Markos points out the hypocrisy of the Hillary campaign in

Great presidents according to Hillary

So what did Hillary Clinton tell the Salmon Press editorial board? Apparently, nothing different than what Obama said.

But no president can do it alone. She must break recent tradition, cast cronyism aside and fill her cabinet with the best people, not only the best Democrats, but the best Republicans as well.. We’re confident she will do that. Her list of favorite presidents – Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan – demonstrates how she thinks. As expected, Bill Clinton was also included on the aforementioned list.

The hypocrisy of the Hillary campaign is almost overwhelming, trying to score cheap political points from the exact same things she’s been obviously telling editorial boards herself.

Worse, actually. Obama didn’t say that Reagan was one of his favorites.

Update: And if Obama wins Nevada, spins Mark Penn, it’ll be because of those darn unions.

Update II: Okay, the author of that editorial says they screwed up:

The question posed was originally what portraits would you hang in the White House if you were President and as the dialogue progressed, who are the presidents you admire most?

She [Sen. Clinton] listed several presidents that she admired and mentioned she liked Reagan’s communication skills. She did not say Reagan was her favorite President. She didn’t say anything close to that.

So Hillary didn’t say Reagan was one of her favorites either. She just praised his skills. Like someone else suddenly being attacked for doing the same.!
