Chilly Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 This whole Democratic primary is amusing. Obama denouncing his pastor now after he made absolutely no comments, acting like he's shocked and amazed, in order to win over voters. And he's not like other politicians, right....

This has to be the wackiest presidential campaign I've ever seen. And tomorrow is only May 1st. We've got 6 more months of this shiit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sniper fire!!! Look out Hillary!!!! http://www.mcclatchydc.com/election2008/story/35337.html Well...if she phrased a rebuttal along the lines of "The deal Bill set up kept jobs in the US. When the Chinese reneged on the deal, Bush should have blocked the plant move," that would probably make more sense. It would ignore two simple facts - the SALE was a done-deal well before Bush got in office, and I'm not sure the White House can block the move of foreign-owned manufacturing overseas. But it would make more sense. It would also leave her and Bill open to the charge of engaging in their typical Clinton practice of making sweetheart deals to avoid dealing with things no matter WHAT the long-term consequences are ("Sure, we'll let you have a manufacturing company that makes sensitive national security related material...but could you not make waves while we're in office?")...but it would still make more sense.

PastaJoe Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 "In response, the Clinton campaign said that Bill Clinton's administration had gotten assurances at the time it approved the deal that production would remain inside the United States, and that the shift of jobs to China didn't occur until under the Bush administration." She admits in retrospect that it was a bad decision given what occurred, and would make a different decision now. She's willing to say not all policies, like NAFTA, worked out as intended despite the best of intentions. Nothing wrong with learning from the past so it's not repeated.

PastaJoe Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 In otherwords, she admits she lacks foresight. She admits that you have to be willing to adapt and change policies when they don't work as intended, or others in power don't follow through on the original plans.

"When others in power don't follow through on the original plan"? Are you actually serious? The Clinton Administration acted with a lack of foresight in turning over a manufacturer to a foreign entity based on a caveat that couldn't be enforced...and it's Bush's fault because Hillary has the hindsight to see he was wrong in not enforcing someone else's unenforcable policy and correcting her husband's lack of foresight?

It's funny... she states that one would have to be willing to adapt and change. But she has a hard time saying that NAFTA was a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Ah yes, the Law of Unintended Consequences. She would impale by the spleen any who fail to recognize her true, pure intentions, question her right to rule as she sees fit, or bring her version of havoc to the world.
