And what did Obama's press release say?

Hey, are we going to have a debate in Pennsylvannia....or, are we going to have a contest to see who can apologize the most?

Yeah, apologies have become the staple of the Democratic Party's campaign philosophy. Let's see who can be the most pathetic at not being tough?

Look, all this Geraldine Ferarro stuff could have been handled with more confidence. If Barack was so upset, why didn't Barack just fire back with, "Well, Hillary is where she is because she's a woman who is married to a former president?"

Instead, we go through all this mea culp, mea culp that just does not appeal to anyone except the NPR Michael Moore Liberal Utopian crowd (and later I plan to get into why so many Michael Moore enthusiasts have flocked to NPR...after Air America has mostly gone finanically belly up).

Does a constant stream of mea culpa really turn on the core of American values' voters? History sort of say it doesn't. Americans don't like politicians who gravel. If your president is the kind who gravels and begs and cries, then you are a person who gravels and begs and cries.

Yes, Michael Moore Liberal Utopians like to gravel and beg and cry. Which is why the core value of Americans detest Michael Moore Liberal Utopians, and it's why Michael Moore Liberal Utopians lost in 2004. It's bad taste to sympathize with al-Qaeda, then gravel and beg and cry, is what the voters said.

So, I much prefer Hillary over Barack. In fact, I'm getting to the point where I much prefer Ron Paul over Barack. I definitely prefer Dennis Kucinich over Barack. I actually prefer Barry Bonds over Barack. Barry Bonds can't get close to America's nuclear arsenal. Barack Obama is a dangerous, inexperienced candidate who worries me every time I think of him with his trigger on a fifty-megaton nuclear launch device.

Hillary started to bother me when she started to apologize for Geraldine Ferarro's comments that Barack Obama is a lucky black man. Okay, Geraldine could have said Barack is a lucky half black man, or a half white man. Whatever. But Geraldine Ferarro merely said what many, many, many Democrats and Republicans are saying.

Call us all racists, will you? And see where that gets you.

Anyway, Hillary, if you are going to debate, don't apologize. Kick Barack Obama's rear end from one end of the stage to the other. And you will get more votes.

Hillary, don't be a wimp like Barack Obama.

These debates are useless exercise. What Obama and Clinton need to do is separate White House style press conference once a week till the end of the primaries.

It is all about good judgement and not experience. Experience on its known does not cut it.
Remember history:
A look at other Presidents underlines the lesson. In the four years before the Civil War, James Buchanan [the only man between 'W' and GT12's Award as 'Worst President Ever] led the nation. He had held so many high offices over the years that he was known as "Mr. Government." It didn't help him or the country a jot.
Buchanan failed to head off the bloodshed that would soon engulf the country, and he is now remembered as one of, if not the worst, President in our history.
Inexperienced Abraham Lincoln was, happily, another story.
Woodrow Wilson had an impressive record before entering the Oval Office; history has not been kind to his legacy - or to his decision to enter the "war to end all wars."
Herbert Hoover, one of the most experienced public figures ever to get to the White House, demonstrated dreadful judgment in believing that the Depression would resolve itself with minimal government intervention.
