Hillary "glad he gave" speech

[loveangelc]

Clinton, speaking at Philadelphia City Hall, began by preempting questions about Obama's speech:

"I did not have a chance to see or to read yet Sen. Obama’s speech, but I’m very glad that he gave it. It’s an important topic," she said. "Issues of race and gender in America have been complicated throughout our history, and they have been complicated in this primary campaign. There have been detours and pitfalls along the way."

She continued that the fact that the Democratic Party is set to nominate an African-American or a woman is something Americans "should celebrate."

Then she turned back to why Democrats should choose her.

"The opportunity for America will be in choosing a president who will best solve the big challenges our country faces," she said.

Also, she took a little dig at speeches, in general. What matters, she said, isn't the quality of the speeches:

"It's whether the president delivers on the speeches."

1. lets not forget that her biggest "action" was big fat failure

I.E. the IWR vote.

[Life Long Dem]

15. Can you picture her and McCain in the GE?

McCain wouldn't get any opposition from Hillary because she is on the same team as McCain. Hillary - I'm against the waaa wha wha... But Hill you voted for the war.

16. Yeah, she didn't read the NIE either

Same stuff, different day.

2. Seems it made him feel better

and his campaign headquarters who are posting all over this web site. When you don't agree they insult and use bad language.

Don't we have other issues more important?

What about giving a speech on impeaching this insane President and his VP? No bravery there with the candidates are there?

8. i have been wondering about stuff like that... have any IP addy traces been done ever

just curious if campaign people have ever been outed... imo, campaign staffers posting on here for propoganda purposes is wrong, no matter the campaign...

9. did you think other issues were more important when all anyone was talking about was Wright?

now that Obama made this great speech and everyone is calling it 'historic', it is now Dont we have something else to talk about.

3. she was reading the entire time n/t

6. Guess Howard Dean wrote that.

[polichick]

4. Too bad she can never comment without inserting bitterness...

It only exemplifies the difference between them.

[Johnny__Motown]

5. This all seems fair to me.. what else could she do?

[ronnykmarshall]

7. There's nothing she can say

or not say.

Yet still it's going to pissed on regardless.

[Texas Hill Country]

12. Nope, but I did notice the added "gender" comment. nice move.

[scheming daemons]

10. Wanna bet that she DID hear it?

Or at least read the text?

[Alter Ego]

11. How sad, Hillary...you couldn't resist taking a jab at your fellow Democrat, even this once.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

20. It's just not in her nature. Disappointing, but not surprising.

[Diane R]

13. I wish there were something like a negative recommend. Clinton's dig at speeches was tacky.

[Bread and Circus]

14. A few things on this....

1.) Hillary seems to the master of the "incredible small minded comments."

2.) A swipe like this: "It's whether the president delivers on the speeches" is just petty and further reflects her smallness.

3.) Finally and most importantly I want to repond to this: "The opportunity for America will be in choosing a president who will best solve the big challenges our country faces."

Guess what Hillary, 80% of the primaries are done and they have chosen. It's not you.

[GoldieAZ49]

17. She didn't let it take her off message like it has Obama and his campaign

acknowledge it and keep on going. It is Obama's problem not hers.

She did the right thing.


Some would probably prefer she cry and then faint.

[ronnykmarshall]

18. The vapors, she should have gotten the vapors.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

19. Just shows once again Hillary's inability to unify & lead this nation. Obama's the only one who can.
