Obama's Creative Clippings

Only a minority leader can redeem and heal minorities.

I can see that you and MNSBC among others in the media are trying to impose on US, Mrs. Clinton. Your job is not to tell us how to vote or who is better. Your job is to give us fair and factual information from all sides of the situation. Doesn't Hillary have any misleading comments, ads, for you to report one day before the Nevada Caucuses?

Hm, sources: Hillary Clinton.

Why is it that whenever someone points out facts then they are considered racist, this is rediculous to always use the racist tactic to get someones way,,, why cant we just leave the race card out of the picture close your eyes on skin color, then the facts me become more clear

I have one question regarding Obama's health care plan. He proposes that his plan will make health care affordable but not require/mandate that people buy it. My question is..."If people choose not to buy health insurance coverage but show up at the emergency room, will they be treated? If they are treated, who will pay for that treatment?(Okay, two questions). A similar question was asked during one of the debates and his answer was something like..."I believe they will buy it..." that doesn't answer the question.

I would have one question regarding Obama's health care plan...He says he will make it affordable but not require/mandate that everyone buy it. My question is...If someone chooses NOT to sign up and pay for a plan, who pay for them when they show up at the emergency room? Do they not get care? Do we all have to pay for them anyway? A similar ?? was asked in one of the debates but his answer was something like..."They will buy iy if it is affordable"...I don't think that that is true...many people will not take it out unless it is required.
PS...If all people have to offer to this debate is old Monica comments, they should rethink their contribution.

Why doesn't the title to this article include negative adjectives to describe what he did? He advertisements were essentially misleading and expressed an obviously skewed view of the truth. If this was any other candidate (Democrat or Republican), the news media wouldn't tread so lightly and try to spin the topic in a positive manner. By presenting him as completely above the fray (which is obviously untrue), the media is doing the American public a huge disservice.

I'm an Obama supporter, I'll say that with pride. This post has so much misinformation that it's really worthless to read. I don't know why I even bothered. If people would take time to really look at Hillary's "experience" they would know that being the First Lady to a President does not afford you the experience that she claims. If she was so knowledgeable about Bill's activities in the Oval Office, the Monica Lewinsky scandal never would have happened.

This article evidences well the extent to which Obama's differences from Clinton are quite minimal. They have similar goals for the country, just different means of getting there. If Obama wants to give people the mere choice to get affordable health care, that seems like a comfortable leap the country is capable of making. Affordability, after all, is the primary problem. People continually argue that Clinton is more electable, but I have to disagree. In a race where I like both candidates equally, I must choose the candidate that I feel is more electable. I believe this is Obama.

Barack Obama did indeed show great political courage when he came out so strongly against the war in Iraq even before it began. He was a state senator at the time, and knew that opposing the war back then might destroy any chances he had of ever being elected to higher office, including the office of U.S. Senator. It took great courage for him to so strongly express an opinion that could have jeopardized his political career. The Iraq war, you may recall, was popular among Americans at the time (even among Democrats, who believed that Iraq had WMDs) and Obama's choice to speak out against the war was a very rare position for any politician to take, and showed excellent judgment. There are Republicans in the U.S. Senate-- and a few Democrats-- who are preventing us from withdrawing our troops from Iraq. There is also a President, Bush, who will veto any bill that withdraws our troops from Iraq or even sets a timetable for withdrawal. In the meantime, responsible Senators know that, as long as our troops are still there, we can't deprive them of bullets and body armor.

Now that we are already fighting this terrible war that has been so costly in American and Iraqi lives and dollars, Senator Obama knows that we cannot simply pull out of Iraq in a day without endangering the lives of our troops. We must get out troops out of there safely, and, if possible, not leave Iraq in even more of a bloodbath than it already is. This takes time-- but the process will not even begin unless a Democrat is elected President. The right Democrat is Barack Obama, who is the only candidate running for President who can begin the process of restoring our good reputation in the world and prosperity at home. If he is elected President, Obama will get us out of Iraq quickly and has presented a clear time-table for doing this.

I agree that I wish his ads didn't partially clip the quotes this way. However, I would take a look at www.factcheck.org itself for a more complete picture in terms of overall reliability of the candidate's statements and assertions. I would agree that no politician is as pure as the driven snow, but inspecting the debate truthfulness reports, advertising and other reports on the site have Obama with quite a bit fewer misstatements and distortions than Ms. Clinton.
