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?

Iowa, New Hampshire

Iowa and New Hampshire a tell of two states, Iowa, thanks for proving that a highly accomplished black can win a white majority. NH, thanks for being the first in the nation primary. NH thanks for polling on the money, for republicans.

No one knows what happened with the democrat polling, or the electronic voting machines. Some suspect that the outcome was due to no paper trail. Some suspect that the people polled lied to the pollsters. I don't know what happened. But a 13 to 20% swing in less than 12 hours is weird, to say the least.

Obama is still my choice. I just don't want the Clinton comedy show back in town for another 4/8 years. Though, as looks now that is whats going to happen. Lord help us all. They will do anything for power. And if Obama wins South Carolina look for the Clintons to start dealing the race card from the middle, top, and bottom of the deck.

If you think those things Mark Penn and others in the Clinton campaign (including Bill and Hillary) have said are racist, just wait, you ain't seen nothing yet. Calling Obama a crack dealer will be kind in comparison to what's going to come from the Clinton campaign. Obama will be living in crack houses by the time the Clinton campaign finishes trashing him.

And they will put Pat Buchanan out to aide them every step of the way. Buchanan will be on TV every chance he gets saying cocaine, Obama, and every other negative Clinton talking point he can use against Obama. No matter if the things the Clintons the put out or true or not. Buchanan just can't stomach the idea of having a black man as his President.

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

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.
