    @Kate--ClintonCanDoNoWrong--Tex

    You crowed:

    "Ha!

    Smears are never attractive, but it's hard to work up much sympathy for the Obamas, given their recent thorough trashing of the Clintons accomplished through innuendo, memo, falsehood, omission, and sneer. As they say - what goes around, comes around. Guess it's Mr. & Mrs. O's turn now, huh?"

    Regardless of which side of the Democratic party (or other party)you're on, why whould you take such GLEE and PLEASURE at such unmerited smear tactics of any candidate?
