It's amazing to see how the Hillary/Bill repetition of "Obama loved Reagan's policies" has actually taken root with so many people despite the fact that those words were NEVER uttered at all.

The power of a smear.


While many on this thread focus on how good Rove was at it, the Clintons have never shied away from it as well.

That poll I linked showed Bill at a 57% approval rating. I would love to see a similar poll today. Hillary was doing much better as the front runner where they could keep their pit bull mentality out of the spotlight. This few weeks wont serve them well in the general election.

Yup. At least it was original and they didn't claim that Obama had fathered a black chil........er, I mean white child.
