62. The OP points out why the Obama movement is fraudulent
Edited on Sat Apr-05-08 10:38 AM by DemGa
And I DO mean this in all sincerity.

Obama sought early on to profit from Clinton's "negatives" -- negatives created by the slanderous right-wing attacks of the nineties. BO did this by painting Clinton as "polarizing and divisive"; that she would "unite the opposition." More slander would follow: Hillary would be smeared as "calculating, dishonest, do anything to win." And it worked -- but there is a price.

Now you have a problem: you want the positive aspects to rise, you want to see the good and move forward. Just one thing though.

Obama was lifted up by this negativity.

So the philosophical underpinning of your movement is corrupted. Sorry, but whatever you heap upon a flawed foundation won't remedy its origin. I recognize this is a hard truth.
