Obama (Clooney and Geffen) vs. Hillary (Fonda and De Niro)

Interesting to see the battle shaping up between the Hollywood elite over the selection and support of their favorite democratic candidates. Hillary Clinton must be shocked and worried by the bridge- burning dialogue going on between her camp and her former supporters. When massive heavyweights such as David Geffen publicly call you out and side against you, you have your hands full.

As far as Obama goes, he is virtually a complete unknown with a paper-thin resume of achievements and experience. His two primary platforms, immediate removal of troops from Iraq and universal health care for everyone, are vague and do not stand up under scrutiny. It is obvious his advisers are choosing to groom him along the campaign trail by keeping him insulated from the media accept for highly choreographed events.

Obama is the 2008 version of "The Candidate." Poor Hillary looks old and scared. However, never count out the Clintons. It's still very early and she is still a huge favorite.
