that Hillary keeps talking about Sanders's words being used to promote Bill Press's book. The full blurb reads, "Bill Press makes the case why, long after taking the oath of office, the next president of the United States must keep rallying the people who elected him or her on behalf of progressive causes. That is the only way real change will happen. Read this book."
Compare that to Hillary Clinton's review of Henry Kissinger's new book (Washington Post; September 4, 2014). It is a long, glowing review of Kissinger and his opinions on the (New) "World Order." She connects the concepts of Kissinger with the her work as Secretary of State, as described in her new book, "Hard Choices." Indeed, she goes so far as to write, "Kissinger is a friend, and I relied on his counsel when I served as secretary of state. He checked in with me regularly ...."
I like Bill Press. That doesn't mean that I always agree with him. But he is a gentle, intelligent, caring man. Henry Kissinger is a cold-blooded war criminal.
In one of the books on President Obama's first year in office, there is information on how he was disappointed that his administration had not harnessed the power of the grass roots supporters who helped elect him. President Obama recognized that this would have allowed him to put much needed pressure on Congress -- because, as we know, the Congress was ignoring Obama's mandate from the 2008 election. President Obama knew he needed the grass roots; it was people in his administration who failed him and the country.
It's rather difficult to see why any good Democrat would find Bernie's saying the next president needs to utilize the power of the grass roots objectionable.
Kissinger, on the other hand, is intelligent, but a cold-blooded reptile. There is nothing about him that warrants praise from any Democrat. Then again, it's hard to understand why Bill and Hillary have become close in their relationship to the Bush family.
