The Difference Between Fighting and Fighting
Does it need to be pointed out that Senator Clinton confuses what it means to "fight for" someone rather than "fight with" someone? For all its successes, the Clinton Presidency she claims partial credit for was 8 years of fighting with/against people. Sadly that form of fighting was louder than any "fighting for."

It was a missed opportunity for Obama. When Sen. Clinton touted herself as a fighter, he should have said, "Too often, being a 'fighter' means merely being pugnacious, which becomes the problem rather than the solution. Look what happened with the first go round with healthcare."

I really wish someone, anyone, but especially Obama, would point this out. For all of Clinton's campaigning about unfair treatment by the media she has been given a free pass, constantly touting a failure as experience.

Good call. This is the important distinction here.
