Yes politicians borrow lines all the time. So why didnt anyone even point out that it demonstrates normal everyday politics, which he is supposedly running against? Nobody on any tv show full of pundits for and against him even caught that little tidbit. He's more teflon than ole Bill ever was, lol.

I really hope the debate tomorrow and next week sheds some light on what he plans to do. Politics as usual so far isn't demonstrative of change.. we need more information from him and I hope we get it.
Last week Chris asked the governor of Wisconsin the very same question and he also had nothing to say and was dumbfounded. That tells you everything you need to know about how the media has treated/favored Obama and treated him with white gloves. If he and his campaign were getting grilled on his records and experiences or lack thereof, then there is no way any of his surrogates would be caught with their pants down like they have been by Chris Matthews on two occasions since Friday.

As for his claim to be about change, this newsweek article says a lot about his actual lack of anything to do with change.

If Hillary is smart she at least stays till the convention as that is a lot of time for the Republicans to dig at him and possibly exposes weaknesses and it also will allow the media time to decide if they want to do their jobs and be partisan or keep sucking his cock and glossing over all his shortcomings and highlighting his strengths.
