Comments on: Clinton: Still no congratulations for Obama http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/12/clinton-still-no-congratulations-for-obama/ All politics, all the time Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:47:06 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Carl Fraizer, Mountain Home Idaho http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/12/clinton-still-no-congratulations-for-obama/#comment-535935 Carl Fraizer, Mountain Home Idaho Wed, 13 Feb 2008 20:04:18 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/12/clinton-still-no-congratulations-for-obama/#comment-535935 Will it not be ironic, if George Bush causes the election of the first non-white president in the history of this country, due to his failed presidency? Considering he has made of mess of everything he has ever touched, it woud be the first success of his adult life. Karl Rove will drop dead after realizing his complicity in putting a black man in the White House. As far as I can see, Hillary has lost this battle. Unless see cries again and pulls out the sympathy vote, she's done. For those people screaming about sexism and unfair media coverage causing her downfall, what would have happened to Obama if he had cried after losing any of the primaries? He would already be back in Illinois looking for a new job. That's a double standard, folks. Funny thing is, I was going to vote for her before Bill Clinton went on the attack. Now, as she appears ungracious in defeat, I will not vote at all if she gets the nomination. Those are the facts, as I see them.

His words that were spoken in Madison should, if we were listening, drive home the point of why CNN, MSNBC and all the rest of the "no-sayers" can't get a grasp on what is happening with this "OBAMAMANIA". It is very easy to understand, especially if you are one of those that understand God's human nature of us. One day in the past there were 12 plus Jesus having a simple discussion on the well-being (human nature) man. When asked what are the greatest commandments. He stated that tere are only 2, 'HAVE NO OTHER FATHER BUT MY FATHER' AND 'LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THY SELF'. The shame of politics in this supposely God fearing country is that it has gotten us away from our neighbors. We suppose, according to politics, to look at this "OBAMAMANIC" with the eyes of experience of the "CLINTON THEORY" of being a good neighbor on "DAY ONE". On this "DAY ONE", when past experience ( Iraq, NAFTA, Katrina, White papers, tax files, Monacia and fairy-tales) equates into being a good neighor. All Mr. Obama is trying to say is neighor lifing up neighbor. In other words, experience tells me, as he tells us, 'UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED, WE FALL' --- 'THAT IS THE ONLY POLITICS OF THE FUTURE' --- 'EITHER WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN AMERICA FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE' or it is going to be politics as usual. IT IS OUR CHOICE FOR ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Rev.

Will Obama beat Clinton? I don't know but the Giants beat the Patriots so anything is possible. Obama sure is building momentum and whenever I watch campaign coverage it all seems positive for Obama and neg for Clinton. Is that fair? I don't know. But it is noticable.

It would be rude for the losing opponent to not congratulate them maybe after they won the nomination. Who cares? I find it funny how everyone is jumping on the Hate Hillary bandwagon. Obama has said "change" how many hundreds of times in his speeches? Haven't they been doing that since the beginning of democracy? What's so different about this time? Seeing is believing and until whomever becomes President fixes our national woes before reaching out to other countries, it's just another "same scene different cast" to me.

It's YOUR money people, wake up! How do you vote for people to promise to raise your taxes. We already pay "our fair share". Look at your check stubs! Obama- the great speaker who says absolutely nothing but "Change". Look at political history this century, how many candidates use that same old line. "A new direction", "Change", etc...all of the use it. John McCain is a democrat with an R next to his name. George Bush ruined the GOP and I'm disgusted with all of them.

You sound like a bunch of schoolkids. Why don't you sit down and think carefully about what those actions would mean. Didn't you hear his speech last night.............fear, fear, fear. If McCain wins the nightmare will continue. He has already said that the war will most probably last for at least 50 yrs... is that what you want for our soldiers? He has already said that he doesn't know much about economics..... is that what you want for your wallet? Tax cuts for the rich will continue, jobs will continue to be shipped abroad, our soldiers will have to continue fighting, and what for? So Hilary supporters can stick it to Barack.

And, for the record, I support neither of these two candidtate. I would have voted for Newt Gingrich if he would have run. But, I wanted to investigate the claim and set the record straight.

Obama's gonna win the nomination, and then what?... The Republicans are gonna kick his butt sooooo hard. I don' t know why everyone's so hard on Hillary. Atleast she's been trying to do something for this country since she was fresh out of college. She's been about "Change" for 35 years... Now she has a chance to really have an impact, and all people can see is that she voted for the war, and is too driven. I would like to see what any of you would've done when it was time to vote for the war, given the information that our President laid before us. I think that she knows that when you have a problem, you problem solve, not be stubborn and dig yourself into a deeper whole!!! I'm sorry, but she's probably our(democrats) best chance at winning the presidency. There is no empty rhetoric with her. Think TELEVAGELIST, next time you listen to Obama.
