Clinton and Obama clash in a personal way

MANCHESTER, N.H. -
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama clashed
this Sunday in the sentimental New Hampshire final stage, each taunting each other’s
claims to be the unfeigned campaigner of change. While Clinton told Democratic
voters that they should elect "a doer, not a talker", Obama predicted
that his critics are stuck in outdated politics.
During the vociferous mass meeting in the high school lyceum in Nashua, former
first lady Clinton pitter-pattered Obama for various votes he has placed when
in the Senate. While not outrightly mentioning Obama's name she adjudged his
votes in favour of energy legislation and of the Patriot Act as "Dick
Cheney's energy bill", highly insinuating Obama in the process.
Clinton went on further to allege, "You campaign in poetry, you govern in
prose."
While speaking at the thronged Manchester theatre Obama dissented with
Clinton's judgment of him throughout Saturday's Democratic presidential debate.
"One of my opponents said we can't just, you know, offer the American
people false hopes about what we can get done,"
"The real gamble in this election is to do the same things, with the same
folks, playing the same games over and over and over again and somehow expect a
different result," "That is a gamble we cannot afford, that is
a risk we cannot take. Not this time. Not now. It is time to turn the page,” he
said.

may_marvel, Good stuff. The only thing constant is change! What the presidential candidates are wrong about is they cannot DO anything alone. Our Constitution has made it very difficult to change laws. The president is not a king. We have 3 co-equal parts of our Government. The President can only ask Congress to concider passing laws. It takes al three forms of government here to get anything done.
The problem with Sen Clinton as opsed to Sen. Obama is that Sen Clinton is very polarizing. Sen. Obama is charming and people are crossing over from Republicans to vote for him. The same is happening with Gov. Huckabee, many Democrats are crossing over to the Republcan party to vote for him.
Our form of government, which is not democracy, as many say, It is a constitutional republic requiring each side to move toward one another rather then away. The problem isn't that we need a change in the executive branch. The problem is that our two parties will not work together.
Thanks for your article, I loved it.
