Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!
Young women are growing increasingly frustrated with the fanatical support of Barack and gleeful bashing of Hillary.
By Rebecca Traister [2008-04-14]

  • I have not had the "bitch" complaint

    "Be honest: has anyone in the US at this point not had this exact same conversation? I, too, find myself constantly defending Clinton against an unending stream of mindlessly and appallingly sexist attacks."

    I have never, not once, not ever, heard a person call Hillary a bitch. Maybe it's because of my age (56) or my circle (rational people of about my age), but no one, not a single person, has used the bitch word.

    They are concerned about her electability, which is a serious problem. They are concerned with her connections to Bill, which are a total turn-off to most Democrats that I know. The "luster" of the Clinton years is pretty tarnished right now, since he sold the Democratic Party down the river to get re-elected. That's what most people are concerned about.

    And what's amazing is that Hillary keeps coming up with Clinton program retreads. She's not even TRYING or PRETENDING to be independent anymore. Yesterday, she proposed re-invigorating the 1000 new cops on the street. I never liked that program anyway, since those cops are giving out speeding tickets to me. But it's another re-tread Clinton program.

    I don't want 4 more years of Bush. I also don't want 4 more years of Bill.
