Finally! Good going, Obama. There is no need to go negative when dealing with the Clintons. All you have to do is tell the truth, and it all comes out.

Whenever Barack Obama speaks about Hillary Clinton's experience, Barack Obama automatically brings to light his lack of political experience as a first term junior senator.

The more Barack Obama speaks about experience, the more Barack Obama holds up a mirror to himself.

Wow. Hillary opened up the borders to Kosovo before she actually arrived.

Then she assisted in bringing peace to Northern Ireland, only Sen. Mitchell
(who headed the process) has no recollection of Hillary having any direct involvement.

Hmmmm. This is starting to look like a pattern where reality is not in sync with what Hillary portrays with her words...

Hillary declares herself as making sweeping changes in Kosovo, before she physically arrives in the country.

Hillary declares herself a major player in the Irish peace-process, except the leader of that process states she didn't play a role.

Next thing you know, Hillary will be blaming George Bush for why she failed to read the reports that were given to her to read - prior to her voting to put the United States at war in Iraq.

Maybe she'll have a sky-opening up moment, where her telephone can ring 6x, the choir of angels can appear, and then a voice will come out in a reprimanding tone exclaiming:

"ALL TRANSPARENCY REQUIRES FOR THE MOMENT IS A XEROX MACHINE TO PHOTO COPY YOUR INCOME TAX RETURNS, YOUR WHITE HOUSE PAPERS, YOUR PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY DONORS LIST, THE LOCATION OF YOUR RECZKO DONATIONS, THE OUTCOME OF YOUR BUNDLED MONEY FROM NORMAN HSU, AND OTHERS, ALONG WITH A HEAVY DOSE OF TRUTH".

The ability to lead requires the ability to have sound judgement, (as well as the ability to be in touch with reality).

Barack Obama has demonstrated his leadership and readiness to do the job that was entrusted to his care from day one in public office.

A short summary of his accomplishments include:

During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced:

233 healthcare reform bills,
125 poverty and public assistance bills,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic, business and finance bills,
62 education bills,
60 civil and human rights bills,
35 infrastructure and public works bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
20 environment bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others

His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These inculded:

1. The Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - became law,
2. The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law,
3. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,
4. The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, - became law,
5. The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.

In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written over 800 bills and co-sponsored another equally large number.

An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record, and "no experience" according to Sen. Clinton - who was right there in the Senate when Senator Obama was taking action to provide outstanding leadership, rather than making false speeches claiming to have accomplished achievements for which no one else seems to have any recollection that involves Sen. Clinton - as Sen. Clinton asserts.

Perhaps the sky is indeed opening up and shedding extraordinary light on where the truth can be found, as well as making it clear why Sen. Clinton would prefer that Senator Obama's outstanding leadership and experience not be made public. Maybe that's why Sen. Clinton needs for imaginary vote in Michigan to count ( that excluded two of the three major candidates and included only Sen. Clinton's name on the ballot), and maybe that's also why Sen. Clinton needs for Florida to count - where a name recognition contest can hardly qualify for the opportunity to campaign and meet and talk with the people for whom Senator Obama cares about and is running for public office to serve.

The truth isn't hard to find.
All it requires is an open mind and the willingness to do a little reading.

Non-sense!On the one hand it's an undebatable truth that H. Clinton has experience in managing crisis: she cried when her hopes were dashed by Iowans; she didn't check the facts when the oedipal burdened Bush proposed invading Iraq to look for WMDs; she remained quiet when her husband was caught in fraganti delicto and finally, for the crisis of a campaign that was coming apart, she began to throw the kitchen sink and the whole house at Barack, with total lack of fairness, composure and truthfullness. Mr Camorra et al. should check the legislative record of both Mrs. C. and Barack: H.C, in her 6 years in the Senate has managed to author and pass into law 20( TWENTY) pieces of legislation, while Barack in his "inexperienced" years has sponsored 820 bills, introducing 233 about healthcare reform, 97 economic bills etc. etc. Go and check the facts yourself; they are open records! The one who manages to show her true colors of deception, inability to have judgement under pressure, self-centeredness, poor management skills and, above all, rhetorical gifts, is Mrs. Clinton. She has the experience of the "business-as-usual" Washington political crew, the one that thinks that we can go around telling other people that they have to do things our way because we are always right; the one that won't change a thing in the approach to Cuba because 50 plus (FIFTY, mind you) years of 'Experience" have produced great results; the one that at 3 o'clock in the morning might just unleash a bunch of tears and let go of a few atomic bombs to WIN.

