Folks, this blogger is simply wrong. Here’s some proof with video:

Obama did not misrepresent her on either of the 2 mailers she got so upset about.

Let’s stick to the subject instead of going the republican route and start talking about other things.

All this hair-splitting and “she did it too” is a nice try at changing the subject, but the point is, St. Barack promised a new style of politics, but in a move that smacks of desperation to knock Clinton out of the race, he engaged in the old style of politics.

Either the mailers contain false claims or they don’t. “Yeah but…” is still “yes, he did.”

Please read the ENTIRE factcheck.org article. It is very balanced and stated that Senator Clinton has engaged in the SAME shenanigans and, generaly, has misrepresented Senator Obama more severely.

I see there are a number of McCain posters here that pretend they are/were neutral.
If one real misdeed here by Omaba was enough to have you knock him off your pedestal, he wasn’t on your pedestal to begin with. Hillary has made more errors than this. It could be that the main stream media wants to write stories to churn the waters thinking that Obama is getting too much favor. And by the way, if Hillary were to win, I would vote for her too.

Oh, get over yourselves, all you anti-Omaba screechers.

Hillary may have *privately* disliked Nafta. that did *not* stop her from thanking all the supporters for Bill (she went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and thanked various praised corporations for mounting “a very effective business effort in the U.S. on behalf of NAFTA.” ),

She made numerous speeches touting the president’s support for NAFTA as well. And while this does not imply that she herself liked NAFTA, that is *physical* support she supplied. Just because I might not like carrying a heavy weight, if I *do* pick it up, I am supporting it.

If you really want to compare the two candidates, compare their bills. Hillary is *very* careful not to step on corporate toes. Obama is less so. ‘Nuff said.

We all know that obama has a “lean and mean Machine” that was tooled in Illinois. Everybody knows the Daleys and how they helped Obama. Why hasn’t Hillary gone after him before? I personally have been offended by Michele Obama and today I heard a group of women who would have voted for Obama but she so turned them off that they are going to support McCain should Obama get the nomination. Of course they worry about his lack of experience and they know what to expect from McCain. There will be no surprises there. At any rate I hope Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania give Hillary the boost she needs. The latte crowd is so mesmerized by Obama that it seems like their emotions are guiding them rather than reasoning. Personally I think we need a nominee who has demonstrated she is a can do person not a person who plays on hope and platitudes.

Shame on you Obama. You and your surrogates are disgraceful. Although I have been a democrat and voted democrat in the past, I will be voting for John McCain should Obama become the nominee of the democratic party. This distortion is way too much. Where is the “hope and change”?

I hope that Democrats will take a second look before supporting Obama and throwing away Hillary. She has been kicked to the curb after being a loyal, faithful Democrat. Shame on you Obama and the blind sheep that follow you. You are a typical politican, nothing more, except with less experience.

Wasn’t Obama speech using the NY Times statement that put the quotation marks around the word BOON? The NY Times later corrected itself by saying that its quotation marks were not valid. It looks like Obama staff went with the accuracy of the NY Times article..
