Up until now – the Democrat Primaries have been more a source of amusement than a cause for concern. I have watched the blooming of Hillary’s inevitability wilt beneath the hot rhetoric of Obama’s win after win after win, and I have enjoyed the circus. I have watched Bill’s temper flare and I have imagined the “behind the scenes” raging of a pre-ordained President unable to meet her rendezvous with destiny. I have witnessed the enthusiasm of Hillary For President! fanatics fade away into an almost shamed silence. But – I remember the ruthless politics of the Clinton White House. I remember the personal destruction of Katherine Willey, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and Monica. These women paid a price for being a political obstacle….. and there were many other women who paid a similar price.
Now I also remember others who paid a price for standing in the path of the Clinton Political Borg. Vincent Foster knows what I am thinking. The Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas got in the Clinton’s way. Michelle and Barak Obama are now standing squarely in defiance to the ambitions of Bill and Hillary. I wonder if what I am thinking has ever crossed the minds of either Bill or Hillary? Maybe Hillary could try to blame the “Haters of the Right”, like Bill tried to do with the Oklahoma City bombing… but I suspect the Clinton fingerprints would be far too evident.
“They should worry, I think, because Obama is a very beatable candidate in the general election. Shamelessly liberal and absurdly inexperienced.”
Obama was able to knock off Hillary because he’s the same kind of opportunist. The Dems have swollen their ranks with newly registered “Youth” voters. There is a very good reason most youths aren’t very accomplished, they’re not very experienced, and as I think the rise of Obama shows, they can be easily led.
I’m not expecting Obamas wonderful numbers to hold up much more than a couple of months after Hillary bows out. Too much Preparation not enough H.
Change is NOT a good thing when the wrong things are being changed or the right things are being changed with the wrong solutions.
Barry Obama’s wife said how much better she feels about this country now that her husband is considered a viable presidential candidate.
Attending Princeton didn’t make her feel that she could do ANYTHING in this country?
I could not imagine Clinton riding the OKC boming tragedy to easy re-election in 1995 either. But that is exactly what happened.
No he shouldn’t be worried, we should be worried. This man is dangerous!
A note on my post 38: Just heard Rush say that Sorenson is an adviser to Obama.
“Is Ted Sorensen looking for a job? He made a silk purse out of a sows ear once before.”
History repeats?

I don’t care who you are, that right there is funny!
Glad you liked it.
Let's just say there lives are going to be interesting from this point onwards.
I think Rush said Sorensen is supervising Obama’s speechwriting, but I suspect Obama has no substance to add to the rhetoric.
