America, what is about to be discussed may be a little unsettling to some readers. Apologies will not be made because this is a valid concern.
We are all aware of Hillary Clinton's recent statement making reference to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, which was one of the greatest tragedies in the history of our great nation. We are aware that the incident occurred 40 years ago, and that it underscored our nation's need to address political violence.
Hillary Clinton claims she used the reference to support her decision to continue her fruitless pursuit of the Democratic Nomination, and many of her advisors stated that America should have taken Clinton's reference to mean nothing more than that. Perhaps they have forgotten how they twisted Barack Obama's statements about guns and religion. Small minds (The Clinton Campaign Staff) are incapable of big thoughts.
Although Hillary wants America to see her RFK reference as something small and insignificant, it is important to point out that the Clinton family has questionable ways of dealing with the people they consider to be adversaries. Consider Peter Paul as a prime example.
Peter Paul was a staunch Clinton supporter. He was the architect behind a massive, star studded fund raiser to help Hillary Clinton win her election to the US Senate. Things went sour in the relationship between the Clintons and Peter Paul, and Peter Paul ended up being arrested in a third world country.
Why is the preceding paragraph important? Simply put, the Clinton's will say and do anything to get what they want. It would not be to far fetched to believe that the Clintons would consider organizing a hit on Barack Obama all for the sake of clearing the path for Hillary to take the White House. After all, why would Hillary make a statement about a politician's demise if she were not considering an action a similar action against her current adversary.
Bottom line is this America, the DNC Convention is less than 3 weeks away, and Hillary wants the White House. Considering the dirty history of the Clintons, it is possible that Hillary may take a "By Any Means Necessary" approach.
There are those who will say that no one can claim to know what Hillary is thinking, but let's look at a few clues from recent speeches:
1. When referring to a Democratic Nominee, Hillary makes the statement of "Whomever SHE may be" thus implying that she is fully expecting to be the Democratic Nominee despite that fact that Barack Obama is beating her in all of the numbers.
2. Hillary makes the openly insensitive reference to the death of Robert F. Kennedy. Not only was the timing poor because of what is going on with Ted Kennedy, but it was a direct indication that Hillary is willing to do anything, including killing her adversary, to get to the White House.
3. The Clintons have a history of unethical tactics when it comes to dealing with people they feel to be enemies.
America, we need to be concerned, extremely concerned. For Hillary Clinton, this election is not really about what our nation needs, it is about Hillary Clinton. Here is a candidate who has overdrawn her campaign funds no less than 5 times since the election began. She has waged racially, and religious attacks again Barack Obama without a foundation in the fact. She has used people like Tavis Smiley to stab Obama in the back and play the role of the only candidate who care about black people, then she in turn make a statement that the non-college educated poor white people in America support her. Now she implies that she is willing to bump off her competition? America, we really need to consider whom we actually vote for.
This is a "Knock Down Drag Out" forum that will test the very limits of the discussions which others are afraid to touch. Politically incorrect and straight to the point.

Let It Go Hillary, Let It Go!
Initially it was cute and entertaining, but now it is downright annoying. It is also an outright embarrassment to the Democratic Party, and to anyone who is a Hillary Clinton supporter.
Here are the facts:
>>> Barack Obama holds the majority of delegates available to the Democratic Party. This includes pledged and super delegates.
>>> Barack Obama, although not winning the "Big States" has won the majority of the states in the contest to date.
>>> Barack Obama still holds the lead in the overall popular vote.
>>> Barack Obama has remained on the surplus side of campaign finances, while Hillary has slipped into the red at least 5 times since the campaign began.
This is not to mention the fact that Barack Obama has run a virtually clean campaign against Hillary Clinton, while she - Hillary - has thrown as much mud as she could at Barack, even going as low as to post a picture of him from a trip to Kenya, and to field the claim that the lesser educated white people in America love her.
Regardless of the fact that not even the remaining super delegates, nor any numbers from Florida or Michigan can help her numerically, Hillary still insists that she can win the nomination.
This is funny, because it seems that her math is way off the mark. I know her college professors are wondering if Hillary is basing her calculations on those Voodoo economics that George Herbert Walker Bush spoke of in 1980?
Bottom line is this America; Hillary is done. She can not mathematically overcome the majority held by Barack Obama, it is not statically possible. I am extremely surprise that Bill Clinton has not told Hillary to hang up her hat. Then again, after the statement Chelsea made comparing her mother to her father, I am beginning to wonder who really wears the pants in the Clinton family.
