Remember the line from Barak about driving the bus into the ditch? That was a great and relevant line. It summed up the whole argument and the campaign very succinctly. How do you combat all those arguments about his position in the Senate being the same as hers? While he is saying they were completely different on Iraq. How do you untangle that disagreement?
It summed up what Barak means to me. People always say he’s good with words, but to me, that is the by product. He’s good with thoughts, so precise, so ‘to the point’. His argument is that Hillary had driven the bus into the ditch and there aren’t that many options on how to get it out. That is why his votes on Iraq in the Senate are the same as hers. Because, once the bus is in there, due to her lack of judgment, everyone is then deciding the same thing, how to get out. But his judgment would have kept the bus out of the ditch in the first place. How brilliant!
Barak was in the middle of a contentious election and it was an unpopular time to be opposed to the war. But Barak made his position clear and stood up for what he believed. Hillary made the choice for short term political expediency. Hers was a short term, short sighted political calculation that has led to disaster. She will neither apologize nor own up to the consequences of her decision. What have we lost in blood, treasure, world standing, moral high ground, etc.? Oh, the results of those short term, short sighted decision made only for political expediency . . .
And now, we have Hillary’s short term, short sighted judgment driving us into another ditch, the gutter. Hillary and her arguments don’t seem to be able to hold their own against Barak’s arguments. Unable to hold her own on a level stage under the lights, she has decided to have her surrogates flood the media with slurs, smears and innuendoes, "Barak needs to explain this, Barak needs to answer to that." Without thought for the consequences, the party, the voters or the nation, her overarching, unitary, primal directive again seems to be personal political expediency. If I don’t do this then I won’t win. End of discussion – for her mind.
And there you have it, yet another real time example of Hillary and her judgment and how she manages, reacts and governs. She shows herself time and time again as the weaker person and the weaker candidate. If all you can do is fight, whether you are right or wrong, you’re a fighter, well, isn’t that what we have right now in GW?| < TX Primary vs. Caucus Vote Validity | Samantha Power > |
