ei: Did Clinton sabotage a Palestinian reconciliation?.

Clinton has just stated the U.S. wil not recognize the elected Government of Palestine.  This is very disturbing Hammas is not going to back down, what is this saying? The U.S. will support a civil war in Palestine.  This appears to me to be nonproductive saber rattling to me.  The Obama administrations seems to be advocating more of a pro-israeli attititude than the Bush administration evr advocated.  I don’t know maybe they paid her campaign debts off.

Barack Obama’s Administration’s top Contender for Treasury Secretary Continues on with the thread of Sexism of the Obama Campaign

In politics on November 8, 2008 at 8:14 pm

I have a friend who used to go around quoting Ravi Batra.  It was a mantra. Every conversation was injected with his economic theories and beliefs.  I was so inundated with talk of Batra.  I finally read the book my friend let me borrow.  I liked this book because every idea was fresh and it was full of theories I had never been exposed to. Batra talked about economic cycles and the types of groups that would control the cycle.  Some economic cycles were controlled by what he termed aquisitors, people from the business cycle, and others were controlled by other types of groups it’s been a long time so I don’t exactly remember all the groups.   However there was one theory about a particular group that made me catch my breath in shock and think “say it isn’t so”.   This was the theory that when economic cycles are controlled by intellectuals sexism and discrimination rises and the life chances of women are more challenging.  I had not given this theory much of a thought until I observed how the Obama campaign and now administration in waiting has treated women.  I would use the term short.  The Obamites treat women short.  They make a crazy comment and then act like its no big deal.  However it is.

Obama’s embrace of various characters who have been mean and rude and put women down is actually quite disappointing.  For a man who’s awfully committed to abortion rights even saying that if a baby lives during a third term abortion to seek medical care for a child born alive that you can touch, feel, has all of his toes, and fingers, etc. would interfere with a woman’s right to choose.  He has shown a lack of indifference for men who say nasty things about women.  His associates and his choices indicate that his passion for abortion is not particularly for women but for men who don’t want babies.  While I love his family and think they are beautiful, his passionate support of abortions always makes me question how many babies did he abort to get to this family ten, twenty, thirty, one hundred.  His passionate support of abortion at any costs casts his beautiful family into the farce category for me.  In other words the one area where Obama says he supports women seems to be awfully self serving.

The areas where Obama could have made a significant impact and difference in the lives of women in doing something symbolic and life changing for women such as choosing Hillary Clinton for the VP slot was not done and by not choosing Hillary Clinton he showed a remarkable callousness towards the feelings of women.  While some would argue that they had a rather nasty primary fight, if the goal is to be as successful as the Clinton Administration who were rumored to have despised Al Gore but chose him anyway because they thought he would help them win the presidency then Obama is not headed in the direction of compromise for the good of the contry.  Even though Obama did win the election the choice for VP of a man who dropped out of the election first show’s a startling unwillingness to do what’s best for the country, but to do what’s best for his ego.  In other words the woman Hillary Clinton was the best qualified for the slot but Obama chose Biden who dropped out of the race early for his ego.   Not only did he choose Biden a man who stroked his ego for VP.  He chose Biden a man who had shown a remarkable animus towards women.  [see my blog entry on Biden, I remeber how he treated Anita Hill].

As I read about possible Treasury Secretary candidates, I was a little taken aback to see that Larry Summers was leading the list considering that he said  “women were not genetically equipped to excel in Science and Mathematics. I was not particularity surprised that Obama would put this man as a major adviser on his campaign with his views towards women because I had given up on Obama after seeing the Palin wink commercial.

A commercial that I equated to the equivalent of a Willie Horten ad.  Willie Horten was a criminal that the republicans used in an election to scare people into voting for George W. Bush in 1988.

Willie Horton Ad



After seeing the Palin ad, a Horten ad with different names and different circumstances. An ad that was directed to a woman with five children and was the leader of a state.   I was pretty convinced that Obama and his administration will not be woman friendly so hearing the news that Summer’s a top Obama adviser  thought women were not genetically disposed to math and science was not surprising.

As I began to think about Summers I remembered also that he was also that guy who could not get along with the Harvard University Faculty and had to resign as President of Harvard.  I felt a strong sense of deja-vu as I read this and thought about one person I read about who kept being shuttled from the presidency of one company to another and being let go with a multi million dollar parachute.  This analogy fits Summers.  When you hang around with people from a certain group they are going to keep giving you high level positions whether you are emotionally equipped for them or not.

It is ironic that the first “Black” President of the United States is a sexist.

