Obama Site Visitors Redirected to Clinton Campaign
On the eve of the presidential primary in Pennsylvania, an online prankster leveraged a security vulnerability on Sen. Barack Obama's campaign Web site to redirect visitors to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign site.
According to Symantec, someone embedded computer code into a posting on the Obama blog. The content in this case targeted a cross-site scripting flaw (XSS), an exceedingly common type of vulnerability that can be used to automatically redirect Web browsers viewing the affected page to another site.
The redirect was posted shortly after the Obama site was listed at xssed.com, a collaborative online archive of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities present in thousands of Web sites.
While the episode appears to have been little more than a prank, the Web site flaw could have been used for more nefarious purposes, such as silently installing malicious software from third-party sites or popping up a fake campaign contribution page to steal money from Obama supporters, said Zulfikar Ramzan, a senior researcher at Symantec.
"Clearly, if someone wanted to make money off of this they could have easily put browser exploit code in there," Ramzan said. Redirecting visitors to malicious sites that use browser exploits to silently install nasty software also could be an embarrassing moment for the campaign that might deter people from contributing online, a major source of fundraising these days, Ramzan said.
The Obama campaign appears to have fixed the flaw that allowed the redirects. But interesting enough, Clinton's site is similarly vulnerable, according to xssed.com. Security Fix confirmed by clicking on the link at that archive that the login page at "connect.hillaryclinton.com" currently contains a cross-site scripting flaw that could redirect visitors or present them with scam pages.

The Clinton scumbag machine plays again! Hitting the Obama website to redirect folks to the Clinton site. Break down of voting machines in African American neighborhoods on Philadelphia. This is what the American people can expect from Day One--corrupt, lying, adulterous, treacherous, ruthless and incompetent co-presidents. The Clinton Dynasty cannot even run a clean and successful campaign, with its Presidential brand and party machine, its lies and gender and race gaming, and deep pockets. Hilalry is now in debt, has lost more states, more delegates and more popular votes to Obama. What do we the people have to do for her to lose her sense of dynastic entitlement and to stop her scorched earth, dog in the manger, if she can't win it make Obama lose in November, race? The Democratic Party elders MUST do the right thing and listen to the voices of the majority. Turn the page against politics as hateful and divisive and for the 21st century to a more perfect union.

MY FELLOW "BITTER", STUPID, WORKING CLASS PEOPLE :-)
If you think like Barack Obama, that WORKING CLASS PEOPLE are just a bunch of "BITTER"!, STUPID, PEASANTS, Cash COWS!, and CANNON FODDER. :-(
You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!
You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.
You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..
You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)
Best regards
jacksmith... Working Class :-)
p.s. You Might Be An Idiot! :-)
If you don't know that the huge amounts of money funding the Obama campaign to try and defeat Hillary Clinton is coming in from the insurance, and medical industry, that has been ripping you off, and killing you and your children. And denying you, and your loved ones the life saving medical care you needed. All just so they can make more huge immoral profits for them-selves off of your suffering...
You see, back in 1993 Hillary Clinton had the audacity, and nerve to try and get quality, affordable universal health care for everyone to prevent the suffering and needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of you each year. :-)
Approx. 100,000 of you die each year from medical accidents from a rush to profit by the insurance, and medical industry. Another 120,000 of you die each year from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don't die from. And I could go on, and on...
Posted by: jacksmith | April 22, 2008 4:27 PM
you dont need an extraordinary experience to be president. you need good judgement and the ability to mobilise people to work. It just like a typical boss. so Hillary can go to hell with all her experince because she still needs people to do the majority if not all the work. America is not only for the Clinton family. Its not a dinasty or a kindom where you inherit it. They have had their share and it only selfish people like the Clintons who would want to come back.

A desperate attempt by Clinton supporters to get people to visit her sites. Obama needs no such tricks because people are flocking to his rallies, falling over themselves to give him money for the campaign and constantly clicking his name on the internet so much so that a little diversion to the very lonely Clinton sites will actually help to ease the net-traffic.

I´d just like to add that people need to remember that there are no caucuses in the General election.

When she talked about her faith, she came across as being a God-fearing Christian and that all her life, her faith has guided her. Just what is her faith, I wonder? Is it a pact with the the devil, himself? Lying, cheating, distortions, fraud, slander, scorched-earh and slash-and-burn tactics, race care, gender card, throwing kitchen sinks, fear mongering...these activities certainly do not speak of being a good Christian. They do, however, bespeak of evil and destruction....yes, I would say Hillary and Bill sold their souls to the devil a long, long time ago!! She says she will attack Iran, and then goes further saying if Iran CONSIDERS attacking Israel, then "we" will nuke them and anhaliate them. Just when will she make the determination of Iran considering attacking Israel? At one of those 3:00 AM red phone calls when that 60 year old woman is exhausted and "misspeaks"?? That woman is insane, a threat, and dangerous to our country. Time to say buh-bye to the Clintons. They are bent on destroying America; as if they haven't damaged it more than enough already!

