Uncomfortable Truths, Comfortable Humor
January 20th, 2008Am I the only one who finds it humorous that Barack Obama is attacking Bill Clinton for attacking him and is calling him a liar in everything but name? “We need to confront him when he makes statements that aren’t supported by the facts.” “We all have a lot of regard for him but we can’t let him make statements not supported by the facts.” Listen, Senator: you won’t win based on whether or not you attack Clinton and you won’t lose because of anything he says. Don’t waste your time arguing with the former President, especially not when you do it with such hesitation because you’re afraid of winning the nomination and having to campaign without him. I assure you, and You, Dear Reader, that Bill Clinton would support Obama if he were the nominee, even if he did call him a liar explicitly. There is no honor or principle in Clintonian politics.
I don’t have much else to add about that — it’s been a busy day in my world, from hanging with some people I’m fond of to spending time with the family I love, I’ve been busy and there isn’t much aside from that observation I made that I want to make. “Bill Clinton is sometimes not truthful and it hurts my feelings!” Yeah? Tell us what you really think, Obama — this is just further proof that he is not the candidate of hard-truths no matter how hard he wants to pretend he is.
