SocraticGadfly: Obama pander to Hillaryites flops

Obama pander to Hillaryites flops

Like the proverbial blind pig and acorn, MoJo Dowd halfway makes sense in talking about the Obama-Clinton Unity-fest. Here’s the clueless line from Obama:
As Obama tried to ingratiate himself with the Hillary partisans in the crowd by saying that because of the New York senator, his daughters “can take for granted that women can do anything that the boys can do and do it better and do it in heels,” Carmella put her fingers in her ears.

As Obama tried to curry favor with Hillary, looking over at her sensible, sturdy shoes and marveling, “I still don’t know how she does it in heels,” Carmella (Lewis) tore up a tissue and stuffed it in her ears.

The line may have been funny 50 years ago, to society at that time, when uttered by a third-party in comparing Ginger Rogers to Fred Astaire.

In the first-to-second person, by Obama, at least as written out, it sounds like a lead balloon.

Of course, we have one humonguous hypocrisy alert by Dowd, for actually trying to appear to care about a woman’s issue.