Once upon a time in America, there was a gentleman named Thomas Payne who wrote a book that was simply titled "Common Sense". At this time in America, it appears that "Common Since" amounts to nothing more than an ant shouting at a football game, as not may people seem to be aware of it. One incredibly practical lady working with me once quoted that "If sense was common, everyone would have it". I must admit she is right, an as such sense must not be common in the Clinton Campaign.
Think about this America. John McCain really does not have to do much over the course of the next few months because Hillary Clinton is doing the dirty work for him. Instead of illustrating solidarity within the Democratic Party, Hillary is turning the race into a personal vendetta. In the eyes of Hillary, no "Black man" is going to be a "White woman" in Clinton's America. The shame in that way of thinking is in the fact that America is trying to heal the black eye it received as a result of racial prejudice. We are in the 21st century, yet Hillary wants to hold the Democratic Party firmly in the middle of the 20th.
It is time to face the facts. Barack Obama is the statistical winner of the Democratic nomination. It is time for Hillary to lay her banner down and support Obama and indeed the entire Democratic Party in the efforts to beat John McCain.

Clinton's Only In It For Hillary
It is a great thing that Bill Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar, for at least he can be the brains of the family. Goodness knows Hillary is proving herself to be a blooming idiot.
Barack Obama scored a major victory in the race for the Democratic nomination by picking up the endorsement of John Edwards. With this endorsement, Obama now has the full support of the 2004 Democratic presidential ticket. Obama is leading in the popular vote, won the most states, has the lead in the Super Delegate count, and indeed the overall delegate count as well. The reality is despite everything the Clinton campaign has thrown at him, Obama is still beating Hillary is every aspect of the race for the nomination. Hillary is being reduced to nothing more than a mere ranting cry baby who just can not seem to understand the word "No".
Hillary has allowed her big mouth to dig her into holes she just can not seem to get herself out of. Even though she retracted her most recent, and unqualified statement, it was all but to late to repair the damage to her campaign. Hillary's racially motivated statement gave the illusion that her main supporters are under educated white men. In other words, it was as if Hillary was more than happy to allow the college educate people to supports Barack Obama; as long as she has her base of middle to high school educated "Good Ole" folk, she is just fine and dandy. Well Yee-Haw to that Hillary.
This is America in the 21st century. Better than 80% of the nation is college educated. Even most of the blue color workers in our present day society have an Associates Degree or equivalent at a minimum. Although the retraction is appreciated, it is also important to note that Hillary may have fired the torpedo that will sink her own ship.
John Edwards endorsing Barack Obama should have sent a clear and concise message to Hillary Clinton, that message being that the Democratic Party is tired of her childish game and is ready to move on to the bigger fish. The longer the democratic nomination exercise drags out, the more distracted the party will become, and the easier it will be for the GOP to pick the DNC apart in November.
In fairness, I applaud Hillary because she is a woman of conviction; however, in this case, conviction is bordering on ignorance. Unfortunately, the DNC can not afford to deal with ignorance within the party's ranks. What is being accomplished? Honestly, what is there to gain? Division is not the key, unity is.
At this point, there is no shame in throwing in the towel and putting in a bid for either Vice President or an upper level cabinet position such as Secretary of State.The President calls the shots, which is true; however, with the exception of George W. Bush, the President does not make a decision with out seeking the counsel of trusted member within the cabinet. Bush simply does not play well with others, and probably wished he'd been an only child.
Bottom line is this America, Hillary waged an awesome battle. She is a valuable asset to this great nation of our's, and she will continue to be. There is, and will always be a place for her in the leadership of this country, but we must do what makes common sense at this moment. The majority of the Democratic power brokers are backing Barack Obama, so let's do what is right for the party and set our sites on the real target. The DNC should be arming itself to shoot down John McCain. Send him home to Arizona where he belongs.

Hillary Plays The Race Card
As if we did not know something like this was coming. Hillary Clinton showed her true color by making a broad based racially motivated statement against Barack Obama.
Ok America, the kid gloves are coming off. I was trying to be as nice as possible to the former First Lady, but it is hard to remain objective when dealing with an undercover White Supremacist.
Hillary has been trailing Barack Obama in the race for the nomination for the past 3 months. Indeed the last real lead Hillary Clinton enjoyed was just before Super Tuesday, the real Super Tuesday. Since that time, she has been playing catch up, and has not been doing a good job of it. She mismanaged her campaign funds not once, not twice, but three times. Let's be real, if she can not manage her campaign funds, what makes her think she can manage the fiscal budget of our nation?
