Hillary Clinton is the Democratic version of George W. Bush when it comes to exploiting Americans' fears of terrorist attacks with her empty rhetoric that terrorists would attack America to test a new president. She brings it up in mentioning that Gordon Brown was just assuming his new job as prime minister of the United Kingdom when terrorists happened to attack that country.Sound familiar? Yep, the Clinton's are using a page right out of Karl Rove's play book with his "liberals are weak on terror" bull crap. Now Hillary is pulling that below the belt attack on one of her own Democratic colleagues, Senator Barack Obama. Even if he isn't the best terrorist expert around, (and Hillary is no expert in this field either) this baseless attack on Obama insults his intelligence, that of his supporters and of the American people. This is because it insinuates that he wouldn't surround himself with experts in that field of preventing terrorist attacks.
Terrorists are looking to attack America night and day RIGHT NOW. They're not sitting up in the caves of Waziristan watching the race and crossing their fingers for Obama. As if he'd be such an inexperienced and dumb president that he'd somehow leave all our defenses down. HOW ABSURD.
Obama handled this issue like a true statesmen last night with class and dignity. He answered the question without engaging in her trap, taking the high road. Check out the video:

Excellent response on his behalf!
Is there no limit to the underhanded tactics the Clinton's revert to?
No wonder Rupert Murdoch is a fan of her!
T&A:
Yeah and I have lost A LOT of respect for Bill Clinton with his bullying.
He seems to be on the TV everyday playing the part of the bulldog with extra bite and venom. It's sad to see such a great president get so nasty and full of poison.
You don't see an similar pit bull attack dog on the Obama side. Sure they attack the Hillary camp but not so publicly and with such vitriol.
Well, I didn't see Hillary's comment but I'll have to give it to Obama for a great response and comment on terrorism.
Guess I'm just old and jaded--the "underhanded" tactics and "mudslinging" really don't bother me, regardless of who's doing it. This is politics, girls! Bring on the cage match!

Yeah I don't mind the back and forth too much. It's kind of fun to duke it out.
