18. Obama hasn't worked with members of Congress as long as Hillary.
Her association with them goes back many, many years. Obama is being groomed by a few powerful people. Do not underestimate the level of resentment by those who have put in far more years to see someone beat a screwball like Alan Keyes to get into the Senate, trying to claim the highest office in the land by dint of charm.

Hillary is an excellent role model for what women can attain. One little anecdote: when she was 12, she wrote NASA asking what she needed to do to become an astronaut. They wrote back and told her that women cannot be astronauts. Think about how much has changed since then.

This is a woman who perseveres against all odds. She hasn't gotten where she is because of a great speaking style and charming manner. All that glitters is not gold. And don't say it's Bill that's gotten her where she is. She is the one who got Bill where he is, by doing all the hard lifting while he charmed people with his speaking style and personality.

I'm off to work. Try to see Hillary through your own eyes and don't let the right wing dictate your thinking. If you do, the terrorists have won. ;)
