The point is how can Sen. Obama villify the “status quo” and “Washington Insiders” at the same time he glories in Sen. Kennedy’s endorsement. I value Sen. Kennedy’s service to the country as most democrats do, but with all due respect, he is the posterchild for status quo. That’s the point most Clinton supports make against Obama. He promotes change, will dissing established Democratic figures, like Sen. Clinton who have worked under great pressure to advance liberal ideas for decades. Sen. Obama has exercised some of the most divisive politics I’ve seen, the kind that was used against Al Gore and John Kerry. Some how Sen. Obama has turned experience into a bad thing, a la G.W. Bush! If Obama becomes the candidate it will be because voters fall for the same con every time, “I’m the outsider who is gonna change Washington”. There’s nothing new or inspiring about this kind of drivel.
