Now and then

From 2008 (via AP):

SCRIPT: Clinton: "I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message."

Announcer: "Barack Obama said that people in small towns 'cling to guns or religion ... as a way to explain their frustrations ...'

Woman 1: "I was very insulted by Barack Obama."

Man 1: "It just shows how out of touch Barack Obama is."

Woman 2: "I'm not clinging to my faith out of frustration and bitterness. I find that my faith is very uplifting."

And so on — you get the idea.

From 1995, courtesy of Benjamin Barber's book, who wrote of witnessing the following comment when asked her opinion of whether the Clinton White House should reach out to southern whites.

"Screw 'em," she told her husband. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."

This, combined with the public vs. private positions on the Columbian trade deal, leaves one wondering if you can take anything the Clintons say seriously.
