Counterproductive for Obama to link himself to former Clinton supporters and workers???

Question

Anybody else think Obama is making a big mistake associating himself with former Clinton workers?
Honestly, why would you want former Clinton workers praising and endorsing you and then pointing this out?

1. The Clinton government is not considered all that great in retrospect. Just because the Clinton years are considered "somewhat better" than the current Bush government run at the White House does not make you worthy of a vote or even consideration.

2. You are basically saying "Hey, look at me, I'm Bill Clinton version 2.0 because I'm going to do the same things he did with people like this around me." You're also saying that you really are no different than your main rival Hilary Rodham Clinton. The only differences ,being superficial, between you two is that she is a caucasian female and yourself a male of white and black ancestry.

3. You're scaring or making independent voters apprehensive bringing in the allusions to Clinton and his big time players and supporters.

Answer 1

While I don't support any of the Democrats, I don't see this hurting Obama. Your argument is essentially 'preaching to the choir', people who aren't going to vote Democrat anyway. It would be lost on those Obama is trying to reach, Democrats and 'swing' voters who find Hillary polarizing and/or unlikable, and are looking for someone else. They aren't going to care that Hillary's former associates jumped ship, in fact, it may even validate their feelings against her. And as I said, the other side won't be voting for Obama anyway. I see his move as doing nothing but helping him.

Answer 2

I picture Hilary as a dominatrix, leather whip, chains and the pain. I hate having that image of her but she has not cried even ONCE. Every presidential candidate must cry at least ONCE. Bush broke that record, over done it for me. Obama is more reserved, but he'll probably drown everyone if he wins. I prefer Obama. His connections mean nothing to me. He had me at "not another Bush".
