Aptly named, "Holeman"

or, "With supporters like these..."

From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli
CANTON, OH -- Robert Holeman came to Timken High School here today with a message to deliver to Bill Clinton. He did -- and he said the former president wasn’t happy about it.

Clinton spoke to a capacity crowd in this Northeast Ohio town, the third of five events today in the Buckeye State. He told voters that the contest was “the power of speeches against the promise of solutions by a world-class change maker.”

Throughout the event, as Clinton made his case for his wife, Holeman’s dissenting voice could be heard. At times he simply shouted Obama’s name. When Clinton would set up a sure applause line, Holeman could be heard heckling. As soon as Clinton finished speaking, the Canton native made a beeline to the ropeline to give Clinton a piece of his mind.
...
Holeman said he did support Bill Clinton during his campaigns, but that now the country wants a “new perspective.” “I think the president’s trying hoodwink us, bamboozle us, put us back in the okie doke,” he said. “He had eight years to do what he was supposed to do. All the things he said that she’s gonna do, he had the same authority that he wants her to have. Now if one Clinton, the male Clinton can’t get it done, how is Ms. Clinton [going to].”


So much for peace, love, and kumbaya'ing... Gotta love that last line especially, "Ms. Clinton". C'mon -- how old is this guy?

I wonder: do people really believe in Barack Obama's foreign policy dreams enough to put him in the White House, now that it appears a showdown with Putin's Russia is looming over Kosovo? Might not be the best time to run the newbie who apparently advocates pulling the U.S. into its shell, like a defensive turtle. Can I get an "Amen" on that one, Mr. Holeman?
