Ohio Debate

A few days ago, Hillary challenged Barack to “Meet me in Ohio to debate the issues.”  He ran circles around her and she tried for more humor based on an old TV show Saturday Night Live (that hasn’t been relevant in 10 years) one liner in attempt to point out why the media doesn’t treat her fairly.  “Why do I always get the first question?”…she asked the moderator.  Uh, as President, who are you going to defer to?  Shouldn’t you relish the opportunity to set the tone of the conversation?  It’s not like you won’t get a chance to refute anything the other person says.  It was just a very weak argument.

This comes a week after she challenged Barack to, yes, “Meet me in Texas, so we can debate the issues.”  She proceeded to want to debate about Barack using a line of a friend in one of his speeches.  How did she try to hit him on this, by using another irrelevant comparison to Barack’s message being change you can “Xerox.”  Xerox?  Really?  Hillary, you really need to catch up with the rest of us.  Next thing you know, she’s going to say that he’s too slow to be President, slow like a “rotary phone.”  Zinger!! 

Nothing new from Hillary, she’s been trotting out the “ready from day one” for so many months without it working; it’s not a surprise she’s got her tactics set on a loop. 

Many pundits thought she was at her worst on the Iraq issue or the Xerox line.  However, I think the reason people don’t like Hillary, is because they just don’t believe her.  When asked if she would release her tax returns, she said what she’s said many times before.  “I’ll release them when I become the nominee,” and when she realized that wasn’t going to fly, she says, “Or earlier.”  Well, that’s convenient for you.  You’ll give the voters information about how you’re bankrolling your campaign after you’ve already locked them into a potentially corrupt candidate. 

Sorry Hillary, nobody’s buying it this time and you have no one to blame but yourself.
