A quote from Jill Biden about Hillary has been popping into my head for a while
Anyone have thoughts about it? I don't know much about the history of Biden & the Clintons.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/04/AR2008010400025_pf.html

"
The candidate is sitting in a car in a parking lot in Des Moines on Wednesday evening, doing one last interview before heading out to press the flesh with caucusgoers. His wife, Jill, is in the front seat.

The pundits, "they think I'm not calculating," too blunt, Biden says.

"I would hope that Joe would never be a politician like Hillary Clinton," Jill interjects softly.

"Oh, c'mon now," Biden says. "Stop that."

"He thinks with his head and his heart," she says.

Biden says he's just doing his best to be straight with people. That's his thing. People want authenticity, Biden says. "They can smell it when it's not real."

2. It would have been Sooo Nice to have a President you believed in
That when it came time to make a decision, especially in world affairs, that you could feel confident that an intelligent decision would be made by him (Biden) and people around him in the know, that they had been there and done that with others around the world. That is what I miss with the two candidates we have to choose from. I feel no sincerity from Clinton, only political calculations. Is she mentally sharp enough to handle the disaster george has brought to this country? With Obama I feel he understand the problem, sometimes understanding the problem is half the battle. He comes off as being mentally sharp. We don't know how either of them will handle the situation in Iraq and that is major. It is understandable that they can not give details about our leaving that country, but, how about discussing what is really happening or not happening over there. We must leave for the sake of the entire ME and our own honor and dignity.

Jill's remark is truly interesting!

He's savvy enough not to offend her highness, I think he's going Barack at some point. :hi:

6. I think we could leave the "B" and still know the true reference within the group, and
at the same time also contribute to ambiguity "out there" which is something an Idiot thrives on.
