Don't blame San Francisco for Obama's "Bittergate"

Candidates pander to wealthy donors in every city, not just mine!

    @ASylvan

    I agree. What's frustrating, and revealing, is to compare Salon's almost complete avoidence of the Bosnia incident, and then to let Hillary off the hook completely ("I don't think she actually lied...she remembered she misremembered" to quote Walsh) vs. the treatment accorded Obama on this issue. Bringing it up repeatedly, giving it the name "Bittergate," not taking a stand on what Obama actually meant. The whole slant is very obvious, and, as you point out, most readers are acknowledging that.
