Comments on: Chelsea Clinton to campaign in Puerto Rico http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/12/chelsea-clinton-to-campaign-in-puerto-rico/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Trang, Fremont, CA http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/12/chelsea-clinton-to-campaign-in-puerto-rico/#comment-1070820 Trang, Fremont, CA Tue, 13 May 2008 05:50:38 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7079#comment-1070820 What an amazing campaign it has been. Who would have thought Barack Obama, a freshman senator, coming out of nowhere, would beat the Clintons (Hillary and Bill - an ex-president). I know he gave a good speech. Didn't know he can also run a remarkable campaign. I know the first time I heard Obama, I said to God - this is the man - he will turn this country around. I don't ask for much, but when I do ask, He usually granted my wish - and this time, it's no different. It's not the end yet, but the force is with him. Of course, getting Obama to the White House is only half the struggle. We sure need a lot of work to rebuild this country. But Obama is best bet. As in most crisis, a leader will emerge - and this time, it's Obama. He can sense the pain around the country, speak out about it, bring the country together, and we all have together to turn this country around. We have to break the habit of being divisive. We can't afford it. America can't afford it. America is losing ground. This is what Obama understands. This is what Hillary fails to understand and that's why she is losing. She doesn't understand the needs of the time. What an amazing campaign it has been.

At the end of the day we look at the math and that will determine the winner. I don't know what they are going to do about Florida and Michigan. I think it is unfortunate that things turned out the way that it did. If the people of MIchigan should be upset with anybody it should be their political leaders who decided to move the election up inspite of being told of the consequence for doing so. I also think it is ridiculous for Hillary to fight so hard for those delegates when she agreed in the beginning of the primaries (when she was so confident that she would be the nominee) that those votes would not count and at that time she wasn't all that concerned about the people in Florida and Michigan being disenfranchised. But that aside. What I find to be quite amusing is that the people of the United States of America have voted and according to those votes Obama is ahead by all measures and should be the nominee but the Hillary Clinton supporters are saying Yeah all of those people vted for him but they don't count because it is not inline with what we won't. Therefore, in the democratic party we are the ones who matter not all of those folks who voted for Barack Obama. I also think it is quite interesting that throughout the primaries when the race was really tight people kept saying how there were not any major differences in the policies of the two campaines. That there is more difference between Mcain and Hillary or Obama than between HIllary and Obama. Yet the Hillary supporters are saying that they would vote for McCain. That doesn't make much sense to me. Why would you desert the democratic nominee who legitimately won the nomination to support a candidate for the US president whose stance on the most major issues of our time is a complete deviation from where we stand on the issues. Can someone explain that to me. By all means Hillary Clinton has the right to remain in the race. At the end of the day we look at the math and that will determine the winner.

Amazing how clueless some people are about what will happen in November against McCain. See Kerry 2004 against Bush. Add the fact Obama doesn't have the experience, is all talk and no action, and even though this is wrong, people will vote against him simply because he is African American. Who do the Obama supporters think are voting in November? Just one half of the people who voted in the Democratic Primary? Themselves??? Clueless! I refuse to vote for Obama. This is for President of the United States of American, not Student Body President or King of the Prom. Bush screwed up so much. You can't send someone who doesn't have a clue how to fix problems except just talk about "change" as fixing them. Hillary supporters. You have three choices. 1) Write Hillary Clinton as a write in. 2) Don't vote at all 3) Vote for McCain. I will either do 1 or 3. At least I know McCain has integrity and is an honorable person with EXPERIENCE. I don't agree with some of what he has to say, but this is supposed to be the best person for the job. Obama is the worst out of the three. Hillary is the best, McCain second. Come November if Obama is the nominee he will lose.. WATCH. If Hillary doesn't get the nomination, Obama loses in November. Amazing how clueless some people are about what will happen in November against McCain. See Kerry 2004 against Bush. Add the fact Obama doesn't have the experience, is all talk and no action, and even though this is wrong, people will vote against him simply because he is African American. Who do the Obama supporters think are voting in November? Just one half of the people who voted in the Democratic Primary? Themselves??? Clueless! I refuse to vote for Obama. This is for President of the United States of American, not Student Body President or King of the Prom. Bush screwed up so much. You can't send someone who doesn't have a clue how to fix problems except just talk about "change" as fixing them. Hillary supporters. You have three choices.

1) Write Hillary Clinton as a write in.
2) Don't vote at all
3) Vote for McCain.

I will either do 1 or 3. At least I know McCain has integrity and is an honorable person with EXPERIENCE. I don't agree with some of what he has to say, but this is supposed to be the best person for the job. Obama is the worst out of the three. Hillary is the best, McCain second.

There will be huge protests marches when he comes to these two states. When I heard that today, I was insulted. Don't bother coming to either state OBAMA you are not welcome. Obama and his legislative people did their part along with Howard Dean to block the votes from being reheld and from being counted.....no one else did that...OBAMA and DEAN did that...some democracy....So why would OBAMA have the balls to show up and ask for their votes in NOVEMBER....talk about one serious idiot.