“Hill”ary Clinton “Female” Male Chauvinist Theme Song: Crazy In Love ,

In Hillary Clinton, barack obama, democrats, politicians, politics, presidential race on September 17, 2008 at 10:16 pm

I had to think clearly on how I would craft my words to indicate that after learning that Hillary Clinton refused to appear at a rally with Sarah Palin, that I thought that Hillary Clinton was being chauvinistic towards Sarah Palin.  Hillary’s behavior  indicates that she wants no part of the  baking, dinner cooking, baby having, dish washing segment of women.  While I suppose Hillary Clinton defines a chauvinist as a man that expects a woman to cook and clean and have babies and wear skirts.  Others may define a chauvinist as a person who fails to appreciate cooking, child bearing, dresses, and the beauty of being a woman, and the fact that women have just as much power in heels, perfume, and a dress as men have in any power play they may think of.  Hillary would fall in the second category of folks.  Hillary Clinton through her treatment of Palin has indicated that she has no respect and appreciation for a woman being a woman, and her definition of equality is a woman in pants.  It is ironic that many of the women never actually picked up on Hillary Clinton’s scorn of regular women until Sarah Palin came along.  We with the exception of the majority of  black women [who suffer more from chauvinism and just bad treatment from their men more then any other group] were willing to support Hillary no matter what our backgrounds.  However Hillary showed her scorn of that support when she refused to attend the same event as a regular woman chosen to be the VP for the Republican party.  As women we were disgusted and angered by the jokes regarding Hillary Clinton’s pants and her male like attitude.  We thought that these jokes were aimed at Hillary just because she wanted to touch the the moon and the sky.  However with Hillary’s treatment of Palin we were shocked to realize that Hillary really thought like a man so much so to be a chauvinist towards women who baked cookies.

Arrange Palin’s last name in a different way and you get Plain, “plain old woman” with the hopes of a woman, the feelings of a woman, and the willingness to risk like the American Spirit.  The thing that most women really admire about Sarah Palin is that she was able to transcend the elitist garbage put out my women like Hillary that just because you actually love and want to be with your husband, that you don’t mind cooking dinner, that you are willing to put on a short skirt and makeup, that you actually have lots of sex as indicated by your five children, you can still be somebody in life, and have aspirations.  Unlike the democrats, the Republicans did not say oops being a normal woman is a mess up, lets put our hope in the youth, you’ve messed your life up.  The Republicans said bring it on, if you’re up to the job let’s do it.

Many people have indicated that Hillary Clinton is working so hard for Barack Obama becuase she hopes to win if he loses the next round.  Unfortunately, Clinton in her refusal to appear at a rally that Palin attended indicates that “no” she does not really want to be president because she does not want to represent all of us.  Hillary is essentially saying louder than any words that she does not embrace the diversity of women out there no matter who or what they represent.  I think the electorate is smart enough to realize that just because Hillary Clinton attends a rally with Sarah Palin this does not indicate an endorsement.  Hillary Clinton had the opportunity to say that American stood strong on an issue no matter what their political party and instead chose to renege on an agreement because she did not want to be seen with Sarah Palin.

There are many issues and events that I believe Hillary Clinton should have pulled back on that would have showed her solidarity with women and would have stood as an example to all women that we are not door mats and should be respected but instead she’s made herself a door mat and has created a Theme Song for herself that’s Beyounces “Got Me Feeling Crazy Right Now” . The refrain is:

“Got me lookin so crazy right now
Your love’s got me lookin so crazy right now
(your love)
Got me lookin so crazy right now your touch’s
Got me lookin so crazy right now
(your touch)

While normal women accept that all women have problems and subscribe that no woman should be judged or looked down upon. and continued to support Hillary, myself included.  She returned the favour by snubbing a women that more women relate to than they do to Hillary Clinton.  The majority of us want children, the majority of us want a husband that at least appears loyal, and most of us if we do have a loyal husband want more than one child.  We subscribe to Fairy Tales, and Rags to Riches and while Hillary has achieved a lot more than most and has even been the ultimate Princess, the First Lady.  I think the majority of us are more like Princes DI we are not going to stand for the *&%T, and our not going to stick around for fame and glory at the expense of our feelings, and our self respect.  Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton has not subscribed to that philosophy and has made herself a perpetual door mat.