Barack Obama whips Hillary in North Carolina, and hangs in close to her in Indiana, and now Hillary is faced with a 160 plus deficit in delegates. Instead of bowing out gracefully, she goes to her closet, pulls out her KKK robe and makes the declaration that White People Love Her. What kind of Mayberry RFD back woods Gomer Pile crap is that?
America has a problem with racism, and here we have a Presidential candidate that makes a racist statement? Why don't we just elect David Duke, as it would be the same difference.
Forget about the fact that Barack's strongest supporters are middle class white American men. Forget about the fact that is was middle class white men who voted for Barack Obama in South Carolina, Wisconsin, and several other key states. As Hillary Clinton sees it, those people were supposed to vote for her. Why is that? Is it because Hillary is White? Or is it because she feels patriotic in a white tee shirt and blue jeans?
Bottom line is this America, if our nation is going to continue to lead in the future, we must, as a nation, kill this beast we know as racism. Hillary Clinton should be ashamed of herself, and Bill should be looking for a way to dump her, because Hillary is bad for Bill's image. Wait a minute, I forgot, there is a rumor, that Bill allowed a choice word to slip is South Carolina. Heck, perhaps he and Hillary are made for one another.
Hillary's best bet now is the shut her mouth and pray that Barack Obama will offer her the Vice Presidency. If that is not good enough for her, then too bad.

Is Hillary Clinton Hurting The Democratic Party?
Hello America, I know it has been a while since my last post, but I am back. Over the course of the last few weeks, I have been doing what many of you have, following the election coverage. I must admit that I am far from elated at this point.
The Republicans have settled down in their nest for now. Like him or hate him, The GOP have their man identified and have moved on to the task of preparing their ammunition for the Democratic nominee, whom ever that may be.
Unfortunately, The Democrats are still tugging at the bitter ends of the rope.
As of 10:00pm on May 8, 2008 Barack Obama is holding onto a 161 delegate lead over Hillary Clinton, and has closed the Super Delegate gap to within six (Hillary has six more Super Delegates than Barack Obama). Regardless, Barack maintains a sizable overall lead in delegates.
Barack also controls the number of states won, and the popular vote. This is not to mention the fact that regardless of the obstacles that faced him along the way, Barack Obama has won over several Clinton supporters, including people who once worked for Bill Clinton.
Faced with an insurmountable hill to climb, Hillary has vowed to stay in the race to the bitter end, much as Ted Kennedy did when running against Jimmy Carter in 1980. The problem is this: Hillary is no Ted Kennedy, and this is not 1980.
In fairness to the former First Lady, Hillary Clinton has presented several valid arguments for her desire to stay in the fight. Hillary stand firm on her position about universal health care (Aetna, United, Blue Cross, watch out), which is something our nation needs;however, it is also the same argument fielded by Barack Obama and John McCain. Hillary took a stand against the high price of gas, and for improving the education of America's minority youth, which also are needed in our nation.
Still, regardless of how good her intentions may be, Hillary has began to come across as a whining prep school brat who always got her way as a child. Her interviews are full of negative rhetoric about Barack Obama, regardless of whether the interview has anything at all to do with politics. It is almost as if Barbara Walters asks Hillary "What color is the sky?" to which Hillary responds "My opponent is not black enough".
Bottom line is this America, Hillary is not in the race because she thinks she can beat Barack Obama, she is in the race because her pride is hurt. In her mind she is a Clinton, and she feels that name should be all America needs. After all, America loved Bill Clinton, especially the black community because Bill was "down" with the people. Or, so we used to think before he dozed off during Martin Luther King III's speech, and the Freudian Slip he allowed in South Carolina. The All Seeing Owl can not confirm the Freudian Slip, but we are searching for a transcript that reveals whether it actually occurred or not. On any account, Hillary feels that if the nation fell in love with Bill, why not fall in love with her? Again, Hillary is no Bill, and this is not 1993.
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins that Miss Pandora let free when she opened that box. Because of pride, Hillary Clinton is unwilling to back out of the race, thereby making herself willing to fuel the war machine of the GOP. In my humble opinion, no, wait a minute, forget humble. I am going to tell it like it is. There would be no shame in Hillary backing out and approaching Barack Obama with the offer to be Vice President. It will show solidarity in the Democratic Party, and will create a ticket that will blow John McCain out of the water, much like he was shot out of the sky in Vietnam. They may not like each other now, but an Obama/Clinton ticket will ensure better than 95% Democratic voter turn out in November. Still, the choice is Hillary's. She can either play the good sport and help the Democratic Party, or continue to be the excess load that sinks the ship.
