Bob and Weave

During the primaries, I characterized Barack Obama as an "artful dodger". He was evasive and Hillary only managed to put a glove on him after he had essentially secured the nomination. Obama continues with twisted talk, while Hillary, now the nation's top diplomat, proves to be anything but diplomatic. Her ire was raised by a more or less innocent question from a hapless African asking her about the President's opinion with the only question being whether the questioner was inquiring what Obama or Bill Clinton's position was on something. Hillary was the untamed shrew many perceived her to be, a wounded woman roaring about sex subjugation when she should have simply answered, "Next time you see the President why don't you ask him". She then went on to impugn the previous President and the electoral process by maligning the Florida election 2000 outcome on foreign soil, in fact, in another corrupt African hellhole on the "Hide Hillary" dark continent tour Obama had her obscured on, while her husband grabbed the glory in North Korea. To compare the kleptocracy that ravages Africa to the most transparent Republic there has ever been is beyond unseemly, it is an unworthy insult to the country Hillary represents. Maybe America is lucky she did not secure the nomination. Many politicians are undiplomatic and unctuous, but the smooth seducer, pretending outreach convincingly, is the one to worry about. Too few statesmen seek office, who make no feather promises, but stick to principles-Reagan was the last I remember, but our new Messiah has many Utopian feathers in the ether and I don't see him being honest about his positions or objectives to the American people or even fairly trying to state his case.
