Two New HRC Ads

"True," on Obama and his thin tenure as chairman of a subcommittee on Afghanistan.

and "Partner," on Hillary Clinton and the Middle Class. (my caps).

If you are an OHIO Obama supporter I urge you to find Bill Clinton at a public press rally and display a large white sign with black letters which reads "SHOW US YOUR TAX RETURNS" and heckle the former president in the most polite way - "If you want our vote why doesn't the candidate release her tax records" and "promise the voters right here and now that your tax records will not reveal anything which fair minded Ohioans deserve to know before the election. This will have the potential to frame the evening news cycle and bring Clintons biggest negative back to the voters minds - EXACTLY WHO ARE THEY VOTING FOR AND WHAT IS BILL GOING TO BE DOING MOST AFTERNOONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Good to see the McCain Focus Group/HRC campaign is making more attack ads, I mean how else could Johnny McMaverick overcome his fundraising deficit.

He's NOT chairman of 'a subcommittee on Afghanistan.' No such subcommittee exists! He is chairman of the subcommittee on European affairs. You should print a correction...

While I think it is fair to point out Obama's thin oversight of his committee, just what the heck has Hillary been doing the last year in the Senate? Hell, what has she done over her entire term in the Senate? At least Obama has an ethics reform bill to his credit. What major piece of legislation has she championed? Where is this "experience" I hear so much of?

I love seeing Obama supporters get hysterical every time Obama is attacked or criticized. It reminds me of the reaction one gets if one were to criticize Mylie Cyrus to an 11-year-old girl.

If it's fair to bring up a 6 year old vote that Hillary cast (and Barack never did) than it's fair to bring up Obama's role as chair of an important sub-committee right now.

Clinton is the hysterical one - she will be routed and then she will cry. This long campaign has shown the true mettle of Obama, while Hillary has displayed her inadequacy to conduct a national campaign. She is weak; she seems to use Rove's tactics. That's desperation.

Compare Obama's response in the Clinton ad to the original debate video (@ approx 4:40).

Obama's complexion is about five shades darker in the Clinton ad.

First of all, Muzhik is right. Here is a list of the subcommittees for the committee on foreign relations: http://www.senate.gov/general/committee_membership/committee_memberships_SSFR.htm

Secondly, if he has been such an embarrassment as the chairman of this subcommittee, why have two senior members of the foreign relations committee, Dodd and Kerry, endorsed him for President? They, of all people, should know how important this issue is, and apparently, they don't think it's much of an issue.

Didn't she say one reason she hadn't released her income taxes yet is because she was too busy with the campaign?

And if meetings of this subcommittee were so obviously vital, why has she waited so long to bring this up?

HRC as the President for the "middle class" is laughable. Her tax returns could show us how middle class she is.

an important sub-committee

Just how important is it, moron?

He is the chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Subcommittee on European Affairs: http://www.senate.gov/~foreign/subcommittee.html.

You may want to forgive him for not having the European Affairs subcommittee holding hearings on Afghanistan, which is not an European country.

These are effective, fair, hard-hitting ads. Hillary is on her way to an historic comeback. YOU GO GIRL!

By the looks of the people in her ad, they're certainly not starving in Ohio...there's more chins than a Chinese ph...ah, you know what I mean.

No, Afghanistan is not in Europe. (Oddly and irrelevantly, part of Kazakhstan is!) But the war in Afghanistan, unlike the war in Iraq, is a NATO war, and this subcommittee should look at NATO's activity in Afghanistan. That's the reason this issue keeps coming up for Obama.

Is everyone in Ohio fat?
