Obama probably thinks it's all down Hill-ary from here

Yes, Barack Obama is loved and adored and is being crowned and carried on the shoulders of his young admirers, who are so thirsty for a hero.
 
Yes, Obama is on a roll, winning all those primaries hand over fist...but I can't shake the feeling that while he's a mile wide, he's only an inch deep. I'm not saying I don't admire the man, I do...but I think he needs to be more seasoned. What's wrong with waiting a few years? He's young.
 
People are too bowled over by his charisma. Hillary doesn't have charisma. I don’t care, I don't trust charisma.
 
Let's face it, if Barack Obama was a woman nobody would give him the time of day. A female of his age and experience wanting to be commander in chief? Why, the Military alone would be in full scale mutiny at such a ridiculous notion.
 
It makes you wonder if women have it worse than black men in America. Remember, black men got the vote 51 years before women did. Black men--in 1869 (15th Amendment), women--in 1920 (19th Amendment.)
 
Last night's debate shows that Hillary Clinton is a fighter. She fights for children and families. She fights for women's rights around the world. She fights for health care...for veterans' health care too.
 
Hillary needs to pound home that theme--"I'm a fighter."
 
Last night at the last debate, she took no prisoners. It looked like Obama wanted to just get it over with without making any mistakes. But he didn't say anything of significance. I didn't like the way he danced around the Farrakhan question. He almost seemed bored. I didn't see any passion in him.
 
Hillary showed passion and enthusiasm. She relishes politics and it shows. She knows from experience that politics is not a tea party. She knows this animal inside and out and will get things done...exactly for the same reasons that Obama’s fan base derides her.
 
Yes, Hillary has made mistakes. But that’s because she’s made hard choices. Obama goes to Congress and sometimes ducks tough issues by voting "Present."
 
Our next president needs to be a fighter--determined, stoical, and experienced. Someone who is inured to being blamed and smeared. I just think Hillary would be a better warrior than Barack.
 
She certainly wasn't afraid to speak up for herself last night at the debate, the flash in her eyes was obvious:
 
SEN. CLINTON: "Well, can I just point out that in the last several debates, I seem to get the first question all the time. And I don't mind. I -- you know, I'll be happy to field them, but I do find it curious, and if anybody saw "Saturday Night Live," you know, maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow. (Laughter, boos.) I just find it kind of curious that I keep getting the first question on all of these issues. But I'm happy to answer it."
 
I'm really glad she mentioned the bias...it needed to be said.
 
And do you want to see how ugly the bias can get? Allow me to introduce you to the "Bro's Before Ho's" Barack & Hillary T-Shirts. They even have them for children.

Lucky Obama is a bro...
 
I swear, anyone with a mother, daughter or younger sister should be concerned with this kind of crap. I can't believe it's the 21st century and this stuff is still considered cool.
