They both think Obama is the man. Hammering another nail into Hillary’s coffin, Berkeley professor Robert Reich posted an announcement formally endorsing Obama on his blog yesterday night.
Forty years of friendship and a stint as the Clintons’ secretary of labor isn’t something to sneeze at, and at first Reich was dead set against leaping into the endorsements fracas with a proclamation for either/or. But then Hillary went and made those terrible, horrible, no good, very bad videos targetting Obama after he slipped and said that Pennsylvanians are bitter and cling to guns last week. Reich took Hillary’s tactics to be
the nadir of mean-spirited, negative politics. And also of the politics of distraction, of gotcha politics. It’s the worst of all worlds. … It’s old politics at its worst — and old Republican politics, not even old Democratic politics. It’s just so deeply cynical.
In actuality, Reich jumped ship a long time ago. In December, Reich questioned why HRC was being a ball-busting bitch and doing ball-busting bitch things like attacking Obama’s plan for keeping Social Security upright and wobbling right along. Two days before the South Carolina primary, he posted about Bill Clinton’s “ill-tempered and ill-founded attacks on Barack Obama”, which suck and are also patently untrue.
You can watch Reich pom-pom for Obama over at his site, imaginatively entitled Robert Reich’s Blog.
