Well, if not more corrupt, at least AS corrupt. The difference is he is not as practiced and clever at covering up his tracks. Obama is a nouveau con-artist, but a con-artist just the same. He has not had the years of experience to build-up a clan of loyal, dependent followers who are worried about being exposed for their crimes. He also does not have all the connections in politics to offer protection to those with whom he has had questionable dealings and associations to keep them safe from prying eyes and investigations. And he has not had as much time wielding power over others and manipulating them.

When Hillary (and Bill) state that she is more experienced than Obama, the reference is more appropriately to her sinister abilities, not her presidential capabilities! She just knows how to play the political game better.

Neither one is presidential material or good for our country, and both certainly are corrupt. The "change" that Obama brings is that he is a new-breed of political criminal who arrogantly and foolishly thinks he can get to where the Clintons are without a lifetime of practice in the arena. He is being proven wrong, obviously. There aren't many who "owe" Obama for anything - particularly political favors, jobs, money, etc. Thus he doesn't share in the protective cover the Clintons have enjoyed.

The main thing that Obama has relied upon is the race card. I can bet he felt the time was right to burst upon the scene based on the politically correct temperature of the U.S. As much as he publically states race should not be an issue, I am sure -- that early in his planning -- he and his supporters knew/felt that being the first black candidate is all that was needed to catapult him into the forefront, combined with playing on the white guilt of liberals. I mean, why has he pushed to be recognized for being the "first black..." when, actually, he is 50% white, thus the first "bi-racial presidential candidate." He could have accepted his whiteness as much as his black heritage, but being black gets him more traction with that segment of the U.S. But, he forgot that dues have to be paid, favors have to be given, and protection offered for followers who carried out subversive orders if one wants to succeed in their type of politics, no matter what color one's skin is. Obama has not accumulated that much power among his counterparts and hangers-on. His downfall will come; there will be no long history of Obama as with the Clintons who have spent years and years building their machine. Obama is the proverbial "Flash in the pan."
