Obama on Hillary: 'Disingenuous'

How would you describe her response on the question of her First Lady papers?
Her response was certainly inadequate. When she suggested somehow she didn't have control over whether or not these papers were being released—what we're talking about here is her husband's presidential library. And when she is making a suggestion that part of the experience that she brings to this office is her experience as First Lady, people have a right to ask some tough questions. She can release these papers.

So is she being honest?
I think she was being disingenuous.

What's the difference between disingenuous and dishonest?
You'll have to ask her.

Is she entitled to any credit for her years as First Lady as she argues her case to be president?
On those areas where there is a record of her having done work, she certainly deserves credit for it. What she can't do is have it both ways. She can't embrace every success of Bill Clinton's presidency and distance herself from every failure of Bill Clinton's presidency.

Hillary's being disingenuous?  Well thanks Captain Obvious, glad to see the last horse finally cross the finish line.

The problem with Obama is that he genuinely lacks any kind of substance as a candidate, and now that he's been trailing by a big margin for such a long time, he's noticing that he's not going to win with the current strategy.

His only hope is a hail Mary type of maneuver that everyone knows all about.  Calling into question Hillary's dishonesty as a politician is like saying Ted Bundy was a serial killer.  Everyone knows it and no one questions it.

You'd better kick your ass into high gear if you want the nomination Obama, you're getting further behind by the moment.

Besides, do we want a President who just NOW starts pointing out the flaws in his opponent?  I need someone with a quicker wit then that.
