Why Did Clinton Overlook Obama?

News Type: Opinion — Seeded on Thu Dec 20, 2007 8:04 PM EST

Most neutral observers would agree that Hillary Clinton's response to Barack Obama's rise has been bungled. Over the past few weeks, we have seen her campaign attempt again and again to attack him, only to make itself look foolish. I think the worst moment came last weekend when President Clinton was dispatched to the Charlie Rose Show to trash the junior senator from Illinois. That task was simply beneath a former president. And who did not notice the irony of Clinton arguing for experience over freshness? If any Democrat has parroted Republican talking points this cycle - it was Bill Clinton mimicking Bush-Quayle '92.

2) Obama is the most authentic change candidate among the top three Democrats. Hillary Clinton is not this candidate. Her principal qualification for the job is her role as her husband's advisor - so she was always going to run on the record of the 1990s. John Edwards has positioned himself as a change candidate, but he does not convey the authenticity that Obama does.

Excellent article with some thought provoking points.

She thought he was not black enough and not white enough and not experienced enough and not strong enough and etc enough but she missed the boat will you ???

There came a big flood, and the water
around Bhola's house was rising
steadily..
Bhola was standing on the porch, watching water rising
all around him, when a
man in a boat came along and called to Bhola, "Get in
the boat and I'll get
you out of here. Bhola replied, "No thanks, God will
save me."
Bhola went into the house, and the water was starting
to pour in. So, he went
up to the second floor.
As he looked out, another man in a boat came along,
and he called to Bhola,
"Get in the boat and I'll get you out of here."
Again, Bhola replied, "No thanks. God will save me."
The water kept rising. So, Bhola got out onto the
roof.
A helicopter flew over, and the pilot called down to
Bhola, "I'll drop
you a rope,grab onto it, and I'll get you out of
here."
Again Bhola replied, "No thanks. God will save me."
The water rose and rose, and soon nearly covered the
whole house. Bhola fell
in, and drowned.
When he arrived in Heaven, he saw God, and asked Him,
"Why didn't you
save me from that terrible flood? Did I not show you
my faith?"
With a loving but irritated tone God replied, "What
more would you have
me do? I sent people in two boats and a
helicopter?"
So we see Barack Obama is so many things to so many
different people

why can't all these people just see
its time to get on the boat !
