(11,464 posts)Al Gore foolishly ran from the Clintons.(same Clinton's that named him VP).
Whereas Obama embraced them and will 100% back Hillary.
Obama was smart enough to know that Hillary wasn't some failed candidate who needed to be shunned, but put her in an important post in her cabinet, and welcomed Bill's help.
And Hillary winning in 2016 and 2020 will solidify Clinton's standing as President.
Again, you seem to equate Obama with Gore and Kerry.
No, Obama is better than either of them. He is a two term president. And #4 of all time in my book.
Great as the others were, they are not on the placemats of the presidents, and 100 years from now, only the Presidents/VPs will be remembered (so Gore will be remembered as he is immortal from being VP.)
But specifics like the names of who Lincoln beat are lost to history.
Remember when Obama said that business weren't built by themselves.
Obama is smart enough to know a winner does not get seated by themselves.
It takes many people and doing things needed to secure the seat.
To whine about those not seated misses the point.
Obama won fair and square and it was the community organization that won and secured victory.
So you see, you lost your own argument.
Obama won because he is the single best community organizer who became President.
Obama won because while you could say he was the second term of Jimmy, he was a better politician than Jimmy.
and that is why he both defeated Hillary in 2008, but will 100% back her and she will win in 2016.
Because to keep attaining what he wants, it will be done.
In retrospect- what harm would it have caused PRESIDENT GORE to have had him campaign wholeheartedly with him? After all, voters liked the ticket in 1996.
In retrospect-it would have given Al Gore quite possibly Arkansas, and in Florida.
Bill was loved in Florida in 1996. or did you forget that?
(btw- placements on ballots is a normal perk of the sitting governor. It is the community organizations that is suppose to tell voters exactly how to vote. It is not theft if they vote the wrong way, nor is it unusual.
As we have private voting(instead of on camera with each voter saying allowed, on camera whom they voted for), somebody has to go first, second, third.
Are you, who is supporting Nader and 3rd parties, now saying 3rd parties should not be in the same part as dems/repubs?
