Bill Clinton has a point…
Obama has gotten a completely free pass so far. That won’t be the case in a protracted, eight month general election.
“It is wrong that Senator Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war in every year, enumerating the years, and never got asked one time–not once, ‘Well, how could you say that when you said in 2004 you didn’t know how you would have voted on the resolution? You said in 2004 there was no difference between you and George Bush on the war. And you took that speech you’re now running on off your Web site in 2004. And there’s no difference in your voting record and Hillary’s ever since.’” Mr. Clinton said at a town-hall style meeting Monday afternoon at Dartmouth College. “Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairytale I’ve ever seen.”

Americans want change in Washington, there’s no doubt about that.
But try as they will to convince voters that they’re the candidate for change, it seems obvious to me that candidates who are already firmly entrenched Washington insiders are NOT the ones who will make those changes.
It’s exactly that insider same old, same old “experience” so many of the candidates tout that most Americans want to get rid of.
WASHINGTON CANNOT FIX WASHINGTON!
Mitt Romney makes a telling comment:
“People who have been there all their careers don’t begin to have the freedom of movement and the capacity to change Washington. They’ve got lobbyists at every elbow, the deals have been worked out in the Senate cloakrooms are just so overwhelming – the scores that have to be settled, all of the favors that have to honored. You just can’t get the job done in Washington with people that have been in Washington all their lives. So people are saying you know what? We need change.â€
To me it seems perfectly clear that the most qualified outsider candidate, the one who is most likely to make real change in Washington, is Mitt Romney.
Romney’s MBA and Doctorate from Harvard, his proven record of success in making the right executive decisions time after time, and his lifetime devotion to the family values cherished by most Americans demonstrate clearly that he’s the man for the Whitehouse.
I think it’s time for Americans to unite behind that man - he’s head and shoulders above ALL the other candidates.
