How Very 19th Century Of Obama

I'm not sure how this isn't treading on thin ice: Obama Says Clinton Would Be a Step Back

Democratic Sen. Barack Obama said Wednesday a Hillary Rodham Clinton presidency would be a step back to the past, turning her husband's image of a bridge to the future against her. The former first lady decried the tenor of his comments in an interview with The Associated Press.

"I know it is tempting -- after another presidency by a man named George Bush -- to simply turn back the clock, and to build a bridge back to the 20th century," the Illinois senator said in Denver.

"... It's not enough to say you'll be ready from Day One -- you have to be right from Day One," he added in unmistakable criticisms of Clinton, who often claims Other Top Headlines Photos she's better prepared to govern, and her husband, who pledged during his own presidency to build a bridge to the 21st century.

So, Sen. Clinton is simply an extension of her husband? Nice.

Funny...I thought we did away with these views when we passed the 19th amendment. I guess I was wrong.
