tell her about Obama's pro-infanticide voting record, she changes the subject. It's all about free stuff.
The crazy Democrats are going to nominate a guy who can't possibly win a general election, even worse than Kerry.
Your grandpa understands that he has a Democrat lite alternative (McCain) in the race so he’s not straying too far from his roots.
Democrats=Fail
I think pajamas media has reduced the ability to lie your way to the top.
If we had the internet in 1992, WJC & HRC would never have risen beyond the level of Ozark political hacks.
The Democrat Party Officials have gone from thinking they have a certain win to wondering if they can even win ONE state.
That’s the way I see it.
video-McCain older than dirt.
Reverend Phelps = "God hates Fags"
Reverend Wright = "God hates Whites"
Sure seems to be a lot of hate going on in the Rev ranks lately.
“craven” may be the most apt adjective for Hillary yet!
