"I'm Barack Obama, and I endorse this message."

Says it all...

[Mark]

What chaos!

[TheWasteLand]

Good riddance. Now, whose got that house for Obama?

[mrsmel]

I can't get too indignant about it, it's no different from the stunt Obama pulls on everybody else. No matter what anyone questions him about, even his own words, the thin-skinned one starts screaming about "the politics of personal destruction". Gee, I didn't know his policy positions and the words out of his own mouth were personal matters!

Somebody has to show some class in this train wreck, and it sure isn’t going to be anyone in the Clinton campaign

The Clinton's are CLass without the C and the L.

“[Hillary Clinton] is in a perpetual state of suspended anger....”

“Hillary hit him between the eyes. She was angrier than Paul had ever seen her. ‘You f**king Jew bastard!’ she screamed.”

[W]hen White House Counsel... Abner Mikva finally bowed to the law and delivered subpoenaed documents, she and her White House scandal team lashed at him with such a vicious streak of humiliating profanity that he resigned.

“Anyone that stood up... was smashed down and belittled,very personally. [N]ot only would she sort of humiliate you in front of your colleagues or whoever happened to be around, Hillary tended to kind of campaign against people behind their back, and that was certainly my experience.”

The Clinton Years

Longtime Hillary aide Carolyn Huber, who saved Mrs. Clinton’s buns in 1996 with a convenient cover story about how her mysterious Rose Law Firm billing records magically appeared in the White House book room, described the former first lady’s fits of rage to Sheehy as nearly lethal. “The person on the receiving end never gets over it,” Huber remembered, reportedly shivering as she spoke those words.

The rages continued even after Mrs. Clinton took up residence in the White House, where she blew up at a Secret Service agent for declining to carry her bags. When the agent explained that he needed to keep his hands free in order to protect her, she replied, “If you want to remain on this detail, get your f**king ass over here and grab those bags.”

Yeah, if you ever get into a situtation that depends on class from a klintoon, you are royally screwed.

That is one deep, dry well.

Ah yes, the dreaded out of context. The last refuge of someone trying to defend an indefensible statement. Tell me Terry, exactly what would be the proper context in referring to the assassination of a presidential candidate? Just curious.

I assume this is an opinion piece and not a news/analysis piece... but I'd like to turn this around to the author defending Obama... On the Reverend Wright remarks, Obama claimed those soundbites were "taken out of context". To use your quote: "Tell me, exactly what would be the proper context in referring to 'G-D America' and 'America's chickens coming home to roost!' and 'America created the AIDS virus to kill African-Americans!' Please, give us the proper context for understanding Reverend Wright and Barack Obama's worldview on such issues.
