Obama Calls Clinton Allegations “Ludicrous”

Senator Barack Obama told reporters on a conference call today that Hillary Clinton’s accusations that his campaign was trying to “deliberately” mislead the public about her comments on Martin Luther King, Jr. were “ludicrous.”The conference call was set up to showcase new endorser, Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO), but when the call was opened to questions, Obama was asked by a reporter about Clinton’s comments on Meet the Press this morning, during which she spoke further about the Obama camp’s attempt to distort her comments.

Obama responded incredulously, “This is fascinating to me. I mean, I think what we saw this morning is why the American people are tired of Washington politicians and the games they play. But Senator Clinton made an unfortunate remark, an ill-advised remark, about King and Lyndon Johnson. I didn’t make the statement. I haven’t remarked on it and she, I think, offended some folks who felt that somehow diminished King’s role in bringing about the Civil Rights Act. She is free to explain that, but the notion that somehow this is our doing is ludicrous. I have to point out that instead of telling the American people about her positive vision for America, Senator Clinton spent an hour talking about me and my record in a way that was flat out wrong.”

You enjoy stirring this stuff up?

Tabloid Journalism's finest source!

You know what they say in Ohio.......................Here, I'll tell ya.

"A fox smells it's own hole" It makes sense to me. Share the facts along with me.O8)

So sad.

Why not address the meat of the issue instead of the source. Instead it is "attack the messenger". blah blah blah.

And I loathe Fox Noise, and I figure their evil owner is delighted to have good folks like us on DU fighting about it.

Clear now?

He deserves it though. It's kind of sad that he can't just shut up and take the higher ground. Does he really think this is going to endear him to anyone but the Obamabots?
If he had been an adult about the comment and taken it in the context it was made, he could have countered intelligently about the value of inspiration and Martin Luther King's greatness. But no, he has to pander to the basest of his Hillary hating supporters and stir up a little racial hatred.

Apparently, Hillary made the terrible error of pointing out that civil rights were brought about by the joint efforts of blacks and whites in this country.
Obama would rather cause a some racial tension in order to make another candidate look bad. Seems to me he is far from the "uniter" he says he is.

More like Bush ever day....devide, make hatred, instill suspicion.

haha got to be kidding it was deliberate in order to stir up tension. shes slime