We all know what she went through with Bill in the Arkansas Governors mansion, what is it they say he would pretend to go for a jog, and have the Arkansas State Troopers meet him and escort him to a sexual encounter, and let’s not mention Monica and others.  All of this is still OK, this is her personal life and it is nobody’s business what happens in her personal life, but in the least she should have announced a public separation from Bill for just a little while but instead she stuck around and who knows maybe it was worth it and maybe it wasn’t but the message she sent out by sticking with such a man is not a message I want my children to receive.   While this is enough to give Hillary the ultimate door mat status.  I think anything Bill did to Hillary can not come close to how she has been treated by the democratic party.  Michigan actually gave Obama the undecided votes which comprised of votes for Edwards, Richardson, and anyone else, as well as the write in vote, as well as gave him extra votes based on Exit Polls. “EXIT POLLS”  THEY TOOK HER DELEGATES AWAY BASED ON AN EXIT POLL.  In addition Hillary was promised a roll call vote at the convention and it was never given, “NEVER GIVEN”.  There are probably a lot more transgressions I can think of perpetrated against Hillary Clinton by the Democratic Party.  Yet Dear Old Hillary is now campaigning for Barack Obama and refusing to appear with the Republican female VP.  THIS IS A DOORMAT AND NOT THE WAY TO GET MY VOTE NEXT TIME>  I WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE APPRECIATIVE OF HILLARY, IF SHE WOULD HAVE JUST DROPPED FROM THE SCENE.  I think the lesson that Hillary must learn is no matter what social class, no matter what educational level or income that a woman owes herself self respect first and self respect does not have a look, it  has a feeling deep inside of a woman that everyone recognizes.

While Hillary Clinton refuses to be seen publicly with a woman that exemplifies the old perfume  commercial “Enjoli”  everyone over thirty may remember the “Enjoli Lyrics:

“I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan. And never let you forget you’re a man. Because I’m a woman, Enjoli”

Hillary keeps campaigning for a man and a party that used back alley tactics to take away her chances of being president and refused to make her VP because he and they were not strong enough to do it.  Whether Obama wins or loses, I will now think of Hillary Clinton in the light of the lyrics in “Crazy in Love”.

Got me looking so crazy, my baby
I’m not myself lately
I’m foolish, I don’t do this
I’ve been playing myself
Baby I don’t care
Cause your love got the best of me
And baby you’re making a fool of me
You got me sprung and I don’t care who sees
Cause baby you got me so crazy

Boston. Com Discusses How Michigan Delegates Were Allocated

In Democratic Primary, Hillary Clinton, barack obama, democrats, politicians, politics, presidential primary on June 1, 2008 at 4:00 am

This blog reported yesterday about the extremely strange way Michigan Delegate votes were allocated to Barack Obama yesterday.  The published post discussed how Obama would get the results of two places on the ballot uncommitted and the write in vote.  Obama asked the voters of Michigan and even passed out handouts suggesting to people who wanted to vote for him to vote uncommitted.  We all assumed he would get uncommitted for Michigan.  We did not assume he would get the write in vote also which according to Michigan is uncounted if a candidate has not formally declared that he would run for office in Michigan write in for the candidate can not be  tallied or recorded the machine ignores them and no one knows who the write ins were for.  Since it is illegal to look at ballots, Michigan says they relied on exit polls in determining the votes Obama should have for write in.  In other words Michigan gave Obama votes without votes.   

In any event I thought I was crazy and must have imagined the above because out of over 50 articles I’ve read about the “big” compromise, no one has written about it.  It’s like Michigan did not do a dirty deal to give Obama votes.  However one truth seeking newspaper is reporting how the Michigan Obama delegates were allotted also.  Joseph Williams and Bryan Bender of the Boston Globe are reporting :

“Mark Brewer, chairman of Michigan’s Democratic Party, told the panel the best solution was a compromise, based on an assessment of exit polling and other data. Brewer said Obama was entitled to 59 pledged delegates to Clinton’s 69, “a far fairer reflection of the Democratic preferences in Michigan.”

Exit polls are not the same things as votes.  Michigan did not hold an exit poll caucus.  Honestly Obama should not have been given the write in vote, and technically he should have been made to associate the uncommitted with his campaign by asking uncommitted to come forward. 

Democrats Give Obama Write In Vote and Uncommitted in MI Primary

In politics on May 31, 2008 at 7:32 pm

The democrats are going on the assumption that the American people are stuck on stupid.    Everyone has been aware that Obama campaigned on the uncommitted vote in Michigan.  However today the credentials committee voted to give him the uncommitted votes and all of the write in votes.  If someone wrote in Mickey Mouse it went to Obama.  If someone wrote in Donald Duck it went to Obama.  MIchigan does not count the write in votes of undeclared candidates, therefore they have no idea who write in voters voted for, therefore they are using exit polls to allot Senator Obama his delegates.  This seems to be highly illegal and strange to give someone delegates based on no votes but an exit poll.  If this is how Democrats plan on running the White House. Count me OUT.  Be warned dear people the news will only give you the result and tell you Michigan will get a half vote for each delegate, but some of Obama’s delegates were not even votes.  They were given to him based on exit polls.  This has to fall into the category of ultimate affirmative action.  I predict a white backlash because of this that will result in a stunning loss by the democratic party unless Hillary Clinton runs as an independent which she very well should after the madness that I’ve just witnessed by the democratic credentials committee.  THIS ELECTION IS LOOKING VERY STRANGE AND IF INDIVIDUALS CAN OPENLY BE UNFAIR< IT”S MAKING ME WONDER IF THE VOTES THAT HAVE REALLY BEEN GOING TO OBAMA ARE TRULY HIS BECAUSE I KNOW EVERY BLACK WOMAN I SPOKE TO EXCEPT OBAMA SUPPORTERS SAID THEY WERE HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS. 

