Obama Flip Flopping and other comments
Clinton Conference Call -Sunday February 17th
Howard Wolfson and Phil Singer and the Clinton people say that Obama
is flip flopping on taking public financing. He is backing away from
a specific promise. This is not the first time that he has done this
in his political life. In primaries he runs on promises and then does
not deliver on it. A reporter said that it was not a specific pledge
but the Clinton campaign quotes Bill Burton from the campaign as
saying he would. Clinton campaign quotes a Common Cause questionnaire.
They say he has broken a commitment. " here is a promise that he is
breaking right before our very eyes" Senator Clinton will assess the
situation on public financing when the situation comes. That would
have been fine for Senator Obama. He took a specific position and then
decided to renege on it. It is fair for voters to ask for someone does
not have a long history, it is fair for people to look at his
promises. Does oratory and promises deliver results?
Obama has taken money from people who work in special interests and
companies. If he is interested in not having special interests and he
still takes contributions from people that hire those lobbyists. Once
again you hear great speeches from Senator Obama that are not backed
up by the facts.
Impact on future contests-- they do not believe that momentum is the
driver of actual votes
Senator Obama had momentum and lost many of the big states. Among rank
and file Democrats people are enthusiastic. Senator Clinton would be
the nominee of a united party. We believe that we will have 2025
delegates and we will be the nominee.
Our expectation will achieve the result to put Senator Clinton on the
road to the nomination. We have asked our delegates to seat Michigan
and Florida. Over two million people voted in those elections.
Health care- facts are crystal clear- Obama has used Harriet and
Louise tactics to attack our health care plan when he leaves fifteen
million people out.

Based on latest reports, HRC has gone on full DefCon mudsling mode.
But at the moment, the best her oppo people can do is that Obama-rama is taking public money when he said he wouldn't (Shock Headline: Washington Politician a Hypocrite), and this latest: that Obama is guilty of plagiarism for misappropriating Massachusetts' Governor Deval Patrick's campaign slogan. (Shock Headline: All Who Shout 'Remember the Alamo' Required to Pay Royalty to Estate of John Wayne.']
While Obama is no more than a shrewd politician exploiting the more constructive sides of racial pride and white guilt, HRC and her capos from New York's sixth crime family, the Clinton-binos, had better come up with something better than this if they expect Obama to "take to the mattresses."
Of course, they will. The Dem Convention is all about Superdelegates and those 900 FBI files are about to prove real handy.
