Girl in Clinton ad now Obama backer
By Times Wires
Published March 10, 2008
BONNEY LAKE, Wash. -- Casey Knowles didn't much like a recent campaign commercial for Hillary Rodham Clinton - even though she's in it as a sleeping 8-year-old. After all, she is about to turn 18 now and is a big supporter of Barack Obama. "What I don't like about the ad is its fear-mongering," Knowles told ABC's Good Morning America Weekend Edition Sunday. "I think it's a cheap hit to take." The Clinton ad aired in Texas before last week's vote and implied a lack of experience on Obama's part. It showed old stock footage of Knowles sleeping in bed. A narrator describes a phone ringing in the White House: "It's 3 a.m. and your children are safely asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?" The file footage was originally shot for a railroad company advertisement. The Clinton campaign bought it from Getty Images.

I really can't believe what i have seen so far with Hillary Clinton or her husband Bill Clinton makes me wonder if he really was nominated fairly. How can they sleep at night constantly plotting have they ever asked God is this what He want.

What will emerge? Probably higher taxes. I'm getting grammar and typing lessons for akonjang for Christmas. Or is that offensive?

Hilary runs the same type of dirty campaign as the Repubs. Put the fear of God in them...cheap shot for someone who is always complaining about the underhanded tricks the "other side" uses. I hope she sees that!

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
