About the Hillary/Obama Essay Thing...

[Jackpine Radical]

I've heard the opinion expressed that this was actually a joke on Hillary's part.

Maybe so.

But if so, obviously a lot of people aren't getting it.

If that's so--this is a joke people mistakenly taking seriously, Hillary has a problem.

If this is not a joke but an actual attack, it's really stupid (can you imagine someone being driven away from Obama over this?), and Hillary has a problem.

To encapsulate the situation, Hillary has a problem.

She really ought to do something about it.

1. How could anyone possibly

--take it as a serious attack?

It's a glib snarky comment.

I think Obama shows a lack of a sense of humor.

People who aren't getting it's a joke on here --don't want to get that it's a joke.

2. You say "how could anyone possibly take it as a serious attack" it

appears almost everybody. The only way out of it for Hillary is now to try and say it was a joke. They are correct, the joke is on them for the stupid act they tried to pull. Has totally backfired on them.

3. with all due respect to everyone

who posts on DU.

DU isn't the entire voting populace.

4. Wasn't even talking about DU, talking about all the news stations,

Iowa voters, turn on the tv. With all due respect. David Abrams, Lawrence O'Donnell, David Schuster, whoever is talking
is having a ball and find Hillary attacking Obama for a 3d grade essay he had written unbelievable, desperate and in a panic stage. Abrams showed some polls and how much she has fallen.

Really stupid and I am sure more to follow.

5. I trust regular folk

have a better sense of humor than TV pundits as well.

6. So do I, that is why he was showing the new Iowa polls tonight. nt.
