Bubba's Case

Bubba in Tyler ...

"There are two competing moods in America today," [Bill] Clinton said. "People who want something fresh and new -- and they find it inspiring that we might elect a president who literally was not part of any of the good things that happened or any of the bad things that were stopped before. The explicit argument of the campaign against Hillary is that 'No one who was involved in the 1990s or this decade can possibly be an effective president because they had fights. We're not going to have any of those anymore.' Well, if you believe that, I got some land I wanna sell you."

Obviously, that's a key reason why I have yet to acquire a taste for the Obama kool-aid. Hope and inspiration are wonderful in and of themselves. But detached from facts on the ground, it only sets one up for a massive disappointment if they honestly believe that we'll magically "transform" the various debates and won't have to actually ... ya know, fight for something.
