21. Finally, a DUer who gets it about Bill Clinton's schmoozing with people the rest of us don't like.

Bill has an overarching set of goals and is driven by a sense that his time on Earth is short. And Hillary, as his partner in life, shares those goals. People accept that Jimmy and Roslynne Carter are partners in their work as well as in their marriage. The Clintons are real different -- but they share that trait.

The photos of Hillary and Bill with people like the Bushes that set DUers to spitting flames don't bother me because the work of the Foundation provides the context.

As for Obama -- I have no idea yet what he wants to do, but if he should want the Court, I hope he gets a seat on it.
