The Big Endorsement

When you watched John Edwards over the last few days, you got a sense that he was on the verge of endorsing Obama but something made him stop. Many people said it was his wife (who really likes Hillary's health care plan) or perhaps he wanted to stay neutral in order to help out later on at the convention. What ever the reason he came out today in Michigan and enthusiastically support Mr. Obama. Although all of this is happening it seems that Hillary is not going anywhere, as she told Wolf Blitzer she is in it until the end. My hope is that Mrs. Clinton does not make this ugly and that she goes out with grace and dignity. I hope that she campaigns hard for Mr. Obama and tells her supporters that he really is the best candidate.


There is one problem all year she has been telling people that he is not qualified, that she and McCain have the experience but Obama does not.


Funny how sometimes you have to be careful what you say because many times it can come back to bite you.

Are we stil in a Democracy or did I miss something

While it looks like Mr. Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee there seems to be a group of legislatures who want to overturn what that people have voted for on May 8, 2008 10 legislatures in support of Hillary Clinton sent a letter to the Super Delagates (both decided and undecided) and asked them to cast thier vote for Hillary Clinton. Thier argument is that Hillary Clinton won most of the swing states and had a broader base appeal and would be best suited to beat John McCain in the November election. This letter was to appeal to Super delagtes who supported Obama to change thier vote and those who have not decided to vote for Hillary Clinton.


This letter is one of the most offensive things I have ever seen. So let me get this straight. Obama has won the most votes, delegates and raised the most money and you want to take the nomination away from him,.

I find this offensive as a American, voter, African American, and supporter of the Democratic party. Does my vote count anymore? Do you think that the American people who voted for Obama are stupid and not capable of making an intelligent decision?

Even before I could vote I supported the Democratic party. I volunteerd for Carter campaign when I was 13 years old and have supported each Democratic nominee since that time. If this party in some back room decides to take this away for Mr. Obama then I will change my affillation from the Democratic party to Republican. Not only will I vote for McCain but I will work for him and donate to his campaign.

The Democratic party cannot take my vote for granted and if they think they can well.... they have another thing coming.

I love you Hillary but you got to GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I have always liked Hillary a lot more than I liked Bill. I never called him the first black president and felt that he got a lot more credit than he deserved. But as much as I love Mrs. Clinton the time has come for her to pack her bags and prepare to become the next Governor of NYC. Barak Obama has won more states, more delegates and more of the popular vote. I know that Hillary felt this was her time but one thing we know there are no sure things in politics especially this year.

I have to be honest I really think if Obama were a seasoned White politician Hillary would have dropped out a long time ago. Mrs. Clinton does not feel that he belongs there because of his youth and his race and Bill Richardson said she feels a sense of entitlement.

But the handwriting is on the wall and she should leave the race with dignity and grace and get behind Obama. She should do it for herself, for the Democratic party and for the country.

Hey Kim where are you?

Hello all

I am right here oberserving all of this foolishness!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes it has been a while since I have posted a comment. Since my last my last post, Obama lost Pennsylvania, gained many super delagats and lost a Pastor. As much as I hate to say this the turn of events have helped Obama. Every since the sermons of Rev. Wright surface the subject of Rev. Wright have held Obama back. Whenever there is an interview with Obama, a debate or analysis the subject always comes up, not his position on education, health care or the war (which is very important to the American people) it is Rev. Wright.

Many people asked why Obama did not denouce Rev. Wright before this time, well honestly it would have been politically suicide. The base of Obama's support is African Americans and the truth is African Americans are very loyal to thier Church and Pastors. We have forgiven our Pastors from everything to Audultry and stealing so a couple of contiversial sermons PLEASE!!!!!!!!! That would have been political suicide for Obama. Rev. Wrights antics at the National Press Club gave Obama an excellent opportunity to denouce Rev. Wright. The speech and question and answer period were not taken out of context and they were not just sound bites. So Mr. Obama did what he had to do. Perhaps this will win him the nominination and perhaps he will win the election. But the truth is Black America lost this week. We watched a black men battle with each other in public and in our community that is a "no no". As the Godfather told his older son Santino " Never let anyone outside the family know whta you are thinking.

So here wer are on the verge of making history but in the end we will be broken as a result of it.

Can real people ask the questions in the debates?

Last Wednesday I rushed home leaving a pile of work on my desk to get home to the watch the ABC debate. I greatly admire the moderators of the debate and I was looking forward to an informative exchange between the candidates. Within 40 minutes I have to say I was very disgusted. Instead of questions about health care, education and issues that matter to the American voter, they spent time on lapel pins, Rev. Wright and Bosnia. At the end of the debate each candidates had thirty seconds to address the issue of $4.00 gas prices. ARE U KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!??????????????

If I am not mistaken each candidate has answered each of these questions, what more do they need to say?

If Obama wears a lapel pin does that lower gas prices?

If Hillary lies about Bosnia does that lower my taxes?


I think this problem with these debates is that you have white millionaires asking these questions. Of course they are not concerned about food and gas prices and medicare so why would they ask questions pertaining to them.

These moderators do a dis-service to to the American voter when the real issues are not talked about.

I hope in the general election ABC and the other networks will talk heed and take be the real voice of the people.
