Obama says Clinton's celebrity an advantage

By Jeff Mason 2 hours, 25 minutes ago

EL DORADO, Kansas (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama, who is famous as the most viable black presidential candidate in U.S. history, said on Tuesday rival Hillary Clinton's celebrity gave her an advantage in the crucial, multi-state nominating contests next week.

But the Illinois senator told reporters it was Clinton's own fame as a former first lady and New York senator that gave her an edge in the more than 20 states that on Tuesday vote to determine the presidential nominee in November's election.

"There's no doubt that Senator Clinton has a big advantage going into the February 5th states," he said as he flew from Washington to Kansas.

On the issue that has become the focal point of the campaign -- the economy -- Obama said voters could trust him over Clinton, who has portrayed herself as the best qualified candidate to steer the country out of a looming recession.

"I think they can trust me because I have spent my life trying to bring about economic justice and equity to our economy," Obama told reporters.

Is that the mantra, she has a bigger celebrity, thats why i lost.

Doesn't that mean - I got mine you get yours.

Enough of the born again incumbents who sit on their hands in the Senate and do nothing while promising to change if they get elected to the WH.

People know who he is.

To act like Sen. Clinton has an advantage because of her name, is B.S.
