Hillary Clinton was "in her element" during ABC's much debated debate.
But Barack Obama was down with that.
"That's her right to kind of twist the knife in a little bit. That’s the lesson that she learned when the Republicans were doing that same thing to her back in the 1990s. …So, I understand it."
He paused, brushing his shoulders off with his hands before doing the same to his knees and pant legs.
"You know, it's what you gotta do..." You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder

Hillary Clinton?
Nothing but Short Lint...
.
..stripped and sold out to the lobby industry.
Brush her off.
"Because in every election, politicians come to your cities and your towns, and they tell you what you want to hear, and they make big promises, and they lay out all these plans and policies. But then they go back to Washington when the campaign’s over, and nothing changes. Lobbyists spend millions of dollars to get their way. Folks would rather score political points than solve real problems. Instead of fighting for health care or jobs, Washington ends up fighting over the latest distraction of the week. It happens year after year after year.
But not this year. Not this time. This year we can’t afford the same old politics. This year we can declare our independence from this kind of politics."
