TonyB,
Actually David Strauss was my favorite prof but I enjoyed Obama's class as well. I only had a chance to take one class with Obama but took about 3 with David, and he spoke at our graduation too. Plus, he thought my comments were insightful... so that could be coloring my viewpoints. No, in all honesty, I was fortunate to have a number of very intelligent/borderline genius/down-to-earth professors. I would not be surprised if Strauss' name is on the short list if Obama is elected Prez and an opening for the Sup Court comes up. He has argued before the U.S. Sup Court almost 20 times and is just an all around good guy. But I digress....
Yes, HRC is so honory that she can't even *pretend* to be bigger than she is. The good thing is that if you watch someone long enough, he/she will show themselves. I think that this has come to pass.
On another note, what do you think about Obama's announcement that the DNP would no longer take money from LOBBYISTS.
Thoughts TonyB?

I mean I feel your fire. We know that anybody challenging SC's favorite law professor is going to get a face-full of SC real quick. lol
...on the real, though, maybe a broader view of this is revealing.
Basic politics 101 says you don't jam up the candidate that just beat you --especially if you want him to choose you for something. Her Tuesday speech should have been a gracious valedictory of what she's accomplished and what the party can accomplish in November. If she couldn't muster that up, she should have postphoned her remarks till Wednesday. She did herself a disservice, at least among her political supporters.
Her actions Tuesday, including her trial balloon earlier in the day, said basically "I don't know that I want to concede anything to you just yet -- but can a sista be your VP" <--that's non-sensical anyway you look at it, partisanship notwithstanding.
True, she's coming off a highly pressurized situation -- but they deliver pressure before the first cup of morning coffee in the White House. It makes some wonder, is this indicative of her strategic thinking under pressure? |
