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?

Republicans, Face Change, Same Game

They're Back! Only now they want us to believe they are different. John McCain is the republicans nominee for POTUS. He says he's a different kind of republican, McCain says he won't run a campaign based on negativity and sleaze. He says that he will run a issue based campaign. He says he won't be a Bush clone, yea right. The republicans have no issues to run on, so do the only thing they know to do to win. They spread to sleaze. Only this time around they are off their game.

In the 2004 election the media aided RoveBush in the sleaze game against John Kerry. Anyone with half a brain knew that the swift boat liars for Bush were telling bald face lies about Kerry's Vietnam service. Yet the media reported these lies as if they the gospel truth. Chris Matthews pratically made the swift boat liars his co-hosts.

John McCain himself was a victim of the sleaze game in the 2000 primary. I guess he saw how good it worked against him in South Carolina, so now in 2008 he'll used it against Obama. Only he's nowhere as good at it as the master, RoveBush. And maybe, just maybe, certain white Americans are smarter this this time around. But don't count on it. These certain whites only see and hear what their small minds let them see and hear.

During the primaries I actually gave some thought to voting for McCain, if Billasea had won our party's nomination. Thank God they didn't win. If they had I would have probably had sit the election out, knowing what I now about McCain. He has become what he up until this POTUS election year said he hated, a man who will do and say whatever it takes to win. No matter how sleazy his actions are. I wonder how low he's going to go.

As I said before if the Clintons had won the primary I would have, once anyway, voted for McCain. I would have voted republican so that McCain would have had one more vote to defeat the Clintons. Not anymore. It's the same old game, only the face has changed.

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.
