Hillary: "I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I'm not as expert on,"

[Catherine Vincent]

Admit it, Obamabots, if Hillary had said the above quote, you would have criticized her til the sun came up. I don't have a problem with BHO saying it because I really don't care. I just wanted to point this out.

1. Context please......N/T

[tekisui]

2. Yeah, probably.

This Primary has entered a pick-apart everything phase. We no longer discuss issues or policy. It is all mirco-dissection. It has gone on longer than is useful to our candidates, and we are left discussing trivial nonsense. The history of bookbags in the 60's, bowling and stuff. Silly season.

[CoffeeCat]

5. It feels like the Silly Era...

..this nonsense has dragged on for so long.

Obama really needs to win PA and NC.

6. dup

3. We already know who her VP choice would be. nt

[hedgehog]

4. Correction - we already know who would have the #2 spot in her

administration, and he is barred by the Constitution from becoming VP.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. You don't know jackshit. nt

9. I know it's the definite end of the "unity" ticket.

:rofl:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

8. Sounds like a direct quote.

:freak:

10. It's Worse! Much Worse!

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama's presidential bid may have a well-cultivated insurgent feel, as the candidate both benefits and suffers politically from a relatively thin record of experience in Washington.

But the swelling team of policy advisers who have joined his campaign shows a politician grounded in his party's intellectual mainstream and well-connected within the capital's Democratic establishment.

As Obama rapidly transitioned from a senator with less than three years in office to a presidential candidate who has delivered detailed policy speeches, he has assembled a personal think tank that easily outsizes any of the established Washington policy institutes that provide intellectual fodder for the political war of ideas.

On foreign policy alone, some 200 experts are providing the Obama campaign with assistance of some sort, arranged into 20 subgroups. On the domestic front, more than 500 policy experts are contributing ideas, campaign aides said. Veterans of previous election campaigns say the scale of the policy operation resembles the full-blown effort candidates typically undertake for a general election campaign rather than the more stripped-down versions common for the primary season.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Obama built relationships with high-powered policy experts even before he was elected to the Senate.
Goolsbee first met Obama, then a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, in the faculty social world. University of Chicago law professor Cass Sunstein and Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe, two of the nation's leading liberal legal scholars, have relationships with Obama respectively dating back to the University of Chicago faculty lounges and Obama's days at Harvard Law School. Lake began giving Obama informal foreign policy advice even before Obama won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.

Once elected to the U.S. Senate, Obama set up an ambitious policy operation for a newcomer. Froman, a former fellow editor of the Harvard Law Review, helped make connections in Washington's policy establishment. So did Cassandra Butts, another law school classmate and former senior policy adviser to then-House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt. She continues to assist with Obama's policy operation.

13. I truly love Barck Obama......

that is one smart but regular fellow, and stuff! :)

[AtomicKitten]

11. This may shock you but I like Obama's openness and humility.

People will make fun of lint if it suits their purpose. I couldn't care less about the superficial distractions of this campaign and Obama is becoming quite proficient in batting them aside like they are lint.

A couple knuckleheads on DU cavorting in this virtual nonstory doesn't mean it's anywhere in the ballpark of mainstream.

Let it dangle.

[Window]

12. Not at all. The key is, "...I'm not AS expert on."

[Cali_Democrat]

14. At least Obama admits he's not an expert on some things instead of fabricating BS.

Hillary acts like a know-it-all. We don't need another pompous and arrogant president who thinks they know everything.

16. I'd have no problem at all with it

I'm more concerned as to why you didn't bother to give us a context, link anything so we could see the details surrounding the comment.
