Aw - Hillary "Offended" And "Hurt"

Un-freaking-believable. Hillary Clinton's new campaign strategy is to try and play the viktum card as a means of gaining the most powerful office in the world. What is she nuts?

She said she was “personally offended” by the way her statement had been portrayed, and accused Mr. Obama’s campaign of being divisive.

“I was personally offended at the approach taken that was not only misleading but unnecessarily hurtful,” said Mrs. Clinton, Democrat of New York. “And I have made that clear to many people in the last several days.”

Aw, does the would be Madame President has a boo-boo? Give me a break. Overplaying the sympathy card will start to grate even with her primary constituency - older women. And seriously independent women and men? Faggit about it! I can hear Maureen Dowd hammering away at the typewriter already.

Obama's camp isn't backing down. Can you imagine Margaret Thatcher saying something like the above? President and Commander In Chief, Shrinking Violet, I do not think. And the media is likely to point that out at some point, given that this seems to be Hillary's new approach. "Did you cry when you heard it, Senator Clinton?" LMAO "How bad was it for you, dear?"

Asked to whom she was referring, Mrs. Clinton responded: “I think it clearly came from Senator Obama’s campaign, and I don’t think it was the kind of debate we should be having in this campaign.”

A spokesman for Mr. Obama’s campaign, Bill Burton, did not back away from its original criticism of Mrs. Clinton.

“People were offended at her words, and she can explain them however she’d like,” Mr. Burton said. “However, I think that Congressman Clyburn and other leaders across the country would take great offense at the suggestion that their response was somehow engineered by this campaign.”

Prominent black supporters of Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, have been criticizing Mrs. Clinton over her remarks last week that some have interpreted as giving President Lyndon B. Johnson more credit than Dr. King for civil rights law.

She stated it, her words, she owns them.

"It took a PRESIDENT to get it done".

Dowd is one of the few people who have also mastered "yammering" away at the typewriter.
