Original article: Barack Obama's epic win

Mrs. Clinton's shameful acts

(Joan Walsh: Please note I did not take the liberty of calling her by her first name.) Hillary Clinton obviously has lost the abillity to experience shame, as well as the ability to perceive objective truth, the right to call herself a Democrat, and the "right" to respectful treatment. She deliberately directed her campaign to the racial bias and prejudice of voters. Her campaign strategy was unsuccessful; so, she twisted the facts underlying the Michigan and Florida vote results in order to lay claim to a popular vote victory. Her claim that she is the only voice of those who voted for her is insulting. Those who voted for her were voting for a DEMOCRAT to be a presidential candidate. If Obama is so weak that he cannot withstand the pressure to put Mrs. Clinton on the ticket as his vice president, then I must reevaluate my decision to vote for a DEMOCRAT in November. The Clintons (i.e., both Mr. and Mrs. Clinton) are most closely associated with avarice, greed, lying and a monomaniacal pursuit of their own self-interests. Haven't we had enough of these characteristics in our leaders?
