    Hillary Had a Reactionary Role Model, Too

    The following article was published in the New York Observer on Tuesday
    and it seems that the Clintons criticism of Obama's so called praise for Reagan is a little hypocritical.

    Read on.

    The thing is like all good politicians with a modicum of intelligence she's not invoking the reagan era during a democratic campaign.

    Barack's messed up bigtime with this and I believe its a fatal blow to him...
    Will the Irish People be bullied by the Gunman..?

    Hypocritical? Ah c'mon. This is all just political knockabout stuff.

    Obama lands a blow on Hillary re MLKing, she lands one back re Reagan. I think it's great. It shows that the candidates and their staff are all up for it. It will sharpen the reflexes for whichever of them ends up going up against the Republicans.

    I saw one report which said that the recent exchanges would mean that there is no way that Hillary, if nominated, would put Obama on the ticket. What a load of baloney. Which ever one wins will include on the ticket whoever maximises their chance of getting to the Oval Office.

    I couldn't agree more, I was just trying to balance recent discussions.
