There is a wonderful actor who would be perfect playing the part of Sen. Fred Thomas. What is that guy's name?

When I was in kindergarten, I wanted to be a princess, but no one has ever held that up against me.

Seriously, there seems to be something spinning in the Clinton camp. First, Obama was criticized because his experience living in a foreign country when he was 10 didn't qualify him to be president. Now something he wrote in kindergarten is portrayed as being relevant. What he did as a child either does or does not matter, but Clinton is trying to have it both ways. She really is a witch. Heaven help this country if she ever becomes queen, I mean president.

This tears it. Digging up grade school and kindergarten essays just cost my vote for Hillary.

That's funny! I heard his teacher said she is certain that she remembers little Obama wrote in his essay that he wanted to be an Astronaut!

When will the MSM, the Pubs really look at the real record of Obama? He has a socialist pacifist outlook on many issues and is a populist in the Moveon manner. Are the Pubs afraid of Obama because he is a 'protected minority class'? If so, then the Dems should nominate him, can Hildabeast, and blunt the Pubs no matter who they nominate. Will the GOP nominee blast his Empty Suit as he would Her Highness, or will they wuss out as usual? I know Rudy will blast him but who knows if Mitt or Mike would. Oh well, Feb. 5 will settle all of this mess.

I heard Obama also ate paste in kindergarten.

The difference is that he isn't going around saying "others ate paste and I never did." He IS going around talking about others' "long-term ambitions" to be President as if he had none himself, when the facts are otherwise. Now, I would hardly hold "ambitions" in kindergarten or elementary school against anyone, since "every child in America can grow up to be President," but if he has in fact been talking regularly about an eventual run for President for decades, it is disingenuous of him to criticize others for having similar ambitions.

. . . Just as it is hypocritical of him to complain about Hillary and "lobbyists and PAC money" when his "independent" foundation accepts money from both which is then, in turn, donated to Democratic candidates/officeholders, particularly in early primary states. Obama is using lobbyist/PAC donations to curry favor with key Democrats in primary states. Even though his "separate" campaign doesn't accept donations from these sources, it is a distinction without much difference.

I actually admire Hillary for flatly stating that "lobbyists are people, too, who represent citizens." Of course they are. The sins of "lobbyists" have no effect if officeholders do not give them something in exchange for their money and favors. The problem isn't "lobbyists" - who represent citizens from every class, from AARP to the stockholders of Exxon-Mobil - at all, but faithless politicians.

You don't think Clinton had anything to do with the press release? Wow. From what I've heard, she's a control freak. I know running for President keeps you a little busy, but I can't imagine press releases, especially those attacking her opponent, being released without her approval. Though I haven't been involved in presidential races, I have been involved in gubernatorial ones, and nothing, NOTHING went out without the candidate's approval.

I believe that Hilary's increasingly negative campaigning is due to the fact that she is feeling threatened by the Obama's Campaign successes. Negativity and attacks are not the way to win votes.
