Hillary Video: Uses Her Soft Voice to call Obama Candidacy "Dangerous Oversimplification" CBN Today
http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/328032.aspx (video)

Says Barack's Candidacy is based mostly on Personality and Presentation. "There is a certain phenomenon associated with his candidacy and I am really struck by that, because it is very much about him.."

"I think it dangerously oversimplifies the complexities of the problems we face, the challenge of navigating our country through some difficult uncharted waters. We are a nation at war. That seems to be forgotten."

"What is it people are really hanging onto when they cast their votes?"

The full video should be up soon.

15. Yep, she is playing that Terra card again
She did it earlier when she challenged Edwards and Obama on their qualifications to be commander-in-chief, right after shedding a few tears at a New Hampshire diner.

4. Brody: My Thoughts on the Interview with Hillary
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 11:20 AM by K Gardner
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/327822.aspx

The interview was supposed to go 15 minutes or so. It went 25. She just kept talking and I just kept asking. Obviously the Clinton camp saw this as an opportunity to talk about her faith and humanize her to a certain degree. But I think they saw something else too. They know that The Brody File is all about fairness. We here at The Brody File have always talked about having a "right down the middle" attitude and it is here where newsmakers can come to explain their side of the story. I think this interview speaks to that.

As for what she said, I thought she opened up about the 'celebrity of Obama" quite a bit and was basically saying (without actually saying it) that he's mostly style and very little substance. I guess the "actions speak louder than words" line is as close as she came to saying that. But look, here's my impression. She's clearly frustrated with all this Obama hype. She's banking on voters coming to a common sense decision based on the experience she brings to the table.

I thought her comments about her faith; her marriage and the 1990's were particularly insightful. Look, I don't pretend to be Barbara Walters. I wasn't going to ask her Walters's famous question, "If you were a tree, what kind would you be?" but she did offer some interesting thoughts about her tough road through the 90's. It's not often she goes down this road. She definitely feels misunderstood. The Obama campaign knows she's vulnerable to the "politics of the 90's" theme and have made sure to mention it as a regular part of his stump speech.

One final thought: on national security because we are a nation at war, I really got the sense she's very concerned about Obama leading that effort. She never said that and really can't because if Obama is the nominee, those comments would come back to haunt him, her and the party in the General Election. When I asked her if she was concerned about Obama leading the country in a very dangerous time she said this:

"Well I think it's up to the voters to determine how they judge this, but I think it's important that voters think hard. We have no margin for error. The velocity of problems that come at the president of the united states is not going to slowdown, it is, if anything going to accelerate because as we saw when Gordon Brown became prime minister after Tony Blair, there was an immediate attack, and thankfully they were unsuccessful, but we just can't assume that you have anytime to figure out what it is we need to do, and I think that I walk into the Oval Office ready to be commander-in-chief."

6. Have people forgotten how afraid they're supposed to be?
The only thing scary in this election is Hillary.

7. OMG.. she cited "immediate attack"/Gordon Brown again.. I just found that.. look
in the Brody Interview analysis above:

"We have no margin for error. The velocity of problems that come at the president of the united states is not going to slowdown, it is, if anything going to accelerate because as we saw when Gordon Brown became prime minister after Tony Blair, there was an immediate attack, and thankfully they were unsuccessful, but we just can't assume that you have anytime to figure out what it is we need to do, and I think that I walk into the Oval Office ready to be commander-in-chief."

And doesn't play as well in the Democratic party. She's tried all this stuff before and lost.

The bag must be pretty empty for her to whip out that tired trope again.

"Ok Hillary. I need you to call Obama an ignorant, foolish, stupid simpleton, and you also
need to refer to his millions of supporters as cultish, iPod-wielding freaks....but I need
you to use your indoor voice this time."

14. Tell me she didn't use the "I'm the only one that
can protect you from terrorist" line on a fellow Dem.

20. Yes.. but remember, its not the first time she used that line. Last time, it
went over like a lead balloon. Evidently, the Camp Clinton is dredging out all the lead balloons from the Pit of Desperation.

23. Hillary: "I am misunderstood. Once people get to know me, they ask for my
forgiveness." :wtf:

They also show a video of Barack "dancing" in Texas, immediately followed by a video of Al Quaeda terrorists with guns.

Unfortunately, it also shows the Three Faces of Hillary.

Hillary: "The politics of Hope is Hoping no one will notice."

Overall, not really a good sale for Hillary.

she warns of a US attack if the wrong person is elected.
