Kiki McLean, Hill's senior adviser, was "taken by surprise" by Obama's "personally negative attack"

[jenmito]

and it "took her by surprise" as it "didn't reflect the kind of campaign he said he was gonna run." :eyes: The "personally negative attack" was about how we won't win in Nov. by nominating someone who would unite the other party against us. Yeah-that's a SHOCKING personal attack. :sarcasm:

[Maven]

1. Roll your eyes and sarcasm away

If he keeps going negative, he's going to undermine his own "sunshine" routine and look like just another politician. Which is really what he is, anyway.

[Missy M]

4. He sure is.....

just another politician with a lot of preacher in him.

[TheDebbieDee]

6. Bingo!

[Skwmom]

5. Wow, such negativity. What a joke.

[Maven]

8. Cognitive dissonance

[jenmito]

11. It's not going negative to point out the facts. Hillary's camp must be very afraid of him which

is why everything he dares point out will be categorized as "going against his promise of bringing hope." He's talking about once he's the nominee bringing the country together. Poor Clintons can't have anyone saying anything that would point out the fact that she's a divisive figure.

[Maven]

13. Uhhuh. OK.

[Jai4WKC08]

28. The idea that Hillary will "unite the other party against us" is NOT a fact

It is an opinion.

My opinion is that if Obama gets the nomination, the GOP will eat him alive. It'll be Gore and Kerry all over again. All this "bringing the country together" will mean nada.

[papau]

2. If it is not about policy or about effectiveness in getting policy enacted - its personal

[jenmito]

14. That comment WAS about effectiveness in getting policy enacted, duh.

Don't you understand that with a more divided country policy won't get passed as easily?

[Skwmom]

3. MSNBC has been pushing for Clinton all day (trashing Obama).

That is why campaign finance reform is meaningless.

I thought Andrea Mitchell was going to have a seizure, she was trying so hard to push Clinton.

[KennedyGuy]

10. MSOBAMA you mean? Pro-Clinton..now THAT's Funny..

[Coexist]

16. actually, after the Florida dis, they have been making nice to Clinton

Bayh and Nelson (FL) and other supporters. Covering the "snub" when it is such fluff.

They are contrite.

[jenmito]

19. MSNBCLINTON? Yeah, they're really pro-Obama!

[jenmito]

17. It's painful listening to Andrea Mitchell. Terrible timing when trying to ask questions/make points

etc. She steps on people's answers or is silent afterwards.

[bellasgrams]

22. That's surprising, I thought BO had MSNBC all tied up

[flpoljunkie]

24. Andrea is a Hil camp "embed,"and it really, really shows! She works so hard to promote Hil's side

of every argument. It is so screamingly obvious!

[Jane Austin]

29. Yes, all morning every single MSNBC host has

talked about Obama "going negative". When I heard the mild things he'd said, I couldn't believe they thought that was negative.

Apparently if Obama points out differences between the two of them, he's negative.

Good grief. But this is the same network who keeps pushing the "snub" non-issue.

Every show yesterday had something on it.

So far, Monica Nowotny hasn't brought it up either, I think.

[Bonobo]

7. That's not a personal attack.

People here have lost any ability to judge relative significance.

[jenmito]

26. Exactly. n/t

[Barack_America]

9. So Hillary is able to blast Obama on "experience", which is only marginally true...

at best. Yet he is not able to criticize her very real IWR vote?

Ridiculous.

[GalleryGod]

23. As Tricky Dick said...

"Experience Counts!"

Stomp the Clintons like cockroaches !

Ouch! was I TOO personal, there????

[Barack_America]

30. ???

Dude, what did I ever do to you?

[DJ13]

12. I've always found Kiki to ba an airhead who's only claim to fame is being a good parrot

Rarely will she talk off message.

Might as well invite an answering machine with Hillary's voice reading todays talking points on the show.

[vireo]

25. Interesting that you would say that

I heard her with Peter B. Collins the other night and she claimed that Hillary would "seek the counsel" of George W. Bush when she is president. Admittedly it was said in the context of all former presidents, but I was still hoping that she had misspoken.

[jenmito]

27. I think she used the same exact thing Wolfson said earlier today.

They're all full of it.

[beachmom]

15. What "personal attack"? God, I hope people don't fall for this

Hillary, the poor victim, routine. Obama didn't attack Hillary personally. Only stating a fact.

[neutron]

18. to kick off the Dr. Martin Luthor King Birthday Debate

by making a crack about Walmart was creepy.
He hasn't got an ounce of judgement.

[GalleryGod]

21. JAFO from the Victim Camp.

EXIT ! Stage RIGHT, Kiki!
:donut: :loveya: :donut:

[GalleryGod]

20. Have another donut, Kik-ster.

Smarmy, full of herself, breathless...AND speaking of negative personal attacks...that's what my subject line was, Kiki.
