^So I guess now Iraq is Hillary's fault? I didn't know she wielded that much power. I seem to remember a Republican president and congress being in control at that time, and also damn near anyone who didn't support the war being characterized as a flag-burning anti-patriot, even by many average people.

And at least Hillary has the courage to actually vote, which means she wasn't afraid to answer for herself or where she stands. This article is more of the same self-interested "blame-game" that we've been seeing for a while now. Blaming people isn't going to improve my life. An apology for something won't either. But I guess it makes for great news.

This is where the repubs begin to get their "free pass" for the damage of the past 8 years. But the fall-out from the democratic fight can't be totally described as a "talent for self-destruction" when the media is largely, if not totally, controlled by conservative interests.

****As for this guy's comment about Obama's speech on race being "the most remarkable utterance on the subject by a public figure in modern memory", I'm reminded of the disengenuous nature with which everyone seems to be handling this matter; it's a chess game loaded with subterfuge. The media fawns, but what does it mean for how he would fix our country's problems? What, if anything, do republicans have to gain by his nomination?

I thought the piece Charles Krauthammer wrote was a great analysis of it. He appears toward the middle of this clip and comments further:

YouTube - Obama - Mr. Unity - Smears Grandma TWICE in 2 days