If a State Says Vote and You Don’t Vote Who’s Fault Is It?

In politics on May 31, 2008 at 1:55 pm

IF a state says vote and you don’t vote.  It’s the fault of the voter  for not voting.  It is not the fault of the state, they offered you the chance to vote you should have voted.  Furthermore, it’s the right of the citizens of a state to have their vote counted.  They voted, they thought it would count.  If your candidate takes his name off the ballot, that’s his problem.  IF he knows there is going to be a ballot he should not take his name off of the ballot.  If we are debating these issues we may as well think about them. 

Obama’s Florida Man Does not Have a Clue

In politics on May 31, 2008 at 1:50 pm

 If  Representative Robert Wexlar is an example of the type of people who would be helping to run the country during an Obama presidency.  We are in for Bush two.  Wexler could not tell the truth, could not answer questions asked because he was so determined to hide his real motives of trying to preserve Obama’s delegate lead and pretend that he was concerned with the people of Florida.  He was not concerned with Florida but with Obama.  He literally thought the people interested in the issues had their eyes closed and were stupid.  He argued that Clinton should be happy with the 19 out of 40 delegates that Obama was willing to concede.  He further said that 19 delegates was what she received from two states combined so Florida and Clinton should be happy with this.  When asked about fair reflection  ”proportional representation” he looked like and acted like he did not know what this meant. 

Honestly,  an Obama election is looking like a Bush 2, Mccain may be Bush 2.  What are we going to do?  Prepare for Katrina 2 and pay ten dollars at the pump because the people selected are wide eyed and unaware of how to run this country.  I am so  afraid at this point.  Clinton really should consider and Independant run.  The time is now. 

On the flip side Clinton supporters were very articulate, clear, and aware, and did not lie!  

Dean Sending Attack Dogs on Democratic Rules Committee

In Democratic Primary, democrats, politics, presidential primary on May 28, 2008 at 11:17 am

It was the assumption of most people following the Democratic Florida Michigan election controversy that the credentials committee of the Democratic Party would decide whether to accept Florida’s and Michigan’s delegates on the 31st of May.  However according to Yahoo and The Houston Chronicle Attorneys representing the Democratic Party have sent memos  to the credentials committee members on the 31st telling them what they should do.   Personally if I were Hillary Clinton I would still opt to put myself on the general Election Ballot and run as an independent.  It appears that Dean is on some sort of power play or kick.  He’s determined to rule something, and not represent the people who vote in the democratic primary.  Furthermore, I just have this feeling that the Obama campaign has interfered in this decision and it’s making me feel extremely uncomfortable.  Obama supporters prevented a revote and now from my feelings they are seeking to control the credentials committee.

Clinton Donor’s Keeping the Faith in Her Candidacy

In Democratic Primary, Hillary Clinton, barack obama, democrats, politics, presidential primary on May 28, 2008 at 5:02 am

Clinton lost me after the RFK comment.  While there are several reasons that she could have made the remarks, one being it had such a profound effect on her when she was twenty years old it’s constnatly in the back of her mind, and it is a unique case on terms of what to do.   I still believe the comment was a wishful thinking gaffe.  Obviously the Clinton Donors must be engaging in wishful thinking according to the San Francisco Chronicle, donors are still raising money for Hillary Clinton.  They hope that the rules will be broken. 

You know I have had sympathy for Hillary Clinton’s cause and do believe that the voters of Michigan and Florida should have been heard.  However, if voters are not allowed to vote in either state I beleive it should remain status quo.  The bottom line is if the voters really wanted a revote they would have demanded one and the excuse that Barack Obama and his suopporters were not open to a revote should not have detered anyone.  This would have been the fair thing to do and maybe it can be done but the voters should be heard in the right manner.  However barring a revote the rules shoulstand as is.  I weebled and wobbled on this issue however I remebered a tic tac toe game that I played with my  daughter when whe was in first grade.  I made the mistake of showing her how to win first and then olaying tic tac toe with her.  When two  people know how to play this game usually noone wins.  However my daughter came up with a new rule so she could be the winner she took her pencil and drew a C with three of her X moves and said I won.  I made a C.  For several weeks we would play and she would continue to make a C and I would tell her that she had not won but she refused to hear me.  Finally, I redused to play with her because of this she did not care she preceeded to play with herself after that.  As for me when it first happened I thought “wow” if I would have known that another way of winning was to make a c between the boxes I may have considered playing that way then again I may not have played at all.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about this tic tac toe game and I know realize that though the rules made by Dean are stupid.  Each candidate agreed to the rules  and prepared their campaign by the rules and to change them would be cheating. 

