Clinton Needed To Kick Obama In The Balls; Needed To Come Out Swinging

The CNN debate last night was Hillary’s to loose; and, she did!

In the past few weeks, journalists have finally started to awaken from their self-imposed trance to begin the vetting of Barack Obama that should have been done a long time ago.

More and more articles raise issues with the cult-like style of Obama’s campaign as well as the apparent inability of the candidate to articulate what exactly he means by “change” and how he would go about bringing it off.

So, last night was the perfect opportunity for Hillary Clinton to come out swinging: She needed to call him a fraud and a fake to his face and say why; she needed to point out that since he keeps saying how much in agreement he is with her, then what would he be changing; she needed to underline how many of his positions were actually advanced first by others, including herself; she needed to kick him in the balls.

Kicking Obama in the Balls

Now, that probably sounds harsh, but it was what was needed to demonstrate to potential voters how much they have been taken-in (those who have) by the Obama “movement.”

Maybe she doesn’t have it in her, or maybe her advisors told her not to loose her cool and try and come off as presidential. Whatever. It didn’t work!

It was Clinton’s last chance to come out fighting and, instead, she came out like a diplomat.

Bad move.

But, it raises an interesting point that must be considered: If Hillary couldn’t or wouldn’t put on the boxing gloves last night, maybe she doesn’t have what it takes to be President of the United States?

Something to mull over.
