In debate: Hillary again smeared Pres. Obama, to try to defend her huge speaking fees:

[amborin]

a smear is an untrue and fabricated criticism of someone, and Hillary lobbed at least one against President Obama during the debate, according to today's NY Times article about the debate.

"make no mistake about it---this is not just an attack on me, it's an attack on President Obama," Mrs. Clinton said about the criticism of her use of a "super PAC" and her acceptance of big-money contributions.

She has done this repeatedly before. She smears Pres. Obama and falsely tarnishes his record to try to con voters.

President Obama did get some campaign donations from big money and big banks.

But Hillary has been getting the campaign donations from Big Money, AND, she is personally profiting from getting the huge speaking fees from Big Money--and this money goes straight into her personal bank account, not to her campaign.

She shamelessly maligns Obama, repeatedly.

1. you call that a smear? Pathetic grasping

these pretend attacks are pathetic. Grow Up

8. No, it's just an out and out lie...

For the most part, they said, the DNC has returned to business as usual, pre-2008. The DNC has even named a finance director specifically for PAC donations who has recently emailed prospective donors to let them know that they can now contribute again, according to an email that was reviewed by The Washington Post.

9. why support her lies? she tried to con the viewers into thinking her receipt of Big Money was just l

like Obama's receipt of Big Money. But they are two radically different types of Big Money influence. Obama's were campaign donations, whereas Hillary personally profited from the huge speaking fees.

To absolve her of receiving the money and lying about it is pathetic

[Sheepshank]

12. Speaking fees are private transactions.

The Bernie Bros insistence that the fees and especially the transcripts are part of the public purview is absolutely ridiculous. Industries paid money and fees for the speeches, and Bernie Bros want them for free...it's pathetic and without merit.

[dogman]

18. Romney's speech was private too.

[Sheepshank]

19. And someone video taped it & exposed.....someone could have made a secret tape of Hillary

apparently there wasn't anything damning to tape?

[dogman]

21. When she releases the transcripts, we'll know.

Nothing damaging? What is she hiding then?

[Sheepshank]

27. I wouldn't release them either...this was a private business transaction

...and Bernie Bros want for free what other have paid for. It's a poor business decision that would set a horrible precedence in private business transactions. If there was something Romney damming, you can bet it would have been leaked.

[dogman]

29. They must be some awesome speeches to have that much value.

A precedence of transparency is horrible? Ok.

[Sheepshank]

30. I would imagine the speech is part of the cost, but the person delivering it has some value too.

the very same speeches could be delivered by me, and Obama...which would garner the bigger fees?

[dogman]

31. I think it would depend on the message.

I believe they would pay more to hear what they want than what they don't want. It would also depend on how much they owed whom.

[frylock]

24. We'll probably find out in October.

[bobbobbins01]

2. Don't forget when she tried to pin Libya on him as well.

She just cowers behind him most of the time, then throws him under the bus as necessary. She refuses to take personal responsibility for anything.

[hedgehog]

20. That was my impression as well - when Obama did someting right,

it's because Hillary told him what to do. When he did something wrong,it was all his fault! I was disappointed that the reliance on Blumenthal for advice on Libya didn't come up.

[frylock]

25. Like a human shield.

[amborin]

28. yes, the ultimate cowardice: she won't own up to her massive failings

3. DNC (Hillary and Debbie) rolls back Obama ban on contributions from federal lobbyists

The Democratic National Committee has rolled back restrictions introduced by presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008 that banned donations from federal lobbyists and political action committees.

The decision was viewed with disappointment Friday morning by good government activists who saw it as a step backward in the effort to limit special interest influence in Washington. Some suggested it could provide an advantage to Hillary Clinton’s fundraising efforts.

When people point out how Hillary is bankrolling down ticket Dems, this is where the moola comes from.

[timlot]

4. Obama doesn't care. He's already been president. She's been given the ok to say whateva she needs to

[EndElectoral]

5. She uses Obama when it is convenient and discards him when it's not. Simple as that.

[JoePhilly]

6. Obama is lucky to have you Bernie folks defending him.

[Human101948]

10. And Hillary is grateful for your staunch loyalty while she lies her ass off...

For the most part, they said, the DNC* has returned to business as usual, pre-2008.

*Debbie and Hillary

[JoePhilly]

11. Life seems so bleek for you guys.

Being outraged 24/7 has to be exhausting.

[Human101948]

13. Must be exhausting having to try 24/7 to put us in our place...

while defending Hillary's lies.

[JoePhilly]

16. Watching the perpetually disgruntled hyperventilate has become ...

... an enjoyable hobby.

[Human101948]

32. No one is hyperventilating , that's your heavy breathing

as you flagellate yourself imagining the distress that you inflict on poor defenseless Bernie Bros with your mighty intellect.

[marmar]

7. She'll smear him constantly....unless she's speaking at an African-American church of course.

[onehandle]

14. Can someone in the Sanders campaign tell him to stop doing this?

It works fine on MSNBC shows, when he was a guest. But now that he is running for President, it's not a good thing.

[Human101948]

15. Yes, he should be content and relaxed with the status quo as Hillary is...

?w=900

[dogman]

17. She stands behind him, he's her human shield.

She supports everything he has done or is doing, unless it has negative effect, then it's his fault.

[oldandhappy]

22. She smears him and hides behind him

and he makes pathetic statements of support.

Disgusted with both of them at this point. But I am grateful he is the president. Very grateful.

[CorkySt.Clair]

23. You're trying to hard

Obama supporters...true Obama supporters...know Berners can't stand PBO. Bernie can't either, which is why he wanted him fired in 2012.

Your attempts at triangulation aren't going to make me want to support Bernie.

[Bjornsdotter]

26. "He did it too!"

Also goes along with the "He started it!" defense.

[Skwmom]

33. The Clintons are damaging his legacy, yet he supports her. It makes no sense.
