Reply #40: I Wouldn't Accuse Obama As Jumping On, Either [View All]

At least no more than anyone else did.

However:

I have no doubt there would be at least a modicum of protest: 'Why couldn't she wait?' 'Let him have his chance.' 'Why does she have to ruin it?' 'Why is she butting in?'
Even down to: 'Has she no respect?'
And if a white woman, it's sad to say but I do think the race card would be played.


Some of those are already being said, IMO. Not the one about waiting so much, but the implication that she's wrecking his (and our) chance. We've all known Hillary was going to run. Even without the shoe on the other foot, Hillary Clinton and her supporters have been subjected to a constant barrage of attacks, many are gender-based in nature. It's a double standard, but whatcha gonna do? Roll over or fight back?
