Debate
I guess for the people who believe Hillary’s claim that Obama doesn’t have a specific plan the question becomes “would you rather have hope with no plan or a plan with no hope?”
While I’m proud of the question I actually don’t accept the premise that Obama doesn’t have a plan - from the beginning of January when I started paying real attention he’s been giving specifics but he’s ALSO been giving a message of hope. I don’t find the two mutually exclusive.
The debate last night was mostly a wash. Hillary started off with some name-dropping that I thought would be seen as pandering but the crowd ate it up, then midway through the debate she got nasty saying that 2 lines suggested by his co-chair somehow equates to stealing entire passages and then that Xerox comment was low. Plithy, but a cheap shot devoid of substance. But then at the end her closing remarks got a standing O and I’m not really sure why. Was it because she made positive comments about Obama and thus provided a party-uniting note to end on? Or was it because, as some suggested, it was the first time she seemed to be aware that she might lose? Or was it just because the debate was over since they stood for the commercial breaks too? I have no idea. And the laughter about the hard times she’s faced, we’re talking about Monica, right? When did adultery become funny? I have a PoliSci Honours degree and the last few minutes of the debate confused the hell out of me.
I think it also worth noting that some of her closing remarks were taken from Edwards.
Irony abounds, no?
I find it interesting their initials, for me HRC always stood for the Hard Rock Café and BO meant Body Odour…not really relevant to the subject at hand I suppose but the initials always throw me
