Bill Clinton Advises Patience in Reno, Nevada
Former president Bill Clinton stumped for the Obama Campaign today at TMCC in Reno and in Elko. Clinton was great as usual, but I couldn’t help but think about Clinton’s over all message. First, he illustrated what this election is about (the failing economy, US profile in the world, and health care) and made a great case for Barack Obama as the candidate who could best lead us in the right direction. But more than that, he stressed how important it was no to be mad because we have to talk to each other: “We’ve got to all do better to do better” (or something close to that). Imagine leaving an event full of hope, and yes, some constructive criticism, and then reading about this garbage from the people we aren’t supposed to get mad at ( via ). From a North Carolina McCain rally:
He [Patrick McHenry R-NC] yielded the microphone to Representative Robin Hayes, who prefaced his comments by saying it was important to “make sure we don’t say something stupid, make sure we don’t say something we don’t mean.” Republicans, he reminded the crowd, were kind people. Plus, he added, the liberal media had shown itself eager to distort such remarks. With the crowd duly chastened and put on best behavior, he accused Obama of “inciting class warfare” and said that “liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.”
So you have Bill Clinton telling Democrats not to get mad and reminding us that Republicans are our neighbors, and then you have these North Carolina Republican Congressmen telling their rally goers that people like me and Bill Clinton hate “real Americans” like them because, apparently we’re not “real Americans.”
Which sounds more charitable, loving, and child of God-like to you?
I am uploading the videos I took at the rally but it’s taking FOREVER. I’ll post them later or check back on my .
