No doubt Obama will make a comment that will rise above the fray

[rurallib]

He has a true talent to put out fires. This will probably allow Obama another 'statesman' moment that will again turn this into a positive for him.
And I will be inspired yet again by him.

[cliffordu]

1. Yep - He will be MUCH more magnanimous than I would be.

[Tellurian]

2. You mean the embarrassing comments from his supporters..

Probably- I'm sure he is ashamed of their behavior..

[havocmom]

6. Hillary should have her ass in an interrogation room over this one

There is NO excusing this crap. We are behaving responsibly by rejecting her tactics, words, insinuation and anybody who thinks she didn't behave inexcusably.

Lots of her supporters are now FORMER supporters. The ranks are shrinking. She has lost the primary, her credibility, future in politics, and possibly her mind.

[Jazzgirl]

22. Gee....I wonder who this is???

This is someone on my ignore list.......

[havocmom]

27. Oh, ouch

NOT :rofl:

[LakeSamish706]

8. No, actually we are ashamed of your candidate and wonder why people are still....

supporting her.

[99th_Monkey]

11. Possibly, but not nearly as ashamed as HIllary supporters should be for her detestable remarks.

Certainly appears that Clinton supporters seem to not know the meaning of the word shame... but are
willing to presume to know about Obama's "shame" regarding his ardent supporters. How curious.

[sniffa]

12. Coming from you, that's fucking hilarious

:rofl:

[rurallib]

13. No. I think his supporters are reacting in the same way most

supporters of any candidate would given the circumstance.

Most politicians are not adept at taking a situation and turning it into a positive. Usually they fan the flames. Obama has shown over the past years that he can take a situation and turn it to good.
Flame away if you want. I was not an Obama supporter until recently and am probably more aloof from battle than most. But he does have a talent. And a talent like that would serve the country well.

[Stephanie]

3. Yes - when is that commencement address?

I think that would be a really perfect time for him to put this in the right perspective for us.

[polichick]

4. David Axelrod has already given her the benefit of the doubt...

I hope they're just playing politics and aren't really fooled.

[Spazito]

14. They are taking the high road and rightly so...

The comments, recently and in the past re Robert Kennedy/assassination, made by Senator Clinton, need no explanation, they are appalling on their own terms. The Obama campaign will not "pile on", they will continue with their focus on McCain.

[StevieM]

19. They aren't fooled--they know this is a despicable smear of Hillary. And they are doing what is

best for them. Originally, his spokesman had sharp words. This moment highlights the evil of this campaign against Hillary. It has been an absolute lynching.

Steve

[polichick]

21. A smear of Hillary?!?! LOL

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

25. Upside-down world.

[polichick]

26. Great pic!

[LakeSamish706]

5. You can bet on it... David Axelrod was on Tweety and he was excellent...

refusing to get down into the dirt... Tweety was pressing him on a question, and Axelrod laughed and said he had not been to "Happy Hour" yet. lol

[LucyParsons]

7. maybe he should give a speech about RFK

and implicitly contrast RFK to HRC. That I'd like to hear.

[marylanddem]

9. I hope he stays quiet on this one. She has fucked up royally

so please, PLEASE, no more comments about what a great fighter/etc she is. Let this candidacy die, don't acknowledge her anymore.

[alwysdrunk]

10. He shouldn't say anything.

Not a damn thing except for "unfortunate" and next question. He doesn't have to say anything. The media and the blogosphere will say everything there is to say. Then the superdelagates will follow with the ending of the race.

[monmouth]

15. I agree. He should say nothing that might help her out of his pile of s$*t she's

gotten herself into. Stay classy, stay quiet...Gobama...

[Writer]

16. Has anyone considered that we might be reading from a different page than the insiders?

I dunno. Maybe we ought to let the campaigns work it out between themselves; the pundits and dozens of armchair politicians on the Internet be damned.

[sfam]

17. Obama: "Hillary didn't mean it...as far as I know..."

I know he won't take that bait, but gosh it would be poetic justice...

[StevieM]

20. There is no bait to take--you're lying both about this and about the 60 minutes interview (eom)

[StevieM]

18. Obama's spokeseman inititally attacked. Then they backed off when they realized that there was

no reason. Obama was worried about a backlash. If he went on the offensive it looked manipulative. Besides, the media will do his work for him.

I have never hated Barack Obama as much as I do today. And I will never vote for him.

Steve

[polichick]

23. He didn't attack - just said it was unfortunate and had no place...

...in the campaign. You're as delusional as your candidate!

[oasis]

24. Yup, like he did with Bill Clinton's "fairy tale" comment.

:sarcasm:
