Obama: an oratorically upgraded version of Mike Bloomberg
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 11:57 PM by QuicklyLoving
In the words of Paul Krugman:

Some progressives are appalled by the direction their party seems to have taken: they wanted another F.D.R., yet feel that they’re getting an oratorically upgraded version of Michael Bloomberg instead.

5. Hillary did not endorse the opposition
That's a falsehood not shown in that video, or anywhere else.

9. Hello? You've been here less than a month and made...
nearly 900 posts? And you feel free to accuse a newbie of being a troll?

8. Please show me
The last time a Democratic candidate made a point of directing attention to where a Republican's qualifications were 'better' than his/her Democratic opponent.

'Endorsed'? No.

Friggin insane and self centered? Absolutely.

10. Watch the video.
Then vote for Senator Clinton and see if you can sleep at night.

6. Mike Bloomberg has a 70%+ approval rating
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

13. Then I guess Maureen Dowd has a gigantic malignant tumor
from carrying Obama's water.

Same goes for Frank Rich.

14. That is an amazingly original line you posted
