If you weren't old enough to vote during Clintons two terms, don't worry

You are not one of the white liberals Melissa Harris-Perry accuses of racism in her articles on electoral racism. Because there is no way you could have given Bill Clinton a pass and be holding Obama to a higher standard due to his race. If we are to accept Melissa Harris Perry's argument on white liberal electoral racism,

#1 you would have to have supported Bill Clinton. You couldn't have, you were to young.

#2 you would have had to have supported Bill Clinton, then supported Barack Obama in 2008, impossible because of #1

#3 you would have had to have supported Bill Clinton, then supported Barack Obama in 2008, and then become critical of him and threaten to withold not your vote but $$ and time, impossible because of #1.

So lucky you! Most 20 somethings are not racist. Good to know, huh??

The rest of you, I'm not so sure about.....

2. I'll take a poke with my pole.
#3 comes the closest. Voting since 1966.
I really started to pay attention when Whitewater appeared between the time Clinton won the election and when he was sworn in. If Whitewater had ant validity, why wasn't it brought up during the campaign?

That said, Bill Clinton is and was a Southern Democrat, Barack Obama is a DINO.

3. Personally I'm fine with both. Clinton a better politician, Obama more visionary. nt
