Hillary Clinton gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention last night that gave mild praise to Obama and lavish praise for herself.

Many thought she was less than enthusiastic for Obama, and if you look at some of her past words, as chronicled by the AP, it’s not much of a surprise:

Dec. 3, 2007: “So you decide which makes more sense: Entrust our country to someone who is ready on Day One … or to put America in the hands of someone with little national or international experience, who started running for president the day he arrived in the U.S. Senate.”

March 2008. “I know Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And Sen. Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.”

Feb. 23, 2008: “Now, I could stand up here and say, ‘Let’s just get everybody together. Let’s get unified.’ The skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect.”

The truth hurts, and the embittered Barack Obama could apparently not get past the comments when searching for a running mate.
