Sweet and sour grapes.

A wonderful, lengthy piece on President Clinton is linked here. Occasionally I wonder if my partisan loyalty to the Clintons is misplaced. Then I read something like this piece which confirms what went on last year -
Bill Clinton : I had one minister in Texas in the general election come up and put his arm around me." This was an Obama supporter. "And he came up, threw his arm around me and said, 'You've got to forgive us for that race deal.' He said, "That was out of line."

"That race deal" - that damaged this country and demeaned millions and for what? For who? A talented teleprompted speaker who has no business running a city, much less a county.

I am left with this final answer: The Clintons are better people than the Obamas. I mean that in both a broad and narrow sense. From the reasons behind policy down to how people are seen and treated - The Clintons are better people.

Yes, the Obamas and their rabid supporters were "out of line" to put is as kindly as possible. Mr. Obama's entire career is built on being "out of line" - from the mysteries of his youth, to the lazy career in the state legislature, to the most recent "F You" to gays, and abortion rights activists.

Obama is about advancement of his ego and control over whatever he can manage to grasp - and that is all.

Advancement and control.

Advancement and control. Those two words cover his whole life.

I think - 'no, I shouldn't get over it'. I see no reason to "get over it". A "planned" mistake of epic proportions was foisted on us last year .

And I can't get around the sense that it may be our final mistake. The mistake that ends the possibility for redemption. The one who comes after Obama shoud be as big a concern now for thinking people as Obama himself.

This mistake aided and abetted in corrupting the Left to its core - with the Left being willing, deluded participants. The far Right is alive now. Alive with passion and ideas. The Left, contrary to MSM blathering, is DEAD. A bunch of lost, confused, disempowered fools.

As the results of the Chicago Rules being installed in D.C. become more and more apparent - this mistake becomes one that we will pay for in myriad ways for years to come.

There is now no issue, plank, or contingency, that Obama has not betrayed in less than 200 days. I defy anyone to find one major issue in which Obama has not waffled, doubled back or chosen to ignore what he said in 2008. We are in the midst of Bush's third term. On every major concern "hope and change" has become "What Bush said". Here is the difference - W, Cheney, and Rummy transferred wealth to the military- industrial complex, while giving financial concerns a blank check to loot. Obama is in the process of transferring wealth to the medical-industrial complex while bailing out financial concerns...with our wealth.

It is both "sour grapes" and reasonable to conclude that Hillary Clinton would be a better President. Far from perfect. But certainly better. On this point, Liberal Rapture is proudly a grievance blog and will remain one as long as it is up or until proven wrong.
