Obama Backers Attack Clinton for Exaggerating Dangers of Bosnia Trip
FOX News ^ | March 25, 2008 | Associated Press

Posted on 03/25/2008 2:44:50 AM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton had the Democratic presidential campaign trail to herself, but the camp of vacationing rival Barack Obama challenged the former first lady on her claim to have landed in Bosnia 12 years ago under sniper fire. Clinton characterized the episode as a “misstatement” and a “minor blip.” Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a written statement Monday that her story “joins a growing list of instances in which Senator Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policy-making.”

Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson countered that the Obama campaign was only raising the issue because “they have nothing positive to say about their candidate.”

Now is the time to get dirt out as the MSM doesn’t know yet what story line to follow as the unfavorable stories are bubbling to the surface. If this continues till the convention with increasingly more and more unfavorable stories coming to light it can only help J Mc.

Having said that, this is exactly how an election for president should go. It wouldn’t have to go this long if we had a media that did its job and plumbed the depths of the candidates character AND positions responsibly.

The Audacity of Lies. How many is that now...2 million? Can Hillary ever be confronted on...at least 10?

Propagandists must have been getting overtime pay covering for this PATHOLOGICAL POS LIAR.

...and I don’t even have to mention her pig.

Hooray Obama backers!

The headline says she, "exaggerated." She didn't merely exaggerate, she made up details from whole cloth---this is a major work of fiction, 'running, ducking, covering our heads, being shot at with enemy missiles...'

Sir (Edmund) Hillary has done this routinely throughout her life and it reflects a very real characterological flaw.

A simple recount, without embellishment, of all her lies (as reported in the MSM) would be devastating to her political future---who will do it?

Commonplace for a born liar.

LOL! More chaos fallout from Operation Chaos!

The problem the Clintoon’s have is that they wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit them in the A$$. Amen.

Of course, Obama has every right to criticize his opponent for lack of foreign policy experience. After all, he told us that he lived in a foreign country for a couple of years as a child and that makes him an expert.

That's not true! He's been a member of the same church for twenty years!

That's because when the truth is about to bite them in the tuckus, the lips of someone from the media are there providing protection.

Isn’t that the dumbest comeback to say when your candidate gets caught lying. My goodness you would think he could of said something better then that.

The only thing like about Obama is that he knows how to fight like a Clinton. Surrogates responding, getting the word out yet he is still able to distance himself.

I would have liked for this to have waited. I want her to do well in PA and the next few states to continue the “Democratic Delema”. But something like this is hard to spin. CBS is on the OBAMA train and is now going after it. Expect the Late Night Shows to parody it.

This is the break Obama has been waiting for.

Can Clinton counter with Resko or Weathermen? I’m still waiting for those stories to break on Obama.

McCain needs all the help he can get. While he is not my 1st choice, of the three left, he is my ONLY choice.

It's just amazing to me that the msm won't cover for her on her lies anymore.

That's one thing Conservatives have over dims is that they've known for years they aren't allowed to play the game like dims do.

Minor blip?

Oh Lawsy, lawsy, lawsy...

Sometimes profanity is just too weak.
