But hey, that's why you are a Democrat and I'm not. The Clinton's have a LONG history of puting THE CLINTONS first. 99% of Clinton worship is actually Gingrich worship and you don't even realize it. The Clintons abandoned their naive central planning (known to you as "putting the American people first") almost immediately because the American people were turned off by it. The co-oped the 94 Repub Revolution with the help of Dick Morris. In the same breath, Dems will say that we need to take care of the poor AND "he balanced the budget and slashed welfare rolls" AND that the Clinton's "put the people first." Which is it? I assure you that with HillaryCare, there would have been no balanced budgets. Just like with Obama (and all politician worship) whatever they do is gold. Principles don't matter, its all about personality. The fact that a Clinton worshiper is talking about "shady characters" and shady real estate deals really says it all, right?

I did not vote for Obama. I like this site because it is actually looking at him critically. I agree with you about the election being about race. But I suggest that Obama played hardball with Hillary not because she is a woman, but because...SHE WAS HIS COMPETITOR! If you don't get that, drink your own unicorn flavored koolaid. I know that constantly crying victim of the "white male power structure" is an escalator to the top in the Democratic party, but it sure does make it look like you guys are too sensitive for the real world. Hillary's staged crying in New Hampshire really proves the point no? You will say it was real, which makes her look like a weakling who should not be in power. I say its fake, which makes her the anti-feminist, no? Hillary is the absolute worst type of opportunist, say anything, carpetbagging liar politician on the planet. Anyone who is an apologist for her cannot and should not be taken seriously. Just as anyone who assumes you worship her opponents if you criticize her should not be taken seriously. I am looking forward to the day when the Obamas and the Clintons are in our past. You Rockefeller dynasty worshipers are vapid tools. You are taking sides in a fake debate. Dick Cheney got a sun tan. And if it was Hillary? Don't kid yourselves! She voted like Dick Cheney in a pantsuit for 8 years. Give me a break. Betsy,
