This is why Hillary cannot fight on issues, and rests her hopes on personal destruction. She has, like Obama... been an utter failure, they know it, and lament they can't control the dumb sheep like they once used to.
An utter failure how? GDP growth during Obama was slightly better than it was during Bush. It's not like Hillary or Obama turned a blind eye to the dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for subprime loans beginning in 2004 and extending into 2007. It's not like Hillary or Obama passed tax cuts in 2001 that erased a surplus and produced 3 record deficits in the next 8 years that would double the debt (Hillary voted against those tax cuts, BTW). It's not like Hillary and Obama participated in a propaganda-driven campaign to invade and occupy Iraq based on the premise of WMDs that weren't there. It's not like Hillary and Obama passed the largest unfunded entitlement expansion ever (which she also voted against). It's not like Hillary or Obama got complete control of the legislature and pushed through nothing but ideological red meat like they did in Kansas, which resulted in nothing but misery.
That's not to say Hillary and Obama don't have their failures. I think the biggest failure of Obama was not to prosecute the Wall Street banksters for fraud, or hauling Cheney and the Bush cabal in front of a judge for War Crimes.
