The debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is coming down to words.
Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) — Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama raised their battle for the Democratic presidential nomination up a notch as they traded barbs over who has the mettle to take on the Republicans and win back the White House.
“It will take more than just speeches to fulfill our dreams,” New York Senator Clinton, 60, said at a Wisconsin Democratic Party dinner in Milwaukee late yesterday. “It will take a lot of hard work.”
“Don’t tell me words don’t matter,” Obama, 46, said in a speech following Clinton’s. “If we don’t inspire the country to believe again, then it doesn’t matter how many policies and plans we have.”
One fundamental difference between these candidates may be “words.” Obama believes that words “matter.” Clinton believes that “hard work” matters. The question is, do words matter? Do words belong in a political campaign? Can’t we do without words and just get to work? Reading on Walden Bookstore.
