Re: Shawn Macomber's Barack's Hillary Problem:

Andrew Sullivan made another interesting (and accurate) observation in his Atlantic column on Barack Obama relative to Hillary. He notes that Obama can tell the voters what he really believes while Hillary can't. Instead she has to lie and deceive. And here, in Sullivan's own words, is why he says this is so:

"As a liberal, she [Hillary] has spent years in a defensive crouch against triumphant post-Reagan conservatism. The mau-mauing that greeted her health-care plan and the endless nightmares of her husband's scandals drove her deeper into her political. Her liberalism is warped by what you might call Political Post-Traumatic Syndrome."

Now here's the take away point.

"She [Hillary] has internalized what most Democrats of her generation have internalized: They suspect that the majority is not with them, and so some quotient of discretion, fear, or plain deception is required if they are to advance their objectives.

"She is hiding her true feelings. We know it, she knows we know it, and there's no way out of it."

Yes indeed, the majority is not with Hillary's left-wing agenda -- either on domestic or foreign affaires. It should be fun to see Hillary turn herself into a pretzel in the coming months as she tries to square the circle. And once "the world's smartest woman" sees that she's about to be checkmated, watch the rage flow. That's when the real entertainment will begin, and I'm relying on The American Spectator to be there to document it all.

Hey Shawn: Are you for real?

At least you write good English so I'd presume you are somewhat educated, huh!

The whole volume of your bromidic piece seems to be vainly trying to undermine the extraordinary character and vision of Obama; it smacks of some mental indolence when you are only so ready to spout what you perceive as negative regarding the man.

One might want to wonder how much you got paid for this tripe!

Do a bit of intellectual exercise; read the man's policy speeches/proposals, stands on issues and past cum present records before you spout this kind of tripe.

Unless you lack scruples!!!

Senator Obama has presented himself as an African-American Socialist, which bodes well for his success in the Democrat Party. His program for the future of America consists of higher taxes, redistribution of wealth from the well off to low incomers, and an end to the war on terror which impedes his planed redistribution of wealth. Along the way immigration laws will remain lax in order to pick up more Democrat voters.

Senator Edwards presents himself as a white Socialist and plans a future for America that is almost identical to Obama's.
