Mrs. Clinton stumping in Maine as a Democratic candidate made me laugh when she said that when she drove by the Maine mills inactive, they should get up and running [words to that effect]... they should be burning wood- with all the trees in Maine. It was in her speech in Lewiston, Maine; but never reported. I could just picture little Leprechaun laborers lugging logs to an enormous wood fired furnace all day long..for what purpose?
It would be refreshing if a pol knew American history intimately enough to stir local crowds by speaking to their unique American inheritance. I would want a Pennsylvania speech to rally the community to the sacrifices of Valley Forge, a Texas crowd to the Alamo, an Hawaiian crowd to Pearl Harbor, etc. For somebody conversant with, and passionate about our history, those types of things are straight from the heart.
Indeed.
But Hillary or Obama can make stupid statements and the MSM ignores them.
Let Michelle or Sarah slip up and they rant for weeks or months or years about it.
