[Read more letters about this article: Here]If Barack had been involved in national politics as long as Hillary has, and some new younger woman with just 3 years in the Senate were running against him for President, and he had worked with McCain on national defense the way Hillary has, he might have made a similar comment.
You still have not answered my question about how you interpreted Hillary praising McCain who is really really a Republican. Instead you give me your spin on a wole lot of ifs.
You accuse me of not being critical about Obama and here you are defending the most indefensible. It is OK for Hillary to praise McCain at the detriment of her own party; it is ok for Hillary to resort to dirty Rovian attack ads; it is ok for Hillary to support NAFTA and then not support it but her husband makes a shitload of money off of the Columbia influence peddling; it is ok for Hillary to lie about her foreign policy experience. If you are indeed a person who values integrity then these Hillary lies should be a cause of much concern for you. And she did vote for the war on Iraq.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]lumidense gets irritable when we call her bluff. All this saintly shit about integrity and honesty really does not apply for Hillary. Only Obama. I wonder why. These Reagan Democrats really really suck. Thanks god for millions of white women who are openly supporting Obama or Salon would give white women a really bad name.

Now here's a white woman for you on Bill standing by his woman. Has he really sabotaged her from the get go? Methinks YES.

Is it any wonder that women of color never cottoned to the white women's version of feminism? Now we see how far some white women have come. Equality for white women and the rest be damned. Thank the stars there are many intelligent and committed white women who are fighting for social justice for all.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yup. She will slap him as well. Maureeen Dowd watches too many movies. Her references are all Hollywoody and movie plots. But then NYTimes also hired Bill Kristol. Who can we listen to? No one with this band of media pundits.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]The "Moral Majority" was started by Gingrich who was having an affair while he was trying to impeach Bill.
Jerry Falwell coined "Moral Majority," way way before Gingrich took out his contract on America which Bill Clinton happily conceded to the Republicans when he lost Congress after 2 years in office. Clinton moved the party to the right. Check it out.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bill Clinton started his first term with a Democrat majority in the House and Senate. Within the first 100 days he proved that he did not have the courage of his convictions. The Don't Ask Don't Tell after he promised gays in the military; his firing of Lani Guineer after the right wing demonized her relentlessly; his flops in appointing Attorney General and then settling on Janet Reno. He kept caving in to the minority Republican demands. He was triangulating and appointed Reagan speechwriter David Gergen as his communications pooba. He even engaged Dick Morris, the dick of all things decent to run his propaganda machine. Is it any wonder that people lost faith in him? He did not stand up to the bullies. He caved in. And he DID move the party to the right by corporatizing the DNC and the DLC. That is what Hillary is fighting today. The country is taking the Democrats back to their roots of fairness and equal justice for all. Hillary is still beholden to the lobbyists.

Why is Hillary losing?
[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What will a Hillary Clinton presidency look like?
The answer by now seems obvious: It will look like her presidential campaign, which in turn looks increasingly like the first Clinton presidency.
Which is to say, high-minded ideals, lowered execution, half truths, outright lies (and imaginary flights), take-no prisoners politics, some very good policy ideas, a presidential spouse given to wallowing in anger and self-pity, and a succession of aides and surrogates pushed under the bus when things don’t go right. Which is to say, often.
And endless psychodrama: the essential Clintonian experience that mesmerizes the press, confuses the citizenry, confounds members of both parties in Congress (not to mention the Clintons themselves, at times) and pretty much keeps the rest of the world constantly amused and fixated.
Such a picture of Clinton Redux is, by definition, speculation. But it is speculation based on the best evidence at hand: the demonstrable and familiar record of Hillary and Bill Clinton coupled together in Permanent Campaign-mode for a generation, waging a continuous fight on the national political stage since 1992, an unceasing campaign for the White House, for redemption, for their ideas (sometimes) and for themselves (almost always), especially in 2008.

Bill Clinton, China linked via his foundation
[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]IN HANGZHOU: President Clinton gave the keynote address at a 2005 conference organized by Alibaba, hailing the Internet as “an inherently cooperative instrument.”
