To those of you who cannot defend Master Obama without crying racism whenever anyone questions his ability to win and/or lead, how about this proposition: Take away color and gender from Obama and Clinton, and then tell me who will win this contest.
One one side, we have a plebian senator with little to no experience, connection with Rezko, connection with terrorists, connection with (now mind you, he is WHITE in this scenario) anti-American anti-Hispanic anti-Italian anti-White church, his wife does NOT like America and white Americans, his voting record is spotty, he appears to have troubles verbalizing when challenged in any way, and a book he wrote is mostly fabricated. His entire platform is one of fluff and slogans, and he has insulted older women (especially white women), Americans facing financial woes, and blue-collar workers. He just outspent the other candidate 3 to 1, but still lost and has yet to win a key state.
On the other side, we have a candidate that brings 35 years of experience to the table (in this scenario, she is a he and he was married to a female American president), he has worked for 30 years to assist middle class Americans, met with over 80 world leaders over this time period, can handle himself well under stress, has a fully outlined and detailed plan to get this country back on track, is not perfect--but who is--and his imperfections have already been tried in the media and we have moved beyond them, the last 6 years has been a highly successful senator and was re-elected by an almost 70% mandate by the state of New York AND has gotten rave reviews from both REPUBLICANS and Democrats alike about how great he is to work with in the Senate. He has won ALL of the key states, including the last one.
Both candidates are white men remember. Who would YOU choose to nominate assuming you want to win? And if you say the first one you win the DUMBEST award.....
If Color and Gender don't matter, and you are voting for the best candidate, Hillary Clinton is the ONLY CHOICE if you are DEMOCRAT.
Hillary is smart and caring. War is the last choice, and she has said this many times. Don't talk spin with me, only real words spoken freely. The media takes every syllable and deconstructs and then recontructs to fit their agenda, and I am aware of this and thus don't play that game.
Hillary Clinton cares about America, Americans, and the world population. That being said, if any country posed a threat to our country and no option remained other than war then--just like any other pro-American President--she would go to war. Hopefully, she will not have to choose the last place option.
Please delineate what I said that mischaracterized either candidate, and why? Rezko is real, Rev. Wright is real, The Weathermen connection is real, google his audacious book and issues therein and many reporters have found over 100 major misquotes and or untruths, it is a fact that he lacks experience AND that he is a plebian senator, so I am sitting here a quiver with excitement waiting for you to show me how wrong I am.
Then answer the question posed by my posting.
Then answer it as if no one was listening.
Then answer it as if God was listening.
Then email me and apologize.
Dear Sir,
Here is one of those pressing real issues I mentioned as of late regarding your man Obama. What do you make of Reverend Wright's statements (according to the AP and in direct quote marks) that Mr. Obama is simply a politician saying what a politician has to in order to get elected when questioned about the inflammatory and racist statements he uttered as preacher of Trinity Church?
A politician who will say and do anything to get elected--and this from his closest friend and MENTOR. While I do not want to share a thing or a thought with Rev. Wright, on this point I will agree. Mr. Obama is just a politican who will say and do anything to get elected--from the mouth of his pastor and mentor.
Waiting for you to respond DIRECTLY to his words and their relation to: Mr. Obama's honesty and Mr. Obama's claim to be a different and honest politician.
