Hillary fans will keep that in mind when they contemplate Obama's motives at Indiana University where he and his campaign team tried to bribe students to go to a Dave Matthews concert on the same exact campus that Bill Clinton was doing a campaign speech.
It's funny how when Obama does some rather questionable or shady maneuver, extreme Obama fans on this thread would consider it a smart, tactical move. Yet when Clinton does it then it's politics as usual. The double standard is not only ridiculous, it's also hypocritical. This is what ALL politicians do. They try to take advantage of an opponent's gesture by any means necessary to try and position themselves better, It's part of the game, and not a single politician is above it. And as much as some people may not want to hear it,
that also includes Obama as well.
Now for my official political forum disclaimer:
This does not change my view about Obama under ANY circumstances. This also doesn't mean that I've picked Hillary over Obama. In November, either Obama or Clinton will have the Democratic Nomination and whichever one has it will get my vote. And no, that doesn't mean I'm blindly voting Democrat. I'm doing this because Obama & Clinton have similar views on the issues that matter to me, whereas McCain has opposite stances. Simple, and to the point. Not meant to be overanalyzed, targeted for some crazy Anti-Obama conspiracy theory, or hyperly scrutinized by those who would rather obsess about the non-issues instead.
It's actually kinda sad I have to do this... but I digress.
