Don't get me wrong, I certainly like both Sens. Clinton and Obama and I think both would make outstanding presidents for this country. I just think that one should perhaps precede the other, in large part, due to their experience.

The back and forth between the Clinton and Obama camps since New Hampshire shouldn't be taken as something odd, extraordinary, or spectacular. I mean, we are in a primary campaign for the presidential nomination, are we not? Candidates and their surrogates are going to "go after" one another. One can't suggest that the campaigns were going to quietly hold hands and let the voters decide without persuasion from one or the other, right?

And yet, we have an Obama camp that is crying foul over recent statements made by President Clinton. This is the same President Clinton who's wife is now running (against Obama) for the presidency. Furthermore, we have members of Congress, one Jim Clyburn, suggesting that President Clinton needs to "chill on Obama."

Am I missing something? If these cries by the Obama camp are truly heart felt then my reasons for basing my vote on experience have just been validated without question. Anything the Clinton camp dishes out under the watchful auspices of the DNC will surly be candy-coated marshmallows compared to what the republicans will ram down the throat of the American public when it comes to the general election. If Obama can't fend off President Clinton's poking then it's not yet time for him to join the scorched battleground that we fondly refer to as a presidential election cycle.