I don't understand these allegations of Obama supporters intimidating Clinton supporters at caucuses. In the WA caucus I attended, the Clinton supporters ran the thing, set the rules, set the secretaries, counted the votes, and on and on. They looked like professional caucus goers: old-time party hacks who have been to every caucus since they were eligible to vote. They tried to throw around all kinds of silly motions, none of which worked. Each of them had a "Roberts Rules of Order" book (a sure-fire sign of impending doom). Obama supporters outnumbered them 42-8 in my precinct, 3-1 statewide.
Granted, the whole process was chaotic, boring, and silly. And Obama would have won a statewide popular vote by the same margin anyhow. It was a colossal waste of time.
But here's the BIG POINT: both Clinton and Obama played on the same field. Clinton could have been just as organized on the ground as Obama, but she wasn't. That's not why she lost WA. She lost here because people here don't like her. Nevertheless, over and over again in this election we've seen the Clinton camp make unexpected and uncharacteristic blunder after blunder.
Is there any proof of intimidation, or is it just hearsay and conjecture? Reports from the Texas 2nd round caucus were rampant with the Clinton camp making all manner of silly motions and orders and objections to stall, stymie, or outlast Obama supporters.

OR, is HE displaying and projecting HIS OWN racism and bigotry upon the white people in Pennsylvania? I hope the voters kick him out on his hindend the next time he comes up for election.

That asside, yes; people do look at Hillary and see Bill. But you know what?... I don't think it would be so bad. If you look back, He never caused us any real harm, nothing close to what any recent Republican has.
So if people want to vote for her experience, let them. Go vote on your own, stop wasting internet space bickering.
And if others want to vote for Obama because of his speaches, let them.
But seriously... do you think the Clinton's have the time or even care to hire a hacker to do this? Please; with the money they've got, they'd have been more likely to do a DDoS attack on the site and simply shut it down, not redirect it. It's a simple prank pulled by some kid. Let it go.

Since the ads are still going nonstop in Pennsylvania, I thought I'd provide an 11th-hour summary of 10 Hillary positives. The media -- and the Obama campaign -- have attempted to paint their policies and experience as virtually indistinguishable in order to justify its ongoing emphasis on petty bickering and gossip over their secret thoughts and beliefs.
Here, then, are 10 reasons for a Democrat to prefer Hillary to any other candidate.
1. Hillary grasps economic concepts: knowledge a president will need in January -- given our nation's debt, job loss, credit crunch, recession....
2. Hillary has a plan to get us out of Iraq, a plan that the 34 flag rank military officers who endorsed Hillary also find impressive.
3. Hillary has a health care plan that offers the broadest coverage for Americans.
4. Hillary's Senate committee assignments encompass a wide array of issues -- including veterans affairs, education, military issues, labor, health, and the environment -- which give her a solid foundation from which to help shape public policy.
5. Hillary understands foreign policy and has dealt with officials from dozens of other nations. This will be useful, as our nation tries to solve problems with nations of the Middle East, Africa, South America, Europe....
6. Hillary has broad support among American voters, evinced by her wins in the primaries of big states (e.g., California and New York) and swing states (e.g., Florida and Ohio). In short, Hillary's in a good position to compete with John McCain.
7. Hillary has demonstrated concern for fellow Americans -- starting with her civil rights activities during college and her work during the seven years after college, which she devoted to public service (instead of taking her Yale law degree straight to lucrative arenas).
8. Hillary has broad life experience. As well as public service, she has experience in private law practice and the corporate realm, which gives her the perspective needed to help reconcile our nation's many competing interests.
9. Hillary has learned how to get things done in Washington, both as a second-term senator and as a First Lady. For seven years, she has worked with members of Congress, some of whom had been nasty to her family. Hillary put aside the personal stuff and worked on getting things done.
10. Hillary is strong, resilient, and tenacious. She has faced more scrutiny and ugly attacks than most politicians, yet she's still standing. Better than that, she's still fighting. That's the spirit a president needs in order to solve the many grave problems our nation faces. (BNPolitics)
The next president is going to have a hard, nasty slog cleaning up after Bush. Why put Obama through it? He only thinks he wants to be president right now because he hasn't seen close-up with the job involves. Save him and his glamour and aura and fabulousness for the next election cycle, after he's shown that he can stand up to harsh scrutiny as well as Hillary.

