Hillary: About Face
Advisor: Hey, you. Have you seen our girl?
Aide: Oh, hello ma'am. Yes, yeah she's in the conference room, going over her race speech.
Advisor: Thanks, I'll go- wait, what? Her "race speech"?
Aide: Um. Yeah. You know, her speech to answer all the critics and speculation about her position and views on race in our country and how it affects her personally.
Advisor: But.. why would she do that?
Aide: Uh. Because Obama did?
Advisor: She's giving a speech on race because Obama gave a speech on race? I ask again. Why?
Aide: Well. Because that's how it works. Obama creates a message of Hope, and Hillary takes it and makes it hers. Obama talks about the need for change, and Hillary makes it a campaign slogan. Obama says "Yes We Can!" and Hillary improves on it with "Yes We Will!" So if Obama makes race a focus, Hillary will find a way to get out in front of that, too.
Advisor: So, stupid question. Does she realize he's black?
Aide: Oh, well sure. Why do you think she's been in makeup for so long today?
