Clinton can easily "take back" her "only has a speech" comment

[Orangepeel]

republican ads will still show it, of course, but it wouldn't be hard to take back, should she be inclined.

She just has to say that she said that early in the campaign. Since then, she has spent months on the campaign trail during the primaries and saw first hand just was a solid grasp of foreign policy issues Obama has. She saw him go to the Afghanistan and Iraq and all over Europe and saw how world leaders respected him. She's had a chance to talk to him in depth about his plans for the future and she knows what a good president he'll make.

It seems simple to me.

1. She implied McCain is qualified and Obama is not MULTIPLE times. Not just once.

And they are all on video.

Cue the montage of her praising McCain for his 'lifetime of experience' and 'passing the commander in chief test' and we'll have weeks of fun MSM coverage of the GOP attack ads repeating those clips over and over.

4. im actually surprised they havent already turned that into an ad. nt

[David Zephyr]

6. Turn it over and play the hit side. It was the primaries.

George Herber W. Bush called Ronald Reagan's proposed economic plans "voodoo economics" and Reagan picked him and they won a landslide against a sitting president.

It was the primaries. This happens every four years.

It won't mean a thing.

[GarbagemanLB]

11. Experience is McCain's issue, and those comments play RIGHT INTO his hands.

Not to mention the fact that, YES, Obama is still an unknown quantity to a certain degree. It sure as hell doesn't look good having the person who almost won the nomination talking like that about you.

[Blarch]

19. Sr. NEVER said Ronnie wasn't qualified.

Hillary set precedent.

[Orangepeel]

24. exactly. It is easy enough to say that was then, this is now.

:shrug:

[still_one]

2. The best way for her to take it back is to start attacking mccain /nt

[SIMPLYB1980]

13. She can't attack until Obama gives her the go ahead.

Same with Bill, the media is begging Obama to go negative. If they attack it will be seen as coming from Obama by the media . Give it time. After the convention.

[still_one]

20. I suspect you are correct /nt

[JackORoses]

3. now that is funny!

[Lucinda]

5. She and O are pros. It will be easy enough to handle it.

[RedShoes]

7. she did when she fucking endorsed him. nt

[Orangepeel]

27. no, not really. She gave a great speech endorsing him strongly

but it focused on domestic issues. Personally, I think she should say, I wasn't sure he had the experience, but he's shown me he does.

[msongs]

8. even when u win you cannot stop sliming hillary clinton - ugly ugly ugly :-) nt

[11 Bravo]

15. Some can't help themselves. It's pathological.

[Orangepeel]

25. if you read the OP as sliming, your expectations are biasing your interpretation

my point was, it's easy enough to fix.

[Erin Elizabeth]

9. I bet they've already turned that into an ad.

Seriously. Why wouldn't they? It was like a gift. She wasn't just attacking her opponent in the primaries, that's normal, that happens, she was saying the REPUBLICAN nominee would make a better president than her opponent in the same party.

Fucking a.

[Orangepeel]

26. of course they have.

but, if it hadn't been that, it would have been something else. The clips are unfortunately, but not irreparable.

[Vattel]

28. no, but she say the opposite on countless occasions n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

10. She said three times.. McCain has a lifetime of experience and Obama has a speech he gave in 2002

I can post a link to the video if pressed to but the Clinton supporters here don't like it when I do that.

Out of respect I wil not post that link unless called out on the "link or lie" standard

[CakeGrrl]

12. She could start with a *convincing* speech at the convention. Bill too. We'll see. n/t

[Connie_Corleone]

14. She needs to say that Obama has proven that he has passed the commander-in-chief test.

That this campaign has proven to the American people that he is indeed qualified and ready to be president. She should do this in her speech next week.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. 2 weeks after Bill's.... you can argue nobody is ever to become President... statement?

and after we heard him proclaim for months that Hillary will be ready on day one?

good luck with that.

[snowbear]

16. If not for that STUPID move of hers, she'd be the top VP pick...

.
.

But she ran a shitty campaign and she trashed a fellow Democrat to such a degree that selecting her, makes it a major bonus for RETHUGS.

[Cha]

23. She dissed his supporters too with that ..

"the skies opening up and shining light down and heavenly choirs singing".

Yeah, hillary..that's what happened. How'd ya like it?

[BlooInBloo]

18. You mean she'd have to admit that she was WRONG? HAHAHAHA!!! Good luck with that...

She can't even admit that her war vote was wrong.

[otohara]

21. And Bill Can Take Back His Non-Endorsement

when pigs fly.

[1Hippiechick]

22. Nice try. Who is winning the "see how many times you can post Hillary's name" contest? n/t
