Obama is also a career politician, he is just younger and disguised his career well as a "community organizer", which the GOP used to try to discredit him as inexperienced (as if Palin was any better), but in the end both backfired on the GOP and made Obama look like an outsider, which he clearly is not. He is just different. A different group of careeer politicians in the white house.

I still fail to understand the Romney phenomenon. I find it incredible that through the entire ranks of the political party a guy as polarizing as he got the nomination, which to me just re-enforces my theory that primaries and delegates are all a sham and are all rigged. Just like GWB in 2000, when the GOP suddenly pulled support from McCain 75% through the primary. It's as if they had Romeny picked from the start. Everyone who ran against him was seriously a fringer or a moron with baggage of some sort. His VP candidate is going to be his saving grace, and when he does pick a VP, everyone is going to be like "so yeah why didnt he run for prez??" and I'll be all like "so yeah becoz Romney was teh chosen one"


Also, I think Bill Clinton secretly wants Obama to lose.

First off, they got screwed in the south with the BS race baiting claims, which hurt Hilary. 2nd, if Obama wins and Hilary runs she will be facing the George H Bush situation where it will be incredibly difficult for her to get a 2nd term because 12 years into a party rule she will be blamed for virtually everything even if she is actually doing a decent job, re GHB.

I think Hilary would have been a much better president than Obama, although I hate to see nepotism in government. As I recall, she basically did what Santorum did to Romney after he lost, Obama went from being Loser #1 to being our best hope in america. Giving her the SOS job was an olive branch for all the angries, may end up biting him in the butt. I think hilary has held back. Were she president, the mood in afghanistan would at least be different.
