Reply #50: I don't support Obama, I question Hillary on any issue involving Clinton's legacy BUT

[Leopolds Ghost]

(And this is a big but) I refuse to support any candidate that would
decieve the American people on NAFTA. Now you could be right.
Hillary may have changed her mind on this issue and told folks around
her, like Lawrence, that she intended to govern from the "left" once
elected, and repudiate her husband's right-of-Reagan policies on
issue after issue (electricity dereg, telecom dereg, banking dereg,
NAFTA). Which would of course prompt them to utterly destroy her
and pump up Obama as a more easily-controllable alternative.
But I sincerely doubt it. More likely, they want a candidate they
can control, are happy with BOTH of them but figure Obama has a better
chance of winning in the fall (note how the Media and big business
Repubs have ALLOWED McCain to be percieved as unpopular instead of
puffing him up as the de facto front runner like they did against
Kerry in 04. Because McCain can't be controlled and neither could
Kerry.) They figure Obama can be controlled and if he doesn't come
out and repudiate the staffer who told Canada's ambassador this, we
will know that he is a liar and a stuffed shirt. If he DOES come
out and repudiate the staffer / Wise Old Man who said this on his
behalf, you can be assured he will have to fly commercial for the
duration of campaign season.
