Old School, New School

Hillary: Old School. Here's her strategy:

Clinton, the one-time front-runner for her party's nomination who now finds herself in political peril, intensified her attack as she was forced to scramble for sweeping victories in Ohio and Texas on March 4 and in Pennsylvania on April 22.
Said the former First Lady,
That's the difference between me and my opponent. My opponent makes speeches. I offer solutions. It is one thing to get people excited. I want to empower you.
And let's not leave out this statement:
Clinton portrayed herself as a fighter and Obama as someone who makes a lot of speeches that sound good but do not offer solutions.
Except that he has addressed issues, laid out plans, and exudes more honesty than any politician in recent memory. Hillary, on the other hand, is just the same old school, old boys' (and now girls') club politics who wants to run things the same way they've been run for far too long. Hillary is just more of the same who doesn't really want to change anything and who voted FOR the war.

Obama: New School. Here's his strategy. We need change in this country. We need to lower the cost of living. We need to provide affordable or universal healthcare for ALL Americans. We need to bring our troops home. He voted AGAINST the war. He wants to bring jobs BACK to this country, jobs that have disappeared because Hillary's husband signed NAFTA into law. He talks about unifying this country, regardless of political affiliation. This is new school. This is fresh. This is politics untainted by the dirt of Washington, lobbies and lobbyists, and money. This is how what this nation needs. You know the old cliche: Out with the old, in with the new. Let's welcome the new with open arms and allow this country to heal itself and the rift created by the old-time politics we've had to endure until now.
