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.
