One thing we have to keep in mind is that thepress has had a long time to develop a storyline--a negative one I might add--about the Clintons. Reporting therefore tends to be skewed to fit thatstoryline.
my very deep-seated skepticism about anything the U.S. pressreports leads me to wonder if all the hullabaloo about the Clintons' use of"the race card" is not a diversion.
As I said, I like [Obama]. His appeal to our better angels is quitelaudatory, refreshing and inspirational. The realist in me, however, tellsme that the powers-that-be who were instrumental in creating the climatethat made life hell for the Clintons have not gone away. The supposedpolitical calculation for which Hillary is criticized is what one does tosurvive in this climate.
