"Obama is a special gift from God."

Isn't that what they said about Bush?

I'd rather do without any more "gifts from God," thank you. Enough people have died or had their lives ruined with his latest.

Yes, it is a big concern.

I have clients who are on the "Obama is Jesus" bandwagon. These are people who, like me, see bush for what he is and revile the bush criminal cabal. We are all lifelong democrats.

But some of these Obama partisans, like some of my clients, start mouthing talking points against Clinton that have rather obvious roots. Terms like "Billary" and "Hillarycare" are common when deriding anything to do with Clinton. It's like listening to Fox news after its inception ten years ago.

I try to tell them that Clinton isn't the enemy, the republicans are. I even ask, "so, if Clinton gets the nomination, you're voting for McCain?" They answer "No. But I don't want Billary!"

These people will likely either vote for McCain "to make a statement," or not vote at all.

The remark about this being clutish is exactly right.
