Image is from the movie ” Scarface”, it is what came to my mind when I saw Hillary as she fired back at Obama today.

Hillary Clinton: “Shame on You, Barack Obama”
CBS News
CINCINNATI
Today, Hillary Clinton aggressively went after Barack Obama, criticizing him for playing similar political games to Karl Rove and at one point saying, “Shame on you, Barack Obama.”
Speaking to reporters following a rally at a community college here, Clinton slammed Obama and his campaign for distributing mailings to Ohio voters attacking Clinton’s universal health care plan and her position on NAFTA.
“Today in the crowd I was given two mailings that Senator Obama’s campaign is sending and I have to express my deep disappointment that he is continuing to send false and discredited mailings with information that is not true to the voters of Ohio. He says one thing in speeches and then he turns around does this,” Clinton said waiving the two mailings at the cameras.
“Just because Senator Obama chose not to present a universal health care plan does not give him the right to attack me because I did. So let’s have a real campaign. Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics that are right out of Karl Rove’s playbook, this is wrong and every Democrat should be outraged.”
“Everything in those mailers is completely accurate,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. “We look forward to having a debate this Tuesday on the facts, and the facts are that Senator Clinton was a supporter of NAFTA and the China permanent trade treaties until this campaign began. And she herself has said that under the Clinton health care plan, she would consider ‘going after the wages’ of Americans who don’t purchase health insurance, whether they can afford it or not,” Burton continued.
Clinton’s tough tone and sharp words are a stark difference from her tone and appearance on a debate in Austin, Texas two days ago.
When asked about her new tone Clinton skirted the question going back to the mailings and attacking the Obama campaign for funding them.
“This election is about misleading, false and discredited attacks that interfere with voters being able to make an informed judgment,” she said.
“I am not going to stand here and see this campaign polluted by the kind of misleading, discredited and false attacks. We deserve better than that. He’s been called out on it, he has been contradicted on it, he knows better and here it is ‘Paid for by the Obama for America Campaign.’”
“So, shame on you Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public, that’s what I expect from you. Meet me in Ohio and let’s have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign.”
Earlier at the rally, she slammed President Bush, saying that under his presidency “the American people got shafted.”
She also suggested a parallel between Bush and her opponent Barack Obama, saying that talking “about change” doesn’t necessarily translate into a successful presidency.
“You know people talk a lot about change in this election,” Clinton said.
”We have lived through some of the worst change anybody could imagine over the last 7 years. Do you think people voting in 2000 knew what they were getting? I don’t. People thought they were getting a compassionate conservative; and it turns out we got neither and we have lived with the consequences of those mistakes year after year after year.”
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!” she added.
“Now more than ever we need a president we can count on, a president who’s in it for you,” said Clinton.
Clinton will hold another event in Ohio today before heading to Louisiana and Texas later this evening.

HERE are the first mailesr of the presidential race and it’s a doozy.
“Only Barack Obama consistently opposed NAFTA,” it declares. “A little more than a year ago, Hillary Clinton thought NAFTA was a ‘boon’ to the economy,” it continues (citing a 9/11/06 item in Newsday). And, “Hillary Clinton was not with Ohio when our jobs were on the line. Why should we be with her now?”
The piece targets not just Clinton’s record on trade but her credibility. It says that she is “changing her tune” now that she’s campaigning in places like Ohio, but when Obama says he will fix broken trade deals “we can believe him.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
“So let’s have a real campaign. Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics that are right out of Karl Rove’s playbook, this is wrong and every Democrat should be outraged.”
WOW! She is not only b!tching like only America’s Ex-Wife could, but her jealously of Obama’s turnouts compared to hers is on display like a billboard.
Her challenge to B.Huessin Obama…..Meet me at dawn in Fort Marcy Park.
Being MAD to the Clinton’s = That is Clinton code for Mutual Assured Destruction
This means she’s desperate.
She knows she’s going down for the count
and she has nothing left.
Barack has left her in his dust.
I’m very worried about the future of America.
Hillary is fighting her last battle before surrender. Neither is any different than the other as far as what they are promising, a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.
