Problem is: Hillary does not seem to learned an important lesson from Lincoln: "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time...." Maybe she doesn't think she should pay attention to any Republican--which Lincoln of course was.

But she's trying desperately to be all things to all people--hence her pathetic floundering on the immigration issue, and the issue of attacking Iraq, and the issue of attacking Iran, and........

Obama can--and does--take stands.


And as far as Oprah--she deserves a lot of credit---she's a self-made woman, who among other things, is standing up for vital issues--like the important nature of reading--hence her book club. Even if you may not agree that all her book selections are the best literature, just the idea of encouraging people who watch her show to read is wonderfully laudable.

Admittedly she doesn't show the encylopedic knowledge of luminaries such as St. Thomas (Tancredo)--who does?--and therefore may not be acceptable to Rig.
