It seems the new strategy of the Clinton campaign is to complain that Obama is all words and no action. I’ve been catching sound-bytes noting that he is skilled at stirring and moving people, but can’t be trusted to lead. He does not have enough experience to run the White House on “day one.” While these are valid points and a clear challenge for him, there is a process that he has been able to avoid that is rather appealing to me, and perhaps to the millions of other voters in his corner. We all know about it, but it is seldom mentioned on the Sunday morning political shows. It’s a hazard that cannot be avoided: Spending too much time in the federal government turns people into a-holes.
This is also why Hillary’s hubby isn’t helping her very much lately. He can never become human again. Sorry, dude.
It is an inevitable transformation and Obama will have to eventually conform. However, he at least still resembles a human being, which is giving him the advantage. Plus, let’s face it. Experience being a politician is supposed to sharpen and hone what skills? Hmmm??…leadership! Last time I checked we select our leaders based on a personal decision to either support or reject them.
So what about the people that Hillary considers stupid and easily manipulated by fancy speeches? We, the hopeful little sheep, are touched by his speeches, moved, and encouraged to vote for him. We are duped into believing that he is someone who will champion the social and political movements that matter to us. That alone suggests an amazing shift in tactics over the past several years. What she is doing is similar to the process of reminding us that if we don’t support our leaders, we will face nasty consequences. She is using fear, just like the rest of the a-holes!
In a representative democracy it is sickening to hear the same anatomical elite speak for us about who is fit to serve. For better or worse, that is our job! Many of us are accustomed to voting for the person who is the smaller a-hole. Perhaps we finally have a clearer choice this time around.
