Whattya mean Obama can’t attract white male voters? Here’re some white guys telling why they dig Obama. (Unfortunately they’re a bunch of liberal Democrats from Oregon. Wouldn’t you like to see these guys chatting up those West Virginia voters who think Obama is a Muslim.)
In this 30-second spot running in Oregon, Hillary Clinton says she’ll “turn our country around” — promising to create “millions of new green jobs,” end No Child Left Behind, implement universal healthcare and bring US troops home from Iraq. Whew! Shot and a beer, please.
Hillary might as well be putting a stalk of hay in her teeth after last night’s victory fueled by rural Pennsylvanians. You know, the bitter folk. So she sticks with her new best friends from the sticks as she challenges Barack to two debates in Oregon, one focusing on the problems of life in rural oregon.
At a rally in Salem, OR, Barack Obama explains why Democrats should vote for him instead of Hillary Clinton. While “the differences on issues are not immense” in domestic policy, says Obama, “Senator Clinton all too often over the last five years in foreign policy debates has calibrated her responses based on politics instead of good judgment.”
But the biggest difference, he says, is that Senator Clinton “doesn’t believe in transparency . . . She doesn’t believe, I think, in bottom-up democracy. And if you don’t believe in that then you’re not going to change Washington.”
