Hillary Clinton Accuses Barack Obama of Stealing the Black President Angle from Her Husband |
Washington - Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, whose campaign has been slumping in recent weeks, has lashed out at rival Barack Obama for harping on the fact that he is half African-American, Underneath Politics has learned.
"Senator Obama is using the same campaign strategy used by my husband," Mrs. Clinton said. "And when you look at their family histories, he's not much more of an African-American than Bill."
Senator Obama, now the frontrunner for the Democratic Nomination, was also recently accused of plagiarizing friend, and Massachusetts Governor, Deval Patrick in a campaign speech.
"He's done nothing on his own," Mrs. Clinton said. "He didn't spearhead any legislation while in the Senate; he's campaigning with words like 'hope,' which is the town in which my husband was born, and a big part of his 1992 campaign, and he won't let anybody forget the fact that he's part African-American. Oh, where have I heard that before?" she facetiously finished. |
Mrs. Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, who some consider to be "the first black President," was credited with looking out for minorities in America.
"What does your skin color matter when you will do more for minorities than your opponent," Mrs. Clinton asked. "I'm filled with guilt from years of oppression my people have forced African-American's to suffer through. Barack Obama is not. While said guilt will cause me to pass crazy legislation aimed at giving minorities advantages they have only dreamed of, Senator Obama will say, 'If I can do it on an uneven playing field, so can you.'"
Mrs. Clinton rejects the idea that Senator Obama will aid minorities as President, which his campaign has insisted he will do.
"We don't know what he'll do because he's never done anything before," she contested. "Probably the only thing he's done to aid the African-American community is help out with family chores as a child, and that's not enough, because, as half his family is white, for every two hours worked he was only helping minorities for one. That kind of assistance should not be enough when we're talking about the highest office in the land," Mrs. Clinton rambled, before admitting she knows nothing about the man's upbringing. |