What kind of message is Iran getting from Hilliary? I'll tell you, they are getting the same message we are. With talk like that, Hilliary is INVITING more 9/ll attacks on U.S. soil!! Think about it, why should/would Iran, or any other country that hates us, wait until Hillary pushes the nuke button? They won't!

11. Hillary will raise taxes with all of her programs. Who else will foot the bill? (Barack will as well.) So how are taxpayers getting a better deal than they are now in the next four-years?

My God people. Why are we still here? I would suggest that we all cast our votes and move on. Posting here isn't convincing anyone-- NO ONE is undecided anymore. Worse, it encourages the media to drag this thing out longer.
Let's demand that the media talk about real issues. In the end, what we really want are good solutions to the crises that we face. Look, all the typing in the world ain't going to change my vote for Obama or anyone elses for Clinton. However, I for one am still open to new ideas on how to fix our broken energy policy. Somewhere in this election cycle, we got so focused on the candidates that we forgot the issues!
If you agree with this post. Please end your post with the phrase "MORE ARTICLES ON REAL ISSUES." We can send a message to the WashingtonPost that we really care about solutions and frank discussion on REAL problems.

Think about it. If Hillary was black, I am sure she would have been out of the competition long long long time ago. Despite all her dishonesty, lies and the horrible negative campaign she is running against Obama, she is still there just because she is a WHITE woman. Nothing less, nothing more.

It's sad to see so many Obama supporters showing their elitism with their belittling and condescending posts towards people whom support Clinton. There appear to be far more Obama supporters behaving this way compared to Clinton supporters. You would think that the Obama supporters would want to prove that claim wrong by showing that if they treat Clinton supporters with respect, then surely Obama behaves the same way. Instead, I'm seeing behavior that makes me wonder about Obama's elitism if so many of his supporters (and pastor) engage in the same activity.

This is for the guy who thinks your an idiot for voting for obama:
Now let's look more closely at Obama.
I was blown away as I started going through his record. I've already mentioned his bills on health care and energy. In addition he had introduced bills on Iran, voting, veterans, global warming, campaign finance and lobbyists, Blackwater, global poverty, nuclear proliferation, and education.
On Iran: S.J.RES.23 : A joint resolution clarifying that the use of force against Iran is not authorized by the Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Iraq, any resolution previously adopted, or any other provision of law.
On votingPassed out of Committee and now on the Senate Calendar for Feb. 22, 2008
S.453 : A bill to prohibit deceptive practices in Federal elections Please check this out! This is a great bill. We need this. I can't believe that this time voter intimidation is not already illegal.
On veterans and military personnel: S.1084 : A bill to provide housing assistance for very low-income veterans;
On global warmingS.1324 : A bill to amend the Clean Air Act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation fuel sold in the United States;S.1389 : A bill to authorize the National Science Foundation to establish a Climate Change Education Program; S.AMDT.599 to S.CON.RES.21 To add $200 million for Function 270 (Energy) for the demonstration and monitoring of carbon capture and sequestration technology by the Department of Energy. (This last one passed both the House and the Senate as part of the budget bill.)
On campaign finance and lobbyists S.2030 : A bill to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require reporting relating to bundled contributions made by persons other than registered lobbyists; and S.AMDT.41 to S.1 To require lobbyists to disclose the candidates, leadership PACs, or political parties for whom they collect or arrange contributions, and the aggregate amount of the contributions collected or arranged.
On Blackwater S.2044 : A bill to provide procedures for the proper classification of employees and independent contractors, and for other purposes, and S.2147 : A bill to require accountability for contractors and contract personnel under Federal contracts, and for other purposes.
On global poverty S.2433 : A bill to require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.
On global nuclear proliferation S.1977 : A bill to provide for sustained United States leadership in a cooperative global effort to prevent nuclear terrorism, reduce global nuclear arsenals, stop the spread of nuclear weapons and related material and technology, and support the responsible and peaceful use of nuclear technology.
As I mentioned earlier, Clinton is a frequent co-sponsor on many of Obama's bills. So is Ted Kennedy. So are a number of Republicans.
Finally, Obama appears to have a better record last year in the Senate on getting his bills and amendments passed than does Clinton. I've listed everything that passed the Senate for each them at the end in boxes. But check out Thomas.loc.gov for yourself. I may have missed something.
In my eyes Obama is the superior choice in every way. He cares about more of the issues that matter to me. Kids and health care are important but so is the issue of global warming, on which Clinton introduced not a single bill last year.

