Now That The Shoe Is On The Other Foot Look Who's Whining Now!

Apparently Barack Obama can't take the heat once it's focused on him. While he's enjoyed months and months of favorable press coverage and breezed along he could take the "high road" and appear above the fray. He and his campaign loved to point out that Clinton's campaign whined. And now, it's his turn. Well, boo hoo. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

CHICAGO -- Democratic Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday blamed his primary defeats in Ohio and Texas on rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's criticism and news coverage that he argued benefited her at his expense.
The presidential candidate said he planned to do more in the days ahead to raise doubts about his opponent's claims to foreign policy and other Washington experience. In a television ad that her campaign credits with helping her win, she portrayed herself as most prepared to handle an international crisis.
"What exactly is this foreign policy experience?" Obama asked mockingly. "Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no."
Clinton, who was asked in TV interviews Wednesday about her national security qualifications, ticked off a series events in which she played a role, including peace talks in Northern Ireland.


Senator Obama, please, isn't just possible that the people in Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas just didn't want to vote for YOU! They didn't fall under your monotonous, mind numbing speeches full of hot air and empty hope and promises? They saw an inexperienced, naive politician They saw that Obama can't debate. He has no passion for the issues he claims to care about, clearly evident as stammers and stutters through every debate.

What an insult to voters. And to call what he's had the past few weeks "bad" press coverage goes beyond exageration. Hey, Senator, wait till they really turn the x-ray on you.

And now the name-calling. An Obama staffer calls Hillary a "monster." Excuse me?

(CNN) — Samantha Power has resigned her position from Barack Obama's campaign after calling Hillary Clinton a 'monster,' the Illinois senator's campaign announced.

“With deep regret, I am resigning from my role as an advisor the Obama campaign effective today," Power said in a statement issued by the campaign. "Last Monday, I made inexcusable remarks that are at marked variance from my oft-stated admiration for Senator Clinton and from the spirit, tenor, and purpose of the Obama campaign. And I extend my deepest apologies to Senator Clinton, Senator Obama, and the remarkable team I have worked with over these long 14 months."

The Obama campaign said that the decision was Power’s, and stressed that “she was an adviser, not a paid staffer.”

"She made the decision to resign and we accepted," said communications director Robert Gibbs.

Earlier in the day, the Clinton campaign had called for Obama to end Power's association with his campaign.


Look, my point is, their campaign has had quite an easy free ride with the press. Now they lose 3 elections and the gloves finally come off.

And that's all I have to say about that for now. TGIF!
