The Illinois Senator is still a young man, but not so young as to have missed the 1990s. He nonetheless seems to be awakening slowly to what everyone else already knows about the Clintons, which is that they will say and do whatever they "gotta" say or do to win. Listen closely to Mr. Obama, and you can almost hear the echoes of Bob Dole at the end of the 1996 campaign asking, "Where's the outrage?" Full Story »

This does NOT show the big picture. I love how conservatives will rip apart Bill, when the current regime is sooo much better at 'doing what ya gotta do' than even Slick Willie. At least Clinton does it with style, & without rancor or hate.
This is an attack on the Clintons from the editorial section of the Wall Street Journal. While the argument itself may be sound, by not putting it in a larger political context, one doesn't know what to make of the Clintons' tactics. Do other politicians do the same thing? worse?
A few errors; Ken Starr was a rabid partisan on a witch hunt. And the author denigrates Obama by assuming he is naive and being educated. The problem may rather be how Obama can counter the attacks and maintain a positive message of hope. The dirty tricks of the Clintons are perhaps forged by having to counter the masters of dirty tricks as embodied in Richard Nixon, Karl Rove, and the swift-boaters. As an example, this story from a right wing corporate journal, manages to attack both Clinton and Obama under the guise of sympathy and undeserved self pity.
Great witty article.. Regardless of your belief's it makes you crack a smile and reflect on the past and the present all at one time.
