...Nice Try A-Hole!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she must respond in kind to attacks from rival Barack Obama even though she'd rather keep the race for the Democratic presidential nomination focused on their differences on public policy issues.
"I try not to attack first, but I have to defend myself — I do have to counterpunch," Clinton told NBC's "Today Show."
"I took a lot of incoming fire for many, many months and I was happy to absorb it because obviously, you know, I felt that was part of my responsibility. But toward the end of a campaign you have to set the record straight," the New York senator said.
Clinton, Obama and their campaigns have exchanged increasingly hard-hitting jabs in recent days over race, his relationship with a Chicago developer, her vote on the Iraq war, and other issues. Clinton stopped airing a South Carolina radio ad critical of Obama on Thursday and Obama took down his radio response in an attempt to cool the angry public spat.
"I have tried to make it clear that this election has to be about the future," Clinton said. "It is perfectly legitimate to draw comparisons and contrasts. I think both Senator Obama and I have made it clear we do want to focus on what we each would do for our country. It has been obviously an incredibly intense campaign. ... But I do want to make it clear that our campaigns have to stay focused on what you know the legitimate differences are so we can give voters information."
NBC also aired an undated photo of Sen. Clinton and her husband, former President Clinton, posing with real estate developer and fast-food magnate Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who faces trial next month on federal corruption charges. During a Democratic debate Monday, Sen. Clinton referred to Rezko as a slumlord from whom Obama has accepted thousands of dollars in campaign contributions over the course of his career.
"I don't know the man, I wouldn't know him if he walked in the door. I don't have a 17-year relationship with him," Clinton said Friday. "There is a big difference between standing somewhere taking a picture with someone you don't know, haven't seen since, and having a relationship."
Clinton was asked about the backlash against Bill Clinton, who has repeatedly criticized Obama's campaign.
"There's been a lot that's been said on both sides and some of it has been kind of generated and certainly stoked. That all needs to just calm down and everybody needs to take a deep breath," Sen. Clinton told CBS' "Early Show."
Her husband, she said, "gets excited, gets really passionate about making the case for me."
Clinton's Republican rivals have also stepped up their criticism of the former first lady, whom they view as the mostly likely Democratic nominee. At a GOP debate in Florida Thursday night, Arizona Sen. John McCain said she wanted to raise "the white flag of surrender" in Iraq and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney derisively referred to her as "General Hillary Clinton."
"I don't worry about that because I think we're putting together a coalition of Democrats, independents, even Republicans who are very much disappointed with the policies of the Bush administration and the approaches taken by the Republican candidates," Clinton told NBC. "In fact, we know that whomever is nominated by our party will be subjected to the same kind of withering attacks, but what is great is that those attacks are so old. It doesn't reflect what's happening in our country today."

(Only an uncultured pickaninny--like yourself--believes that somebody "just happens to take" a picture with the President and his wife.
You are backing some racist crooks and you need to stop |

(See. This is why Black people are in the shape they are in.
Have you ever even been to a political dinner, fundraiser affair? Of course not. The question is ridiculous. It ain't in no way like bein' no CLUB--you are with a highly selected group that has been screened and is there by invitation--usually because you know these people are going to be good for donations or support
I tell you one thing--you are proving to me that no sane person could back the Clintons. |

You think if they had any evidence of what you say, you think they wouldn't have produced it by now???
I don't know no fundraisers but I know the attack dog media. And there's no doubt in my mind that the folks at THE DRUDGE REPORT of all places would have found that info if it existed.
You Obamanazi’s are reaching for straws!

And nobody's talking about donations either. Anybody can donate to a candidate. Barack was caught RED-HANDED doing business, slumlord business, with this man, there's a BIG difference, homey.

What I tell you!?!
Mr. Rezko, who was once a major fund-raiser for Senator Barack Obama, Mrs. Clinton’s top rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, has never donated money to either President Clinton or Mrs. Clinton, records show.

A photograph of Antoin Rezko, an indicted Chicago businessman, standing between Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton, which surfaced on NBC’s “Today” show on Friday, might have been taken at a 1997 fund-raiser in Chicago for former United States Senator Carol Moseley-Braun, political insiders say.
...
According to the 1997 story in the Chicago Tribune, both Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton attended the fund-raiser for Senator Moseley-Braun on June 25, 1997. And the next day, records show, one of Mr. Rezko’s companies donated $10,000 to a state Democratic party organization that was supporting Ms. Moseley-Braun, records show.
