    Hillary talked me out of supporting her

    I used to back Hillary, but that changed after time and again having to endure lame attacks on Obama instead of Republicans . . . and it culminated in this one. It's not the attack, it's the total lazy lameness of it.

    What she should have done is steal Obama's message and state it correctly, make it her own, and champion the truth of American frustration for the last 8 years. What she did was twist it like a Republican.It's disappointing to see someone incapable of seizing a true political moment, instead taking a page out of the Republican strategy book. That's lazy, that's desperate.
