Not to be small-minded, but while Obama’s rhetorical style is patronizing Sunday school teacher, Clinton’s has a raucous shouting character. One wonders why her handlers don’t coach her to speak with authority without sounding like a belligerent shop foreman.
It only comes to mind because it will be hell to listen to four years of this.
That Chelsea Clinton worships her corrupt mother does not qualify Hillary for president of the US. But the corruption does.
Judging from the DNC carnival of deceits, Clinton’s resume is all about improving the lives of children. The assembled political hacks swooned & clapped like trained seals at every lie on this score.
Regrettably for the children of the world, Clinton–representing the policies of Bill Clinton & Obama–has been a disaster. What about the kids of Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Libya, Haiti, Rohingya kids in Myanmar, the thousands of Mexican & Central American kids coming across the US border, Black & Latino kids in the US jailed for minor offenses, & undocumented children excluded from food stamps because of the destruction of welfare?
The ACLU announced yesterday that Chelsea Manning may face three charges for “administrative offenses” related to her July 5th suicide attempt.
If convicted, she faces possible solitary confinement for the duration of her sentence, reassignment as a maximum-security prisoner, an addition of 9 years to her 35 year sentence, & could eliminate the possibility of parole.
Consider the barbarism of putting someone despondent enough to attempt suicide in solitary confinement or of considering suicide as a crime against the state.

Kashmir Life reports the Foreign Office of Pakistan will be contacting Facebook to protest censorship about Kashmir. That is a direct result of our petition & protests in social media which led to articles written by Pakistani, Kashmiri, & Indian journalists.
This is something to be very proud of. But of course, our work has just begun.
Robert Reich, the unreconstructed Clintonite, is back to his rancid role as shill for the Democratic party–trying to take up where Sanders left off. Capitalist politics, & not just in the US, is filled with such asses.
DNC is putting on quite an impressive spectacle to prove it’s the party of the oppressed. How do they explain their entire history of preempting social movements? Or all those racist wars & occupations initiated on Obama’s watch?
Anybody else not interested in the friendship of Chelsea & Ivanka? File under “The banality of US electoral politics.”
