How many of you believe the fantasy that Obama doesn't attack Hillary and it's just Hillary who attacks

I keep seeing claims that poor Obama has been subjected to constant attacks by Hillary but he doesn't take part in that kind of politics.

Who actually believes this?

It was Obama's camp that twisted those two comments in NH from Bill and Hillary into racist statements when they clearly weren't. It was Obama's camp that released a memo calling Hillary "Punjab Hillary" because of her support from the Indian American community. It was Obama's campaign advisor who actually tried to connect Hillary to Bhutto's assassination. Why do so many people have to believe this guy is hands clean to support him. He promised clean politics, but hasn't stuck to that promise. I'm NOT saying Hillary is any better, but he is hardly innocent of the same charges. Just interested in reality.

PD:
This is part of what I'm talking about.

Prove it. It is NOT a "known fact" that she had that photo released. Drudge claimed her camp did it, but could produce NO proof at all. Imagine that. Even Obama has said he has come to the conclusion that Hillary had nothing to do with this.

Obama knows, and most folks not hynotized by Obama fever, realize that is typical Republican smear tactics. But too many of his supporters still want to believe it, even when HE said he knows she didn't do it. Amazing.

"it's just like you?" WTH is that supposed to mean. Another Obama fan using personal attacks, what a surprise.
Listen, your opinion about this stuff is not exactly taking the wind out of my sails. I didn't get my opinion from these three articles. I just looked them up for references to what I was talking about. My opinion is formed from actually paying attention to what many different sources reported at the time. You have your own misinformation going on for you, in which nothing but opinion is offered. Like NAFTA for instance. She came out as for it while First Lady, of course, have u known a First Lady to come out against a program their husband was championing. Yet in Bernstein's even handed bio of her, he states that privately she had grave reservations about it, as several reliable sources told him. Now she holds the same stance as Obama. And he knew it, yet didn't care.

Mr. Hands Clean is no saint. My opinion of him was lowered greatly after that ridiculous spectacle his people made out of those NH comments by Hillary and Bill. He knew very well they weren't racist, but he was content to let others believe it, because he knew it could change the support of black voters for the Clintons - and he was right, it did. Ever since he has been coddled and butt kissed by the media while they land on everything Hillary says as an "attack." His own nastiness has been obviously ignored. At least we know who Hillary is, the good and the bad. With Obama, we're getting a man who is buying into his Obama the Messiah thing a little too much. His arrogance has been ridiculous lately. I always planned to vote for him if Hillary didn't get the nod. But lately, I'm starting to get inklings of the real man under the mask and it isn't pretty.

I'm sure not buying it at all. Obama is handed with silk gloves now by Republicans and the corporate media. Once he has the nomination they will not be so kind . They act like Hillary should campaign for him and give him the nomination. Everything else she does or tries to do is put in the worst light.

It is noteworthy that leading lights of the Republican right have joined in the praise for Obama. The editorialists of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times’ Republican columnist David Brooks and such conservative media pundits as Peggy Noonan, William Bennett and Rush Limbaugh have all had good things to say about him.

On the Republican side, the promotion of Obama is motivated in part by calculations that he will be easier to defeat in the general election than Clinton. No one should doubt that the Republican notables who are currently hailing the rise of an African-American candidate as a vindication of American democracy are prepared to conduct an unofficial campaign of virulent racism against him, especially in the South, should he win the Democratic nomination.

Given his big business ties, Obama’s campaign rhetoric about confronting poverty and social inequality involve a level of cynicism and demagogy that is truly staggering. His incessant promises of change are not tied to any radical economic program that fundamentally challenges the profit interests of the giant corporations and Wall Street.

I have to agree and that's what bothers me most too. He's running as Mister Clean but his record and actions don't measure up. Hillary is Hillary, we don't worship her but we know her including negative sides

The media makes it worst. I'm disgusted with their coverage of the election. I'm disappointed in MSNBC and some of the other reputable stations that can be counted on to be fair.
Starting in 2000 with GW the media has gotten progressively worse with the way the report things and what they focus on. It shouldn't even be called news it should just be opinion and conjecture because it is all slanted.
Hillary, unfortunately has been Al Gore and John Kerry this time around and if Obama does get the nomination. OMG, watch out.

Because of his race, Obama has had a free ride, critizing, lying and attacking Hillary. It amazes me that someone that was once dubbed "the 1st black president" could be accused of being a racist. This is something that the media has created, and the Obama camp has used as ammunitation against Hillary. She does not have a racist bone is her body.

I agree with you 100%. There has been this illusion put out by his campaign that he can do no wrong. And it seems that Obama supporters answer any criticism of him with criticism of Hillary, as if they don't know enough about him to actually defend him with his own accomplishments.

That is just the Republican media stirring up the poo pile. You are aware that in all the open primary States the Republicans and Libertarian (Republicans) are jumping over casting votes for Obama to beat Hillary Clinton.....In the General Election you also know they will vote a straight Republican ticket no matter who is on the ticket.....even John McCain. NEOCONservatives will do anything to have their own way..lie, cheat, con, steal.....just about anything the 10 commandments say is a sin they will do without any remorse.
