An Ironic Thing Happened on the Way to the Coronation
The New Media Journal ^ | January 15, 2008 | AJ DiCintio

Whether you describe it with the sophistication of “karma” or the down-home quality of “chickens coming home to roost,” it’s a fact that Irony has finally decided to turn his attention to the Clintons. And let’s be clear: Only The Ancient One (he was born the moment Adam and Eve ruined the perfection of the Garden) could have created Barack Obama as the perfect headache for Hillary and Bill.

Following are some details in support of that assertion. However, before they are listed, we should remind ourselves that Irony rarely causes anything to happen simply to be ironic but almost always to teach us a lesson — a truth great creative spirits have known since antiquity.

So, with that thought in mind consider the following:

Barack Obama lacks the “experience” of the typical presidential candidate. Yet this “weakness” reminds the electorate that Bill and Hillary never used their “vast experience” to educate the nation about and retool government institutions in response to terrorist attacks conducted against America nearly every year of their administration. They didn’t work indefatigably on a creative health care plan; instead, they cut and ran from health care after their bureaucratic monstrosity failed. They never took on the nation’s “free” trade problem. They never proposed creative solutions to the nation’s energy problem. They never initiated a national discussion about the catastrophe facing Washington’s entitlement programs. They had not a word to say about the border/immigration mess.

Thanks to FRiend mad_as_he$$, I'm seeing a big hug between Hillary and Obama, with Obama emerging as Veep—and the Dims becoming totally unbeatable.

To: Does so
Hillary and Obama probably will bury the hatchet and run on the same ticket, since they don't have any real policy differences between them. But that hardly makes them unbeatable.

They will be: Left and Lefter

What's so unbeatable about that?
