Barack Obama's Campaign Difficulties, from A to Z
A is for ''an Academic'', is he too much of one? And does this mean he's unable to have down-home fun? B is for ''too Black or not black enough,'' is he the former or the latter, and If we've transcended race, does it really matter? C is for ''dealing with Hillary Clinton'', now there's a sticky wicket! Can he assuage her supporters without ...

Obama "Talk the Talk...but can he Walk the Walk" Part 2
Obama “Talk the Talk… but can he Walk the Walk” Part 2 In 1999, Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in the Illinois legislature — to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults, a position that risked drawing fire from African-Americans, or to oppose it, possibly undermining his image as a tough-on-crime moderate. ...

Hitchens Has It Right-Hillary Experience
Though Christopher Hitchens and I dont see eye to eye on most things, in fact almost nothing he is the first journalist/author to step up and say what many will not say. Hillary's experience is a farce. Her 20+ years of experience she claims to be the basis for 'being ready' is mostly made up of being a spouse of a governor and the spouse of a ...

All right, I'll say it...
I know I'm going to feminist hell for this but I've been stewing about this for weeks. Since when did sleeping next to experience equal experience? I could see if Sen. Clinton had actually gotten Universal Healthcare passed, but she didn't and it was a colossal mess-up, and it left other democrats out in the cold. Being the President's wife is ...

Re: Chelsa Clinton
''Do you even understand the ISSUE?'' Your simplistic dismissal of the query reveals exactly what is wrong with so-called ''news'' nowadays. Whatever his intent, using ''pimped'', ''pimped-out'', or any variation in reference to ANY public figure, not just Hilary and Bill's daughter, is at least graceless and vulgar, an should be considered far ...

Obama and the Lincoln experience parallel
Obama's questioning of the relevance of Hillary Clinton's type of ''experience'' in confronting the new challenges the United States faces receives validation from an interesting case in American history. It also points to why Obama's outsider status might actually be just what is needed to successfully restore the U.S. to international ...

Its Politcal Experience
I think that when people hear about Hillary's 'experience', they understand it to mean her experience in politics rather than government. After all, its hard to think of another public figure who has been subject to as many political attacks as Hillary. For the most part, Hillary has managed to withstand these attacks quite well.Republicans are ...

Hillary is Experienced, More or Less
No presidential candidate ever has much direct experience. If he was a governor or CEO, he has executive experience, but little exposure to the national issues, particularly foreign policy issues. If she is a senator, then there is exposure to issues but no executive experience. If we really wanted experience, we would elect former Secretaries ...

And another thing
It seems to me that it has been Hillary has been the one doing most of the slamming of other people's records. Her most recent quip was that Barack Obama's record consists of being ''a part-time state senator for a few years, and then he came to the Senate and immediately started running for president.'' It seems that she is the one (and Bill ...

Re: Steinem as Steinem always has been
A view from north of the border... The Scorebook 1. Ability to draw financial and political support to run a campaign. Obama: Uniter Clinton: Old School Manipulator 2. Ability to find votes and work with Republicans in the Senate. Obama: Non Partisan (based on one relatively minor piece of legislation and a whole lot of time not showing ...
