Hillary /Bush Live in the same state of denial
In some ways I wish that Hillary would just go away. It is becoming abundantly clear that she lives in the same state of denial that President Bush lives. Bush has never been able to admit that the Iraq war was a mistake and that there never were any weapons of mass destruction. Hillary cannot admit that Obama has won the nomination in the hearts and minds of the Democratic party and in some of the Republicans. He is the right person for this time.
The way she is digging in her heels and fighting away is another sign of how she would handle certain issues if she were President, which is obviously not a good sign. Okay, she won Pennsylvania, but one state does not an election make. I have no doubt that she is incredibly capable and intelligent. But we don't need a street fighter as President at this particular juncture. We don't need a person in office with the attitude, I would use the cartoon character Mutley, the dog, who was always muttering rickam frazzim as he was constantly frustrated in his attempts to get the cat, I see Hillary saying to herself," I am going to get this nomination if it kills me" with her eye on the nomination as the prize. If only she could take the high road like John Edwards and bow out gracefully. But I don't think it is in Hillary's DNA to do things gracefully.
With the world we live in, with the U.S. possibly at it's eclipse as an economic power we do not need a street fighter as President. We need someone who is a conciliator, who can mend all the broken relationships we have across the world and who can unify the country rather than tearing it apart. Hillary's failure to take the high road could potentially tear the Democratic party apart, her boxing gloves are probably put to good use in the Senate but we do not need them in the White House.