 

Why Did You say that Hillary? Clinton Raises Concerns that Obama Could be Assassinated “one of the Reasons She’s staying in the Race

In Democratic Primary, Hillary Clinton, Race, barack obama, democrats, politicians, politics, presidential primary, presidential race on May 23, 2008 at 6:13 pm

and one big reason Clinton should not be VP to Barack Obama.  In justifying why she should stay in the race until June. Clinton did a recitation of candidates that stayed in late and won and then she said something to the effect “Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June” she, says she meant no harm, and it was not directed towards Obama, but let me tell everyone this, I heard Obama’s name and it was not even mentioned.  Hillary you are married to the former president of the United States and I’m sure he still has assassination contacts who are from your perspective trying to get the job done.  In addition Huckabee’s public plea for someone to kill Obama by jumping on the ground like he was trying to dodge a bullet is proving that maybe Michelle Obama might have to reserve her pride in this country for the day her husband leaves the office of the president alive and well.  From an International perspective this is so embarassing, I was seriously doubting whether the UN needed to go forth with their plan to do a study of racism in the United States but now I am assured they must.  Finally, Hillary you have been jumping on so many peoples bandwagons, the white supremacists argument, the feminist argument I am seriously beginning to think that you have totally lost it.  It is my full belief that any human who runs for president is a crazy egomaniac but the past field of presidential candidates are getting their egos bruised because they have lost, are losing or will lose to a man that is the color brown.  The Clinton and Huckabee attitudes prove that there is no blood argument for who should be first in the white house a person of slave descent or a person of native Kenyan descent with a white American mother.  The threshold for the rich white people who want to have power and keep power is that they just don’t want a man who is the color brown or black to be in the White House.  I was born after the sixties and have gone through many election cycles and I have never heard a political candidate threatened as much as Obama, I have never even heard of  any one even implying that a political candidate could be assassinated.  I don’t think I ‘m going to change my mind again this time, I don’t think there is anything Hillary Clinton can do to make me want to support her anymore.

This is the one thing I do know Obama will not be assassinatedeven though there seems to be this massive racists call for someone to do something about it.  I have realized that Obama’s is winning because he’s an Eagle he flies higher.  The thing he, his family and his supporters  need to do is  not give off the energy that something could happen to him, know that he will live that nothing will happen and believe it.  The media has to stop reporting this stuff because they are stirring up some primal call that is not going to happen.  Hillary I think you may seriously need to retire to your rocker because it’s looking like you will do anything to be president and that’s not good.  I think at this point I’m going to have to let you go, and wear my Obama T-Shirt tomorrowt to indicate my solidarity with a movement that insists upon change.  At this juncture I have no choice but to be an Obama supporter.  There is no where else to go. 

Hillary Clinton has a 30 million dollar or more war chest to run as an Independent in the General Election

In Race, The Economy, politics, presidential primary, presidential race, republicans on May 22, 2008 at 10:01 pm

The Question: I thought Hillary Clinton was in Debt How can she have 30 million dollars for the election?

The Answer:  At the beginning of the election Clinton donors gave the maximum they could give and half went to the primary and the other half was put in reserve for the General election if she won.    If she runs as an independant the war chest for the general election is her’s.  If she goes as Obama’s VP.   the money is theirs, if Obama retires her campaign debt he will get it back with interest. 

With That Said!

It is pretty obvious that despite the fact that Hillary Clinton is smart, intelligent, and thoughtful and really concerned about the American People in terms of Healthcare and lowering gas prices that the democrats are looking for something a little or a lot different.  They are looking for a man who calls himself a Republican and a Democrat and has even has gone so far to suggest that he could possibly choose a Republican as a running mate.  This is all juxtaposed with a minister who hates rich white people and implies that the WTC victims deserved what they got because they were Americans, add to that a spouse that has never been proud to be an American (Why don’t they move to Kenya for Christ Sakes) and there is even a widely circulated rumor that his spouse is on a video talking about how much she hates whitey.  No one in the democratic party as far as super delegates go is willing to risk the wrath of the black populace by not voting for Barack Obama even though he may not be the winning or the right candidate.  Furthermore the spouse of Barack Obama has said that she is unwilling to see the former First Lady and Senator Clinton as the running mate of her precious husband.  What is Hillary Clinton to do?

