'NY Post' Endorses Obama (rips Clinton)
Editor and Publisher ^ | 1-30-08

Posted on 01/30/2008 10:22:59 PM PST by STARWISE

Rupert Murdoch's New York Post had been, at least off and on, surprisingly kind to Hillary Clinton for quite some time -- she is a home state U.S. Senator after all.

That ended today when on its Web site (in print tomorrow) it endorsed Barack Obama in next week's key primary, and used some of its usual colorful language in doing it.

*snip*

His opponent, and her husband, stand for déjà vu all over again - a return to the opportunistic, scandal-scarred, morally muddled years of the almost infinitely self-indulgent Clinton co-presidency.

Does America really want to go through all that once again?

It will - if Sen. Clinton becomes president.

That much has become painfully apparent.

Bill Clinton's thuggishly self-centered campaign antics conjure so many bad, sad memories that it's hard to know where to begin.

Suffice it to say that his Peck's-Bad-Boy smirk - the Clinton trademark - wore thin a very long time ago.

Far more to the point, Sen. Clinton could have reined him in at any time. But she chose not to - which tells the nation all it needs to know about what a Clinton II presidency would be like.

That counts for a very great deal....

A return to Sen. Clinton's cattle-futures deal, Travelgate, Whitewater, Filegate, the Lincoln Bedroom Fire Sale, Pardongate - and the inevitable replay of the Monica Mess?

No, thank you.

The Post is playing the Enemy of My Enemy card. The Post is fiercely Republican.

"Murdoch flips .. BIG time."

No. He's a Brit-o-phile. Big London business wants Obama to win.

Not to mention perjury, impeachment, nuclear secrets sent to China, utter failure to take action against terrorists, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Ron Brown, Vince Foster, etc....

Could be something’s really stirring here.

The post from last week that MAY be at
the bottom of the current negative Clinton
stories:

***

“well here is what I was told.........remember when Patrick Kennedy was elbow to elbow with the Bloviator Hugo Chavez asking for oil for NE poor. Seems there was a plan for the Kennedy’s to get cash windfalls puttin’ it in place.

Well , while no deal was done, it was gonna and Bill Clinton OR an associate ( source ain’t yet sure) told TED this would be leaked to the news conspires if TED did not support Hillary and “bring the posse”.

That dog won’t hunt, they hate each other TO DEATH.

Then Owanna got roots with his campaign and winning results and well...... new strategy......do not do the oil for poor and then Bill got stupid and played the race card poorly.

The real internals( he said) now say Hillary is hanging on with a thread and one more screw up and she falls to an avalanche.

Well the willing media leak receivers did get the story
but it ain’t got hard meat and only exposes the democrats
but Bill keeps lieing about Owanna and those who media/drive the news are sick of the race card and being seen as carrying Bill’s lies like Kiki ( not yet sure who she is)

He said powerful newsies were in conference calls mad and
decided the Clintons can get SCREWED.........

Carolyn was sent first as the soft face of the Camelots.....oops , Kennedys.......

Lastly, he said there is an underto(n)e of heavy support in the party now for Owanna”

With all the major endorsements going to Obama, people are really taking their lives in their own hands. Can you imagine the hildabeast’s wrath if she wins. Remember, this is the most vindictive evil witch to ever cover-up a death/murder and there have been many.

Probably just business as usual
for him, but Murdoch has even
had a fundraiser for her.

"What’s their reason?"

..."empire." They're socialists. Even the farmers there are socialists. They want a new empire in that context.
