The Clintons Still In Our Faces, Why Barack Why?

I just want the Clintons to go away. Lord knows, I was elated when Barack Obama entered the race for POTUS. Not only would the country get a dynamic, charismatic very capable leader, and a very stylish beautiful smart first lady in Michelle, and their adorable girls as first children. But the main thing for me was that he was the one democratic candidate that could beat Hilliary for the nomination. And indeed he did. Now President-elect Obama is going to appoint Hillary as his Secretary of State. Just when I thought the Clintons were finally put away, only to come out in the open when Bill did something stupid to get himself noticed, he craves any kind of attention.

This is a slap in the faces of all us true believers who worked so hard to get Barack elected our 44th President. Really we, or maybe I should speak for myself, I did the grunt work for his campaign. I knocked on the doors, made the phone calls, hosted events, attended the strategy meetings, and took the did it all without getting paid one thin dime. In fact all at my expense. I was insulted on the phone, had doors slammed in my face, and called names. All by the very same people Hillary worked so hard to woo out to vote for her during the summer.

Please don't get me wrong, I was more than happy to do everything I could to get Barack elected. But I didn't do it all to get Hillary the plum job of Secretary Of State. She deserves nothing, let her work for John McCain. After all, she worked so hard for him during the primaries. "Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience," "Sen. Obama will bring a speech". This is just one of the many nice things Hillary said in the postive of Sen. McCain, and not so nice things in the negative of POTUS-elect Obama, while chasing the dragon in quest of her insatiable need to be POTUS. Heck, she even loosely said she was hanging in the primary race when there was no chance for her to win the nomination, in case then Sen. Obama got taken out by some looney she helped race bait.

For the life of me I can't understand Barack's decision to bring the Clintons into forefront of his administration, or back into our, the American people, lives. I thought with Barrack winning the nomination and Presidency that we would finally be rid of the never ending dramaedy a.k.a the Bill and Hill road show. God knows we deserve to be free of the stupid Clinton comedy tour, oh so sad, so so sad for us.

Why would he even want this woman anywhere near him, his family, his White House, or his adminstration. This totally baffles me. And indeed, just because he seems to to want her as Secretary Of State, doesn't mean we, his loyal supporters should have to suffer for at least the next four years. We deserve his loyalty more than any promises he made to the Clintons. Four more long years of red-faced Bill wagging his crooked finger at the t.v. cameras, biting his thin dried out, cracked up bottom lip, ...yuck. God help us. They'll never be in the background.

Being a black American I am personally offended by Barack's picking Hillary for this position. My memory is apparently much longer than his. "Americans, hard working Americans, White Americans" don't vote for this negro, is the message she intended to send to her white supporters. Bill Clinton was a little more sneaky in his dealing out the race card, "Jesse Jackson won here twice", Bill said of the South Carolina primary. The message, the only reason Barack could win South Carolina would be because blacks make up the majority of the democratic base in the state. I'm not saying the Clintons are racist, I don't think they are. But I also know they have no problem playing one race against another race to get their way. They have no problem using whatever they deem it might take. No matter the hurt.

Why Barack, WHY? Why are you doing this to us? Why make the Clintons more important than they deserve to be? I mean Barack is the President-elect, yet all the news media has been talking about for the past couples of weeks is the Clintons, and their warped way of getting themselves back in the headlines. Why Barack Why?

Barack Won, Hillary Lost, The Right Can Get Over It

First of all, I want to give my very sincere thanks to Barack Obama. I want to thank him for putting together a fantastic campaign team. I want to thank him for being practical, and using his hard working supporters donations very wisely. I want to thank him for not taking the advice of the pundits who demanded he go negative on Senator Clinton. I want to thank Barack for winning the nomination his way. He took the Clintons down by keeping his standards and head high. But most of all, I want to thank Barack for saving us from Clinton 2XL for the next four to eight years.

So now the right can just get over it. The best man won, and the rights's woman lost. The right can lick their wounds and prepare to welcome Barcak as Commander And Chief. Barack is going to be POTUS. He played the game by the rules, and won it fair and square. He didn't ask for, or need the pundits advice to play the first half of the game, and he won't ask for, or need their advice to bring home the winning score.

But cheer up, all you right wingers, after November's election while the rest of us will be focusing on getting the Country's heart and soul back after sixteen years. Getting the nation back on the right track for it's citizens after eight years of Bush. Getting back our country's respect around the world. Getting out of that bloody Iraq war. Taking care of the warriors when they come home, and many other important issues to numerous to list here. You right wing pundits can keep trying, day after day, to convince your flock(no else one will pay any attention to your jaw jacking gibberish) that Barack is a lousy POTUS. After all that's what you do best, lie!

So, Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, Juan Williams, most everyone at Fox News, and all the other nay saying haters out there, you tried your best, and you failed. Now you can fix yourself a stiff drink. Take your calming pills. Put a damp cloth over your forehead, and stretch out on your couch. It's going to be a very long eight years for you.

