It’s about time people started to see MSNBC for what it is–a cheerleading squad for Obama. For weeks leading up to Super Tuesday, they provided daily, ongoing Hillary-bashing on all their talk shows, especially Morning Joe, Hard Ball, and Countdown. And CNN isn’t far behind!

I think the Clinton campaign’s charge against Obama for plagiarism is absurd. We are more interested in hearing why she should be a better President, rather than why she is better at finding how she can attack him. I have always admired the Clintons, but I’m getting tired of the dirty tricks to win this election at all costs. If she has to scratch and claw this hard just to keep up, it should tell us all something. Stop whining, and stick to your platform. Find a way to sell that effectively, and stop witht he attack ads! Thanks, but no thanks to the negativity.

Between 1995 and 2000, Hillary Rodham Clinton published a column for Creators Syndicate called “Talking It Over.” In her Dec. 30, 1995, column (which interestingly enough is not linked anywhere on her introductory page but is available at this URL: http://www.creators.com/… Hillary laundry listed her New Years’ resolutions for 1996.

“Like most people, I’ve made my share of New Year’s resolutions. How many times in the past have I promised to do a better job of staying in touch with old friends, finishing my Christmas shopping before Dec. 24 and laying off the chips and cookies? More times than I care to remember. But that isn’t stopping me from making faithful pledges again this year. Herewith, my resolutions for 1996 …

“I will try to learn the difference between a hard drive and a floppy disk. “Having written a 320-page book in longhand over the last six months, I’m ready to join the ranks of the computer-competent.”

The book to which she refers is her 1996 best-seller, “It Takes A Village To Raise A Child” with her authorship reinforced on her Senate web page ( http://clinton.senate.gov/about/biography/index.cfm ).

In December 2007, “Intellectual Conservative” web site wrote: “Since the book was first published in 1996, though, Hillary has repeatedly insisted she wrote the book herself … Clinton has steadfastly refused to credit the actual writer, Barbara Feinman Todd. And this refusal to admit that small truth is odd since even the New York Times contradicts her claims. On April 22nd, 1995, as the book was in the planning stages, the Times reported that it was Feinman who was to do the heavy lifting for the project. In their ‘95 piece the Times stated, ‘The book will actually be written by Barbara Feinman, a journalism professor at Georgetown University in Washington. Ms. Feinman will conduct a series of interviews with Mrs. Clinton, who will help edit the resulting text.’ ( http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2007/12/17/it-takes-a-village-to-write-a-book/ ).
