    I think it’s clear that SNL needs to stick to comedy and get out of the overt endorsement business. But Morgan’s response to Fey’s overt endorsement really touched on some concerns that MANY Democrats have with Hillary. Many of us feel that she is often trying to have her cake and eat it, too.

    ‘I have 35 years experience’ vs ‘America would benefit from a CoPresidency’ (can she do it on her own or does she need her husband?)

    “I’m ready. I’m tested. ” vs “Why do I always seem get the first question?”

    “I’ve got the battle scares. I can take it.” vs “They’re picking on me because I’m a woman” (Al Qeada isn’t going to be any easier on you…)

    “He got advice from Rezko, received $250,000 from a Rezko fundraiser (which was later donated to charity), paid market value for land, and released on documents pertaining to these issues”. vs “I’m not going to talk about the $850,000 I received from Norman Hsu (swindled seniors in a massive ponzai scheme). Received over $2m from Peter Paul while at the same time public disavowed even knowing this man. Google ‘Paul v Clinton’. And do we need to rehash old real estate deals? Whitewater, anyone?

    “I support the war and vote in full confidence to authorize the use of force”. vs “I really didn’t agree with it at the time and I now regret my vote”.

    “I support NAFTA”. vs “I never really supported NAFTA”.

    “Why would Obama associate with an admitted terrorist like William Ayers” (the two served on a Chicago area poverty board; Ayers is a respected professor at the Univ of Chicago). vs “Bill Clinton pardon a member of the Weather Underground (which Ayers was a member of). Bill Clinton – at the behest of Hillary Clinton to gain Hispanic support for her NY Senate campaign – pardon members of the FALN terrorist group. This group killed numerous people including law enforcement. This presidential pardon was widely condemned by both parties in both houses.”

    “The media brings up more negative stories about me than they do Obama.” vs the kid gloves that she’s been treated with by not having the tough questions about her past, her numerous indictments and close calls, her largely marginal ‘experience’, outright refusals to release public documents that could lead to criminal charges, and should we go on? It’s tough to find that amount of dirt on a guy who’s worst crimes appear to be an excitable preacher, paying fair market value for property from a guy that would later be indicted, and helping poor people with a guy that was a 1960’s radical while in college.

    Lastly, Experience. Oh she has it all right? Go check out her Senate record. A paltry 20 or so pieces of topical legislation like naming post offices and honoring a lacrosse team. Obama has introduced hundreds of important pieces of legislation, many of them have been signed into law. He’s done more in a year at the Senate than Clinton has introduced in her career.

    I am really tired of the Clinton machine. I was neutral to them at the start of the race, but they’re absolutely dirty politics have downright sickened me.

    This rant shows exactly why Obama should NOT be president.
