Your attempts to drag Hillary though the public square one more time are embarrassing. Obama wasn't a "community organizer," he worked on getting out the vote (for Bill Clinton among others). As friend to Slumlord Rezko (check out The Boston Globe's second part of the series today), he betrayed his constituents. Instead of focusing on that, our 'left' brought up non-issues. Hillary on the board of Wal-Mart before Bill Clinton ran for the presidency? A non-issue. Back then Wal-Mart was not as well known and their practices certainly were not well known. It was a board position and Hillary was the first woman. It's not an asset but it's not the dopey Robert Greenwald 'films' we know today. It's not like she got a huge bump in pay because her husband won an election. That would be Michelle Obama whose pay skyrocketed for the same job following Barack Obama's election to the US Senate. But the 'left' wasn't in a tizzy over that anymore than they gave a damn about Barack's close relationship with slumlord Rezko. Find another straw woman, Hillary is out of the race and pretending that you did real work in trashing her while letting Barack slide day after day, month after month is as embarrassing as one of Katrina vanden Heuvel's "Sweet Victories" 'columns.'

It is a Photoshopped image of McCain and Obama sitting on the beach together like old friends engaged that lame-assed fist bumping (Irony break: These types love to adopt such ghetto mannerisms when convenient. See also Obama's patronizing black preacher/street cadence). I wrote New York Magazine to comment that the photo speaks volumes about the state of this nation. Two clubby cliques, er, political parties each aiding and abetting the others' greed-based and imperialist policies for the enrichment of the few at the expense of the rest of us schmucks. I am certain my comment won't get published; New York Magazine is straight up Obama's butt - they threw their former "it" candidate Hillary overboard when such became fashionable.