No one can deny that Hillary in the last part of the campaign has found her voice and is experiencing great momentum and I have to add that her campaign manager at the time is a Black Woman.  Her prior campaign manager who absolutely positively did not know what she was doing or deliberately sabotaged the campaign “who knows” is poised to join the Obama team after the convention is over.  As far as Patti Sweetie working for Obama, good luck she’s just a sludge collecting a check.  She can turn gold into straw as she evidently did for Hillary Clinton. 

In any event what is a woman with an over thirty million dollar general election war chest to do.  If she is not chosen for VP by Obama and the Democrats should she just walk away or should she spend the money that she has earned in an independent run for the presidency.  Well Known’s that have gone ahead to run as independents in  general elections  and won are Joe Lieberman and Roosevelt even ran as an independent and won,   With a slate of a Republican and a Question Mark! or a Hillary Clinton, or even a Clinton.  I think the Clinton would win.  The polls have already shown that Hillary would win to John McCain and since the press and the democrats don’t like the way she does math in terms of how to win the Presidency she should take this math and use it in the general election and prove herself a winner.  Finally since the majority of Americans do not know what it is like to be part of a party and don’t understand how the rules can prevent their votes from counting because most people literally thought that democrats and republicans were practically parties that were the government and not parties that were private social clubs that could not be sued for counting their votes. 

Hillary Clinton if she runs as an independent can give them what they want an honest to God opportunity to vote for her and have their votes count.  Hillary if you leave the democratic party no one will think this is a desperate ploy to sabotage Barrack Obama.   We will think that you truly believe in your heart that you have what it takes to represent this country and I personally  thinkthat you would win if you chose a running mate of course that was male and not two women on ticket anything other than that,  would be two “bitches” on a ticket. 

 With that said Hillary please drop the cries of female discrimination, It smacks of Geraldine Ferraro and Gerri has led you down the wrong road before.  A winner always thinks that they have transcended whatever they are and you have, you have transcended gender and if you continue to talk about your gender problems you will not be able to run as an independent because you would have framed yourself as a bitter loser which you are not, you are not.  Patti’s the loser not you.   I’ve heard about the iron lady but you lost the previous races because frankly Patti did not give a you know what. 

 I personally had not heard about some of the things referenced about you until two days ago.   In the Washington Post article entitled The Sisters are Steamed ,  Howard Kurtz quotes Columnist Marie Cocco as being offended by the comments directed to Hillary Clinton.  She says the following: 

“I will not miss seeing advertisements for T-shirts that bear the slogan ‘Bros before Hos.’ The shirts depict Barack Obama (the Bro) and Hillary Clinton (the Ho) and they are widely sold on the Internet.

“I will not miss walking past airport concessions selling the Hillary Nutcracker, a device in which a pantsuit-clad Clinton doll opens her legs to reveal stainless steel thighs that, well, bust nuts. I won’t miss television and newspaper stories that make light of the novelty item.

“I won’t miss episodes like the one in which the liberal radio personality Randi Rhodes called Clinton a ‘big [expletive] whore’ . . .

“I won’t miss Citizens United Not Timid (no acronym, please), an anti-Clinton group founded by Republican guru Roger Stone . . .

“I won’t miss political commentators (including National Public Radio political editor Ken Rudin and Andrew Sullivan, the columnist and blogger) who compare Clinton to the Glenn Close character in the movie ‘Fatal Attraction.’ . . . The airwaves will at last be free of comments that liken Clinton to a ’she-devil’ (Chris Matthews on MSNBC, who helpfully supplied an on-screen mockup of Clinton sprouting horns). Or those who offer that she’s ‘looking like everyone’s first wife standing outside a probate court’ (Mike Barnicle, also on MSNBC).”

I was truly shocked to hear of these comments and actions directed towards Senator Clinton but the obvious response in my mind was. She was women enough to be first lady, were you man enough to be the president.  She was woman enough to be the Governor’s wife were you man enough to be Governor.  Obviously the problem with people directing these comments towards Hillary Clinton is they suffer from don’t know what a penis is or how to use it disorder. 

Finally, I have to take massive quotes from the Kurtz article again to justify why Clinton should go for the gold and run as in independentKurtz quotes the New York Times as writing the following:

“Mrs. Clinton’s all-but-certain defeat brings with it a reckoning about what her run represents for women: a historic if incomplete triumph or a depressing reminder of why few pursue high political office in the first place. ” Senator Clinton you should not leave it at this, the same media mourning your defeat is the same media that worked tirelessly to see that you were defeated, show them that you are not “defeated” run the race through with the democrats and if you feel that they have given you a pocket full of wooden nickels, be an Indies. Indies are so popular these days why not in politics too.  “Be The Ultimate Indie

Finally what I would like to say is that a Clinton is a brand and I think that like Tide cleans our clothes well, I believe that Hillary Clinton has the will and the problem solving skills to clean up this country. I trust Hillary Clinton and that is so important in a presidential candidate. 