At the beginning of the campaign Hillary was asked if she was a liberal, her answer was not surprising. She said, she was a Progressive, by the strictest sense of the definition. Doing some digging I found out that yes indeed she is a Progressive. Thanks to the Progressive movement, we got Prohibition, The Income Tax, Anti-Trust laws, Companies were not allowed to get to big, and government would regulate them.
Looking further for What a Progressive is, I found a forum on a College Campus, a class was giving their definition of a Progressive’,
here’s one,
“My definition of progressive is embracing justice as a social goal. Justice is the means by which society and government can provide equality, harmony and prosperity to the people.”
One kid said, he didn’t mind paying taxes, I wonder how many years he has actually paid taxes. He really has no idea what he is talking about.
They can dress it up and call it Progressive or Liberal or, whatever, to me this is the definition of Communism.
This is what the kids are being taught, they are being taught that happiness and any goal in life will be determined by the Government. They are being indoctrinated into this garbage, and with no alternative have no other view as to what it used to be to be an American.
Obi Wan Obama or Hillary, must be defeated at all costs. These two are a threat to our country and our way of life.
Oh….whine!!!!!! She’s a loser and does not like it. I don’t care much for Bill, but if she loses, I will feel very sorry for him. Can you imagine the shrieking and profanity?
Good point from Mark. Liberalism replaced Progressivism because Progressivism was too populist and common. Progressivism originated in Protestant Christian activism and, with Civil Rights, the Republican abolitionist movement.
Liberalism differed from Progressivism because Liberalism centered around government by elites, by technicians and the (over) educated.
Some of the great Liberal screeds of this century posited that “The People” were entirely too stupid and unsophisticated to comprehend complex social issues, and to govern themselves.
Hillary isn’t calling herself a Progressive for these reasons, although she believes all the lib nonsense; it’s because she shuns the word “Liberal”.
I’m glad to see they’re both not letting their educations get in the way of their mutual ignorance. Hillary’s incompetence is an inspiration to idiots everywhere and Bill can’t seem to infuse some of that Rhodes Scholarship knowledge to his spouse while their old Arkansas mafia strongarm tactics aren’t working the mojo for them. A tidbit of advice given to me as a youngster was be careful who you step on on your way up, you just might meet them on your way down. For Hillary this may just be coming true, her past ill treatment of her subordinates and supporters may be part of the defection to Obama and she is lashing out. Liberal or Progressive means the same old thing when applied to that big old Marxist Hillary.
Chrissie, I’d prefer they meet in a duel the same way Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton met, draw and fire 12 GA shotguns w/00 buck at 20 yards maximum. We could use the relief.
Lynn yes she knows it over for her. Yes me too Lynn I am very worried.
Mark thanks so much, and that kid your right there too, this is what schools are teaching now.
I agree both Hillary and Obama are a threat to our country and our way of life.
Steve, W(b)itch Hunt Organizer, LOL love the name. hahhaha
Your right he will get get the full Hillary treatment for any kind of out of line statement he made or anything she can blame him for instead of seeing how she had the most to do with it of all.
“Don’t F around with Scarface Montana!” HIPS VS
Q-TIPS 2008? Hillary can’t speak very well for her tone and vocal inflections are described as high pitched and….. one big time NAG!
Rhod, I guess that is why so many liberals hate the word liberal they react like it is a bad name for them when I would never be offended if someone said..OH Chrissie you are one of those Conservatives”. I would just if you only knew how much. hahahahaa
Jack…..that is so true.
“A tidbit of advice given to me as a youngster was be careful who you step on on your way up, you just might meet them on your way down.”
LOL I agree too about the duel. heh heh
Darth I agree, her voice is so hard to take. And as it gets louder it gets worse.
Little late in commenting here but after reading this, I had to laugh because Hillary actually slams herself and the rest of the Liberal idiots!!!!
“People thought they were getting a compassionate conservative; and it turns out we got neither and we have lived with the consequences of those mistakes year after year after year.”
So is she saying that Bush is a Liberal?!??!! If that is the case, then we sure as hell don’t want any more of them running the government!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL
I have to agree completely with Mark. Our educational system has totally gone Communistic!!! We don’t teach our kids the true values of Freedom anymore……Only the “State” will provide for me!!!! Our forefathers that broke their butts and died for our Freedoms are surely holding their heads in shame at today’s blooming idiots!!!!!
