In a press release dated December 2nd, Sen. Clinton snarkily lashes back against Sen. Obama's claim: "I have not been planning to run for President for however number of years some of the other candidates have been planning for."

The words used in the release:  "Oh really?"

What evidence does the Clinton camp cite:

1. "Immediately on enterring the Senate..." the Obama camp "turn[ed] up the talk about a potential Presidential bid."
2. His law school classmates say "he was thinking about politics"
3. His brother-in-law said he admitted to wanting to run for public office, quote "Possibly even run for President at some point."
4. In third grade, Obama wrote an essay, "I Want To Be A President"
5. In kindergarten, Obama wrote an essay, "I Want To Become President"

Seriously, folks- a KINDERGARTEN essay??  This is what gets the Clintonites all uppity and self-righteous?

How about the fact that he was writing essays in kindergarten- that's pretty damn impressive if you ask me!  I was still just learning my ABC's until 1st grade. 

In 3rd grade, I wrote an essay about how I wanted to be a priest.  It's quite a few steps from there and enterring the seminary.  Or did I miss the Obama '08 Exploratory Committee being formed way back in 1972?

If this is the Clinton's idea of a retort, putting her up against Republicans, who would (rightfully) mock this sort of tactic to shreds will only give us 4 more years of Republican hell.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...  but maybe Hillary will continue to self-destruct with tactics like this.  One can only hope.
