It wasn’t a debate — it was a polite little press conference in which Hillary proved to us all yet again just how shrill she can be, and Obama proved just how dangerous his “insubstantial” socialist rhetoric really is. Debating over whose healthcare plan is more mandatory? How did politics come to this?

The Chinese food analogy is a good one, but I’d like to add one thing to it. In addition to us eating the astoundingly insubstantial fare, Obama and Hillary weren’t so much debating as throwing the food at each other. Maybe that’s why they put so much on the table to begin with.
