In her new attack mode Team Hillary has decided to make hay of the apparent fact that Obama told his kindergarten teacher he wanted to be President someday. Now, if she could substantiate a rumor that he told his kindergarten teacher he hoped one day to be the Caliph... But we're not there yet.
So, shorter Hillary: What kind of a world are we living in where young black children can dare to dream of becoming President?
The Anchoress is right - this is oppo research run amuck and reads like something out of a script for "Bloggers Gone Wild".
WATCHING THE PILE-ON: If someone could send me to a post applauding the latest Hillary tactic I would love to see it. Meanwhile, as we sharpen our skates and wait for Hades to freeze, here is David Weigel at Reason:
Vote Hillary: She Thinks You're An Idiot
Everyone was wondering how Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign would act if it started falling behind in the polls, and yesterday we got an answer: It would act completely ridiculous.
Gee, and she was so calm, resolved, resilient, resourceful, and, well, let's say it - Jack Bauer-ish (only more in touch with her feminine side) - when she singlehandedly saved all of New Hampshire from terrorists just last Friday. How soon they panic.
Oh, yeah - my "Vote For The Wicked Witch!" is down a few posts; my thoughts on Robert Reich's blast are here.
It must be the prgressive gene, yeah thats it its the DNA. Progs dont know how to have a good fight, so they drudge up stuff from third grade and it buttress that they add kindegarten too! If they want America to think of them as tough on ( fill in the day's blank) maybe they could start acting like more than a bunch of morons.

As Bill Jempty on Wizbang Politics says, how many kindergartners say they want to grow up to be sarcastic bloggers?

I've always believed that too much money and too many staffers is well, too much, and leads to ridiculous excess. No one's proved me wrong yet.
She's used to being insulated from criticism. From having to do more than mouth platitudes, And has gotten away over the years with the most preporterous lies--like the cattle futures deal, the missing billing records, the make believe VRWC--She should fasten her seatbelt, it's going to be a rocky ride to next November.

How many of us were writing essays in kindegarten? Finger painting, check. Graham crackers and milk snacks, check and check. Rug naps check again. 500 hundred word essays on what I want to be when I grow up? Sorry the big fat pencils and larged lined paper plus marginal ability to write at this point made this a damn near improbability for 99% of us, including a bunch of future Mensa members.

To write an essay when he was five would make him the most precocious kindergartener of all time.

GMax - too funny and very true.
Hey - did your daughter win? I know she won the on-line vote, but did she win overall?

Let's see:
Hussein Il Jong has a tiny lead in Iowa but the Red Witch is up a bit in New Hampshire and quite a bit in Michigan, Nevada, Florida with the race closer in South Carolina.
My sense is that this is a stutter step to set up the Comeback Krud story after Iowa. The Red Witch will have to fire a few of the inner circle jerks before I'll buy "Stuck On Stupid" as the campaign motto.

The Lowe's folks are keeping it close to the vest. Anoouncement sometime this weekend. Once I know, you all will know.
Posted by: GMax | December 03, 2007 at 07:20 PM
It's hard to tell what is more ridiculous--Hillary's charges about Obama's kindergarten essay and "character" or the very thought of taking any NIE seriously. To me it looks like Hit has infiltrated everything and is cranking it out.

Gmax:
Can't wait to hear the news. It was a lot of fun to support her!
Hil is now officially in free-fall. just remember ;the bigger they are {or think they are} the harder they fall. Hil's single mistake- telling Couric that"It will be me" It sounded both presumptuous and desperate.

TM that is one of the most delightful posts I've ever read. I don't know why, but it put this big fat grin on my face. The really funny part is how true it is.

I miss voting for JMax! Looking forward to the announcement.

ok. there's more from the inside. tho i probably won't get as much play from this as kindergarten did...
Clinton Campaign Launches 'Buddy' Program
ah dang it! it got intercepted. someone caught it and rewrote it. it was supposed go out as a program to discreetly get rid of unwanted pets. they may be on to me. going dark.
Posted by: hit and run | December 03, 2007 at 08:48 PM
And at Tradesports she's down to 67.5...
Posted by: Other Tom | December 03, 2007 at 08:55 PM
Heh. Surely they could have come up with something better than "buddy," with its attendant associations? It doesn't pay to be a buddy of the Clintons - or rather, it can pay quite well, depending on how useful you are, but you run the risk of getting run over at any minute.
Posted by: Porchlight | December 03, 2007 at 08:56 PM
H & R,
Could you pass along a suggestion that they adopt On the Road Again as the theme song for the Buddy Campaign?
Posted by: Rick Ballard | December 03, 2007 at 09:06 PM
That gal can really multitask! The kindergarten business, the buddy program and a call for a moratorium on mortgage forclosures all in one day. (I've not seen so much good work since a friend ran for high school class president telling everyone their acne had much improved.)

Is it just me or does anyone else perceive Hillary Clinton delivering sermons decrying the evil of naked ambition as a bit...surreal?

It's definitely just YOU, darling..HEH

I've now seen a report that John Edwards said when he was four that he wanted to be a "cowboy" and "Superman".
So, there it is. Proof positive that Edwards wants to be a "cowboy".
When was the last "cowboy" President ?
Reagan (pronounced "Ray Gun").
Now a "cowboy" President with visions of being "Superman". Damn .. even Reagan didn't go that far; a Bonzo maybe, but no Superman.

She'd just gotten her preordered copy of Halo III delivered to her the day before it was to be officially released.
