I have tried to stand by Hillary Clinton through thick and through thin because I believe/possibly believed that she is a
goad 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 TIMEI 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 g
one 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 CampaignHillary 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 l
et 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 quickest was 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
believe that 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!
