Barack Tells Hillary To Put Away The Gender Card

This is easily the best I've seen from Barack Obama:

WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama mocked Hillary Rodham Clinton Friday for playing the gender card -- accusing her of crying "don't pick on me" after her first major campaign setback. In a TV interview, Obama ridiculed Clinton for invoking her sex as a political liability -- saying he won't use his race as a shield and Clinton isn't fit to be president if she hides behind gender every time she's attacked.

"I am assuming and I hope that Sen. Clinton wants to be treated like everybody else," the Illinois senator told host Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today" show early Friday.

Obama scoffed at Clinton's complaint Thursday that she was being forced to "compete in the all-boys' club" of presidential politics. "When we had a debate back in Iowa a while back, we spent, I think, the first 15 minutes of the debate hitting me on various foreign policy issues. And I didn't come out and say: 'Look, I'm being hit on because I look different from the rest of the folks on the stage,' " he said.

"We're not running for the president of the city council. We're running for the presidency of the United States."

Hillary may still win her party's nomination, but her free ride is ending.

"Mr. McClurkin's claim that individuals have sovereignty over their sexuality, rather than vice versa, is particularly dangerous to the gay rights community. After all, the credibility of its whole case rests on the argument that this is not true."

Hillary Supports Illegals Getting Drivers Licenses

After Tim Russert's gotcha moment the other night, Senator Hillary Clinton came out today to wholeheartedly endorse New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's plan to provide drivers licenses for undocumented aliens in New York:

Mrs. Clinton’s statement affirming her support of Mr. Spitzer in his office came less than a day after she offered a muddled and hesitant position on the bill, prompting a round of denunciations by her opponents. It signaled the extent to which her advisers viewed that moment as the biggest misstep she made in the debate, and one with long-term potential to undermine her candidacy.

“Senator Clinton supports governors like Governor Spitzer who believe they need such a measure to deal with the crisis caused by this administration’s failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform,’” her campaign said.

Two-thirds of New Yorkers alone are against this horrible plan, but Hillary is supporting it? The idea that any politician, much less one running for President, would support a plan that assures illegal immigrants of getting drivers licenses without a social security card, is downright scary. And that Hillary would get behind Eliot Spitzer, a Rosie O'Donnell liberal, who has been involved in scandal after scandal since getting elected just last year, while using his governership as a virtual bully pulpit to promote the agenda of far-left wing special interest groups, is even scarier. If the GOP wants to put a big dent in the Hillary bandwagon, they really need to take advantage of this mess.

Sexual Abuse At Oprah's School?

Sexist liberal Oprah Winfrey's girls-only school is embroiled in controversy once again:

(CNN) -- South African police are investigating abuse allegations at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy, the talk-show host's $40 million school for disadvantaged girls near Johannesburg.

Investigators would not say whether the allegations involve physical or sexual abuse, but said no charges have been filed. The academy's CEO, John Samuel, said in a statement earlier this month that an internal inquiry was launched based on a claim of misconduct involving a dormitory parent.

According to an article in The Cape Argus, a Cape Town newspaper, a student said a dorm parent grabbed her by the throat and threw her against a wall. Girls at the school also said the matron swore and screamed at the girls, assaulted them and fondled at least one of them, the newspaper reported Saturday.

The newspaper said one of the pupils ran away from the school, blaming the alleged abuse.

In an emergency meeting with pupils and parents at the school, Winfrey apologized in connection with the incident. "I've disappointed you. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," she said tearfully, according to numerous South African media reports.

Pat Buchanan: GOP Would Lose Soul With Giuliani

I couldn't agree more:

Support for Rudy Giuliani represents a return to liberal Republicanism that would strip the GOP of its hard-won progress on moral, social and cultural issues, warns Pat Buchanan.

In his new column “Conservatism is a Tower of Babel,” the GOP strategist and one-time presidential candidate examines Giuliani’s political record, concluding that the former New York City mayor and federal prosecutor is certifiably a liberal Rockefeller Republican.

He describes Giuliani as a, “McGovernite in 1972 [who] boasted in the campaign of 1993 that he would ‘rekindle the Rockefeller-Javits-Lefkowitz tradition’ of New York's GOP and ‘produce the kind of change New York City saw with ... John Lindsay.’ ”

Buchanan points out that Giuliani ran on the Liberal Party ticket and supported Mario Cuomo in 1994.

“Pro-abortion, anti-gun, again and again he strutted up Fifth Avenue in the June Gay Pride parade and turned the Big Apple into a sanctuary for illegal aliens,” Buchanan writes. “While Ward Connerly goes state to state to end reverse discrimination, Rudy is an affirmative-action man.”

Rudy, Buchanan notes, has attracted “those inveterate opportunists, the neocons, who see in Giuliani their last hope of redemption for their cakewalk war and their best hope for a long war against Islamo-fascism.”

Barack Obama Vows To Get Tough With Hillary

Well, it's about time:

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 27 — Senator Barack Obama says he will start confronting Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton more forcefully, declaring that she had not been candid in describing her views on critical issues, as he tries to address mounting alarm among supporters that his lack of assertiveness has allowed her to dominate the presidential race.

Mr. Obama’s vow to go on the offensive comes just over two months before the first votes are cast for the Democratic nomination, and after a long period in which his aides, donors and other supporters have battled — and in some cases shared — the perception that he has not exhibited the aggressiveness demanded by presidential politics.

In an interview on Friday that appeared timed by his campaign to signal the change of course, Mr. Obama said “now is the time” for him to distinguish himself from Mrs. Clinton. While he said that he was not out to “kneecap the front-runner, because I don’t think that’s what the country is looking for,” he said she was deliberately obscuring her positions for political gain and was less likely than he was to win back the White House for Democrats.

Asked if Mrs. Clinton had been fully truthful with voters about what she would do as president, Mr. Obama replied, “No.”

“I don’t think people know what her agenda exactly is,” Mr. Obama added, citing Social Security, Iraq and Iran as issues on which she had not been entirely forthcoming.

“Now it’s been very deft politically,” he said. “But one of the things that I firmly believe is that we’ve got to be clear with the American people right now about the important choices that we’re going to need to make in order to get a mandate for change, not to try to obfuscate and avoid being a target in the general election.”

It's just funny to me that Barack has waited this long to get "aggressive" with a polarizing, one-term senator with little to no legislative achievements whose leading polls nationwide mostly because of her gender and name recognition. Too bad for Barack his "get tough" stance could be a case of too little, too late.
