Hillary's Magic Wand (Not)
Hillary Clinton mocked Barack Obama for thinking he could make things better with the wave of a magic wand. She is either not paying attention or dishonest*. He is not talking about waving a magic wand. He is talking about leading a citezens movement.
She is the one that is promoting a plan that will not work. Political machinations cannot achieve radical change and defeat intrenched interests. They can, at best, tinker with the edges. She thought that universal coverage was such apopular idea that it would sail through congres last time. What she did not realize is that the popularity of an idea is irrelevant unless the people are informed and engaged. It takes a popular citizens movement. She learned nothing from her failure and is still trying to work washington instead of lead a nation. She cannot do it because she is all about what she can do in the back rooms. Barack is all about what WE can do.
Listen to the content of their speaches without getting hung up on delivery. She is all about what she can do for us. He is all about what WE can do together.
*My vote is for dishonest. She realy played me with the acting like she had some home training in the last 30 seconds of the last debate.

In the magic wand speech and others, it's like she's bragging about more partisan bickering, potentially shutting down the government like when her husband did. She wants conflict. Doesn't sound very good to me.

Were the words in Hillarys speech yesterday her own or those of a paid speech writer?
