"35 years Experience?"

MSMs obsession with currying favor with the Clinton camp is becoming so blatant to be insulting the intelligence of any conscious viewer with a mere speck of political awareness. .... Friday's MSNBC article which characterizes the latest overblown interaction between presidential candidates as a move by Obama to "plunge into charge-countercharge politics after a promise to run "a different kind of campaign" is over the top.

Just another example of manufacturing news to favor one candidate over the other when everyone with half a cogent brain understood that inherent in Obama's initial response was the fact that he wasn't putting these 'rogue' leaders on his Blackberry speed dial.

Quite frankly, as even Ken Blackwell recently noticed, it appears that Hillary just keeps getting these opportunities just dropped in her lap by whatever individual is handling the debate. She never seems to get the tough questions first (or ever, says Blackwell) and she always has ample opportunities to answer second affording her enough time to slam one out of the park by focusing on a tangent of the main point.

Why does the MSM continue to allow Cllnton to present herself as running on "35 years of experience" without asking Sen. Clinton to give us a rundown of what exactly SHE accomplished in that long, long stretch of government activism and service. To my knowledge, she has only served 7 years as an elected official and was first lady of the US for 8 years (Governor's wife for perhaps as long).

If Senator Clinton wants us to include her 8 years as First Lady as part of her experience, perhaps interviewers might ask about her administration's policies towards the WTO, NAFTA and working to push through China's favorable nation status to escalate its ascention to the WTO in 2001. Her politics most assuredly laid the groundwork for much of the Bush agenda, including sanctions and ongoing flyovers in Iraq, nonaction on the Rwanda Genocide due to pressure from multinational investors who reorganized the region as a launching pad for The Congo Wars (ie, the payoffs and plunder by Western business of regional natural resources, including Coltan for the burgeoning cell phone business); the 'unofficiial' use of Islamlic Fundamentalist troops in Bosnia/Chechynia; and the failure of her administration to rope in binladen when he was offered by the Sudanese. The framework for the disastrous No Child Left Behind began under Clinton's Education Secretary William Bennett; the viscous outsourcing of our economy began under her administration; negotiations with the Taliban on behalf of western oil giants to build a pipeline through Afghanistan began under her administration.

Frankly, in retrospect, her administration's initial limited curtailment of our constitutional rights under the Terrorism Act, along with her administration's own warrantless wiretapping programs most assuredly qualify Senator Clinton as representing BushLite. In fact, I believe Obama showed great restraint.

This was no mud-slinging political cheap shot on Obama's part. And you guys know it.

Serve it straight or don't serve it at all.
