Now This is a Surprise

Really, who would have thought it?

Barack Obama has accused Hillary Clinton of using "shameful" smear tactics after a picture of him wearing tribal robes and headgear in a Muslim region of Kenya was circulated on the internet.

Mrs Clinton’s campaign team declined to deny that it had sent the photo to Drudge, whose report said the campaign was responsible for circulating the email.

Women are, of course, so much more collegiate, less personally competitive, than men, don’t you find? There would be so much less posturing, back stabbing and general unpleasantness if only women ruled the world, don’t you think?

    I suggest you give us a chance to rule the world and let’s see what happens….

    Its not up to Tim to let women rule the world. Its not even up to men. As far as I know, in the West at least, women have one vote a piece, same as men. If enough people want to vote someone in they will get in. Shame on anyone though who votes on the basis of gender or skin colour instead of merit (or even self interest).

    It’s better than that.

    At least from a UK perspective, all this labelling of Obama’s campaign by Hillary seems less of a thrown dart and more of a boomerang.
