Reply #140: something that happened differently with Clinton than with Obama must be the product of racial bias. [View All]

Indeed... you cannot conclude this.... though you may muse about it.

But comparing Clinton to Obama is apple and oranges because of the times.

Mainly.... the Right was just starting to go completely nuts, the media was not as saturated with conservative bias and there was not the urgency and desperation coupled with just plain weird and oppressive local laws being passed by the GOP/Teabaggers.

There's a sense today that huge things must be done....NOW...right now. Not after they've sat down and had a chat, gone back and forth and then have whatever comes out go into effect 5 years later. The Bushies hadn't made the country look like a complete fail yet for Clinton.

Obama is too weak and slow and ineffective for the urgency of the problems and the emboldenment of the GOP who simply won't play ball. This has NOTHING to do with his race and everything to do with the current zeitgeist. Something that cannot be ignored.
