Sunday News Shows
The Sunday News Shows today were pretty mundane. I think one of the highlights had to be David Gregory's interview with Hillary Clinton on Meet the Press. Well, maybe it became a lowlight when he asked Clinton to speculate on potential Sarah Palin presidential run, and any similarities she may have with Clinton in terms of being a female similarly situated in the political world. Clinton didn't bite in the least - brushing off the question like she would a fly.
Clinton made a lot of sense. At this point I'm sure a lot of people are second guessing themselves about whether we might be better off with Clinton as president. I'm not sure. The problems are so huge that the same kind of obstacles would have appeared to Clinton as to Obama. But, Clinton is older and her and Bill have been through about every kind of political snare that is out there. And while I generally think Obama is doing an OK job, he has seemed a bit naive and not ready for the level of conspiracy out there by his political opponents to bring him down. It is hard to imagine that it could be so brutal, but it seems that he did let the opposition get ahead of him before he figured out that he needed to get a little aggressive in fighting back politically. Too little too late.
Hillary Clinton is a big time asset to the democrats. She escaped this last election cycle pretty much unscathed. They need her to help get them back into a better position politically. Hopefully they will not forget that.