I find it funny that almost every post calling someone else an idiot is absolutely riddled with typos and errors.
Typing in ALL CAPS is considered rude, please people; this isn't 1998 anymore. If you're going to post online use proper tact.
That asside, yes; people do look at Hillary and see Bill. But you know what?... I don't think it would be so bad. If you look back, He never caused us any real harm, nothing close to what any recent Republican has.
So if people want to vote for her experience, let them. Go vote on your own, stop wasting internet space bickering.
And if others want to vote for Obama because of his speaches, let them.
But seriously... do you think the Clinton's have the time or even care to hire a hacker to do this? Please; with the money they've got, they'd have been more likely to do a DDoS attack on the site and simply shut it down, not redirect it. It's a simple prank pulled by some kid. Let it go.

But as of late, things have turned to the spin portion of the elections and there aren't going to be any minds changed without:

Obama says race is not an issue, but sex is. There have been so many posts here quoting bill's accomplishments that hillary's are ignored. This is not bill's third term guys.
Additionally, if race isn't an issue, why is little miss obama up there complaining about Hillary's race. You know obama has won a huge majority of the African vote in every contest, right?
Race is an issue that obama doesn't want to tackle because it has helped him greatly, but sex is off limits. You don't see Hillary complaining about her unjust treatment.
Obama can't complain his way out of issues, if elected. We could just put some cheese and whine in the oval office.

Stupid Obama supporters would never even have the brains to hack a website. Obama probably bribed an educated Clinton or McCain supporter to develop his own site. Even more likely, he hired himself some Indians to do it, nothing like cheap overseas labor that are smarter than your own people. I bet hardly any Obama supporter knows much more about how to operate a website than to write comments on a blog spewing about how evil and dirty the white man is and that is why they cannot go too college and be too white.

Yes, no more so called elections where typical white people vote! And news flash america, Barak is right, your typical white american is a racist!

To Jacksmith... The Idiot,
Last time I checked, the presidential candidate is Hilary Clinton, not Bill Clinton. And just for your information, we are past the time where women are judged by what their husbands have accomplished, that was in the 19th century, although maybe you still live in those times!
The idiots are those who don't learn from past mistakes. Hilary has no chance of winning the nomination, all she's doing is destroying the democratic party's chances to succeed in the next elections.
The woman is bitter, she's a hypocrite, she's dishonest, she whines about things when they don't benefit her, and then embraces them when they do. She is the worst kind of politicians, she only says what she thinks you want to hear. So, talking about idiots, I wonder who that is!?
As for campaign contributors, check your facts, because you're either as dishonest as the lady, or maybe you're really an idiot, because Obama has drawn support (both moral and financial) from a record number of people who have donated because they believe in his message. Obama's contributions do not come from special interest people who are gonna dictate policy once the president is elected, but rather from ordinary citizens who believe in someone and are putting their money where their mouth is. So, drop the rhetoric and go run for some political office, you really fit the profile profile for dirty politics; like we've experienced these past 7 years.
As for experience, I would really not stand for someone like Mrs. Clinton. I'd rather have no experience at all than have her kind of experience, the experience of always making the wrong decisions and then refute them when it doesn't work out, (and I'm still not talking about Bill Clinton, but Hilary), I wouldn't get into examples, as the list is so long, we can write a book on it.
As for the republicans voting in the democratic primaries, once again, you should get your story straight, because the majority of those people have voted for Clinton to keep her in the race, so she can damage Obama's chances to win. She's doing a great job at it too... with her deceitful tactics, she should have run as a republican, she may even have won the GOP nomination.

Funny... Bill Clinton is making money off speeches for the Columbia trade, which means Hillary is too. 2 of her Campaign leader are making money supporting the Columbia trade. PA says they don't want that or NAFTA and yet they vote for it by supporting Hillary. I say out with the old and in with the new. Hillary was expected to win and she squeaked by.
She didn't need a 3 am AD this time because George played the part. You think Hillary got Bill back for Monica with George?
Not one question of Columbia, Peter Paul, and the many lies she has been involved.
Peter Paul issue could result in a felony am I right? Wow first Bill with perjury and next Hillary with a felony. LOL!!

