Media and Obama gang up on Hillary and Bill
[Read the article: Bill Clinton looks backward]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When the media went all gaga over a young, handsome, full of himself, wet behind the ears upstart Barak Obama, they resorted to the same tactless form of comatose journalism that almost crippled the Clinton presidency over Lewinsky. The media then segued into promoting the uniter not the divider George II; looked the other way while George and his fascist neo-cons lined their pockets with public money; led an illegal war in Iraq and bombed the crap out of Afghanistan for the sins of one man. The media continues to be partisan and really is in Business and that is the Business of unchecked American imperialism and world domination. Democracy be damned and lives of Arab / Muslim enemies, better dead. Look at the shameless holocaust of Palestinians on TV and Israel given a free reign of terror in the Middle East.
The media is so propagandist, it makes Goebbles look like an ass scratching school boy. The media is pissed at Bill Clinton. Any why not? Bill is not playing the husband under wraps; Bill is campaigning for his wife with vigor over a preachy, arrogant johnny-come-lately - a poster boy for the media's lazy attempt at raising a Hollywoodized pin up guy to lead the most powerful country in the world. When the handsome starlet fumbles over his lines, and his script does not measure up to anything more than a Sunday sermon, the media and the fresh face candidate inject race into the campaign, after they realize that their coronation has gone awry. Then they accuse the Clintons for injecting race and gender into the campaign.
What is so laughable is that the media is so jacking off on themselves, that they are brain dead on how the Clintons are warding off the gang rape by the media, by right wing conspirators, by misogynist Democrats, republicans and libertarians who have made this country a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.
This Edwards voter, will now vote for Hillary Clinton in the primaries.

If Obama does not learn from history, he is condemned to repeat it
[Read the article: Update: Michelle Obama disagrees with me]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama became a darling of the media because he is young, handsome, without much history (read inexperienced), and full of messianic zealotry that does not take into account the very real divides between the rich and the poor; between conditions for women and conditions for men; between entitlements for the few vs equal justice for all; between secular democracy and theocratic pronouncements; between Democrats and republicans;
If Obama's arrogance prevents his learning from history, he IS condemned to repeat it. And that is becoming more and more evident as Obama's feet are being held to the fire, not by the fawning MSM, but by Hillary and Bill Clinton. The media is not doing its job of digging into Obama's resume and analyzing his pretentions. Instead, they are ready to declare him the Democratic nominee just by virtue of veneer and delusional grandstanding.
It is ludicrous to even try to question or ridicule Hillary Clinton's experience vs overlooking the inexperience of a rather callow and thin skinned intruder who first injected the politics of race in his campaign and then blamed the Clintons for victimizing him. Hillary has more experience in politics and in life, than Obama.
The MSM being the MSM, is still demonizing the Clintons for their various and sundry sins while giving a free pass to George Bush's most egregious of criminal activities. They will continue to spew their vile venom on the Clintons. And herein lies the rub. The Clintons will rise and rise again in spite of MSM, in spite of the right wing conspiracy, in spite of the GOP, because they don't need the media to take their candidacy to the American people. The media has become irrelevant and that's what the media hates about the Clintons.
Nice try, but Obama is not presidential material. Obama keeps his distance from African American leaders who have fought long and hard for civil rights. I wonder what he would do if Martin Luther King was still alive. Would he keep himself aloof from King just so he would not be perceived as carrying the Black man's burden and scaring the white vote off?
