Use to rules changes
[Read the article: Why Hillary Clinton should be winning]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Black people are use to rule changes. When whites said we were too dumb and uneducated blacks fought to get into schools and get an education. When we go the education whites told us we needed experience. When we got both we get told that the only reason we are in the position is because of affirmative-action. It does not matter what you have accomplished the status quo hate change especially when that change looks like the thing that many hate the most.
When players like Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays started to play baseball whites could not beleive the plays they made. Blacks who had played against them saw plays like that all the time and many said Jackie was just a average player in the black league.
When Bill Russell entered into the NBA the rules were changed so he could not block as many shots. When Wilt entered the NBA the rules changed again because the 3 second rule kept him from dunking everytime he got the ball. When Kareem entered college they stopped the dunk so others could compete.
Well we all know how Tiger has changed the game.
What we have now is the OBama rule. Bill Clinton has said the only way one can compete is to go negative. Obama is playing the game differently and brought in more young people, more money and more voters. But the political refs hate it so they want to change the rules of the game. Obama has played by the rules but Hillary's people hate it so they result to what they know, division Poliitics.
First, they said the only reason Barack is winning because he is black. That was the funniest comment. LOL! When did black become an asset in America. Understand affirmative-action was never for blacks, just like the threes second rule was not meant to help Wilt. Rule changes are to help keep the status.
Secondly, they said Obama is just empty speeches. That is Clinton speak for this man is not smart enough to run the country. His perfomance at Harvard,organizing in Chicago and his ability to win 11 contest in a row are just a result of whites caught up in the concept of voting for a black man. The reason all people went to see Jackie,Tiger,Kareem and Michael was because they made great plays. Whites,blacks and brown folks are with Obama because he is a winner and he is making great decisions.
When what is happening in the present does not work, they try to dig up something in the past. They say he went to a church that is racist. If the first tactic was the funniest, this tactic was the most pathetic.
All one has to do is really look at the ministries and the fruit of the church. The church he attends has ministries that have helped many people go to school, buy homes, get off drugs, clean up their neighborhood, owned their own buiness and take care of the least of these in our society. They have even produced a young man who would run for the office of the President of the United States. That is really unAmerican. LoL!
This church has not produce suicide bombers like Tim McVigh,or bombers who target abortion clinics or advocated voting for whites only. If the congregation was polled I would guess they have voted overwhelmingly for white Democratic politicians like Bill Clinton. How is it then that a 30 second clip has convinced the old guard that the Pastor and the chruch are anti-american and racits. This is old guard politics.
The old guard are living in 90's the only thing is it is 2008. Obama rules!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bill and Hillary got impeached. His last years he could not get anything done. In fact he was forced to stop going after terriorist because ever time he did the GOP was able to tag him with the "wag the dog" brand. The reason the democratic party could not get anything done is because the Clintons lost the majority.
In 1993-94 when Hillary had the power of the President,senate and house she could not get Universal Health care passed. If this is experience we need someone new experiences. What is the old saying insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.
If Hillary is so great how is it that she is behind so far that she needed to "throw the kitcheh sink," at a neophyte,empty suit,racist,anti-american,no solutions and non bowling man named Barack Hussein Obama?

Trecinda, The same people

[Read more letters about this article: Here]who are saying Obama can't beat Hillary are the ones saying he can't beat McCain. It is about the EC and Red State Kansas has thousands of new voters waiting to vote for Barack. I think it is going to come down to his choice of VP. But by all the Hillary supporter standards Obama has to be a great candidate if he is able to beat this strong,smart,engaging wonk called Hillary.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Snipers,woman who did not have insurance and now lobbying for CFT when you are suppose to be against it. One does not have to hate Hillary to argue against her being the nominee.
