(14,318 posts)I admit that I did not approve of some of the tactics used by the Clintons during the primary. Combined with the seemingly much more progressive platform of Obama, and the fact that he did not want the Iraq war sealed the deal.
But now as we see that it was all a shell game, and that Obama is following Tony Blair's example in working hard for the 1% in the hopes of setting him and his family up with lucrative positions on multinational corporation's executive boards once he leaves office.
So now I have a slim hope that Hillary will run and win and actually be more than another opportunistic politician. That she will have learned from her husbands time in office and will have some perspective and not be simply hell-bent on pleasing the corporate class and only have derision for the progressive base of her own party.
