Hillary vs. Obama
A Reflection on Past Politics and the 2008 Election
As the Tennessee Mountain Man grows older, he often reflects on the history he has witnessed and its impact on the present. During the 2008 political season, memories?"both good and bad?"resurface.
Recently, a conversation with a politically connected lawyer friend turned to politics and the ongoing election. Both men, now leaning more to the right, recalled their early years in Democratic households and how 60 years of life have given them a unique perspective.
Hillary Clinton's campaign brings back memories of controversies such as the Rose Law Firm, Kathleen Willey, the missing files, "that woman, Miss Lewinsky," perjury, Gennifer Flowers, and more. Her political history stirs recollections of a turbulent past.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama evokes a different set of memories, reminiscent of a time when John F. Kennedy inspired a nation with hope and vision. Obama, like JFK, captures the imagination of many Americans.
Hillary Clinton's image of standing by her man recalls not only Tammy Wynette but also brings to mind Alabama's George and Lurleen Wallace, whose leadership in the 1960s and 1970s is a period many wish to forget.
In contrast, Obama is often associated with the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., and the Kennedy brothers. His campaign echoes the spirit of freedom marches and calls for change.
The Clintons' style of hardball politics is reminiscent of J. Edgar Hoover's manipulation and surveillance for personal gain. It parallels the ruthless tactics of figures like Bull Connor, whereas Obama's campaign aligns more with ideals of progress and integrity.
Accusations have emerged about the Clinton Machine's attempts to influence African American votes through community leaders, drawing parallels to past political strategies in the South. Despite claims of being the "first black president," Bill Clinton's tactics stand in stark contrast to Obama's potential to genuinely break barriers.
Obama has run a clean campaign, while the Clinton Machine has employed racial tactics and smeared Obama’s past, insinuating drug use. Such strategies contradict the principle of integrity in politics.
The Clintons have faced criticism for various controversies, including manipulating delegate counts during the primaries and changing political stances mid-game. Their tactics often alienate those around them.
Ultimately, the 2008 contest between Hillary and Obama is a choice between looking backwards and moving forwards?"a decision between past controversies and future possibilities.
