Such Eloquence is Necessary in a Leader

The Democrats were stinging from the lack of support the democrats received from the working class white families of the South. How to deal with the loss of their support? Should we reach out to them? Let's ask Hillary Clinton.

"Screw 'em. You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you. You don't have to do anything for them."

That's not quite as couched as Barack Obama's answer. It's brutal honesty like this that makes me proud to be an American. Hillary Clinton is right up there with Tom Delay in terms of respect for those who disagree with their position (Delay once in an interview said that non-republicans would not get an appointment to speak with him because they are "not on our side").

But, it's ok for her to attack Obama for saying something ineloquently, even something that her husband said in 1992. Even something that could be accurate (I'm not saying it is or is not, I'm saying it could be).
