As much as I am a partisan for Barack Obama I am in no way disilluioned about a choice between Clinton v. McCain.
This has probably been discussed before and we should remind ourselves of this over and over again. Here is why Hillary supporters MUST vote for Obama if he is the nominee and Obama supporters MUST vote for Hillary if she is the nominee.
So she wants to take credit for her husband's administration. She wants to take credit for any foreign policy achievements during the Clinton years, she wants to claim the national security mantle, and she claims to be fully vetted. She claims there are no more SURPRISES in her and her husband's background. That remains to be seen!!
But who says all the other baggage we know about can't be effectively re-used, re-hashed and re-manipulated for political advantage?
I can just see the Rethugs coming out with a commercial (visuals and all) outlining a string of terrorist bombings that effected U.S. interests, property and persons during Bill Clinton's administration. Shall we list a few here:
1993 - The first World Trade Center bombing
1995 - Attempted crashing of plane on White House
1995 - Oklahoma City bombing
1996 - Khobar Towers bombing - Saudi Arabia
1998 - U.S. Embassy bombings Kenya/Tanzania
2000 - USS Cole Bombing - Yemen
With Hillary as the nominee...it's going to be UGLY!
We wouldn't know it from reading the comments from HRC's choir on this blog, but it is turning out that the media narative give just as equal amount of attention to Hillary's awful and poorly delivered quote attacking Obama.
"I Feel Your Pain!"
William Jefferson Clinton
Here is the story...
This topic was posted by Iconoclast Cat on Daily Kos but thought I'd help spread the word by putting here as well to get the word out.
Here is a link to Mark Halperin of Time with the Obama press release citing examples of Hillary stealing lines from Barack Obama. But unlike Barack, Hillary never got permission to use these lines.
