Comments on: Who’s taking the moral high ground: Clinton or Obama? http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/24/who%e2%80%99s-taking-the-moral-high-ground-clinton-or-obama/ Tell Jack how you really feel Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:00:35 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Renee, Calhoun GA http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/24/who%e2%80%99s-taking-the-moral-high-ground-clinton-or-obama/#comment-188866 Renee, Calhoun GA Mon, 24 Mar 2008 21:24:26 +0000 http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/?p=264#comment-188866 Clearly, Obama can claim the high moral ground, and I believe that that is one of the reasons Bill Richardson has endorsed him. The good governor also seems to be trying to stay out of the sandbox fights. Obama has said all along that this entire campaign will be focused on changing the way politics is played in Washington. Both Obama and Bill Richardson have had opportunities to point out Senator Clinton's shortcomings (read amplifications) but have stayed away from sticking their tongues out and shouting- Take that! Mrs. Clinton and her surrogates have not shown the same restraint. Clearly, Obama can claim the high moral ground, and I believe that that is one of the reasons Bill Richardson has endorsed him.

If Richardson is Judas, then I suppose Mr. Clinton plays the role of Christ, and Hillary the role of...Mary Magdalene,from whom Jesus exorcised 7 demons. . . Maybe a few more demons have yet to be exorcised! Clinton has the low ground with the Judas comment. . .

Shame on you Jack, for asking this trick question. You cannot say moral and Clinton in the same sentence and expect to be taken seriously. The Clinton campaign has been throwing rocks and hiding their hands behind their backs this entire campaign. I applaud the Obama campaign for not stooping to such low life tactics as his opponent.
