PROVIDENCE, R.I. – On Saturday, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton showed her angry side, admonishing Senator Barack Obama for a campaign mailing that she called misleading.

On Sunday, before a rally of several thousand, she added a heavy dose of sarcasm.

“Now I could stand up here and say, let’s get everybody together, let’s get unified the sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing,” she said, to a smattering of giggles. “And everyone will know we should do the right thing, and the world will be perfect.”

She added: “But I have no illusions about how hard this is going to be. You are not going to wave a magic wand and make the special interests disappear.”

What is this woman thinking? She got really positive press for her sweet little act at the end of the last debate. Some delusional people were starting to warm up to her, and now she reminds them what a witch she really is.

Probably she’s a crazy woman.

You're not? But isn't that how you're going to make poverty disappear? Isn't that how you're going to grant every American with health care? Isn't that how you're going to win the war on terra? Isn't that how you're going to revitalize the economy?

What is this woman thinking?

When has she ever thunk about anything ?

[JasonC]

She doesn't think, she emotes. She is toxic, political poison, the easiest person to despise in the history of modern politics. The wonder is that New York ever elected her. But then that was a sympathy thing, and Rudy getting out of her way.

Sorta..except she's going to wave a magic wand and make your wallet disappear.

“Special interests”...like Wingle Paw and Norman Hsu and those library donors and the PR terrorists?

Hillary is not taking defeat well.

[libh8er]

Desperation.

[mortal19440]

what a witch she really is.

Did you mean witch? I was thinking of something else.

I have a feeling that NY will not necessarily be her playground in the future. Thier are plenty of ambitious younger RATS in this state. Andrew Cuomo is likely to get in her way once the Preseidential election is all said and done. He wants the political poistions that are normally reserved for NY’s entitled and best (mafioso) family.

Stinging sarcasm is a form of wit, the best of which comes from highly intelligent people.

I am loving every moment of this.

“Now I could stand up here and say, let’s get everybody together, let’s get unified the sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing,”

If this came from someone other than Hillary, it'd actually be kind of funny. Obama's campaign is ridiculous and deserves this sort of mockery. The problem is that Hillary has zero credibility. One minute, she's saying how much she admires Obama and what an incredible honor it is to share a stage with him. The next minute, she's saying that he's basically a joke. Which is it? The latter, obviously, but Hillary can't have it both ways.

Why does Hillary have orange breasts hanging above her head?

Um, Hillary, aren't you supposed to be appealing to the utopian far-left during the nomination process? You know, the people who run the media...if you try to snuff out their dreams, they are only going to paint you as a cynic of miracles, and that "YES WE CAN!" echo chamber is going to get a lot louder.

The moderates (those to the right of Stalin and to the left of JFK) are wetting their pants over "change" (I'd want change if my pants were wet, but I digress).

So really dear, your talk of reality only appeals to the Right, and having you go down in electoral flames is to our fantasies what a room full of young green eager interns is to your husband's fantasies.

So you have either made a gross miscalculation, or you are setting up Obama for your revenge by trapping him into a position of far-leftism even more extreme than that which he aims for.
