Mary, regarding the Obama republican "good ideas" debate, you wrote that he tried to twist his way out of it and you wrote, "It is not the crime that is horrible, it is the cover up."

Maybe I missed something. What is it that he said that he later "twisted" and what was it that made you label him as trying to cover up?

I watched that debate in SC and Hillary attributed the same "good ideas" statement to Obama, saying something like "I have the quote and I can provide it.

I've seen the quote and if she had the quote she had to have known that her statement was a gross exaggeration.

That was the fact because later in the debate she modified her statement saying something like "I think it could be said that you 'implied' that they were good ideas."

So, unless you can come up with the quotes, the "twisting" by Obama and the "cover up" by Obama, I'll have to conclude that Hillary out and out lied. The fact that it worked, evidently convincing you and others, doesn't excuse it.

What was remarkable was Hillary's lamenting that she had to undergo "16 years" of unfounded attacks by the Republican machine. The same sort of unfounded, twisting, mischaracterizing attacks that's she's leveled against Obama.

And don't get me started on the question of whether she deliberately created the "racial" questions to highlight the fact that Obama is a black candidate and to encourage an over reaction.

Her already thin chances of winning the general election against McCain are dimming rapidly. Ed
