Clinton the Satirist

Is Clinton finally landing some punches on Obama? After weeks and weeks of ineffective, often counter-productive, attacks Clinton seems to have found something that works: Humor.

The nice part about this is that it connects to not just what Hillary supporters are feeling, but also Obama supporters as well.
