Obama: Hillary Is Like Bush

Posted by Parker V on May 5, 2008 under Elections | Be the First to Comment

Earlier,  Obama likened Clinton to President Bush for threatening to “totally obliterate” Iran if it attacks Israel as he tried to fend off her challenge ahead of two pivotal Democratic primaries.

Clinton, in turn, stood by both her comment on Iran and her tax proposal as she gave chase in Indiana and North Carolina to the front-runner for the nomination.

The competitors squabbled over the issues — one foreign, one domestic — from a short distance, first during separate appearances on Sunday news shows and then as they courted voters for Tuesday’s primaries.

“This is the final push,” Clinton told a cheering crowd of volunteer canvassers in Fort Wayne, emboldened by her Pennsylvania victory two weeks ago as well as polls that show her in a close race in Indiana and narrowing Obama’s lead in North Carolina.

A few hours later and a few miles away, Obama urged an audience of several thousand to vote for him. “I need help,” he said.

Slate popped out this fun little summary that is definitely worth watching even if you do not follow the news closely. It’s even more fun if you do, but also enjoyably educational if you didn’t.

No cackle. No victim card. And most noticeably by us at candidatesblog who have seen a LOT of Clinton interview video: when challenged, sometimes very brashly by O’Reilly, at NO time did she give her signature patronizing smile. You know, the one that says “oh youuuu. pickin on lil o me. silly thing. you’re just ridiculous hm?”. There was none of that. She took every challenge seriously and actually answered them all extremely well.

Paging Barry Obama….Obama?….O…?
