One year ago today, Barack Obama clinched the Democratic nomination for president, ending his epic five-month contest with Hillary Clinton. (That article is dated June 4, but the news happened the previous day.)
How long was that race? Think back to January 3 of this year, before Obama was even inaugurated. That was five months ago. That’s the same length of time that elapsed between last year’s Iowa caucuses and the final two primaries in South Dakota and Montana.
Who knew that today, Hillary Clinton would be President Obama’s secretary of state?
I’m sure that — somewhere — fans of either Nostradamus or Ayn Rand are claiming that their idols did.
I wish Obama had picked someone less warmongering than Hillary Clinton.
