On Jan.15th a truce was called between the Clinton and Obama camps.
Yesterday in Nevada, perhaps in an attempt to develop a fallback career, Obama tried out his standup routine in Las Vegas. The AP reports that when speaking about the debate questions, he said "Folks, they don't tell you what they mean!” This from a candidate who has managed to avoid actually saying anything of any real substance thus far in his campaign.
Obama is reported to have continued on the subject of Hillary's vote in favor of the bankruptcy bill in 2001, he quipped that she said, 'I voted for it but I was glad to see that it didn't pass.'(This is classic John Kerry), adding, "If you didn't want to see it passed, then you can vote against it!" This is quite a spectacular departure from statements on his website meant to explain his penchant for voting "Present".
This is explained, of course, as being deeply nuanced, incomprehensible to the uninitiated but somehow capable of conveying silent messages, sometimes contradictory, but always understandable by his fellows democrats in Illinois.
Obama then took on a recent Clinton accusation, tying him to supporters of the Yucca nuclear waste project. Obama denied these allegations vehemently, adding this pearl of a quote, "I'm against Yucca Mountain. I think the science is not there." Holy Global Warming! A democrat who doesn’t think that the debate is over?
One is forced to conclude that the truce is over! On the other hand, perhaps the Clintons well known sense of humor will give Hillary a good cackle. For those of you keeping score at home, this truce was shorter that an Israeli - Palestinian cease fire.
