Re: The Red Phone Ad, I think Bill Clinton said it best...

"Now, one of Clinton's laws of politics is this. If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other one is try get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope."
-Bill Clinton, 2004

This ad is the epitome of hypocrisy. It is so detrimental to the party as a whole, it absolutely infuriates me.

John McCain!!! Don't forget that. Is there any wonder she has embraces the politics of fear?

(I'm paraphrasing from memory)

Bill Clinton referring to GHW Bush in an interview just before the 1992 election:

"You know what gets me the most? The way they cruelly mock us for having foresight. 'The vision thing.' "



(I apologize if I got the wording wrong. I can't find a link to the transcript on the internets.)

:rofl:

and how badly Hillary's campaign has been run. I look forward to the books that will come out from aides blaming each other if she does lose.

Jon Stewart should play the ad and then get the reaction of "2004 Bill Clinton".

:rofl:

She's delusional if she thinks Americans believe she's better to answer the red phone than Obama.

that Clinton's thoughts and hopes don't extend beyond his political ego.

see in the ad would be obama as the damn president.

I guess the earlier posts saying this ad was racist saying it was to protect the white kids from the black man....I guess that did not float so now it is FEAR.....

The ad just asks the simple question WHO? I say HRC and not the Bush LIKE (not lite) Obama....

and you have morons out there cheering obama's comeback on this like he does not give a damn about the soldiers over in iraq just as long as he can say I gave a speech in 02 that I was against this war..and Senator Clinton's judgement was wrong from the start..on and on and on....obama needs to wake his ass up and deal with the real world and tell us something we do not know.......

I don't listen to people who use "obamabots".

I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approved this message.

"This is a classic, fear-stirring incumbent's ad ..." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/29/AR2008022903334.html

Way to go, Prez Clinton. :patriot:

The Obama campaign should definitely use this.

Thanks, HOTR
