For the first time since I have been on this forum I can truly say thank you to the Obama supporters. I was afraid to even bother coming on, because I figured it was going to be a repeat performance, because of what Penn said, she would be attack on this site, and to my surprise she was not.

I was really impressed, I mean I know that on the CNN and MSNBC blogs they were ripping into her, but allot of that is also caused by people who want to keep the fight in the democratic party alive, because if we stop and talk then potential there is the ability to attempt to resolve our difference, so rarely do I pay those site any mind.

Once again thank you to the Obama supporters for not reading to much into what Penn stated, after all he's still upset that the Clintons moved on and didn't put up a fight after Obama became the party nominee. Bill and Hillary may not be happy, but they are moving forward with their lives and work and have endorsed Obama. Penn is bitter, old and really needs to by a new wig, that one is just so revealling for my taste. So now that he figures he can't beat Obama with the Clintons, he'll simply trash their name as well.

What I took out of this story is that I respect the Honorable Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for not taking his suggestion, and at a cost to her maintained her integrity. The 3 am bit is one thing, but to say Obama does not have American values because of his upbringing is simply wrong, and I am proud of her for holding to her instincts and saying no to those ads.

why do you say that dem in boca? is there something that you share with us (hrc included) that would prove us wrong?

if you don't then please refrain from making an accusation that you have no proof of.

Mark Penn mishandled the message, the money, and the press for Senator Clinton. If I were a Clinton supporter I would be calling for his head. She came into this race with much more money and better voter recognition. Within a month she was behind in delegates and broke. I think she got screwed by her staff. Sadly so did her supporters.

It should also be noted that the majority of Sen. Clinton's (D-NY) remaining debt is to Mr. Penn andor his firm for services rendered. This man deserves nothing. He blew that campaign all to hell, IMHO. Sen. Clinton deserved better than that and was sorely let down by a shoddy campaign strategy.

All true, all true. I'm just happy she did not allow him to run those ads it was just wrong in so many ways.

in my book... I keep telling people... If they supported Hillary... guess who she's supporting.. we support her too.. just look at the platform... We are in this together and it will take all of us to win.
peace,
