Not Likable Enough

During the 2008 election, Barack Obama characterized his primary opponent - Hillary Clinton - as "likable enough." He was being insincerely polite.

Ed Driscoll guest blogs at Instapundit and quotes Australian Tim Blair who reprints a quote from Hillary Clinton's new book What Happened. She writes:
I have come to terms with the fact that a lot of people — millions and millions of people — decided they just didn’t like me. What makes me such a lightning rod for fury? I’m really asking … I’m at a loss.
Well, Hillary, for starters, you remind millions of American men of their know-it-all exwife, and millions of second wives of their husband's shrill first wife. Neither image is a winner.
