The Democrats have never resembled two-year olds more than they do today:
Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are complaining about which candidate is the biggest complainer. The issue is their treatment in debates. Obama is objecting to the questions posed this week in one moderated by ABC News.
Many of the toughest questions were targeted at Obama, the front-runner for the nomination, and he’s said too much time was spent on political divisions instead of issues that matter to Americans.
Clinton said Friday that if Obama thinks the debate was tough, it pales in comparison to the pressures a president faces.
“I’m with Harry Truman on this — if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen,” she told voters while campaigning in Pennsylvania. “Just speaking for myself, I am very comfortable in the kitchen.”
But it wasn’t so long ago that Clinton was the front-runner and complaining about her treatment in debates. After a debate last fall, her campaign compiled clips of her being targeted, and called it the “Politics of Pile On.” In late February, Clinton complained that she always got asked the first question.
“Her blatant hypocrisy here is stunning,” responded Obama spokesman Bill Burton.
You’ve got to love this election if you are a Republican. We get to sit here and watch Democrat candidates complain and whine that they’re asked the tough questions, knowing that our candidate will be preferred by the supporters of the loser in the Democrat race. Thanks, Clinton for sticking it out and thanks, Obama for making Clinton show her stripes.
