Obama was wrong.

[hedgehog]

he called Hillary Clinton "likeable enough". Call me sexist if you will, but I have watched Hillary thoughout this campaign resort to the tactics used by Junior High "Queen Bees". She's pleasant in the presence of authority figures but then she sneaks in remarks like last night's "he's not a Moslem, as far as I know ".

So Obama is wrong. Hillary is not "likeable enough".

1. Let's leave that judgment to the voters, shall we? n/t

12. They have been, and soundly rejecting her shrill ass since Super Tuesday

The more people her corrosive brand of politics, the more they reject her. I say she should run through the convention and put a stake in the heart of the Clinton Machine and the DLC. It'd be a breath of fresh air for the Democrats.

13. Hey. "Shrill," is a sexist code word, you know.

She'll drop it in two days. I'm no fan of the DLC, but this kind of rhetoric (stake in the heart?) is repulsive.

2. "likeable" does not equal a good president

According to about 80% of Americans, John McCain is "likeable."

Bush was likable too, as I recall. Everybody wanted to have

a beer with him.

7. Yes

And I don't need to like my president, or fawn over her, or faint in the aisle when she speaks, or be mesmerized by her, or think she is some savior going to rock my world. I just need her to get shit done and that's it!

3. That's not a quote. That's the HillHater's paraphrase, THIS is what was said:

After she said "Of course not"

“No. No, there is nothing to base that on. As far as I know,” she said.

“It's just scurrilous…?” Kroft inquired.

“Look, I have been the target of so many ridiculous rumors, that I have a great deal of sympathy for anybody who gets, you know, smeared with the kind of rumors that go on all the time,” Clinton said.

10. You're right, he was wrong.

She isn't likable at all which is why a Hillary nomination will ensure a McCain presidency.

11. No, she's not. But you can't fault him for telling such a little white lie
