Feinstein is NOT an “old fashioned Democrat” as some might reflexively suggest. Think Zell Miller when you think of THAT kind of Democrat. She is a radical Leftist.
So what’s her angle, you ask? Simple. The Clinton machine is lining up for the kill. Hillary is ramping up her “public support” for Israel, her allies in Congress are criticizing Obama on foreign and military policy...It’s just starting. It’s likely this is an attempt to allow many Congressional Democrats to separate themselves from Obama for the 2010 elections, hoping to preserve the Democrat majority in both houses. I think it will work. And if it does, they’ll be solid with “The One” as soon as the election is over, and work hard and unanimously for his re-election/re-coronation for the 2012 election...
It’s all politics people. Don’t give any credit to Feinstein she doesn’t deserve. DON’T trust her — but DO exploit her words, regardless of her motives.
We can only hope.
