She's a smokin' crater

An Obama hater

A Clinton race baiter

A roadrage tailgater

With all the single minded grace

Of a bayou alligator.

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT

If you steal rhetorical devices from Jeff Foxworthy.

Newly released White House records demonstrate that Clinton lied about NAFTA.

Clinton biographer Sally Bedell Smith writes in her book "For Love of Politics," her disapproval of the trade agreement was both political and philosophical.

The economic team and other key advisors, including Mack McLarty, Mickey Kantor, and David Gergen, were likewise urging Bill to use his momentum to push or congressional ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)...Liberal Democrats, including Hillary, opposed it primarily because it could take jobs away from American workers.

Carl Bernstein, another Clinton biographer, echoed much the same tale during a recent appearance on CNN.

"'Bill,'" he recalled Hillary Clinton as saying, "'you are doing Republican economics when you are doing NAFTA.' She was against NAFTA. And if she would somehow come out and tell the eal story of what she fought for in the White House and failed in a big argument with her husband she would end up moving much closer to those [John] Edwards followers."

With massive help from the national media, also known as the Gobama Choir, he can't miss. It was amazing how quickly the college crowd fell for the MSM's shallow smears against Hillary. The party itself has been remade before our eyes into a low culture mob; integrity, respect for others, and adult conversation have been replaced by empty rhetoric and name calling. Thanks Senator. Now you can get back to work on your bowling.

He's just like some strange tatersalad

Strung out on crack

Seems like a good mayor, I voted for him. I just worry that he is the next Tommy Carcetti.

One of the worst lapses in judgement that Obama ever had was endorsing Fattah over Nutter. He just missed it, and I think the endorsement was "mailed in" and lazy. Fattah would maybe not even have been a progressive Philadelphian's 3rd choice.

And now he's paying the price, since Nutter has gone with Rendell (and the money he can send this city) in endorsing Hillary.

I believe you are right that Nutter has little "on the street", but Rendell does. Plus, he is a tireless campaigner who really connects with people.

The big mistake may be Hillary overplaying the Rev. Wright card - that could make her most unwelcome in areas like North and West Philly. Maybe it already has. It would also hamstring her greatest asset - Rendell's active presence in Philadelphia promoting her campaign. He's no fool, and will not fall on his sword for the Clintons.

Hillary needs Scranton - Wilkes Barre, as it contains high concentrations of just about every core contstituency she has -white union Dems and large populations of Hispanic voters. That is why Casey's endorsement of Obama is bigger than people think - even if he is less than exciting as a campaigner.

Can anyone point me to who won the delegate race in Texas?

"Hey Joan, Get back to work and stop posting as "lolcait"

that's all. Just a suggestion."

Okay, you know that proverbial movie scene where characters are so suddenly scandalized/tickled/delighted that they spit out whatever they're drinking? It's always struck me as so contrived and implausible. 'Give me a break,' I've always thought.

Until now, when I did just that. Thanks! Brilliant. I am now in love with you AND Xranadu.

I remember well back in 1997, when then-First Lady Clinton rolled a killer 227 on harsh lane conditions to defeat Norm Duke in the Finals of the Hamms Beer Open in Reno.

Wait, no, she watched it on TV. Sorry, I haven't slept much lately.

It's plain to see

Will not vote for Hill-a-ry

Union officials can read contracts, but can they read them to the same degree as a lawyer does?

Further, the contracts they read are employment contracts, which is a different species entirely from contracts which actually have constitutional force and laws.

Obama is a constitutional lawyer, this means that he has by training an understanding of constitutional law superior to that of a layperson, right down to precedents and principles.

Hillary is a corporate lawyer, which though less attractive on a generalist sense, at least means that trade negotiations come with somebody having an advantage in negotiating trade deals. She would also have an edge over a non-corporate lawyer in understanding what tort reform would mean.

This is one of the major selling points to Hillary, she understands corporate law in a time when you have corporations raping America.

They are trained to deal in a legal field which is the field in which the president is most active in a real sense.

Or you could go with the Republican ideology, of hiring people whose main interest in the law is in the narrow needs of business people and actors. This gave America Reagan, Bush Snr, Bush Jnr, and the worst example Delay (An exterminator.)

The main crux in my post was hiring a president who gets the implications of the law because they are trained to seek the loopholes and peculiarities of the laws you already have.

At some point you should read up on the laws President Clinton vetoed and why he vetoed them, and then compare and contrast to GW's "Signing statements."

It is not the "Working class is stupid." It is, you want somebody signing your contracts with the world with a fair degree of knowledge as to those contracts' implications in the rest of the law.

Of course other considerations come into play too, which is why someone being a trained lawyer is a plus not a deciding factor, but it is a plus in the end.

We need a Democrat in the White House and Obama is certainly not my first choice but has to be better than McCain. So I hope I am wrong about what I have recently observed. Since Wright's "God Damn America" speech came to light, Oprah has fallen behind Ellen Degeneras in the ratings and on American Idol the two black contestants got the least votes. I think these two things are very telling of a backlash against Obama. We live in a very shallow country. I don't think Obama will win in November.
