This quote for Hot Air does raise a real issue with anyone campaigning against Obama in an amusing analogy; how does one challenge wide-eyed innocence and ‘Hope’ (actually, the appearance of same; preception is rarely reality in politics):
She can’t club Bambi now or else she’ll look desperate, but she couldn’t club Bambi last year when she was ahead or else she would have looked mean and … Hillary-ish. This is why I fear Obama so much more than her in the general: There’s never a good time to club Bambi.
The rest of the piece is interesting as well; it details how the arrogance of the Clintons over the years is returning to bite them in terms of press coverage. Of course, it was the press that helped them breed that much arrogance in the first place by fawning over them and protecting them from themselves. It’s a lesson that Barack better recognize for himself; today’s golden child becomes tomorrow’s target practice, as far as the MSM is concerned. And it can happen quite quickly, when the time comes.