By the way, you right wing pundits are always telling us how disappointed and angry Hillary's older white women supporters are that she lost the primary. Well, there are a few older and younger white women who have had the pleasure of Bill's company, who probably won't feel to bad that Billary won't be in their faces everyday as POTUS. Ask Kathleen, Monica, or any of the others how they feel about it.

Hillary, And Some Blacks Blind Support

I can't understand this misplaced blind loyalty a lot of black people have for the Clintons. What did Bill Clinton do as President to help blacks? If blacks who are supporting Hillary (and this includes some Hillary boot lickers in the congressional black caucus) would take off the rose colored glasses, stop romamcticizing about how great the Clintons are, and take a good honest look at the Clinton Presidency's history toward blacks. Then the blacks who are blindly supporting Hillary would see what the Clintons really did to help.

Here are a few ways the Clintons helped blacks. While running in 1992, candidate Bill Clinton left the campaign trail to personally sign the death warrant, and oversee the execution of Ricky Ray Rector, a young black man in Arkansas. Rector was sentenced to death for killing a police officer in 1981. Rector shot himself in the head after killing the officer, and became retarded with an IQ of around 70. Before being put to death Rector asked if he could save his dessert until after his execution.

And then there's Haiti. Candidate Clinton promised political refuge for Haitians fleeing their poor country. This was a promise President Clinton had no intentions of keeping. The day after taking office he revoked that campaign promise. President Clinton said the reason for breaking his promise was that there were to many new blacks coming into the U.S. from Haiti.

Bill Clinton also helped blacks with the 1994 crime bill. Which took money from education to build hundreds of new prisons. Clinton helped with the three strikes law. Now there are many people across this country severing life for stealing candy bars. This statement is not to imply blacks commit more crimes than other groups, but to say that blacks more likely to be convicted of crimes. And please, let's not forget the differences in the sentencing penalties of power verses crack cocaine. Power cocaine users, mostly whites, get sentenced to rehab. Crack cocaine, precieved to be possessed mostly by blacks, get sentenced up to life in prison. A stroke of a pen by Bill Clinton could have changed that stupid difference in sentencing.

And of course there's Rwanda. This is the saddest of all help Clinton gave blacks here and in Africa. Over 800,000 slaughtered in a few months in 1994. While the "first black President" watched, and did nothing to stop the bloodbath. Of course he was up for re-election in '96, and I am sure he did not want to anything that might hurt his chances (say,.. like maybe stop the mass killings of black people) He did later send troops to Yugoslavia (which was the right thing to do).

And now Hillary Clinton is being very helpful by calling the only black man whose ever had a decent chance of being elected President "naive and irresponsible". I am sure Hillary only said these things out of concern for the safety and security of the country. It's only a coincidence that this particular black man is the biggest threat to her becoming the party's nominee for President in '08. She's not just playing into some of the country prejudices, and stereotypes that black people are "naive and irresponsible".
This is just a sample of what the Clintons did to help black people. Not only in America but around the world.

THE ELEPHANTS IN SHEEP'S WOOL PART II

As my profile states I am a avid watcher of political talk shows. So I want to share a few things that I think you will find interesting that I have picked up on from one of these shows.On August 3rds Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough's early morning gab fest (and the same show where the host once said Fred Thomson's wife could work the poles at strip clubs). One of the call in guest was none other than Pat Buchanan. Good ole boys Joe and Pat were yuckin' it up about Barack Obama saying at the CNN youtube debate that as President he would meet with so-called rogue world leaders, and Sen. Obama's saying in an earlier speech that he would hunt down terrorists in Pakistan. And that he, Sen. Obama, would not use nuclear weapons in Pakistan because civilians would also be killed, and that nuclear weapons were off the table.

The two good ole boys really went at it, saying Sen. Obama was a rookie, making rookies' mistakes. Yea right, big mistake to try talking instead of shooting, or to hunt down terrorists, or not drop nuclear weapons that will not only kill thousands of innocent men, women and children, but also have negative repercussions on the entire world for generations to come. Can you imagine the radio active fallout if such weapons are ever used again? Or the damage that will be done to America's reputation? We think we are disliked around the world now.

Anyway, the good ole boys of Morning Joe said Sen. Obama was weak for saying he would talk to so-called rogue world leaders, and that Sen. Obama was being to tough for wanting to hunt down terrorist.

Fact is, nothing Sen. Obama says would be the right thing to these boys. If Sen. Obama had every view point the same as Hillary, Sacrbourgh and Buchanan would say Barack is wrong, and Hillary is right.

