Reply #16: They did the same thing to Bill Clinton. Tried to depict him as a hillbilly. Really. [View All]

The 'fake' routine has always worked. It worked with Gore. It worked with Kerry. It worked with Hillary Clinton, and they're trying to make it work with Obama.

People who are articulate are 'fakes'.

I also post on wingnut boards. Crazy assed veterans. They think Dems are fakes and GWBush is a 'real' guy, hence the campaign mantra 'He says what he means and means what he says'. GWB - to them - was genuine. Bill Clinton was a silver-tongued fake. Same for President Obama.

It won't work. The US likes its president just the way he is. And when they hear the justice nominee, they'll like her too.
