To: Holding Our Breath; Molly Pitcher
Good morning HOB. I've been reading Molly's links too and the enclosed statement from the WSJ piece about Obama has me scratching my head.

For whatever reason, Mr. Obama has failed to do what Mr. Clinton did in 1992 – run as a "new" Democrat who favors some conservative policies (ending welfare as we know it, supporting free trade, criticizing the "butchers of Beijing," and famously criticizing Sister Souljah).

Now, I know my memory isn't what it used to be, but didn't Clinton veto the welfare reform bills at least twice? IOW, before being basically forced to finally sign on?

In view of the Chinese funny-money campaign contributions, the "butchers of Beijing" comment was clearly rhetoric to appeal to voters and the WSJ using it as an example of Clintoon favoring conservative policies is both laughable and disappointing.

Regarding Sistah Souljah.....while I remember about her "never met a decent white person" comment.....I don't recall Clinton's supposed denouncement of her and would speculate that her inflamed racism claims FORCED him into making a public statement againt them, similar to Obama and Jeremiah Wright.

Or am I not remember correctly about these instances??