To Yoni,
"Stupid Obama supporters would never even have the brains to hack a website."
Well maybe you haven't read the polls for the last 6 months, but over 70% of college students and recent graduates are supporting Obama. Most of Obama's supporters are young educated people, but maybe you don't know what "educated" means, open a dictionary, and check it out, and if you can't ask your elementary school teacher to show you how.
"probably bribed an educated Clinton or McCain supporter to develop his own site."
First of all, we don't develop a site, we create one, and then we edit it and maintain it, but I guess you don't know what a site is, and how it works.
Now if you're calling Republicans "educated" then I guess you're right about what you said before, you might just not know what the word means, and that's ok for someone who drops out of elementary school.
When you look at red states, you see that those are the states with the highest number of high school drop-outs and the lowest number of college graduates; and even in those states, big cities where education is deemed somewhat important vote democrats.
Maybe someone who went to an Ivy League school on a merit scholarship and graduated top-tier from Harvard Law School is "uneducated." I'm sure that's what you meant!
"Boneheads, go back to grade school and get your elementary degree you never achieved"
WOW, I just read this part, I'd really like to know which school you attended, and if it's still open for business... I'm sure that after having a desperate case like you, they decided to stop waisting tax payers money and just close doors.
Good luck with YOUR education, dude!!!

I respectfully invite you take all the time you need to understand my commentary.
Thank you for your time and let's begin:
If a person chooses to call another person from feelings of fear, hate, uncaring and unloving with thoughts and words of judgment, that are opposite to love and respect of the other person...
... than those thoughts and words, those behaviors and responses that are comming back are only reflection of the aspects of self - and yes that's a reflection of the aspects of self within, and it could be you and it could be me...
... and this person, or you, or me, can work with self and choose thoughts of love, joy and respect so than we become closer together as One nation and One world, instead of more apart and more separate...
... it is so simple ... because we each are always free to have choice about our thoughts ...
... Why not to forgive and not to show compassion for yourself and to reflection of you in other human being, that you see in another?
Why? Because from understanding of new consciousness that is now taking hold on our planet, it's also aspect of you that you talk to!
I see each of You as Magnificent Soul that choose to have Human experience in this life and experience that is uniquely Yours, and Yours only ...
... and I love You and I respect you and I trust you allowing you all your choices.
You've been conditioned by your parents and friends and by society at large, from the times you've been born and up to now, that by now you mostly don't have any awareness of your thoughts and what your thoughts create for you to experience, but let me tell you:
You are so amazing and so powerful Creators of your Own Reality ... Yes, You are !
And if you are curious how this could be, I invite you to begin looking for more information ...
... especially about how the universal Law of Attraction works ... which in most basic form is: " what you think the most, you attract to yourself and it becomes your reality".
And perhaps you have noticed, that those, who mostly speak about problems or sickness, experience mostly problems or are sick ... and those who mostly speak about love or abundance - experience mostly love or abundance ...
Those who experience hope, after short time get so accustomed to feelings of hope, because hope feels much better then feeling powerless and hopeless...
... and Sen. Barrack Obama is a very powerful messenger of hope and unity of all people of all races, all creeds, all backgrounds, all upbringings, all social and all economical groups...
... his words inspire people to become creative again and to release their fears...
... and to set themselves free from powerlessness and hopelessness ...
... and to remember their powers of creation ... while he uses his heart-felt and creative words to tell us how it is and to take back our powers and our creativity ...
... while Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain also inspire people, but they both "inspire" people to remain feeling powerless and hopeless, feeling unsecure and afraid, feeling that they can't do much to change their lives themselves, feeling bitter and unimportant, feeling more separated, and even feeling so unsecure that to think that more guns and wars will make them more secure.
Well, remaining in fear mentality can only bring misery and suffering to people who choose to not awake to hope, to respect and compassion of choices of others' ... and eventually to find their own path towards non-judgment and love toward self and others.
Hope creates more hope, and hope inspires action towards better future for self and for others, for our world ... hope unites people and brings people together to solve challenges of our times...
... while fears continues to bring more distrust and separation among people and among countries, and fear creates more fear and suffering ...
... our fears has been manifesting into all what we experienced in our world at large in the past and what we experience right now in every area of our lives.
So please make your choice wisely ... choose hope and say NO to fear! - or you can choose fear and be fearful of hope !
Remember that you are free !
So what do you want to create more for yourself? ... more hope and love, or more fear of hope and more fear of love... ?

Well she won't win in Nov. so I guess we'll have 4 more years of Bush II. I wouldn't vote for Hillary if she was the last Democrat left and her opponent was a dead guy, I still vote for the dead guy.

The only reason politics would not take a new turn is because people always think its a game of experience but NO its a game of personal and political purpose. If Clinton has not changed the way things are as someone claimed for "35 years" then what can she do now ?
But.... Listen ... I believe they both have something in terms of their political party policy but practically I believe sen. Obama can do better than Mrs Clinton. I prefer a polital game of purpose than that of critic as Mrs clinton has shown us over the past few months.

