More Rats Jump Ship: 30-Year Clinton Friend And Cabinet Member Endorses Hussein The Fraud And Liar
Long-time Clinton crony and Secretary of Labor under Willlie, Robert Reich came out endorsing Hussein the Liar Obama today. I always figured Reich to be Tatoo to Clinton’s Mr. Roarke over there on Fantasy Island.
This from his blog:
“…he offers the best hope of transcending the boundaries of class, race, and nationality that have divided us. His life history exemplifies this, as do his writings and his record of public service. For these same reasons, he offers the best possibility of restoring America’s moral authority in the world.”
In an article for New York Magazine, John Heilemann writes:
…he (Reich) had planned to refrain from offering an official backing for Obama out of respect for Hillary. “She’s an old friend,” Reich said. “I’ve known her 40 years. I was absolutely dead set against getting into the whole endorsement thing. I’ve struggled with it. I’ve not wanted to do it. Out of loyalty to her, I just felt it would be inappropriate.”
So what’s changed? I asked Reich.
“I saw the ads” — the negative man-on-street commercials that the Clinton campaign put up in Pennsylvania in the wake of Obama’s bitter/cling comments a week ago — “and I was appalled, frankly. I thought it represented the nadir of mean-spirited, negative politics. And also of the politics of distraction, of gotcha politics. It’s the worst of all worlds. We have three terrible traditions that we’ve developed in American campaigns. One is outright meanness and negativity. The second is taking out of context something your opponent said, maybe inartfully, and blowing it up into something your opponent doesn’t possibly believe and doesn’t possibly represent. And third is a kind of tradition of distraction, of getting off the big subject with sideshows that have nothing to do with what matters. And these three aspects of the old politics I’ve seen growing in Hillary’s campaign. And I’ve come to the point, after seeing those ads, where I can’t in good conscience not say out loud what I believe about who should be president. Those ads are nothing but Republicanism. They’re lending legitimacy to a Republican message that’s wrong to begin with, and they harken back to the past twenty years of demagoguery on guns and religion. It’s old politics at its worst — and old Republican politics, not even old Democratic politics. It’s just so deeply cynical.”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
“Those (Hillary) ads are nothing but Republicanism. They’re lending legitimacy to a Republican message that’s wrong to begin with, and they harken back to the past twenty years of demagoguery on guns and religion.”
WTF?!? — Barack (redacted) Obama is the one that started the demagoging about guns and religion at the wealthy SF fund-ripper he attended that started this whole catfight.

What a wasted sperm.
I remember, years back, catching an interview he did with some airhead celebrity chick at a convention or something.
The horny little bastard was about shoulder height to her, and could not keep his eyes up. He was almost drooling the whole interview.
In his defense, though, she had a great rack.
