Hillary Told You So - Yahoo! News
At a New York political event last week, Republican and Democratic office-holders were all bemoaning President Obama’s handling of the debt-ceiling crisis when someone said, “Hillary would have been a better president.”
Every single person nodded, including the Republicans,” reported one observer.
A 61-year-old white woman at the table nodded. “He never understood about the ‘vast right-wing conspiracy,’” she said.
Looking as if she were about to cry, an 83-year-old Obama supporter shook her head. “I’m so disappointed in him,” she said. “It’s true: Hillary is tougher.”
During the last few days, the whispers have swelled to an angry chorus of frustration about Obama’s perceived weaknesses. Many Democrats are furious and heartbroken at how ineffectual he seemed in dealing with Republican opponents over the debt ceiling, and liberals are particularly incensed by what they see as his capitulation to conservatives on fundamental liberal principles
Among Clinton fans, particularly older women, the language was frequently far more caustic. “Obama has no spine and no balls,” said a 67-year-old New Yorker.
“There’s no question in my mind that Obama is a one-term president,” says one passionate Democrat. “Even if he were a great president, this economy is a calamity. And in the end, ‘It’s the economy, stupid.’”.....snip
Looks Obama is losing the support of the Upper Class Rich White New Yorkers, Clinton-ites are all starting to Rebel. All Talking Smack about Obama. Talking about Clinton's 70% approval rating. Yet the Democrats are so desperate to hold on to power that they DARE NOT allow any other Democrat to run for the Office of the Presidency. As the AP notes the Dems already know to let any other Democrat to run for the Presidency would tear the Dems up. SO in Essence the Democrats would rather see the Country go down the drain and back Obama rather than have their party Divided up. Funny looks to me that the Dems are already divided up. Other Dems threatening not to vote. Plus now Democrats are calling Obama a one term President. One thing is for certain, when the left starts to bale on of their own. It's all about running back into those Arms Wide Open for the Clinton Embrace. Thoughts?
