I can go on all day about this false notion that The Clinton's have been the faux black first family. They have and never will be truly about making life better for the average black American citizen. Unless you are black and in the top grossing percentile of our country they have little concern for your well being. It's about money and power. Always has been with them and always will be.

By the by, is it funny to anyone else when politicians say something nasty about their opponent and in the same breath say "Let's stay focused on the 'issues'"? Damn that's funny...-_-

Obama has SO much to use on the issues, it's just kind of unfortunate that he's not hitting back on her right-wing, Republican-lite votes. Ignore some of Edwards' criticisms for the time being and just focus on Clinton. I have some ideas I think are great...

1) Call Sen. Clinton "Washington" or "DC" or "The two-term senator from New York" from time to time. It's a bit of a Freudian slip you could say.

2) Have an ad showing Hillary in 1992 when her husband ran on change and in 2002 when she voted for the war in Iraq and have the message say something to the effect of "With all your time in DC, have you changed Washington, or has Washington changed you?"

3) Ads where Hillary is talking at the YearlyKos convention in Chicago, and she tells the audience that she accepts lobbyist money. Then, freeze frame, drain the color, and rotate and zoom in on Hillary's face. Push the face to one side of the screen while slowly rolling a list of defense company donors to Hillary's campaign. Say something like "It's clear Sen. Clinton doesn't have problems with getting money from lobbyists, will she have problems saying no to them?"

4) Vote in favor of the filibuster this coming week over the FISA bill. It's a step toward winning liberals back and getting the debate over who's more progressive back on your terms.

5) Speak of the transformative power of hope and contrast it with Hillary's campaign tactics, call them a good representation of the "politics of fear" or the "Scorched Earth strategy" or "baiting politics", etc. Just make sure your politics are shown positively against her negative politics consistently.

I really wish Obama had the opportunity to take some of the comments I give him (I try to contact the campaign, but they rarely are able to answer) to heart, cause they're good.

Funny thing about slinging mud.

Some of it gets on you in addition to whom you were trying to fling it on.

I bet she tap danced better than the Nicholas brothers when confronted with her and Bill's own ties to Rezko, after basically accusing Obama of working for a "slum lord".

They probably had the whole 92 and '96 elections financed by the same "slum lord".

I NOTICED THAT TOO! all the footage of her i have seen for the last 3 days, she's been wearing that ultra-flattering jacket...she's got her own jet, right? so it's not like her luggage got lost.

Is it just me, or has she been wearing that same yellow dress for a week now? I hope she's changing her underwear at least...
