Obama

What a difference a couple of months makes! Any acrimony between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama that bubbled up on the campaign trail last spring has apparently evaporated, judging by these clips from Monday morning’s news conference/love-in featuring both senators.

MSNBC:

Part 1: Obama’s introduction (skip to the 4-minute mark for his remarks on Clinton):

Part 2: Here’s Clinton’s speech excerpted from the longer clip above:

Hillary’s ‘brief Statement’ was only exceeded by the REAL pres elects. apparently no one has Told Hillary the American People did NOT elect YOU!
In fact since she is still struggling with her needless campaign debt, you gotta wonder what happened to those supposed 18 Million supporters. Couldn’t come up with a $1.25 each to pay of her fiscal Irresponsiblity (Arrogance).
I am what I know consider One of many ‘Recovered Clintonians’...I was an avid supporter, and defender of the Clitnons througout the ‘90’s- but since Hillary began to ACTUAL Build her OWN Political Resume, I have become an Avid Detractor. Her Senate votes, Her vile Campaign tactics and her blatant adherence to Neo Con ideologies has revealed her long held membership to the ‘good Ol Boys’ club, amnd her Autographed copy of their ‘handbook’. In fact I think she was Promised the Crown during a ‘Hotdog’ Luncheon with W. early in her senate career- since that point I have had No Clue WHO this woman is.
I not only am Pissed about her appointment, I am Terrified…“Obliterate Iran”..Was that the Chorus line for McCains ‘Bomb Bomb bomb Iran’?
What concerns me more is the Fact she is only 2 heartbeats away from the Presidency, and I don’t Trust her. Honestly after watching her antic for th elast several years, this ‘Ol’ clintonian’ is beginning to find credence in the questions surrounding Vince Fosters “Suicide”.She Dared Invoke RFK’s assasination THREE TIMES to expalin why she would not drop out of the Race!! At that Point it becomes a REQUEST!
For all those I aggressively debated throughout the ‘90’s…You were Right, the Clintons are nothing more than self serving Opportunist with NO regard to the duties or respsonsiblities (or ethics) required to hold Public office in ANY capacity.

Politicians…

the only people on earth who can call an opponant’s mother a whore, and then go out for a few drinks together.

Someday people will dropp their hero-worship, and see these folks for what they are;

opportunestic, self centered, barnicles.

I’m waiting for the revolution, preferablly the French variety….hope I live to see it!
