It really may be the most revolting thing no one in politics is talking about. The constant smearing of Hillary supporters and flattering prose given daily to Obama lovers. You’ve heard, seen, and read it multiple times. Poor, uneducated, and the old are for Hillary while the young, college educated and wealthy are flocking to Obama. They’ve called Hillary supporters “lunch box” Democrats, i.e. a bunch of hicks. We all know the press is in lust in Obama, when a reporter from The New Republic went to an Obama rally he was asked by his fellow reporters many from “un-biased” news agencies quote “So when did you fall in love with him?” And of course, the reporter from The New Republic went on to write an adoring piece about our first substantial half black candidate.
I think the discussion has to go a little bit deeper in order to understand the Democrats. Barack Obama supporters are idiots. All of them. With the exception of the congressional Democrats who want to make sure their seat is safe this November. Michael Medved, the only voice in talk radio still worth listening to, asked Obama supporters to actually describe what Obama was going to do when he became president. The same clichés about unifying the nation, bringing us all together, and joining in group hugs was said. Hell we could have had Oprah just to do that. Then Medved actually read verbatim Obama’s policy stands from his web site, which made fortune cookies look like things of substance.
Again and again, we hear that young people love Obama. As a good blogging friend wrote, “They also love “Family Guy”. A reporter (can we still call them that) said and I quote “If you’re under 25, you love Obama”. Last time I checked I’m still 5 months shy of my 21st birthday an event I want to transpire more with each passing Obama-adoring headline. Yes, college students can be brilliant but their naivety (many of my more conservative readers, will lump me in with them) knows no bounds. Knowledge untested by the reality the world brings is useless.
Hillary Clinton is a smart woman. But she has also worked hard for everything she has attained. And as Paul Krugman wrote in The New York Times her detailed policy positions blow Barack out of the water. It’s easy to understand why she’s frustrated, with her turning in meticuliously written and thought out ways to change this country and Obama simply saying two words “change” and “hope” and reaping the rewards. It’s clear McCain is the Republican nominee but he could very well lose come November and we cannot afford to have Obama in the White House.We may disagree with Clinton but her competence cannot be questioned when compared to Obama’s.
