"The One" seems worried.....



Yes folks, after Hilliary's first 2012 campaign speech on Tuesday night, after Biden bit the bullet and praised the glories of "the One", despite his incredible change of mind on the qualifications of Barack Hussein Obama to be his presidential political busboy, there is continued reason for "the One." Is this campaign ready to implode like one of former tank commander Mike Dukakis? One political columnist, Jon Keller sums it up this way. "But every speech I’ve heard or read so far has one thing in common – they offer virtual baby talk on the major issues of the day. What is the right thing to do about soaring energy costs, in the short and long term? With the lone exception of Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who alluded to something called coal gasification, I haven’t heard a specific fresh idea yet. What is the right way forward on affordable housing? All I’ve heard are vows to make sure every American can own a home to go with the chicken in their pot, even though we’ve just learned the painful lesson that not every American can afford to finance a home. How do we break the stranglehold of reform-averse unions over failing public schools? Apparently, there isn’t a major Democrat in the building willing to risk angering the union delegates by talking about charter schools and choice. It’s pathetic and sad. All we get are self-aggrandizing personal stories designed to show us what saints these power-seekers are, vague, insulting promises of the land of milk and honey that awaits a partisan victory, cheap trash-talking of the opposition.
