We talked a bit about the difficulty BHO's followers have when someone has the temerity to ask them to name even one substantive accomplishment of his. It's amazing that after a year and a half, they still can't tell us what the guy's done to help others in his role as a public servant.
Of course it might be easier if his focus were actually on the public rather than himself, but that's another thing altogether.
I was looking through YouTube for something and came accross this wonderful video about Hillary's work over the years.
There really is no comparison here folks. Hillary's far and away the stronger candidate when you consider who's better prepared to lead. She's also sure to kick McCain's @ss in the general election so it really is tough to understand why the DNC and the Supers are backing the weaker candidate in this race.
On another note... Sharyn asked a great question at the end of her post re Blackwater today. She wondered why so many progressives are backing BHO and I really can't get my head around it either.
He's a wimp when it comes to defending our abortion rights.
He agrees with Scalia et al re the death penalty and gun control.
He refused to defend the Constitution and instead sided with the republicans by voting for FISA.
He attacked Hillary for her UNIVERSAL health care plan.
He's making the same noises as the goopers re social security (can privitization be far behind?)
He's backing off his promise to end the Iraq war.
He spoke out of both sides of his mouth re NAFTA.
He's promoting that faith-based garbage of Dubbya's.
Seriously - he's sounding more and more like a republican with every passing day.
Anyway this is an open thread - what's on your mind?
"Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you?re knocked down, get right back up. And NEVER listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on."
Hillary Clinton - June 7, 2008
