I think people give a crap for what the candidates have to say or said. Whether it is Hot Air, Blue Air or whatever. Hillary is desperate and it is starting to back fire on her. It happened to Bill today. Soon it will be her turn. ===================================================== excerpt: .....On Monday, Clinton told the Alliance of American Manufacturing in Pittsburgh: "I believe that people don't cling to religion, they value their faith. You don't cling to guns, you enjoy hunting or collecting or sport shooting," she said. "I don't think he really gets it that people are looking for a president who stands up for you and not looks down on you." Speaking separately to the same group, Obama hit back: "There's been a lot of talk in this campaign lately about who's `in touch' with the workers of Pennsylvania," he said. Clinton and McCain, he said, were "singing from the same hymnbook" in calling him out of touch, but he said that both were hypocrites. "It may be I chose my words badly," Obama said. "But when I hear my opponents, both of whom have spent decades in Washington, saying I'm out of touch, it's time to cut through their rhetoric and look at the reality." Unlike Clinton, who got a cool response, Obama drew applause. kansascity.com

>>The post was indeed from Hot Air. The article itself, reporting on the Obama visit to the Greenberg Traurig firm, was originally printed in Newsday.<< BP - Yes, and even the excerpts from the Newsday article that were used verbatim displayed the distinctive characteristics of a smear. Note how it describes how Obama "quietly slipped" into the offices of Greenberg Traurig. Not to put to fine a point on it, but the story is a load of crap. It's basically all innuendo and character assassination. - Allen
