After watching the video all these threads of outraged minions look even MORE ridiculous than before!

Obama was clearly implying that someone (gee, I wonder who?) had been smearing him as a Muslim in a email campaign during the primaries, and Kroft was helping him along. Then they cut to Kroft asking Hillary if she thought Barack was a Muslim -- instead of asking outright if her campaign was responsible for the smears he had been discussing with Barack. It was a sneaky series of scenes making her look responsible. THAT was the egregious part of this segment. I mean, if the weeping voter in Ohio who had a very ill wife and not enough to pay for the astronomical medical bills was going to vote for Barack even though he "heard he was a Muslim" and thought he was unpatriotic because he didn't know the Star Spangled Banner or some such, then Hillary must be really evil! And her health care plan to relieve his overwhelming burden was not nearly enough to overcome as much evil as she contained. Yes, she's obviously guilty of SOMETHING.

Cut to Barack talking about the email smears...then Hillary being asked if he was a Muslim.

Cripes.

I'm not that keen on any candidate. I've thought all along the Dem "leadership" was foolish not to impeach and assume they would still easily win the presidency based on how reprehensible the Bush administration was. Impeachment would have shaken things out and created a different dynamic (and different candidates running, no doubt). If this much energy had been focused on kicking Bush and Cheney's asses they would have rightfully been orbiting Mars about now. Instead it's viciously ripping the Dem party in half. But you could argue that's what the Dem party deserves, for not doing what needed to be done.