Good ole boy Joe said Sen. Obama had no idea that he was throwing away Florida in the general election when Sen. Obama said, when asked, that he would meet with Castro and, that Sen. Obama had not calculated his answer enough. Well, Joe has it ever crossed your small mind that Sen. Obama was just being honest, and not being calculated. After all, there are other people that live in Florida besides the Cubans who hate Castro. Maybe, Sen. Obama sees, as I do, that the U.S. embargo against Cuba is only hurting the Cubans that actually live in Cuba. Besides, the Clintons threw away the Cuban vote in Florida when Bill Clinton returned Elian Gonzales to his father, who lives in Cuba. The Florida Cubans are furious with the Clintons for that.

In fact, at different points in time, Hillary has made the same statements as Barack pertaining to Pakistan and, nuclear weapons, and she also said the U.S President should meet with so-called rogue world leaders. She was for these things before she she was against them.

When Joe Scarborough was in congress he voted against President Clinton on almost everything. He voted to impeach the President. He voted against intervening in the Balkans. Yet Scarboroubgh says Sen. Obama is naive and inexperienced. How smart and experience were those votes?

During the lead up to the Iraq War, and in the beginning when the war seemed an easy victory for the U.S.; Scarborough used every chance he got to lead the battle charge (from the safety of his chair) for bombing Iraq back to the Stone Age. Now that there's a possibility that his sons might have to fight in the war Scarborough wanted so badly, he's now become so anti war.

Pat Buchanan worked for Richard Nixon, the only President in history who had to resign rather than face impeachment for crimes he committed while holding the highest political office in the world, and while holding that office made derogatory remarks about blacks and Jews according to recently released white house tapes, as reported by Newsweek. The same Pat Buchanan who very recently told Bill O'Reilly on O'Reilly's show, that the whites in South Africa were suffering because apartheid was outlawed there. It seems Pat Buchanan thinks it was better in South Africa when blacks there lived in conditions that were as bad as slavery was in the United States. Yet Buchanan calls Sen. Obama naive, incompetent, irresponsible, and inexperienced. Give me a break! How wise, responsible, competent or experienced was that stupid statement?

Yes, like Pat And Joe most pundits want Hillary Clinton as the democratic nominee, and there is a very long list of right wing gas bags cheering Hillary on. But are we going to let the right pick our nominee? I say Hell No! I don't care who the right picks as their loser. But ask yourself this, do you really want to relive the Clinton era? And all the baggage that went with it? Since 1992, it's been constant Clinton. Don't you think its time for someone new?

Yes, the right will use the name Clinton to make millions. The same righties who are praising Hillary now will be vilifying her in books, television, radio, newspaper and anywhere else they can make a buck off hating her. The right wingers are sheep now, but the day after Hillary's elected President they will once again become wolves.

THE ELEPHANTS IN SHEEP'S WOOL

I am new to the Blogger sphere, and I might add not such a good typist. But I am also a politically active person with progressive ideas. I am a very liberal. So I started my own blog to share my beliefs and ideas on the '08 election, and on politics in general. I have to say right off, my preferred Presidential candidate is "that skinny kid with the funny name". Of course, I am talking about Barack Obama. But any of the democratic candidates will be better than another republican. A republican in the White House in '08 will mean more of the same. More Iraq, more corruption, more unqualified cronies, more right wing judges, and so on.

So with all this in mind I have to ask myself', why are most right wing pundits rooting for Hillary to be the Democrats' nominee? Let me say straight up front that I think Hillary is okay. I am just ready for freshness in D.C, however I do believe the reason most right wing talking heads want Hillary is for their wallets. They, as do most of our Country, realize that the democratic nominee will more than likely be our next President. So if the nominee is Hillary, the right will once more have a Clinton in the White House to bash day after day. The pundits will have their right wing flock to preach to, thus they will have the audience that thrives on the hate they will be putting out about her. The idea of Barack Obama, John Edwards, or any other democrat getting the nomination scares the greenbacks out of the right. Most of the right wing talkers have made a job out of demonizing the Clintons. The chattering right created so many Clniton controversies, and wrote so many books, got so many television appearances, and made so much money off of their Clinton hating sermons.

Please don't be fooled by the right wing pundits, they care very little about Americans. What these right wing talking heads worship is the mighty dollar, and Hillary will have them talking all the way to the bank. Joe Scarborough is now the Clinitons biggest fan, yet he spent his entire 6 years in congress telling Americans that the Clintons were the Devils on earth. This goes double for Pat Buchanan. Now he is on MSNBC everyday practically pulling the lever in the voting booth for Hillary. Tucker Carlson, who once said he eat his shoe if Hillary's book sold well, is now campaigning for her on his show.

At first I thought it was because Barack Obama is black that they talked him down so, but after hearing them talk the same way about John Edwards. I knew there was something else going on. I believe that it was because both these men, Obama and Edwards, threaten their high paying, Clinton bashing jobs. So America beware of right wing wolves who talk with sheep words. There are enough Clinton Haters out there to keep the right wing pundits dressed in the finest sheep wools.
