Hillary 2008 to Obama: "Celestial choirs will be singing...."

From Robert Reich on facebook:

Quotes of the day:
"The skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect.”
-- Hillary Clinton in 2008, mocking Democratic primary candidate Barack Obama’s campaign platform.

"I wish that we could elect a Democratic president who could wave a magic wand and say, ‘We shall do this, and we shall do that,' but that ain’t the real world we’re living in.”
-- Hillary Clinton in 2016, commenting on Democratic primary candidate Bernie Sanders’s campaign platform.

..........It's just a rewrite, isn't it?

Obama covered his message in flowery rhetoric, so a lot of liberals didn't know what they were voting for.

Sanders wears his heart on his sleeve, and he didn't waffle.
