Figuring Out Anger At The Clintons

By The Daily Dish
Jan 25 2008, 8:33 AM ET

A reader's eureka moment:

For the last six years, I’ve watched a fear-mongering fool manipulate us, ruin our standing in the world and abuse our principles.  It’s been hard to feel good about our country.  But when Obama won Iowa and surged in the New Hampshire polls I thought I’d underestimated us.  For the first time in my lifetime, my cynical generation was turning out heavily to vote. We were choosing, above all else, to be inspired.

Now, the Clinton campaign has gradually and expertly eviscerated him, and it turns out we’re not that country.  We’re still easily manipulated; we’re still scared; and we’re still a little racist.  It’s hard not to resent her for that.
