On a day when — for the third day in a row — Senator Hillary Clinton was blasting Senator Barack Obama for suggesting that people in small towns were bitter (working the word into her comments) it now turns out that her husband former President Bill Clinton made remarks somewhat similar to the ones she’s now using to argue that Obama is in-effect unelectable and a defeat waiting to happen for the Democratic Party.
The Huffington Post has found this excerpt from Bill Clinton comments published in the Sunday Los Angeles Times in 1991:
“You know, he [Bush] wants to divide us over race. I’m from the South. I understand this. This quota deal they’re gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they’ve been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country’s coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at Bobby Rush and think, Bobby wants my job, my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, ‘What happened to everybody’s job? What happened to everybody’s income? What … have … you … done … to … our … country?’”
Etc., etc..

hmmm...well, honestly i don't see much of a similarity, but it really doesn't matter. i didn't vote for clinton and i'm not gonna vote for obamastandin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way0
