Obama campaign wants explanation

Presidential politics in the Magnolia State are getting more interesting after yesterday’s primary results in Texas, Ohio and elsewhere. Who saw that coming? Mississippians vote next Tuesday — March 11.

The Barack Obama campaign plans a press conference this afternoon in Jackson calling for Hillary Clinton to explain a comment she made about Mississippi while campaigning in Iowa. More details from the Obama media advisory:

Jackson, MS – Today, the Obama campaign in Mississippi will hold a press conference calling on Senator Hillary Clinton to explain derogatory statements made about Mississippi.

In October, Senator Hillary Clinton told the Des Moines Register newspaper that “I was shocked when I learned Iowa and Mississippi have never elected a woman governor, senator or member of Congress. There has got to be something at work here…when you look at the numbers, how can Iowa be ranked with Mississippi? That’s not what I see. That’s not the quality. That’s not the communitarianism. That’s not the openness I see in Iowa.”

The Obama campaign will call on the Clinton campaign to explain these remarks and a pattern of dismissing Southern states throughout this campaign.

    someone could you pls explain to Mr. Obama that these people who gave great speeches WALKED THE WALK BEFORE THEY TALKED THE TALK?

    Obama had more than a month to prepare for his democratic speech….in other words, anyone could have done it.

    Obama and his camp can ascertain the kind of questions each state will ask at a debate because they will be questions relative to that particular state, so he can easily PREPARE and rehearse his answers.

    the man brings ZIP to the table. He has no distinct IMPRRINT OF HIS OWN. and while he brags that he voted against the war. Let’s just say he got lucky on the one day he did show up. THE MAN HAS A RECORD OF MISSING OVER A WHOPPING ONE-HUNDRED VOTES IN HIS SHORT JUNIOR TERM IN THE SENATE.

    TO ANSWER THE PHONE, YOU MUST FIRST SHOW UP…..HELLOOOO???

    AND BY THE WAY WHO IS BERNADETTE DORN AND WILLIAM C. AVERY THAT MR. OBAMA REMAINS FRIENDLY WITH?

    AND WHY HAS MR. OBAMA “CHOSEN” TO REMAIN IN A CHURCH THAT IDOLIZES A WHITE-RACE-HATER? WHY WOULD HE ALLOW HIS CHILDREN’S MINDS TO BE SHAPED BY SUCH CHURCH-LEADERSHIP!

    AND WHY DID OBAMA NOT SHOW UP IN LOUISIANA AFTER THEY VOTED FOR HIM. ONLY HILLARY SHOWED UP TO DISCUSS THEIR PROBLEMS.

    IS THIS A WINDOW OF THE MAN TO COME?
    PROMISES TO GET YOUR VOTE BUT DONT DELIVER WHAT HE PROMISED?

    TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN DUPED SO FAR - - ITS TIME DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU WAKEUP FROM A POTENTIAL NIGHTMARE.