BEWARE -The WEAPONS of MASS DECEPTION:

WMD's =
NBC, MSNBC - owned by GE
CBS - owned by Westinghouse
CNN - owned by AOL Time Warner
Most of "the Mainstream Media"

THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT - 29 NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS (Big MONEY)
Aka: Dick Cheney's NEXT Big ENERGY MONOPOLY RIPOFF ... ( Plan)....

Whether Cheney's PLAN succeeds ....OR NOT.... is UP to ALL of YOU.

We all know CORPORATE POWER is in control of our government and ROBBING us every way they can. The "NEWS" media is NOW nearly totally under the CONTROL of Powerful CORPORATE Interests.

The Corporate-Controlled "news" media have interlocking Boards of Directors (same member serves on multiple boards) and all of them serve to enrich their CONGLOMERATED Corporate Masters. (*see FAIR website LINK at the end of this post.)

(YOU can HELP Get the Word Out: Please post this NEWS thruout the Blogsphere and in any NEWS media you can find.)

REAL News you won't see on TV:

Obama is the pre-packaged "New & Improved Chocolate Flavor" Presidential candidate being Marketed like a PRODUCT - hyped & PUSHED by GE and its WHOLLY-Owned subsidiaries NBC & MSNBC...along with Westinghouse & its subsidiary CBS...while slamming the Clintons all day every day. (Assisted by...CNN/FOX/ and a lot of newspaper & radio media dependent on advertising $$$.) GE is the 2nd largest corporation on the planet.

Obama is IN with the Nuclear Industry: Excelon Corp of Illinois has been one of his largest contributors from his entry into politics to the present. Excelon is the largest nuke operator on the planet;owns Con-Ed of NY; more nukes in Illinois than any other state.

GE, Westinghouse, Excelon & 3 consortiums of other companies are planning to build 29 new nuclear power plants. Their Wholly-Owned & Wholly Influenced "News" media are selling the Obama Product because Obama is in favor of Nukes.

In 2005 Obama Voted FOR the Cheney Energy Bill (H.R.6) which ENABLED the nuke industry to make its Plans to build 29 new nukes-by Guaranteeing Taxpayer Payback of any nuke loans that default. (No nukes were built for the past 30 years because the banks wouldn't loan the money - too risky)

Obama Voted FOR the Cheney Energy Bill-despite the fact the Congressional Budget Office rated the risk of default on the nuke loans at 50% or greater. (Does that sound like...GOOD...JUDGMENT to You?)

[NY Times has several articles about the nuke plans & a map showing all 29 locations; Wikipedia covers the subject]

Clinton Voted AGAINST the Cheney Energy Bill and said her Energy Plan does not include nuclear.

? "Its about the FUTURE ...... Turn The PAGE" ?

Nope. Its about Turning the PAGE BACK to the PAST: Obsloete 50 yr old nuke power plants-the dirtiest most expensive kind/centrally-controlled MONOPOLY POWER-instead of deploying New, Clean, Green De-Centralized Inexpensive Energy.

An ad campaign has already begun on the TV media to re-package & re-name nuclear power plants as: GREEN & CLEAN -for- everybody too young to remember the 1970's anti-nuke movement and all the Bad News about nuclear energy.

Don't be taken in by the ad campaigns - Google:'nuclear waste dumps' & read about the hundreds of BILLIONS of gallons of nuke waste at the Hanford Washington dump; 14 tons of plutonium stored at Rocky Flats, Colorado; Barnwell, South Carolina; leaking into groundwater and rivers; plutonium released into the air around Denver from 500 instances of fires at Rocky Flats; nuke waste stored ON-SITE at every nuke reactor in America...presenting hundreds of potential "dirty bomb" targets for terrorists.

Is it true that Obama takes No Contributions/ NO MONEY from Registered Federal Lobbyists?

Yes. It's a LawyerSpeak/Trick of: Speaking a Small truth covering up a Big Lie.

Nope, doesn't take money from REGISTERED FEDERAL Lobbyists.

DOES take money from STATE Lobbyists, Not Registered Lobbyists, AND the wives, husbands, law partners,
...of REGISTERED FEDERAL Lobbyists. Gets money from the same big corporate donors as any other candidate.

Obama's campaign finances are involved in the prosecution (by Patrick Fitzgerald) and trial of his friend of 20 years Antoin Rezko. Some of the funds... allegedly...extorted by Rezko went into Obama's campaign coffers.

