The Wisest of Politicians

Today Clinton said, “I have so many opportunities and don’t want us to fall backward. I see what’s happening, people. … Some of us are ready some of us are not. When we look at the array of problems and potential for it to spin out of control, this is one of the most important elections.”

Clinton seems to think, along with Edwards for one, that she is the only one who can help. I understand campaigning, but I think she, at some level, genuinely believes she is the only one who can put this country back on the ‘right track.’ She is the only one who sees. She is the only one who feels. She is the only one with the answers. She is the only one who can save us. If this is the case, then God save us.

Hillary Campaigns Against Herself

Hillary Clinton criticized Barack Obama saying, “You campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose.”

That is so good. It is so good, it’s poetry. Oh wait, she’s criticizing herself. By waxing poetically, she has herself become, in her own words, a campaigner and not a governor.

Is it too much to ask candidates to speak logically, and not be self-refuting? I guess when symbolizism is more important than substance, it is.
