"Senator Obama, it is so difficult to get a straight answer from you."

[MoonRiver]

THANK YOU HILLARY.

[Joe the Revelator]

1. Big Boos on that bullshit spin.

nt

[MoonRiver]

6. IYHO.

I heard no boos, only applause.

[Joe the Revelator]

16. Then you're deaf.

[Egnever]

29. check your hearing aid CNN heard it

heres the transcript

CLINTON: Well, you know, Senator Obama, it is very difficult having a straight-up debate with you, because you never take responsibility for any vote, and that has been a pattern.

You, in the -- now, wait a minute. In the Illinois state legislature...

(AUDIENCE BOOING)

[Cha]

2. It's so difficult for hilary and bill

to tell the truth.

[jgraz]

30. Well, not really. It's just so damn easy for them to lie.

They do it so well. If you ignore the pure evil of it, it's actually quite impressive.

[southernleftylady]

3. My mom just talked about this "Voting present" thing today..

how many times can you vote present without someone saying something on it?

[Scriptor Ignotus]

35. 130 times out of 4000 total votes, apparently. - eom

[southernleftylady]

4. dupe sorry

[Politicub]

5. Finally - the gloves are off

And Obama's answer doesn't make sense - why the heck wouldn't he vote for his own bill?

[Hoof Hearted]

14. I wanted her to ask him that. Why on EARTH would you vote "present" on your own bill.

He looks like an ass.

[Politicub]

20. He gave his answer - technical difficulties

That should be Obama's new campaign slogan instead of "hope."

[oviedodem]

22. Did anyone here

stop to think that when you are working on a bill, running a state and such. That you actually realize there is an error and it would be the best thing to fix it? You can't kill someone for trying to correct what he/she put in and then tried to retract.

Seriously!!

[cboy4]

7. He's really starting to sweat and panic

Wow

[Sparkly]

10. That's what I'm thinking.

She may have wanted to get him flustered; and/or, she's got plenty of soundbytes for the re-runs... :scared:

[Hoof Hearted]

18. I saw some facial muscles twitching near his temple.

It was obvious, even on T.V.

[Windy]

8. Garbage...more clinton Rovian CRAP!!! n/t

[Hawkeye-X]

9. Sorry, Hillary is a distant 4th on my list....

Too many skeletons in the Clinton clan. And yes, I voted for Bill in '96.

Hawkeye-X

[AX10]

11. He's from the Chicago machine.

[ellisonz]

12. GO TO HELL HILLARY!

[CreekDog]

13. Congressman John Burton once voted present on his own bill in Congress

To which another member quipped, "I question if he really is present."

[depakid]

15. Well, that's sure the truth

[MagsDem]

17. And then he answered with a whine

.... it's all about him. Still can't explain his "present" votes.

[LittleClarkie]

21. Is that your word for the day?

To rebut is not to whine.

[MagsDem]

23. A rebutall would be why his position is the correct one...

All I hear is excuses for his lame "present" votes, and it's not fair I have to campaign against both Clinton's, even though she has to campaign against both Obama's and both Edwards'. I loved it when she said, "well Bill isn't here, and I am." Made him look like the total wuss he is.

[MoonRiver]

26. Indeed.

He has no clue about how to compete in the GE. McCain or Romney would eat him alive. :scared:

[LittleClarkie]

19. He's the only one sometimes you CAN get a straight answer from.

Last debate when they were asked about their weaknesses, he actually answered straightforwardly instead of coughing up a job interview answer.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

32. thats one thing i find highly amusing personally

Obama says what he means straightforwardly and honestly, yet what do people against him yell when he does so if not 'he is naive'

You'd think honesty would be a good thing even if we are talking about politics

[emilyg]

24. True.!!!!

[AGirl]

25. thats true.

[CelloPaddy]

27. Pot calling the kettle black?

I like how she calls people on her own weaknesses to try to deflect attention away from herself. Reminds me of fights I used to have with my siblings when we were kids.

[Radical Activist]

37. exactly what I was thinking

Hillary is the one with a problem here.

[Azathoth]

28. Hey Hillary, what's your position on the Iraq war today? n/t

[MrSlayer]

31. It takes some serious brass for her to say that.

She's the queen of the non-answer.

[FrenchieCat]

33. No, actually it is very easy for Obama

to tell the truth.

[Adelante]

34. It is difficult, I guess

When your opponent and her former president husband distort your remarks and spread that distortion far and wide and then demand a straight answer to a thereby twisted question.

[Hello_Kitty]

36. Isn't she used to that sort of thing from her husband by now?

:shrug:

39. She is correct. Obama is a shapeshifter without a clear stand on many issues
