Is Senior Questioning Obama's Judgement A Clinton Plant?
Edited on Sat May-03-08 07:58 PM by progressive25
Exposed Story

Is a senior citizen taking Democrat Presidential candidate Sen. Barrack Obama to task over his opposition to temporarily suspending the federal gas tax a Clinton Plant?

You be the judge.

A video of a elderly lady in Indiana struggling to read a statement that appears to be foreign to her is posted on Obama's rival's Sen. Hillary Clinton's official blog. ( see below.)

As the lady stumbles through each sentence, she finally tells Obama she favors the proposal made by his Democratic opponent Sen. Hillary Clinton.

For a moment, Obama seems to be at a loss for words, and makes a weak attempt to laugh his way out of an (orchestrated?) embarrassing moment.

Our intuition tells us that the senior is most likely a Hillary ringer. What do you say?

4. This is silly. Why would the Hillary camp plant someone just to read something?
If the old lady is pro-Hillary enough to work as a plant, wouldn't she memorize the question first? Any why isn't there video of the answer he gives?

Trying to hide something?

6. The video was posted on Hillary's Campaign Web Site
Why did the Clinton campaign want to show it without giving Obama a chance to answer? Good question.

5. She didn't write and if she is able to drive I doubt it isn't very many miles
I'm sure someone wrote that for her, it's clear they weren't her words. I didn't hear her say she supports Clinton though.

13. No, I'm referring to interpretations made on videos.

Granted, anything is possible.

On the other hand, I've gone with groups of advocates to the legislature for various causes. Scenes like that would not be unusual when people are trying their best to make a point in public.

16. OUCH!
I think you just proved his point. Hmmm my parents are old as well. Ill give her the benefit of the doubt that she wanted to right it down, on the other hand if its important enough TO YOU (her) to write down, how in the hell is she not familiar with it.? Im sure she agrees with it in theory, but someone probably wrote it for her.
