Cheers for Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton has come to the defense of Barack Obama over recent attacks by George W. Bush and friends:

“President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is offensive and outrageous on the face of it, especially in light of his failures in foreign policy,” Clinton said. “This is the kind of statement that has no place in any presidential address.”

If this signifies a new (non-destructive) direction for the Democratic race—and if she can turn all of her attacks toward Bush and McCain—well then I might be changing my position on it and possibly on the idea of an Obama-Clinton ticket.
