first, let's be honest, if this was an obama error the hillary campaign would NOT hesitate to go after him. they would be relentless in attacking him without mercy.
now bill is whining about everyone being hard on her..ridiculous! he makes her look weak by doing this whining and also hurting the party (like who is she talking complaining about? democrats?)
concerning her speaking incorrectly...it WAS bad and she should have apologized to obama and the kennedys and not say "if' I offended. joan, you were right, she did misspeak. you are wrong to defend her.
it's ugly but it's POLITICS.
im not a big women' libber, especially not the kind that supports hillary for president, but this article is spot-on.
fear of intelligent women at play here.
as the saying goes, with friends like this...rev. wright, jesse jackson, and now the new yorker magazine, who needs enemies.
sure liberals are nervous and without a sense of humor, as they are saying about the response to the cover drawing. who wouldn't looking at the last oh,too many years? this is not a game. this is about our country having been on the wrong track for too many years and now a possibility of getting back on track before we are totally derailed.
we'll have lots of time for humor and fun AFTER we retake our government and get the country working again.
I very much disagree that the Clintons were pummeled in the primaaries by the Obama group for being racist. I have been big supporters of them for many, long years but no longer. Bill Clinton spoke VERY incorrectly in South Carolina, 'Jesse Jackson won here too'.
They did other insulting things. THEY are not racist but they did things to pander to those who are. Their biggest problems were 1)taking for granted they would win 2)once behind unable to catch up 3) and then trying to break all the party rules to get there own way.
They ended up looking small, petty, jealous and then having the nerve to ask Obama to pay for her debt. Isn't she the one who said, "If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen"?
I just cannot imagine them doingone, singel thing for Obama if the 'tables' were turned.
thank you for writing this. now, how can we be sure hillary (and bill) reads it? all you say is so correct.
if obama looses many of us will never forget the behavior of the clintons and will do any and every thing in our power to make sure they never again hold any important position in the democratic part, appointed or elected.
I'm so tired of hearing/reading the (jealous) right discuss how upset we progressives are about what Obama has done so far.
they don't seem to realize we chose a person we believe in and trust. we now allow him time to do organize, prepare in order to accomplish his/our goals.
we are not as selfish and narrow as assumed. we know he cannot do everything for everyone. we only expect him to do what is best for our people and our country.
