  "Clintons and the Left

  The Left as represented by Salon, TPM and many Obama supporters, but not Obama himself have a death wish. For most Americans Bill Clinton was the best president since Roosevelt and of course the only Democrat to get elected since Roosevelt. He did this by enacting policies that most Americans support but are anathema to the American Left.

  Now Shapiro, like Rich and Dowd use Republican alleged comments to attach the Clintons. Obama who is at least as centrist as the Clintons and maybe more so alienates Clinton supporters he may find himself serving his third year in the Senate rather than selecting staff for the White House.

  It would be nice of the Left and the Right would leave delusion behind and face reality fully and truthfully."

  And that is an excellent observation which should not take a rocket scientist to decipher. But alas, not the writers here at Salon; Shapiro, Schaller et al. It is disgraceful. Somebody needs to tell these mediocre writers and their shoddy analysis that the world is not coming to an end. We know through their anti-Hillary rants that they have stampeded Obama from any consideration of Hillary as a V.P to a choice they prefer. Now, can Andrea Mitchell take her mouth off Biden's.... and concentrate on Mr. Greenspan?

  I am not so sure what they want from the Clintons. If Obama has not given the Clintons a slot they will be all over him that he has slighted the Clintons and blah blah blah. He gives them a slot and the Clintons are taking over the world and how they will crush Obama's party. Give me a break. You have a Republican party candidate boldly attacking the patriotism of a Democratic party candidate who happens to be black and the media after giving McCain free play on this nonsense does not have the spine to take on Mccain but choose to attack the Clintons on what they will do on Tuesday and Wednesday to Obama? It is the same nonsense they pulled on another Democratic candidate, Kerry by giving free play over and over again to the so-called "swiftboat for the truth" without taking this crap on.

  Let Obama have his convention and stop creating controversy where there is absolutely none. It is Obama and not Clinton who is the nominee, do not belittle him. It is the usual crap the media creates which signifies absolutely nothing.
