Statement from Bob Johnson on His Comments Today in South Carolina

[William769]

Press relaease.

"My comments today were referring to Barack Obama's time spent as a community organizer, and nothing else. Any other suggestion is simply irresponsible and incorrect.

"When Hillary Clinton was in her twenties she worked to provide protections for abused and battered children and helped ensure that children with disabilities could attend public school.

That results oriented leadership -- even as a young person -- is the reason I am supporting Hillary Clinton."

1. Backtracking begins...TOO LATE

It is out there...he needs to be dismissed.

[Konza]

2. So Obama shouldn't have been a community organizer?

Man, this campaign is getting downright laughable.
Mr. Johnson, we're not stupid.
You were referencing Obama's past drug use. You don't have the balls to say it outright, so you used innuendo, and when you got busted you are now trying to deny it.

But people aren't stupid and people will remember.

3. Weak - it's pretty obvious what he was talking about

4. holy moly

now that's fucking hilarious in a pathetic kind of way. Since when is being a community organizer such a dastardly thing that it can't even be mentioned by decent people. What a liar. He got his message out there and now he's spreading it even further with this slimy denial. Sad tactics to see, and part of a pattern. Do these surrogates have a script?

5. Bob Johnson got caught lying

that douche was referencing Obama's usage of drugs and anyone with a brain knows that.

BTW- Community organizer is bad thing? WTF is the Clinton's campaign doing?

8. Hillary passed on a community organizing job offered by Saul Alinsky,

right out of college. Even in her 20's she was too establishment for work like that. Maybe she does think its a bad thing.

6. what a stupid lie. nm

[peoli]

7. The only way to cover shit is to put more shit on top of it

[hayu_lol]

9. Sounds to me like Hillary had a quiet chat backstage after the event...

otherwise, I can't see the head of an organization adjusting his statement.

Do any of you suppose otherwise.

Now, I hope that the candidates will all exercise better control who speak for them.

Obama has suffered fools on his staff.

Edwards has suffered fools on his staff.

Hillary has suffered fools on her staff.

What else under the sun is new?
