A few months ago, I was, like many others, thinking it may be a Dream Team for the Dems. However, in light of Hillary's comments, especially her innocent remarks mentioning assassination (repeated in March and a few weeks ago - and therefore CLEARLY not so innocent!) Yes, she has something to offer the nation - but she has to find some other way that she can rightfully and FAIRLY EARN (not simply expect or demand).
These were my thoughts on that that I want to share with others & Obama's team:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a classic move … read Shakespeare’s Richard the Second to see how the king (a weak & increasingly pathetic figure) makes a veiled reference to get his main challenger killed … and when he is, the king expresses surprise and remorse!!
As I have been trying to hold on to some kind of respect for Hillary, she is repeatedly demonstrating that ..
NO EVIL MOVE is too low for her. NO SELF-SERVING, power-grabbing desperation is beyond her .. and her spin machine.
Very sad. As with our earlier “choice”, it seems we get the leaders we deserve - UNLESS we send a clear message that we will not take this anymore.
