The political knifes are drawn

[Griff]

She is an interesting mix of liberalism and old "boy" networking. Instead of honestly fighting for a true single payer system she chose the political expediency of a system that will eventually destroy employer-based private health insurance which imho will be much more painful in transition than an honestly planned change-over. She presided over a bank bailout without improved anti-monopoly rules. I know you have a bone to pick with conservative democrats and they had their part to play but she was the leader. Her tone has always been to placate the left with their unrealistic visions of how economies work so her face-time in front of the cameras always helps the GOP.

If Obama can show himself to be a middle way between the factions of true-believers, he could pull a Clinton and actually get some of America's work done.
