Reply #50: politics is the art of getting people to do what you want and what

[roguevalley]

they need. every great politician had that ability: FDR, JFK, etc. To denegrate this man without giving him a chance to prove himself is crap. No one is born to be president. They acquire skills, hopefully (the bushes ... oy) and they work out the path. Some of them do it because they love the country and want to make it great and others do it for greed and paybacks (the bushes ...oy)

No one is 'entitled' (the bushes ...you get the picture) but some feel they are. The fact that Clinton didn't have a game plan past Super Tuesday makes it clear that she felt it was her turn, she was entitled and it would be put away. Just because Obama is a better political operator than her isn't his fault. His background in lawschool and as a community organizer and his talents as a persuasive figure have put into place a machine that is mowing down Clinton's jerryrigged process post super tuesday. She shouldn't have been so sure. Nothing is sure in politics. Having Ferraro out there demonizing people for race and discounting their work and talents is shameful.
