The one person whom Hillary thought she would never could never have to run against was, of course, Bill. It was Bill, in fact, who consoled her last winter, after she was less than inspiring at Coretta Scott Kings funeral, with the observation that she would never have to face a charmer like himself. He told her trying to be reassuring, I guess: "You dont have to be better at this than me. You got to be better than whoever." But, oh dear, who would have thought the "whoever" she now may face would be so reminiscent of the Bill Clinton who unexpectedly captured the Democratic nomination in 1992.
Obama has several components of the Bill Factor. First of all there is the Great Personal Story. Bill's was "poor boy from Arkansas makes good," as he used his smarts to go to Georgetown, Yale, and win a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford. Obama's is much the same, another tale of "poor boy makes good" that sees the protagonist end up at an Ivy League school. And Obama was the first black president of The Harvard Law Review, which is as impressive as winning a Rhodes.

If he's really got the "Bill Factor"--- is it boxers, or briefs?
In my opinion this shows the true colors of Democrats as true racists. I do not like Obama but Hitlery will do everything she can to discredit him. Right! She just shows how she does not give a damn about her party or the country, she is so power hungery that its discusting.
Truth is, I kind of like Obama because he's personable. That's it, though.
See how personable you think he is after you read his record in Illinois.
