Evan Bayh is spot on
I think this might be my last post on politics, although one can’t be certain of something like that. I’d like to focus the blog more on what drove me to create it: giving back to the Internet community with useful technology posts. I think that’s a laudible goal and I think a ton of great information comes out of blogs.
The world is well aware of Obama’s somewhat nasty comments about rural, working-class Americans. Read all about the vitriol Obama spewed here:
“So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,” Mr. Obama said, according to a transcript that appeared Friday on the Hufington Post Web site.
I just had to post about this piece in the New York Times Caucus Blog about Senator Evan Bayh’s comments on Obama’s “bitterness” fiasco. Here’s what he had to say:
“I’m concerned that statements like this, even if they’re taken out of context, can be used very effectively by the other side to keep us from getting the change that we need. Look at John Kerry – served in Vietnam, won medals. Look at what they ended up doing to him by the end of that campaign. Look at Al Gore, won the Nobel Peace Prize now, you know, an Oscar. They made him look like he was a serial fibber and so forth. So the important point here is that they can use this politically to damage Barack.”
Wow. He is spot on.
The Republican spin machine can work veritable miracles in duping the American people into fiction versus fact. Hillary Clinton has stood up to this crap for years. She can take it and she can deal with it. She can beat the Republicans at their own game. And that’s why it’s so important that we elect a President that can play the Republicans’ own game.
Hillary for President!
