Donuts And Politics

Clinton on Wright yesterday:

I think given all we have heard and seen, he would not have been my pastor….You don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.

For the past week, she has virtually no comment on the whole thing. Ok, fine. That’s respectable at least, even though she could have come out and defended Obama since she has known him for a few years and should know Wright’s statements don’t reflect Obama’s views.  Now she comes out and says that. When asked about why she was bringing it up now (oh, what was that about snipers in Bosnia?), she said she was just asked a question about it SO SHE ANSWERED IT.  Give me a break! Politicians can answer questions in whatever way they choose and that’s how she CHOSE to answer it.

So, now we turn to the GOP nominee, asked a similar question today in Denver, and McCain says this:

I can only say that I am sure, knowing Senator Obama, that he does not share the extreme views that were expressed that I saw on television.

Wow. The Republican candidate just stood up for Obama while the Democrat basically threw him under a bus. Just shows the desperation of the Clinton campaign and how low they will stoop to try and steal this nomination. Frankly, I would have thought the quotes were reversed. You may be surprised that I am being so charitable and nice to the future GOP nominee, but I gotta give props to him when he deserves it.

His policies, on the other hand, I may never say anything nice about. We’ll see. There may be a few good things he has done, but he’s probably changed his positions on those in the last six months to match Bush. Bush, I just don’t have anything nice to say about at this point policy-wise or personally, so I just won’t say anything at all. Right now.