With the hateful comments listed on this page, we all lose. We are supposed to be one party with the same goals, a better life for all Americans--black, white, old, catholic, soldier, uneducated, educated,etc. It makes me sad to see that we who say we want one America fighting like "idiots" on the web and losing sight of the full pictures. I hope all of us "Goddamn Americans" get our egos out of the way and act like civilized Americans with clear vision for the sake of our country and pure hearts--educated or uneducated.

We all know that Hillary is 60 and she is ready to cause numerous damage to Obama before she is booted out. She is desperate, divisive, ready to do anything to secure the nomination, if she get it, many people will stay at home including myself.

Obama supports Bushes NCLB which is used to punish public school teachers and fund private schools. This alone makes him stupid.

This stinks of OBAMA SMEAR TACTICS. Obama/Axelrod the Good Guy Bad Guy Team are at it again. They are placing stories claiming Hillary is more Negative, when it seemed clear Obama is running a more NEGATIVE campaign than anyone. This looks like the typical Obama game. Start a fire, cry fire. he thinks he's so sly like a fox, but his underhanded viciousness has become transparent.
Many think he did for a Home Run
1) Smear and Blame Hillary (with no substantiation)
2) Wink/Wink to Black Muslims and traditional Muslims
3) Leak the Photo before it Turns Up Else where
4) Photo Op -- It was a slow News week and Obama's turban Photo Showed up Everywhere.
Obama is overwhelming supported by Black Muslims and Farrakhna is the head of their Church and close to Rev Wright.
Muslims in the Middle East are Campaigning for Him
Muslim Voters in the USA are Campaigning for Him
Home Run Obama!
This issue of the security breach looks like more of the same. I'm certain Obama did this just to smear Hillary and get news. He's trying to get the focus off his NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING so he's painting a picture that Hilary is doing something. I guarantee you that Obama would never let this happen, what he would do, and clearly is doing is setting Hillary up for a smaer, yet again.
Posted by: Steve | April 23, 2008 1:20 AM
What I was refering to above is Obama leaked his own Turban photo to SMEAR HILLARY and this security breech stinks of more of the same.

This sounds like a C. Rove dirty trick. Maybe even a plant by him or an other Repug. operative in the Clinton campaign. Watch out for the dirty tricks team.
Posted by: Nextup | April 23, 2008 1:33 AM
First of all, the person who commented about the educational feats of Obama supporters, must not watch the news or read. Obama has the educated and professional votes. Hillary has the votes of people who are afraid of change, they remember good times with Bill Clinton and forget (if they ever knew) the terrible things he did. It is safer for them to vote the Clintons back in, because they can keep their heads in the sand then.
The person who posted the long comment about "Letting Go of Fear," which is a book everyone should read, certainly spoke the complete truth, and this truth will certainly set you free. Thank you for your comment. The world needs more people reading good stuff. I know Obama gets it, and hope everyone in the country could get it. There was or is a movement called a Course in Miracles (also a book by Marianne Williamson I believe.
Senator Obama, I feel in my soul, truly wants everyone to be rid of fear and oppression and all negativity. Let's help him get to a position where he can help all of us.
Posted by: mary | April 23, 2008 1:41 AM
Will people ever shut their eyes and think, why are the positions of these two candidates so frighteningly alike?
Shouldn't they be more different? Judging from the vitriol here, you'd think they were. Or maybe that's the thing.
The best Democratic candidate is gone. John Edwards was the only one of the three who planned to get the troops - all of them - out of Iraq, NOW; no permanent bases; the only one who was serious about fighting poverty, corporate greed, lobbyists infiltrating government, and taxes on the true middle class and working class. Only Edwards proposed a true single-payer health insurance plan for everybody, and only he apologized straight out for voting for a war of aggression.
Do the math, do your homework: race and gender guarantee nothing, least of all integrity. Which is as it should be, except for media manipulation and lazy thinkers.

A simple question for you.
Let's say you have a start-up company and are looking for a manager. Are you going to hire a person that has 8 years of management experience or are you going the hire the person who has 8 years of experience being the housewife of the manager?
Judging by your views you're the idiot.
However I am not too worried because I have left America 2 years ago exactly for that reason. Too many idiots that voted for Bush (twice!!!) running around.
It is you who should be worried, because if Clinton wins the primary be sure that McCain will win in the fall and you'll have another 4 years of an idiot that doesn't understand the economy, social reform, public policy, etc. etc.
So go ahead make your choice, but don't be bitter after the elections!

