A Perennial Press Opera

Sen. Clinton is not the most qualified to do anything or to clean up after anyone except Bill Clinton.

The Republican Party has controlled presidential politics and the lever of power over the Executive Branch of Government ever since mid-way through The Clintons' second term in the White House with a broad-based coalition of REPS and INDS.

That offended and embarrassed majority will never, ever let Bill Clinton get anywhere near The White House again under any circumstances whatsoever, even and including to "supposedly" clean up after another Bush. It just will never happen....
...and Hillary is so obviously just trading on her husband's experience now that his henchmen have taken over her campaign. She doesn't get to think or even campaign for herself and will be nothing but a figurehead, like Queen Elizabeth presiding over the 2nd Bill Clinton Administration.

And before you say that wasn't so bad; let me remind you how tough they were and what their "solutions" got us DEMS.

.....why even think about taking that kind of risk for two people who delivered us NAFTA, "Don't Ask/Don't Tell", The Gingrich Welfare Reform Act, the Prison Industrial Complex with its mandatory sentences in the Clinton Crime Bill, and an entire litany of half-baked apples posing as "Solutions" that in most cases, have only exacerbated the problems these "triangulated compromises" were supposed to resolve.
The Dot.com boom is over and Robert Rubin & Alan Greenspan aren't coming back either to manage the economy while The Clintons scheme and cut deals to stay in power and protect their own approval ratings.

I am a risk management professional; and if ever the potential downside does not justify the potential gain; it is the HRC Presidential Ambition; unless of course your on the payroll or expect to be.

"Why jeopardize the entire DEM Congressional contingent, particularly in red and purple states, when there is an option that would achieve the exact opposite effect and possibly help grow the Congressional majority, into Obama'sbworking majority for change.

This is what The Clintons are jeopardizing with every attack of Obama; and they know it.

They would prefer a loss like they did 4 years ago, in order to stay relevant with HRC in the wings as the eventual Party Savior whenever we come to our senses. Think that's a stretch?

Well, do you remember Bill Clinton campaigning this hard for John Kerry to save us from the last 4 years; or do you remember him chummig it up with the entire Bush Clan at their Presidential Libraries giving that REP dynasty much needed credibility and softening the Bush brand?

Say "No" to a Clinton-led National Ticket with the strong possibility of an embarrassing defeat erasing the DEM House majority balanced against the potential upside of 4 more years of brokered, "triangulated" legislative deals with REPS/CONS that The Clintons pass off on us as progress

Hope and Change:

Senator Obama runs on the ???Hope and Change??? message because he is short on experience. He has a 20-year record of public service compared to Senator Clinton???s record of 32 years. Senator Clinton also served as an experienced assistant to President Clinton in the Whitehouse for eight years. It can be said that Senator Clinton is running on the ???Hope and Change with Experience??? message. We all have ???Hope??? for our future and want ???Change??? for the better for the current political and economy system. Senator Obama is only a junior senator aspiring to the highest office in the country. . Senator Obama is part of the system just like other candidates. Senator Obama has also been supported by lobbyists and has had a political machine just like his opponents. He is trying to portray himself as a uniter but he attacked Senator Clinton first in a debate by bringing up the charge that she was working on the Board of Wal-Mart while he was doing public service. After wooing his supporters with the ???Hope and Change??? message, Senator Obama now interjecting a reality check by saying that he knows how hard it is to change the system as if to prepare for failure to change it. Senator Obama is a veteran politician who tells his supporters what they want to hear: the same charge he levels at his opponents. In a speech in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on February 16, 2008, Senator Obama said that ???change only comes from below??? and that ???change does not come from above.??? If so, what he is running for the highest office in the country for?

Iraqi War:

This is President Bush???s war from the beginning. Based on the information available to her at the time, Senator Clinton decided on a reasoned judgment (her own words) and voted to authorize the president to use military force as the last resort against Iraq after exhausting all diplomacy means and after allowing UN inspectors to do their jobs in Iraq. The whole country was misled by Mr. Bush and his administration anyway with dubious intelligence. Senator Obama did not vote on this issue because he was not in the Senate then and later claimed that he was not sure how he would have voted on it. However, he liked to say that he was right about the war without adding that he was right about it as an Illinois legislator, not as a US senator who had to vote on the issue. As far as voting record on the war goes as a US senator, he voted like Senator Clinton on continuing to fund the war. Senator Obama is a veteran politician with all the complicated political trappings. Please listen to him carefully and watch out for inconsistencies after you are swept over your feet by his charisma and sweet talk.

Florida will go republican and history says no one in a long time has won without carrying Florida or Texas and I'm sure Texas will go republicans again.

As an Obama supporter and someone who has respect for Hillary, I have a sad feeling that those of you are stating that becauset Obama gets mostly positive coverage are what he refers to as the "chorus of cynics". And as he mentioned in a now well- known speech- "They [you} will only grow louder and more disonant." Most of the statements seem to be by people who have carefully investigated both candidates. I fervently read most articles that I can find on this race and I have heard both candidates discussed in positive, neutral and negative overtones pretty evenly, respectively. If your chosen candidate WAS being favored by the media unfairly (remember only a month ago Obama was considered at true underdog)- I again have a sad feeling that you would have no problem with it. Ever consider that maybe- the positive coverage is because he is a positive candidate running a positive race?

Why are they waiting until Obama is in office to dig up the dirt. We need to start now. So that the naive people of the US wake up and realize that he's simply full of hot air. A figment of his own imagination. Simply smoke and mirrors. It won't be the superdelegates who determine this nomination... it will be the morons in the press.

I argue with one statement in the article, that the press swooned over Bill Clinton in the beginning. I recall one TV reporter covering the transition before Clinton was inaugerated saying it already looks like a failed presidency.

It is true there is a double standard with Hillary and Obama. They HAVE given Obama a fee ride without question and without questioning anything he says, without challenging his rhetoric. You can bet that if the only thing Hillary was talkinig about they would be throwing her to the wolves for not having enough substance. Why are we that surprised? There has ALWAYS been a double standard for women and men. Women have to be five times better than a man to be considered for anything and in this case Hillary's resume is 500 times that of Obama's. Let's callit what it is: pure sexism.

I am so tired od Hill crying over everything. If you thought that you are the better person think again. If she get the non I will surely go rep. Will somebody tell her to take her ball and go home. She is losing because people are tired of the same old same oh. She has repeated her self over and over. I reither hear someone else words than to hear her keep on whinning

I think the hyperbole about all the candidates needs to be deflated a little, in favor of a more clear-eyed assessment of the options and the possibilities. Obama is neither an empty suit nor a bomb throwing radical, nor is he the second coming. He and Hillary have a lot in common, as this really outstanding piece from the Nation back in 2006 observes. As a Dem myself I urge you all to take a deep breath and give it a read: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20060626/sirota
