Obama Says Clinton Would Be a Step Back
Hillary Clinton is the establishment and the old guard. She is banking on two things to get her in the White House, Bill and women. Two really bad reasons to elect a president, or maybe those are her excuses to not accept change.
DENVER (AP) — Democratic Sen. Barack Obama said Wednesday, a Hillary Rodham Clinton presidency would be a step back to the past, turning her husband’s image of a bridge to the future against her. The former first lady decried the tenor of his comments in an interview with The Associated Press.
“I know it is tempting – after another presidency by a man named George Bush – to simply turn back the clock, and to build a bridge back to the 20th century,” the Illinois senator said in Denver.
“… It’s not enough to say you’ll be ready from Day One – you have to be right from Day One,” he added in unmistakable criticisms of Clinton, who often claims she’s better prepared to govern, and her husband, who pledged during his own presidency to build a bridge to the 21st century.
In his speech, Obama depicted Clinton as a calculating, poll-tested divisive figure who will only inspire greater partisan divisions as she sides with Republicans on issues such as trade, the role of lobbyists in politics and national security. At the same time, he elevated McCain, fresh off victory in Florida’s crucial primary, as the likely Republican nominee.

Obama is more then ready to make history, write a new chapter in american politics I literally cannot wait to cast my vote for him. I am so over the clintons IN FACT they actually SCARE ME. Hillary’s tone, her and her husbands bullying , and long list of a legacy of BROKEN PROMISES , entitlement and “pretty talk” . Granted , politics is a dirty busines..But we need FRESH players. WE need to present a different face to the global community. I am looking forward to voting on Tuesday and not having to hold my nose, but cast in it, in a state of HOPE AND FAITH, that maybe , maybe – we can make history, and get some real changes slowly but surely. One thing Obama comprehends oh so well is that CIVIL rights cannot be left to the states..The states need Federal Guidance . Oh the arrogence of the clintons..HOW DARE, they declare bill was america’s first black president..how patronizing and self deluded. I have had the news on , and i catch a Beligerent tone out both he and his wife. Frankly they both scare me to death ! And to any feminists out there , for the love of the goddess, google NEO LIBERAL and CLINTON..and remember neo con and neo lib is the same beast !
