  Disingenuous Edwards

  It's convenient for Edwards to forget that both him and Obama were attacking Clinton in November. Their 2-1 punch gave Obama the opportunity to really push his "change" message. It bothers me Hillary didn't point that out.

  But really, Edwards is super-disingenuous when he claims Clinton is the status-quo (his tv appearances), while they are change.

  Status-quo literally would mean, "unchanged from George W. Bush". Is he really comparing Hillary to Dubya? The dumbest, most moronic, most simple, most incompetent, most ideological president we've ever had?

  Any of these candidates would be sweeping change to the White House. And Hillary better start pointing that out more emphatically. It doesn't serve her well to let Edwards and Obama define her that way, and shame on them for comparing her to the status-quo. That's despicable.

  And another emphatic point she might make is that do we want a president who functions more like a TV-host, rather than a president? If we need someone to inspire, then let's get Ryan Seacrest as president. We've already had a president who stages PR stunts, who "inspired" us to kick arab ass. What is Dubya more at this point than a PR host, showing up for important events?

  I want someone who can navigate the various agencies with intelligence and start multiple balls rolling to create an effective government again. What has Obama done in that manner? His experience is in giving speeches, in organizing lawyers and the Law Journal. All hat, and no cattle.