Kentucky Gives Hillary Clinton More than a Moral Win “If Hillary is not the Nominee the Democrats Will Lose”

In barack obama, democrats, politics on May 20, 2008 at 10:00 pm

At the beginning of the day a thought occurred to me.  According to the Obama campaign, the media, and the democratic party Barack Obama has the democratic nomination locked up; I immediately thought,  if Hillary Clinton wins Kentucky big the voters of Kentucky who are aware that Obama has the nomination supposedly locked up are trying to give the democratic party a huge message.  The message is they are not voting for Barack Obama in the November.  When individuals constantly hear over and over that there person of choice can not win.  The natural inclination is to give up  and not show up.  In showing up and not voting for Obama these voters are sending a very loud message that they will not be voting for Obama in November.  Obama has established himself as King of the Caucases but when hundreds and less turn out out of hundreds of thousands to pick a nominee; the winning candidate unless they are the landslide victor has a problem.  The democratic party has a big problem

As much as people would like to call people who vote for Hillary racists.  The sad truth is that they are not.  The only true racists in this election seem to be Obama and Geraldine Ferraro.  They are the ones with the problems.  People are calling Hillary and Bill racists for comments yet Obama sat and heard racists comments against whites for twenty years and he’s supposed to be clean,  This is hypocritical and as far as the media attempts to make voting for Obama some sort of strange strange status symbol they only illuminate what’s so wrong in this country and why Johnny can’t read.  I have met college graduates who could not write, spell and speak standard English and high school dropouts who wrote like Pulitzer Prize winners.    As we watch the taking of the democratic nomination by brokerage by ritualistically eliminating Florida (The path to the White House seems intent on disenfranchising Florida), the ignoring of incidents and associations that would have knocked a white man out of this game, we will remember this day as the day the democrats marched to failure. 

Bill and Hill: Black People a Means to an end

In Democratic Delegates, Democratic Primary, Hillary Clinton, Race, barack obama, democrats, politics, presidential primary on May 12, 2008 at 8:23 pm

You know people discuss all that Bill Clinton did for black people.  The truth is that as evident in how they are fighting to get in the white house.  Black People did an awful lot for Bill and Hill they voted for them.  This is why they were able to do something for black people.  It is pretty evident that black people were a means to an end for Bill and Hill.  If they really cared deeply for black people as they claimed to Hillary Clinton would drop out of the race and let black people have a black president.  They were cheated out of having a black vice presidential nominee of Jesse Jackson in the eighties and obvioulsy the democrats lost.  Neither democrat will get the “real” evangelists or values voters who seem to be making the difference for the republicans because of they both are heavy supporters of abortion.   In addition black people are not the only ones sho support Barack OBama, Everybody supports him.   I have come to the conclusion that Barack Obama played the game fairly, he played the game to win.  This is generational change.  This generation is not afraid of color.  If Hillary Clinton gets the nomination, I will be a very public protester.    Bill and Hill need to leave the dirty tricks at home.  We all know that the popular vote will not win an election, it is the number of delegates you have.  At this point Hillary Clinton needs to leave gracefully, no elected super delegate is going to risk their office to see Barack Obama cheated out of what is rightfully his.  White people say they hate affirmative action, Hillary Clinton should stop asking for it. 

Hillary, It’s Time to Woman Up and Prepare to Leave the Race

In Democratic Primary, Hillary Clinton, barack obama, democrats, mitt romney, presidential primary on May 10, 2008 at 11:26 am

I have tried to stand by Hillary Clinton through thick and through thin because I believe/possibly believed that she is a good woman and a qualified candidate. I am completely objective so most of the time class, racial, economic issues do not have a bearing on my judgement of character, I once took a career aptitude test long ago that said my personality was so objective that a suggested career path for me was a judge. With all of that said, I am going to say the following I do not believe that Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race because she trails Obama, this is something that could have been dealt with with a good old fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates as well as an appal to the Superdelegates that she had a level head and was more qualified to lead us through these extremely tough times we live in. However lately with every word that comes out of her mouth it’s apparent to me that she does not possess the sound judgement to lead this country.