Curiously, Iraqi Power Plants and fraud are also involved in Rezko's trial. (Google: Obama -Rezko- Alsammarae-Auichi- IRAQ POWER PLANTS). With the Rezko trial looming over his head Obama, in all good conscience, should not have run for the Presidency - given all the unanswered questions about his involvement with Rezko; including Obama's meeting with Rezko and Rezko's friend Iraqi Billionaire Auichi. Obama's LACK of good conscience in running for President - given the very high risk that the Rezko trial will result in the election of a Republican - reveals Obama's lack of good conscience and his lack of any regard for his party, his country, or its people. Obama should withdraw from the race.

At the beginning of this campaign season a large majority of voters were looking forward to electing Clinton. Then Obama stepped in and started the dirty campaigning that has created the DIVISION he so hypocritically decries. Obama played "the race card" so he could win in South Carolina. He was caught red-handed playing that race card-but the media blamed it on Clinton -even though they all knew they were pushing THE BIG LIE..

With nearly ALL "the mainstream media" pimping for Obama & slamming, smearing, and lying about the Clintons-it is truly amazing enough voters have seen thru the Media-Created Obama "movement"-for Clinton to STILL be in the race.

The only way a very small minority can CONTROL a very large Majority is: DIVIDE & CONQUER -Exactly the same Republican Strategy/Deception they have successfully pulled for most of the last century And ALL of this century, so far. . .

GE, the nuke industry/wealthy have hedged their bets & they will get 29 new nukes IF either Obama or McCain is elected.

Ladies & Gentlemen, Dads & Moms buy nothing GE & Westinghouse are selling - not Obama, not a washing machine, a dishwasher, 29 nuke power plants, or a garbage disposer .... because there is no garbage disposer for Radioactive Nuke Waste. Do not allow them to poison the earth and your children anymore.

it's about time someone started pointing out that Clinton's claims of experience are just claims to be married to a former President. yes, it gives her valuable insight, but it isn't actual on the job experience. Deanna Favre isn't trying to become the next Packer QB by virtue of being married to a guy who could throw a football.

beyond that, Obama should keep attacking Clinton with his own strengths. Obama offers real change that our country needs, not a return to the past. i was five the last time we had a president who's last name wasn't Bush or Clinton. twenty years is enough.

Folks, take all the false statements about Sen. Obama and insert Sen. Clinton's name because it is Sen. Clinton - NOT Sen. Obama who seems to be massively funded and supported by CORPORATE AMERICA: MSNBC, CNN, HECK - EVEN FOX IS PROMOTING HER BECAUSE THEY KNOW SHE WILL LOSE TO MCCAIN.

(We didn't fall for the "she's being treated unfairly by the media" lie).

Sen. Obama does NOT accept FEDERAL LOBBYIST FUNDING, WHEREAS SEN. CLINTON - DOES. One of Sen Clinton's major contributors is through CNN ( a subsidiary of Time Warner). Maybe that explains why Wolf Biltzer looked so depressed when Sen. Clinton lost 12 in a row, or why he kept interupting Sen. Obama's applause at each and every debate that CNN ran where he was hosting the event.

Sen Clinton seems to be hiding something about her income tax returns.
WHY? WHAT IS IT THAT SEN. CLINTON IS HIDING?

That is the real reason why Sen. Clinton can't seem to find a xerox machine to photo copy her income tax returns.

She's trying to hide the real truth about who's in her back pocket.
Doesn't America deserve to know the truth?
Sen Obama has nothing to hide.
He released his income tax returns a very long time ago.

A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote to insure that everything stays the SAME.

Imagine: Sen. Clinton took action to open the borders in Kosovo - before her plan even arrived there!!!

That's right up there along with the other myth: that she couldn't somehow READ the reports given to her BEFORE she voted to SUPPORT THE WAR IN IRAQ and ENGAGE IN MILITARY ACTION.

And that's right up there with her declaration that she impacted the Irish-peace process, when the person who LED the process has no recollection of Sen. Clinton being directly involved in ANY MANNER!!!

I guess WORDS DO MATTER, as does the ethics and integrity behind your words.

Hearing about Hillary's experience is like hearing Nixon saying, "Trust me, I have a (secret) plan to end the Vietnam War." She needs to releases documents about experience on her resume and her (and Bill's) tax records, including all her campaign donors. I still question how anybody can accomplish all she claims when she didn't even have a security clearance.

You are all so wrong. I will post some quotes from CBS's "For the Record" on Hillary.

But first:

Geraldine Ferraro was on the News Hour the other night and said how she was with Hillary for some of that diplomatic work, and how "You don't have to negotiate treaties to get diplomatic experience."

I have been on blogs and message boards with people from all over the world, and the Clintons are "loved." They use the word "loved."

