Confront Him!

Obama, as noted yesterday, intends to do it directly. Anyone else looking forward to that? ABC:

“This has become a habit, and one of the things that we’re going to have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he’s making statements that are not factually accurate.”

Bill’s shocking lack of factual accuracy, sounds like a Dawn over Tokyo moment for the Dems, though Bill had a point when he noted that Obama was against the war before he voted to fund it. Anyway, Obama threatens “we” will have to confront Bill directly. Somehow I don’t think this is going to be a cage match. OK, here we go. It’s going to be more like elbowing:

“My concern is not to try to go tit for tat on these issues and it’s also, you know, not to suggest that there’s not going to be some sharp elbows in politics. I understand that there are going to be sharp elbows in a primary and certainly there’s going to be some rough ‘n tumble in a general election,” Obama added.

Riehlly, “It’s it’s rather sad to see a woman aspire to the most powerful office in the world and admit that she can’t make it on her own.”

Poligazette, “Obama, be a man. Admit you lied.”

Gateway’s roundup notes Evil Empire striking back at Obama with robocalls.

Malkin the item noted yesterday: Ted K, Rahm tell hot-tempered Bill to cool it. Gotta be bad when you alarm Ted K.

   Gosh, wouldn’t it be great if the public witnessed a real knock down drag out, brawl?

   Hillary beating the dog do-do, out of Obama (and she could).

   Kookcinich, biting Hillary’s ankles and Bill taking care of Kookcinich, with his Monica Stick.

   Edwards couldn’t and wouldn’t be involved, it would mess up The Silk Ponies hair.

   I’ve forgotten any of the other vicious Dem’s running, so who cares.

   How can you tell if Bill Clinton is lying?

   His lips are moving.

   Barack Obama should think a little more before delighting the Clintons by coming down to their level.

   And what happens when you mud wrestle a pig.

   “you just get dirty and the pig likes it”

   Or what happens when you lie down with dogs…

   …you get up with fleas.

   (no offense to pigs or dogs)

   Some points made on Sunday’s Meet The Depressed

   And they quote Greg Craig, who was President Clinton’s lawyer during impeachment, saying “If the Hillary’s campaign can’t control Bill, how is Hillary’s White House going to control him?” Which is an–I think an issue worth discussing. (Tim Russert)

   …Hillary Clinton is the first major party woman running for president of the United States. She is a woman. She’s running for president. She’s running for head of the United States, chief executive officer. And she has to send her husband out to yell at the neighbors? It’s like she’s, she’s saying, “You go out there, you fight for me. My husband’s going to tell you off!” There’s something strange, jarring, unbecoming and even unfeminist about it. (Peggy Noonan)

   This is a great move on Husein’s part. If he attacks Hillary she will cry, and he will lose. But, he can attack Bill all he wants, because Bill is not a member of a protected class.

   tanstaafl, those are excellent points about Hillary!!!! as the President.

   As for her crying, Robert……when she cries, I think “crocodile tears”, a term that is applicable to Hillary!!!! in more ways than one.

   ‘…Hillary Clinton is the first major party woman running for president of the United States.’

   No, she isn’t.

   Thanks, Dave.

   There were some other “major party” female candidates.

   Hillary might be considered the most viable or likely woman to win her party’s nomination.

   A disheartening thought, since there are better, brighter, wiser and more interesting (female) possibilities.

   Geez. This year’s Democratic nomination process is just like having a gang of teenaged bikers move in next door, complete with boom boxes, all night parties, and beer cans thrown over the backyard fence.