Questioning Clinton's economic policy:
If she can't manage the finances of her own campaign, being in debt for the 3rd straight month, how does she expect me to believe that she'll manage the American economy which is much more complicated and in worse shape?
Could someone answer this?
Posted by: Johnny | April 23, 2008 3:49 AM
Some time ago, I came to realize that there was a vulnerability in the Obama campaign.
Senator Obama was (I noted) upbeat, hopeful, inspirational and given to a solutions-side approach to governance that fairly doomed his candidacy.
He was, too, a good person, and intelligent - two nearly fatal flaws in politics and the harbinger of the worst sort of public fates . . .
The modern form of political brutality.
Character assassination.
An "electronic lynching."
A media "death by a thousand cuts" that is easier to execute in this age than in any other. For the ignorant have no ears for the truth.
Only a whisper is required.
Perhaps an association - close or distant, even removed by several personal layers.
A word out of place.
Innuendo.
Assumptions.
Spin.
Distortion.
Better still, all of these in a terrific montage - broadcast, blogged/RSS'd, YouTubed, and finally "legitimized" via one or two "mainstream media" voices.
You see . . .
TAR STICKS . . .
And an attack - however spurious - will always work . . .
While the truth might take days, weeks or months to convey . . .
And stupidity has always been amenable to the simplicity of the oft-repeated lie or distortion.
Of course, such means that good people - those uninterested in the Rovian game that has turned politics into a blood sport of attrition - will cease running, replaced forever by super-rich machines, disgusting beasts that the bread-and-circuses-crazed public shall cherish, if only for their facility with a stiletto.
Such, too, will be horrible for our country. For, it will mean that lobbyists must reign supreme while We the People fade into obscurity, surrendering our rights and liberties by degrees while the real "elites" grow ever fatter on our ceaseless (and unrewarded) labors.
Of course, by that time we will hardly know our own country. We will no longer even recognize our founding documents. And people of good will shall scatter to distant lands in search of some new noble experiment in self-government.
We will realize too late that a nation of illiterates that vote via the pronouncements of a corrupt few oracles - seeking in particular the most salacious and spectacular innuendos as a means of judging the merits of people and ideas - will pass quickly through the stages of a society's collapse.
Rome, Greece, Persia, the Ottomans and Incas and Cretans and Egyptians . . .
Like them, we have grown morally and intellectually flabby.
The "scandals" surrounding Senator Obama are but a symptom of a cancer that has invaded and apparently overcome our body politic.
Some of us see it. Most of us don't.
We shall all suffer for it.
For it is the enemy of our republic.
The easy exploitation of ignorance by demagoguery.
God bless America!

Obama lacks credibility amongst leary voters. He has no track record and has been rather two faced on important issues. I suspect more people are less fooled by the dimples and stage poses.
Posted by: hhkeller | April 23, 2008 7:41 AM
Rev. "Bigmouth" Wtight's bitter racial hatred came back to haunt the Obama campaign in Pennsylvania. The dummy even went so far as to blame the his video "popularity" on FOX news. Obama spent 3 times the money on a media campaign and still lost. I wonder if he realizes that Rupert Murdock owns the largest video and print media companies in the world. Murdock also owns FOX news. They are tugging on Superman's cape.

What experience, she was a first lady! Her husband was President. Are you voting for Hillary or Bill, or King & Queen, President Hillary and First Lady Bill? That's so cute, Billary for President in 08.
Posted by: demsinthedumps | April 23, 2008 8:58 AM
When Bill Clinton was President, gas was 99 cents a gallon, the dollar was stronger than a the euro, and we had a huge budget surplus. The 2000 campaign issue was "how do we spend this surplus?"
If you think it would be bad for that crew to be back in charge, you *might* be an idiot? Yea , I can agree with that.
Obama's record shows he is friends with an unrepentant domestic terrorist. He calls him "an English professor". That's not leadership. Obama sat in a radical left wing church for 20 years but he thinks "people who cling to religion" do so out of "bitterness". So either he never believed religion and has gotten involved in that church only for political reasons, or else he is a "bitter clinger" himself.
Hillary is the only hope for our country. She is a true fighter who never gives up!!!!
Posted by: President Hillary Clinton | April 23, 2008 9:32 AM
You are an idiot if:
You're naive enough to believe Hillary is going to make good on any of the promises she's made in this campaign...
Just like in th 90's (when the passed NAFTA) the Clinton's are a governemtn of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations... I just feel bad for all th "working class" people willing to bend over and take it from Hill and Bill...

