Thank you, Obama for entering this race because now some on the left are starting to wake up and view the Clintons in a more realistic light. There is a reason we dislike them and now the left is learning from experience what the reason is: they are liars and unethical and will do anything to get and retain power.

Something strange happened the other day. All these different people — friends, co-workers, relatives, people on a liberal e-mail list I read — kept saying the same thing: They’ve suddenly developed a disdain for Bill and Hillary Clinton. Maybe this is just a coincidence, but I think we’ve reached an irrevocable turning point in liberal opinion of the Clintons.

The sentiment seems to be concentrated among Barack Obama supporters. Going into the campaign, most of us liked Hillary Clinton just fine, but the fact that tens of millions of Americans are seized with irrational loathing for her suggested that she might not be a good Democratic nominee. But now that loathing seems a lot less irrational. We’re not frothing Clinton haters like … well, name pretty much any conservative. We just really wish they’d go away.

The Clinton campaign is trying to make it seem as if the complaint is about negativity, and it is pointing out that Obama has criticized Hillary as well. That’s what politicians are supposed to do when they compete for votes. But criticism isn’t the same thing as lying and sleaze-mongering.

But the conservatives might have had a point about the Clintons’ character. Bill’s affair with Monica Lewinsky jeopardized the whole progressive project for momentary pleasure. The Clintons gleefully triangulated the Democrats in Congress to boost his approval rating. They do seem to have a feeling of entitlement to power.

But at the end of the piece he admits that he’ll still vote for Clinton in the general. If the left really want them to go, then they will have to sit this one out for the good of their party. Of course the left will never do that and they will always have the Clintons like an albatross around their neck — the standard-bearer for the party 🙂 liars and manipulators and you knew and voted anyone. They really do represent you, don’t they.
