if you don't see it (5.00 / 9) (#4)

you never will.  And I don't mean that as a nasty or critical remark.  Language is a fluid and beautiful thing, but each section of society has its code and its understanding of what certain phrases or terms mean, and what Obama said is a kick in the groin.  The fact that Andrea Mitchell, who is not exactly gung-ho for Clinton, picked up on this gives me some hope that we're not completely lost as a people.

(and then Cream might remind us all of the fact that Michelle Obama would not take a job until her then-fiance met her boss and gave his stamp of approval...)

the words can be taken that way.  I don't think they were intended that way.  Unless you want to apply the Clinton Rules! :)

Clintons always have bad motive. Obama never has intend. Now, the allegation was that Bill was so smart that he never said anything that did not have a purpose or intent. Is Obama that stupid?

Because even though he's a fantastic orator and clearly understands the emotional impact of words, he's totally incapable of understanding the implications of that particular remark. Uh huh.

more times, or if the blogosphere continues to comment, he'll probably come up with that line.  To my knowledge, he has not really apologized for any of the things he has said about Hillary or Bill.  He knows words.  He certainly knows how tol paint feelings with them.

All women "periodically" lash out when their hormones go berserk, i.e., "periodically," and they feel "down," and try to boost their "appeal" by launching attacks (with their claws, of course--because really, women are savage, mindless  animals).  So how the hell can a woman be President of the U.S., and how can we trust a woman with that nuclear (or in Bush parlance, nuclur) button, with all these periodic malfunctions??????

Except that Hillary is probably past the preiodic malfunction stage, and into menopausal malfunctions, bringing up the even scarier story of witches . . . and the nuclear button!

Is that story true? Jeeze. (none / 0) (#10)

ditto for his "claws" remark.
