Thread Name: BS: Obama Wins Debate Moment With Hillary
Subject: RE: BS: Obama Wins Debate Moment With Hillary
Yes.

She has huge negatives--in the country at large, not in the Democratic party--a large visceral feeling against her, both for her own behavior and as a reflection of lingering resentment by many against Bill--and many are not looking forward to a co-presidency of Bill and Hillary, which is predicted if she wins. (Alternatively, she could appoint Bill to the Supreme Court when the first opening occurs, which has also been suggested).

Many people, including many Democrats, are also disgusted at her desperate attempt to be all things to all people--on the illegal immigrant question, the question of attacking Iraq, the question of attacking Iran, etc. She imagines she can do this by straddling the fence on so many issues. All that proves is that she has the delusion she can calibrate the dead political center--and therefore have broad appeal. Wrong.

And the behavior of her staff- kindergarten, cocaine. etc.-- whether or not she then conveniently disowns the staff member in question, is unacceptable.

She is a prisoner of both the 60's and the 90's. Obama is neither--and someone who has taken and continues to take stands.


Obama has pointed out that Hillary has said that campaigning against other Democrats is "the fun part".   As he indicates, this sets the tone for her whole staff.   She already has an "enemies list"--and it seems to include the press, stupidly enough.

It's time for a change. And Hillary is not change.
