Eleanor Clift made a startling comment today on the McLaughlin Group - the American Original.
I don't know. I try and "get" Clift but her unabashed unwillingness to be critical of anything liberal or Democratic is too much for my taste. It's like, dude, how's sticking your head in the sand good for liberalism? I wonder what a debate between Clift and Sean Hannity would be like. Yeesh.
So it didn't surprise me when she chimed in with this gem:
"Obama is out to save capitalism."
My head went into an immediate tailspin. First, it was what the fuh? Then it was, what the fuh did I just hear? Hold the espresso! Next, I laughed is she for real? How can you be a contributing an editor of Newsweek and say things like that? Did anyone laugh in the background? Did people hurl their coffee? I mean, really. Man, I know Obama has people euphoric (I like his tough language with the credit cards by the way) but come on.
I collected my thoughts and wondered, is it the job of any President (or leader) for that matter to intervene and try and "save" capitalism?
I wonder if she believes Obama walks the streets at night as the Caped Crusader. While he's at it he may as well perfect socialism, eradicate poverty, kill every terrorist, reinvent the internet, redefine democracy and defeat the Mexican drug cartels. Oh, and make love to Lois Lane 007 style. " 'Bama. Barack Obama."
Get a grip, Ms. Clift.
After 8 years of Bush and 8 of Clinton, Bill that is, Obama brings a certain breath of fresh air with his outspokenness and hispercieved listening ability. No wonder some go gaga over him. As I often said wait and see what comes out of it all. At any rate ut can't be worse than the last 24 years Bush/Clinton/Bush.
ReplyDeleteTrue enough but Clift was just as bad (if not worse) in her rabid defense of the Clinton couple.
ReplyDeleteI just wish rhetoric based on emotion (Clinton was the master) rather than logic would cease.
I think Obama seems at least willing to go that route.
Indeed
