I'll write Obama's name in. I'll vote for some obscure third party candidate. I'll vote for McCain if I have to, but no way does a Democrat get to act like Karl Rove and get rewarded with my vote.
I think that is her strategy, by the way. She feels she can backhand a good majority of the electorate now, and we will come back to her in November because we feel she is the "only choice".
NOT. ME.
"Yes, we can" speaks to someone having the ABILITY to do something, but it doesn't say that they can actually do it.
"Yes, we will" says that there's no question that a goal will be reached, or a mission accomplished.
It's dumb to steal the slogan, but I kinda see why she did.
Hillary has stolen lines from various people...she's the greatest hyprocrite of all time. And its funny how she always talks about outsourcing jobs when it was her own husband who did it. Whether she supported it or not, much of what she is running on is her husbands legacy and that is a part of her husband's legacy.
She is truly desperate at this point. This is just another act of desperation. We should all play it no mind. Its just another way to distract us from her sinking ship.
P.S. Everytime I see a Clinton rally, there is somebody with their sign upside down, it keeps happening. It isn't a serious issue but it bothers me. It happens all of the time.
"I don't understand how a candidate can become everything she states she despises in an effort to win."

It's called being corrupted by power. It's called the means justify the ends. It's called self-absorption.
Shall I go on?
One of the object lessons that we should draw from this incident is that so-called liberals like Hillary and Bill Clinton have use for black people only insofar as we can serve to assist them in fulfilling their own goals. As far as they are concerned, African Americans can have no independent organizations, movements or thinking that is not tied to promoting their needs. Their desires and wishes are paramount and our collective task is to continually place ourselves at their disposal.
We are, in their view, simply a "fertile field for exploitation", as Ralph Ellison wrote. Although Obama is not running for the president of Black America, it is important that we recognize that his candidacy represents a rare opportunity to create a new political consensus within the black electorate. Obama's campaign has shown, for example, that young blacks who are thinking about running for office do not need to kowtow to the usual coterie of gatekeepers both within and outside of our community.
Maybe he won't.
But if he prevails in spite of her own campaign's flatout nastiness, then she will have set to stage for him to prove that he can.
She's too blinded to see it.
I wasn't ever going to vote for her presidential campaign.
Not ever.
She's too blinded to even know that her audience didn't come to see her perform theatrical satire about Obama's rallies, they came to see her.
Desperate people do stupid things.
Not me. I won't vote for her. I touched on it over at my blog.

On seeing this I was schoked then livid and then I wondered, is she self-sabotaging? Does she see some way of saving face in being able to claim later that her strategy failed her, her staff was ineffective...rather than acknowledging that she was beaten fair and square?
But then I come to my senses and the cold realization that this is Hakim's (sp?) razor in action: the simpliest explaination tends to be the correct one. So yes Virginia, these people really DO think we are all that damn stupid. Damn.
Yes we will turn the page on your race-baiting politics of division.
Yes we will vote against your lazy, unoriginal, hypocritical, shameless, tired ass".

ahahahahahahaha
Say it! You're so right. Her lazy thieving @ss can't even come up with her own d%mn campaign slogan & have the audacity to slam Obama when she's doing the same thing. How sorry is that!
Drop out of the race Hillary! You can't even manage your own campaign, you loser. You f'd up all that money!
Well, according to the following article she did support it:
Unions Press Clinton on Outsourcing Of U.S. Jobs
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/07/AR2007090702780.html
Why hasn't Obama called her out on this???
You caught Obama using the words of another close friend, The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) who HAVE ENDORSED BARACK OBAMA...just like he has shared ideas with Deval Patrick WHO HAS ENDORSED BARACK OBAMA...
So anon, you won't have to worry about any copyright infringement suits from either of these friendly parties...U can just chill...till the next episode.
Stump speeches are not dissertations where every source must be cited parenthetically...stump speeches are stump speeches.
But yet the people keep voting for him! Imagine that!
To the White House, Barack & Family goes!
Woo Hoo!
If Obama gets the nomination, the Clintons will sabotage him right up through the actual election. Mark it down. If they can't have the nomination and presidency, nobody will -- party be damned.

Hillary Clinton may break the class ceiling for herself but she will not be breaking it for us.
Its a no issue. It was pretty entertaining. It was obvious that he was not taking her seriously with the whole plagarism thing. I actually think that it was pretty embarassing for the Clinton campaign.
