Obama in 2004 wanted to be like Senator Clinton
When Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, he said he wished to get things done rather than grab headlines, and cited Hillary Clinton as the sort of workhorse he wanted to be.

Obama's experience, limited in the Senate, is varied in the outside world

3. And he quotes Bill Clinton--positively:


.......The Illinois Democrat likes to quote something Bill Clinton once said: "The truth is, you can have the right kind of experience and the wrong kind of experience. Mine is rooted in the real lives of real people, and it will bring real results if we have the courage to change."

6. He is such a panderer

He says what people want to hear at the time, such a shapeshifter.