The first Clinton Administration was one of the most successful we've ever had in history.

By the end of the Clinton presidency, the numbers were uniformly impressive. Besides the record-high surpluses and the record-low poverty rates, the economy could boast the longest economic expansion in history; the lowest unemployment since the early 1970s; and the lowest poverty rates for single mothers, black Americans, and the aged. Real wages, after declining over the course of the Reagan and Bush years, rose under Clinton. To be sure, the gap between the very rich and everyone else widened???as it has continued to do since???but gains for the rich, for once, didn't leave behind the poor and lower middle class.

People, get real! Senator Bill Nelson and others that want a repeat vote in Florida and Michigan should have pointed out their misgivings prior to the election. The rules were made over a year ago and everyone, including Senator Clinton knew it. Florida and Michigan violated the rule set by the DNC and losing their delegates is the consequence. A premise in Law is that "the rule of law is the supremacy of law."
The fact that senator Clinton was the first lady does not make her the most qualified to answer that "phone call at 0300." I do not know any physician's wife that claim their years of marriage as medical experience, thereby making them more qualified than others....
If we go by qualifications alone, then the most qualified is Senator Mccain. As a democrat, I enjoyed and I am proud of the achievements of President Clinton. However, it is a different world and we should never stop thinking about tomorrow, remember,"Don't stop thinking about tomorrow," president' Clinton's campaign song. If senator Clinton continue her demand to change the rules in the middle of the game in regards to Florida and Michigan, it attest that she has no regards for rules and would do anything to win even if it divides the party. Consequently, if she wins the nomination through Florida and Michigan,this democrat will vote for senator Mccain.

CLINTON EXPERIENCE = CLINTON FAILURE The Clintons hushed up a federal report issued in 1994 that warned of possible terrorist strikes, including how hijackers could use airliners to hit landmarks such as the Pentagon or White House. The excuse for the secrecy was that they didn???t want to cause panic. Preserve the ???fairytale??? world image that the Clintons had promoted, ???don???t act, don???t tell???. So far, the media and the opposition have refrained from bringing/flinging at the Corrupt Clintons the bitter terrible truth. That they FAILED to focus on terrorism, and FAILED to focus on Osama bin Laden. They FAILED miserably to focus an all-out effort to capturing or killing Osama bin Laden. The CIA report states that they were not authorized to ???kill??? bin Laden by the Corrupt Clintons. The Clintons attorney briefed the CIA on Bill???s special instructions: if the CIA captured him they were to make every effort to ensure his comfort. Comfort for a killer? CIA reports described building a custom-built ergonomically correct chair for the tall terrorist. Details of concern were the comfort of the shackles. Osama bin Laden had a long beard. The CIA was told that caution needed to be taken that the tape needed to gag bin Laden would not harm his beard. The Clintons were so cautious of international repercussions that they managed to obstruct and delay the capture of a most-wanted criminal. They had several opportunities, two terms in office, with much power at their command. Yet, they undeniably, unforgivably FAILED. This should be most memorable non-accomplishment of the eight years under the Teflon Team.
Sandy Berger was Bill Clinton???s National Security Advisor. The 9/11 Commission, appointed to investigate the Al Qaeda attacks, would assess the Clinton Administration preceding 9/11. Clinton appointed Berger to act as his representative. In preparation for his testimony, Berger was given access to the highly classified material in the National Archives relating to 9/11. Berger testified at the hearing that Clinton did all he could to deal with terrorist threats. Later, when it was learned that Berger had removed Archive documents, the Justice Department accepted his testimony that he had only taken some copies of reports to review, and returned them later, except for a few duplicates, just a mistake. Berger got off with a plea deal, surrendered his license to practice law and was not required to take a lie detector test. When made public, the Clintons claimed politics were behind all the fuss over nothing. The National Archives held evidence so highly classified that few were allowed to view the material. Berger was allowed to enter a room with a cell phone, and other security violations worked in his favor. It was later discovered that MISSING DOCUMENTS FROM THE ARCHIVES INCLUDED CRITICAL ASSESSMENTS OF THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION HANDLING OF TERRORIST THREATS. It is not known what was in those documents that Berger risked his reputation, career and imprisonment for, and compromised the entire 9/11 investigation. The information could have provided answers to what went wrong before 9/11 and what COULD HAVE/SHOULD HAVE been done to prevent further attacks.
Sandy Berger was selected to be on Hillary???s team of National Security Advisors, along with Madeline Albright and Richard Holbrooke, all former members of Bill Clinton???s cabinet.
