Funny - I'm liking Obama more and more
The Clinton camp tries to disenfranchise an entire group of people - people who are natural Democrats who the Clintons should be standing up for - and this Obama's fault? And that group of people - a Union, actually, not a minority group -decides to stand up for themselves by issuing a radio ad calling the Clintons on their disenfranchisement and Obama is playing the race card? Your logic fails me.
Furthermore, Bill Clinton's rational for disenfranchising those voters is the SAME rational used by Republicans in Bush v Gore, thus had they won they would have been giving credence to further Republican disenfranchisement efforts. Having fought those battles on the ground in FL in 2000 and ever since, hearing those words come out of Bill Clinton's mouth disgusts me. The Clinton's would have set us back decades if they won.
And you know damn well, if UNITE had endorsed Hillary there would have been no lawsuit. As Obama's spokesperson said, the Clinton's made the unfortunate decision to disenfranchise Democratic voters and they have to live with that.
As for Bill's "fairy tale" remark, he's the greatest communicator in our lifetime. I adore the man, but I have no doubt he knew what he was saying would cut many ways beyond just Iraq. And whether you like it or not, another entire group of people took offense to it, understanding that he was communicating about more than just Iraq.
And Obama just keeps keeping on. Yep, I'm liking him more and more.