A President is supposed to want to represent ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME

I first got a strong whiff of shall I say racism when Former President Clinton said something to the effect of so what if Barack Obama won South Carolina, Jesse Jackson did too. I was appalled when I heard this because I immediately recognized Clinton was saying that a black man could not win. I however remembered that the Clinton’s had solved the National debt and put some good programs on the table that helped everyone and continued to support Hillary Clinton, also because of the abortion issue with Barack Obama. Bill Clinton said another thing that struck me as strange that “Barack Obama was living in a Fairy Tale” At the time I thought that people were over reacting and “living in a fairy tale” was referencing the extremely white glove treatment the media was giving Barack Obama; however as the race has gone on and I have heard Senators Clinton’s repetitive reference to the fact that she represents Blue Collar and White Americans, I am beginning to believe that the Fairy Tale Comment was alluding to Obama’s race and for the record I want to respond by saying that any black person who meets the criteria for running for President, by being over 35, of sound mind, and not a felon, is not living in a Fairy Tale for Thinking they could win the Presidency. Finally, the next oddity regarding the Clinton’s was the trotting out of Geraldine Ferraro who said if Obama were a white man he would not have gotten that far in the election, and I have echoed the same in this blog but the caveat is if Hillary were a white man with her credentials she would have not have gotten this far, as a matter of fact if she had been a white man she probably would have been laughed out of running for any political office as a sissy running in the coat tails of his wife. In addition as I read about Geraldine Ferraro I learned that she had deep sixed Jesse Jackson’s run for the vice presidency in 1984 or 1988 at the convention therefore resulting in a failing team of Mondale and Ferraro. I think Ferraro succeeded in deadening the ticket immediately as it was revealed that she was a former substance abuser.

A Badly Run Campaign

Hillary Clinton literally had the keys to the White House in her hand. She and Bill Clinton had left the white house and by the time they left the National Debt was eradicated, the economy was good, they had created jobs, and kept gas prices and food prices low. Bill Clinton had been a strong and a good leader and by the end of his terms left office as the Black Person’s best friend. It was very disappointing to realize during Hillary Clinton’s run for office that accentuating the positive would not be the strategy that would be used. I have written to the campaign and I said all you have to do is keep reciting the positive aspects of the Clinton years and you will win. All you have to do is state that you will continue most of the positive strategies that were used in the Clinton administration and you will win. Hillary Clinton and Gore obviously don’t think there were any or did not remember the good times of Clinton years and chose the dangerous path of trying to reinvent the wheel. I think failure to know how to Follow Bill Clinton has resulted in this dismal losing campaign. The Hillary Clinton presidential campaign is beginning to look a lot like H. Clinton’s first stab at a Universal Health Care plan it should have gone through and if you would have had to bet on it going through you would have placed your bet on Hillary and you would have lost, the Health Care Plan, did not go through, however the big caveat is that Laura Bush’s education plan did go through and make no mistake it was Laura’s plan and desire for this bill to go through. The tenets come straight from the observers point of view 1. I see really intelligent children who are just not being taught, they are being left behind. 2. I wish these children could go to quality schools like more affluent children maybe this may make the difference. etc. etc. etc. This is why the education bill was put through on day one of the Bush administration because Mrs. Bush wanted it to be put though and was willing to make it a presidential issue not a first lady issue. I say all of this to say to Hillary Clinton that sometimes you have to sit back and let others do the work for you. They will get the job done. However, Bill was not the man to run her campaign as evident in his racist comments, Bill’s Campign manager James Carville is wise enough and aware enough to have given Hillary what she wanted the Presidency but she chose to blaze her own path when everyone knows that the quickestwas to success is through imitation. Finally, the time are different and when I saw Benazhir Bhutto’s assasination I sort of knew that Hillary Clinton would not win because these are different times and what worked yesterday does not work today. Benazhir erred by sticking her head out of the van, she erred in her arrogance that she could control the situation. In the society we live in no one person can conrol everything, you have to let go, in the words of Hillary Clinton “It takes a Village” , Barack Obama has a Village

In Closing

Hillary Clinton I honestly do believethat ii is time for you to say goodbye and let Obama do the work he has to, to try and win, I personally I am holding out for McCain Rice but any superdelegate worth their salt and their elective position does not want to see you win through superdelegate votes because what this means is that they have to go back to their hometown and have people look at them as the person who may have voted for the woman who claims to be the voice of the working class and the white folks, when frankly that has always been the cry of the republicans. However democrats since the late 60’s have been the voice of minorities, the liberals, the poor, the working class, the technologists, and others. Hillary your message just is not getting through, and I seriously doubt that Super Delegates are going to risk committing political suicide by voting for you. HILLARY IT”S TIME TO GET OUT OF THE RACE STOP MAKING BILLS FOR YOU AND BILL GET OUT, AT THIS POINT YOUR RUN HAS BECOME A RICH LADY’S WHIM!
