Great minds think alike

In Michael Goodwin's column in the New York Daily News, he used the phrase "Hillary Clinton came not to praise Barack Obama, only to support him." (Rico quoted Shakespeare yesterday.)
"She didn't pretend to like or admire Obama. She didn't pretend she believes he would be a great President. She didn't say he was right on the issues. She never said he'd be a good commander in chief or would keep America safe.
She made it clear she still reserves those views for herself. And that she'll be baaaacccck."
"This was a concession, not a surrender. She was accepting defeat, but defiantly refusing to be labeled a loser. Surrender is for wimps. Like a battle-hardened general leading an army, she said her supporters must "join forces" with Obama's, making it seem more a merger than a conquest. But there was also a not-so-veiled complaint about prejudice toward her, saying, "We weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time."
That sounded peevish, and wrong. She is truly a historic trailblazer, but she didn't lose because she's a woman. She lost because Obama got more delegates under rules she understood and approved.
She saved her genuine smiles and bravado for the long ode to her own efforts. By my rough count, more than two-thirds of the 30-minute speech was about herself and her achievements. "Me" and "I" and "we" were dearest to her heart.
No surprise there, but at least she didn't pretend otherwise.

Rico says he's quite sure, like any recurring nightmare, that Hillary will be back...
