Clinton op de Aanval van Iran: `Wis hen uit'
Door Jake Tapper |
Één dag vóór Pennsylvania gaan de primaire kiezers naar de opiniepeilingen, Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., en Barack Obama, Dille., brachten de dag door proberend om onbesliste kiezers te bereiken, en hun verdedigers te verzamelen aan de opiniepeilingen.
Voor de laatste zes weken die zij en hebben gevochten bickered en allebei losgelaten een versperring van negativiteit in televisieadvertenties die gelucht=hebben= duizenden tijden in de staat.
De Advertentie van Clinton kenmerkt Oussama ben Laden
In advertentie die met het luchten in Pennsylvania Maandag ochtend begon, Impliceert Clinton zij taaier is dan Obama.
„Who u denkt heeft wat het?“ neemt narrator vraagt in een advertentie afschilderend historische beelden van crisissen dat de voorzitters hebben moeten behandelen: Oussama ben Laden, krantekoppen over de effectenbeursneerstorting van 1929, lange gasleidingen van de jaren '70 olie-schokken, beelden van de Koude Oorlog, de Orkaan Katrina en de militairen. Het kenmerkt het eerste beeld van Oussama ben Laden die in een TV- advertentie moet worden gebruikt dit politieke seizoen.
„Het is de taaiste baan in de wereld,“ zegt narrator van de advertentie. „U hebt om voor om het even wat vooral nu klaar te zijn , met twee oorlogen, olieprijzen het omhoogschieten en een economie in crisis nodig.“
De advertentie citeert de beroemde lijn van President Harry Truman's: „Als u zich niet de hitte kunt bevinden, krijg uit de keuken,“ om Obama te gieten zoals klagend over het presidentiële debat van vorige week van het Nieuws ABC.
Antwoordend aan de advertentie, Obama beschuldigde de woordvoerder Bill Burton de senator van New York van het in dienst nemen in schriktactiek.
Clinton op een Aanval van Iran: `Wis hen uit'
Clinton toonde verder taaie bespreking in het gespreksluchten de Dinsdag op van „Goed Amerika van de Ochtend“. ABC het Nieuws' Chris Cuomo vroeg Clinton wat zij zou doen als Iran Israël met kernwapens aanviel.
„ik wil de Iraniërs weten dat als ik de voorzitter ben, wij Iran zullen aanvallen,“ bovengenoemde Clinton. „In de volgende 10 jaar, waarin zij dwaas zouden kunnen overwegen lancerend een aanval op Israël, zouden wij hen kunnen totaal uitwissen.“
Let op het volledige gesprek met Sen. Hillary Clinton op de Dinsdag van „GMA“.
Obama, voor zijn deel, moet zich over het uitwissen van zijn herhaalde belofte van een „nieuw soort politiek ongerust maken.“ Maar hij vertelde ABC Nieuws' Robin Roberts op „Goede Ochtend Amerika“ zijn aanvallen noodzakelijk zijn.
“You’ve always got to measure if somebody throws an elbow at you, and after three or four times of gettin’ elbows in the ribs, you know, at what point do you sort of say, ‘OK, you know, we, we, we’ve gotta put a stop to that’?” Obama said.
Washington a ‘Miserable Place’
In Obama’s latest ad airing Monday in Pennsylvania, the ad accuses, “Sen. Clinton has internalized a lot of the strategies, the tactics that have made Washington such a miserable place.”
Campaigning in Bethlehem, Pa., Monday, Clinton fired back, accusing Obama of running a campaign that is just as negative.
“He has consistently, and including in Pennsylvania, he has sent out mailers, he has run ads misrepresenting what I have proposed,” Clinton said.
The negativity continued this week with Pennsylvania voters receiving automated phone calls.
“Why would Barack Obama vote for a Bush-Cheney energy bill?” said a robotic call for the Clinton campaign.
“I don’t trust Sen. Clinton as much on issues that are important to sportsmen,” said a call for the Obama campaign.
Going Negative, Going to the Mat
Fittingly, both candidates recorded messages Monday night for WWE pro wrestling.
“This election is starting to feel a lot like ‘king of the ring.’” Clinton said in the message. “The only difference? The last man standing may just be a woman.”
“To all the forces of division and distraction that has stopped us from making progress for the American people, I’ve got one question: Do you smell what Barack is cooking?” Obama said in his message.
In a sign of how much party officials are worried about the damage this intense fight is doing to the Democrats, the North Carolina Democratic Party has canceled a proposed debate, and one of the reasons for the cancelation is a reluctance to further highlight the fighting between the two candidates.

ReplyI have lived 58 years hoping I would see a woman elected as President but I would be ashamed and scared if Hillary attains this Office. A MAN is needed at this time as not all nations recognize the fact that a woman can be a good leader and I feel that at this point in time, given current feelings about women by the countries we are dealing with that this is not the time to elect a woman and definitely not Hillary. I would love to buy the “pie in the sky” promises of Obama but have lived too long to do so and so the least of the worst is McCain- at least he is telling me more truths as I know them than the false promises of utopia being sold by Clinton and Obama. I am afraid that the American people need and want to believe the “pie in the sky” as our hopes are low. I just hope they do not buy what can never be delivered by either of them. I guess I am a realist.

ReplyI don’t think it matters a bit if the next president is a woman or a black man. That kind of trivialization is exactly what plagues politics.
What matters are the issues. I trust neither of them because I have become so cynical that I suspect them both of saying anything to get elected and then doing exactly what the rest have always done.
But in the end, when choosing between the two, I think that Obama makes the best case for CHANGE. And change is the biggest thing that America needs now.
Let’s hope he’s not just another lying, cheating politician out to destroy the Constitution and expanding the American Empire.
