With all due respect, that posting was just a long-winded way of calling Obama's campaign a fairy tale.
What makes Obama's campaign more of a fairy tale than Hillary's?
For instance, I think a lot of Hillary's experience is a Potemkin village, an illusion that Clinton supporters accept as reality because of a willing suspension of disbelief. Thirty-five years of experience? Really? Can Laura Bush claim thirteen years of executive office experience because she was married to W. when he was a governor and president?
It's strange that Hillary supporters keep claiming that Hillary's experience is what causes them to support her. People were clamoring for her to run ever since she was elected to the Senate - when she actually had LESS experience than Obama currently has -so how can people claim with a straight face that it is her experience that is motivating their support of Hillary?
And what battles has Hillary fought with grit and determination, except for battles for her own self-aggrandizement? What, for instance, has she done to fight the Bush administration for the past seven years?
When I think of the real world, I sometimes think of the welfare recipients who suffer from the consequences of Bill Clinton's welfare reform bill, or people who are drowning in debt because of the Bankruptcy reform bill which Hillary voted for, or families which have lost their sons and daughters in the Iraq War because Hillary Clinton (among others) lived in a fairy tale world where George Bush could be taken at his word.
