John Lewis Applauds as Hillary Attacks Obama As Slumlord Supporter in Inner City Chicago





Transcript of comments:

Hillary: You also talked about the Republicans having ideas over the last 10 to 15 years.
Obama: I didn't say they were good ones.

H: Well, you can read the context of it. It certainly came across...
O: Well, I didn't say they were good ones.

H: Well, it certainly... it certainly came across in the way it was presented as though the Republicans had been standing up against the conventional wisdom with their ideas. I'm just reacting to the fact, yes, they did have ideas, and they were bad ideas.

O: I agree with that.

Hillary: Bad for America... and I was fighting against those ideas when you were practicing law and representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner city Chicago

At how young our President looks there, seven years have been hard on him. He is still handsome , but looks years older. Hillary looks like she has aged 30 years from this video to present. This life in office is not easy for anyone.

Even my neighbor came bolting out her front door to ask me if I saw what a low blow Hillary threw out to Senator Sanders in the debate. Usually I have to temper my political views, but Sandra was fuming mad and I had to try to calm her down.

It's not much of a defense of such a hollow cheap shot to say, "this is just the beginning of the smear campaign that is going to be waged against Senator Sanders by HRC, the clown car of idiots still in contention for 'stuffed suit award' in tonight's debate, and more importantly all the Wall Street and wealthy oligarchs who stand to take a huge hit if Sanders moves into the White House next January." Brace yourself, because it's about to get really ugly!

I don't want Hillary to make an appointment to the Supreme Court. I feel a "Bill capitulation" coming on if she might ever win the White House. This is America's best chance to "turn this country around" and return to "we the people".

Not as bad as saying she took a 66,000 speaking fee from Goldman-Sachs as a bribe...also not true but the implication is there. Clinton only hurts herself when she smears her opponents. She should just stick to what she wants and intends to do rather than we must take baby steps???whatever that means. Both candidates need to emphasize their positions without attacking the other unless they are trying to make a distinction...but facts are not attacks so distinctions should only show the difference not angry condescending brow beating.

saying only her or McCain had the necessary experience to be president implying even McCain was better qualified to be president over Obama. I wish someone would play that video. I will vote for her is she wins primary but I do not trust her.

Nobody is perfect. Watching him clap as Hillary smears Obama should give us a clue about that.
