MEMO: Obama Campaign: Just Words

To: Interested Parties
From: The Clinton Campaign
Date: March 21, 2008
RE: Obama Campaign: Just Words

At this point, it’s no secret that the Obama campaign is in political hot water given the news stories of the last few weeks and is desperate to change the subject.

The ground is shifting away from them and their response?

First, disenfranchise voters - Prevent new votes in Florida and Michigan. Stop voting in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Oregon, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, Kentucky, South Dakota, Montana, West Virginia and Indiana.

Second, peddle photos of President Clinton shaking hands with Reverend Wright less than 48 hours after calling for a high-minded conversation on race. Well, President Clinton took tens of thousands of photos during his eight years as president. Stop the presses.

Third, accuse our campaign of having something to do with Senator Obama’s passport file being breached, a reckless charge that has zero merit.

Fourth, continue attacks on Senator Clinton’s character in an effort to implement what the Chicago Tribune called a full assault on her ethics.

Fifth, stonewall the press: no tax returns, no state records, no answers about the inconsistencies in the Rezko story.

So it’s not a pretty sight - it’s all part of a pattern of just words.

Senator Obama talks about voter participation while actively disenfranchising millions.

He calls for high minded debates while practicing lowdown politics.

He promises a different kind of campaign while attacking Hillary’s character.

He promises transparency while hiding basic info and stonewalling the press.

It’s no wonder that Americans are coming to see that for all of his lofty rhetoric, Senator Obama’s candidacy is really just words.

It’s no surprise that Americans are expressing serious doubts about his ability to answer the 3am call.

It’s no wonder that top journalists are calling the Obama campaign desperate, saying that it’s amateur hour in Chicago.

6. hey, that's more than me!

I NEVER do! I am a wuss plus I don't have TV news or newspapers or anything except the internet to get my news so I feel a little intimidated that I may not know what is going on all the time. (I live overseas right now)

Good for you for posting that. They are going to pile on you though.... :scared:

7. haha

I don't care if they do - the press release says it all.

Hey listen,I think the most current and up to date 'news' comes from the internet so don't worry about posting b/c of not being aware of what's going on;If you're on the net and into politics you know more than most do B-)

3. that is so right on the money

Those are the reasons I can't stand Obama, plus add in McClurkin.

I am so pissed off about Obama wanting to block Florida and Michigan from a re-vote. What an ass. If I lived in one of those states and he became the nominee, it would make me stay home. How democratic of him.
