Obama Campaign Says Hillary Tries to 'Rewrite History' on Iraq War

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton emails a statement on Hillary Clinton's Iraq comment in Nashua: “Hillary Clinton may try to rewrite history, but it's hard to believe she didn't know what would happen after she voted for a resolution with the title ‘A Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq.’ While Hillary Clinton continues to make the same kind of attacks that voters are rejecting, Barack Obama will continue telling voters about his consistent opposition to the war in Iraq from the start, and his plan to bring our troops home."

Obama’s message, HOPE. What “HOPE”?
After recently watching presidential campaign videos, I stumbled across the well publicized Barack Obama-Oprah rally in Columbia, South Carolina. It was shocking to see the way Obama handled himself. I have heard and watched Obama in front of crowds, but this time in front of a predominately African American crowd, Obama totally changed his accent, his dialect and his annunciation of words, and was preaching to them, in a way he has never spoken publicly before, to appeal to them. Well known African American preachers preach in a certain accent and dialect to their followers, which Obama was doing. Obama was literally changing his accent, which was astonishing to see. We are talking about a U.S. Presidential candidate here, changing himself, in an anti-American way.
This is evident that Obama is quite bluntly a racist and a hypocrite. Obama, the candidate who is full of “hope” and a “one America” is the candidate who is doing the exact opposite. By speaking in the slang way he did in front of the African American crowded stadium, Obama showed just how divided he sees America, as he changed himself to appeal to his rally attendants. Quite simply, how can Obama unite and change America, when he himself divides the country into race by treating races differently? As a twenty year old student (Obama’s strong support group), Obama proved that he inherently is not for change, as he acts and talks one way to groups of people, but then puts on a show for others. Obama is trying to convey to America a bipartisan candidate, while his actions prove otherwise. America stands for equality! A vote for Obama would be a vote to segregate America, as he has done himself.
You clearly are only inteeligent enough to post your opinion anonymously online, because if you were to recite that opinion in public you would be ridiculed. What is anti american about talking in a way that people will understand? Nothing. You don't like him because you are racist, simply. And please know...I must have been the only one dumb enough to read the entire paragraph you spit out.
James you need to use spell-check. As for “anonymous”, I can't go back and view this tape from Obama’s South Carolina ranting. But from what I have seen so far, it fit’s the mold. However as a lifelong democrat, I am incensed about this phony Obama who puts on a show for everyone. He dances for Ellen Degeneres as well as tells empty headed new voters a plethora of clichés' so they can feel part of the process that they have been to lazy to otherwise understand what’s really at stake. The real truth is that if you are deciding the night before the primary who you are going to vote for then you probably shouldn't be voting because you haven't been paying attention. These elections have become more about presenting a candidate for entertainment value (since the Regan era) and so Obama can be absent of substance and of any real knowledge and he just needs to look and act the part. Obama goes around evoking JFK and Martin Luther Kings name when in fact he has nothing remote to their achievements. As a matter of fact he is a rank amateur compared to Hillary Clinton who is so much more in her knowledge of issues and in the accomplishments she has achieved which is why you don't hear her speaking in prose of worthless and empty ideals aimed at the dumbed down YouTube-MySpace generation. If you noticed in the debate how many times he resorted back to the cute little sayings he has been uttering instead of delving further into his intent in handling the dilemmas we face in this countries future. Again just to try to allure ignorant fence sitters who call themselves independent voters, when in fact these voters are just absent of conviction and pursue the flavor of the month mentality! They play this like rooting for their favorite sports team. Iowa and New Hampshire are worthless in the direction that this nation moves otherwise and so they play this moronic game every presidential election because it's the only notoriety they can muster. How can so many people come into this as undecided? Maybe they should watch more C-span and less Oprah! I just am not sure why the unaware “independent” voters get to participate in the primaries for the Democratic Party. They turn the process into an embarrassment.

The comments about Obama changing his speaking approach is valid, but what is worse is there is NO SUBSTANCE to his statements or DETAILS. He is like Rap Music, which is simply someone talking and NOT MUSIC, or Sean Coombs "socialite careeer", simply renting houses around the world in neighborhoods and places he never lived or lives in and getting a press agent to put stories in the press about his large parties, which are all publicity stunts paid for by others. NO SUBSTANCE.
This is NOT A RACIAL PROBLEM but a CLASS and GENERATION PROBLEM. The schools, from the Ivy League to the local grammar school have so abandoned teaching facts and reality to "politically left-wing acceptable subjective social engineering and re-writing history" that people educated since the 1980s simply don't know how to study or work.
I daresay Obama couldn't name what tribe his Father came from, what their history was any more than he could tell us what caused the overthrown of the Hawaiian monarchy where he grew up, or for example the history of the Moslem Conquest of Indonesia and how the native Sultanates were gradually destroyed by the Indonesian nattionalists although they aided the Independence Movement in the country where he went to a Moslem school in his youth.
The importance of these? Indonesia is the largest Moslem nation and has what appears to be a non-indigneous terrorist movement that endangers a major oil producing nation and the Philippines. The importance of the history of Hawaii between 1891 and 1908? The absorbion of native states or non-White populations into larger White-dominated nations is one of the major issues the world has to deal with now.
It is not Obama's 50% Black African ancestry that is the issue, IT IS HIS GENERATIONAL DISINCLINATION TO WORK, TO STUDY, THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
These comments are despicable. Go home Racists, no one wants you around. Disgusting.
-An educated white man
Yes, it's obvious you people aren't really into black people, are you? Either that or YOU are woefully uneducated about the issues in general and Obama's positions in particular. It takes all of 5 minutes of watching any Obama interview on any subject to understand he has a firm grasp on all of the issues he speaks about. It's also painfully obvious - Count who ever the hell you are - that you haven't bothered to do much homework on the election at all to make those ignorant comments. Just parroting Rush and Bill O'Reilly ain't gonna do this time.
