I believe the following clip of Hillary on the campaign trail is important and deserves wider play. I heard about this moment a couple of days ago on a blog (maybe this blog — I don’t recall). But I hadn’t seen the actual moment until just now.
It is an example of the bankruptcy of her campaign.
She can only whiff at what Obama has brought to the table and then seek to co-opt his messages. And then, when she co-opts the message, she sounds as phony as a three-dollar bill.
I keep seeing her, and thinking her own words will doom her. But then again, it looks like 42% of those Democrats polled nationally still haven’t gotten the message.
So please play this. And pass it around to your own blogging friends. Let everyone who is still trying to make up their minds have a look at her. And provide them a little context. Like — before Iowa, Obama was the candidate of “change” and Clinton was the candidate of “experience.” And then after Iowa, Clinton was suddenly the agent to actually “get change done.” Remind them that Obama has been talking to sold out arenas — who he has inspired to believe in the process again — to come into the process or back to the process — and remind them that these crowds of new voters will not respond to the lame message Clinton tries to take from Obama below — a message that has encouraged these fresh voters to join the man in pleading for change — in communal callings of “Yes We Can!!!” For weeks and weeks. When he was up. When he was down. And that Clinton accused him of offering false hope with words for his efforts. Then play them this clip — where Clinton again — lamely tries to co-opt his message.
She is not the messenger of change. She is the messenger of doom. See for yourself.