What a bunch of illiterate people. The only 35 years of experience Hillary has is in how she has become the master of frauding the american people. The Clinton's are the biggest crooks since Nixon. To actually think that they will create more jobs for PA and the rest of the country is being delusional. There's a reason why PENN, and slick WILLY CLINTON have been making trips to Columbia you morons. Think about it! Bill Clinton, I refuse to call him Pres. b/c he's not...(he shamed us by being IMPEACHED...doesn't that matter to you?)has made more money from speeches in foreign countries than in our own country. He's making deals to outsource your jobs...it's what he does best. Remember NAFTA??? And if you think Hillary doesn't know what the hell her husband is doing, you're fooling yourselves and being downright stupid! With slick Willy's history of being a sexual deviate don't you think she'd be watching him like a hawk?? Come on!!

Some so called analysts are predicting that the Dem party will lose the support of the black voters completely if the nomination is stolen from Obama. They are damn right. What they did not say however is the fact there is equal number of people or more who are not black and yet will be totally furious enough to boycott the November election altogether. A lot of my fellow supporters are talking about voting for the Green party candiate.

SHE WILL QUICKLY FORGET ABOUT PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HER IN THIS CAMPAIGN JUST THE SAME WAY SHE FORGOT PEOPLE OF BOSNIA, THEY HAD WORKED SOOO HARD TO MAKE HER TRIP COMFORTABLE BUT WHAT SHE DID TO THANK THEM WAS TO MAKE UP A FAT LIE ABOUT HER TRIP TO BOSNIA. DO I WANT A PRESIDENT WHO IS SUCH A LIER? DO I WANT TO HEAR AGAIN... I DID NOT SLEEP WITH THAT WOMAN... IN WHITE HOUSE? NO I DON,T. THESE TWO BIG LIERS DESERVE THEMSELF THEY DON,T DESERVE TO GO BACK TO WHITE HOUSE,THEY DON,T DESERVE OUR VOTES EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM IS LIES AFTER,LIES,WITHOUT END. ENOUGH OF IT. IT,S TIME FOR US TO HAVE FRESH PRESIDENT WHO TRULY CARE ABOUT AMERICAN PEOPLE. THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT SEN. BARACK OBAMA HE CARES DEEPLY ABOUT EVERYONE. THANK YOU SEN. OBAMA FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONNE AND STILL TRYING TO DO. I HOPE THAT MORE PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTANT WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR ALL OF US AND THANK YOU SOMEDAY IN FUTURE THE SAME WAY I THANK YOU TODAY. BEST OF LUCK IN TRYING TO MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I KNOW THAT WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IS NOT EASY AT ALL.

I'm not a computer whiz, just a blogger and a Clinton fan. During the week of Mar 9th, I was checking out the above commented upon, never ending public misleading topic of the Peter Paul trial. The trail, as it always, does led back to WorldNetDaily. In case no one knows, this site has not escaped the radar of the Southern Poverty Law Center. I was astonished, therefore, that The Obama campaign had chosen to run the WND story without other sources in their blog center. I didn't think it was my job to watch out for them, but I left blogs at various locations discussing this conundrum, Rocky Mountain news, SFGate, Topix, etc., thinking someone over there would figure it out. Instead I got blogs back saying the Obama campaign website had no control over attached blogs. As of April 14th, when I last checked, it was still attached. So WTF! Why is this a Clinton problem? What is website control?

It is time for everyone, the networks, all media, the Clinton supporters, the Republicans, the men and women of churches,those who are gay and those who are spiritual without a religious faith,the supporters especially of Senator Barack Obama---and many more throughout the world who care about Senator Barack Obama must PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AS A HUMAN BEING and let him have a chance to give his full time to this campaign like the other candidates!!!!! Whoever, is behind pushing Wright at him constantly is his enemy---it is because the power's behind all of this Wright issue uses it because they feel threatened!! Senator Obama is SO GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY!The attacks are about POWER and MONEY and maybe they even paid off Wright.Obama has a good heart --America and the world needs him.He is honest and is not associated with Bush. Obama,YES WE CAN--it's good over evil!!

This thing with rev.Right is just a distraction.We know how much we need someone like Sen. obama in white house.
He is a very good humain being,he seems to honnesly care about all of(us)American people. Sen Obama has soo much to offer obviously the old old politions don,t want to let go the power the have had over us for years and years. now it,s time for us to stand for what we believe in, It,s time for us to stand beyond Sen. obama get him in white house. this is the only way we can get connected to our government.

Anyone who has the nerve to claim that Hillary was brave or "fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people" is completely wrong.
She failed miserably at her bid for universal health care for one reason and one reason alone. She took a small group of loyalist senators and hammered out a plan without consulting the great majority of people who would actually end up voting on the bill. When finding out they had been left in the dark, they were angry, and they voted against her.
Hillary Clinton showed a tremendous lack of understanding of the way the legislative process works then, and I can guarantee she hasn't learned anything since then.
