Barack Obama's epic win

The young senator makes history not only in terms of race, while a determined Hillary Clinton delays the inevitable a bit longer.

    PLEASE ! ! !

    Give me a break! Hillary Clinton needs time to decompress? Please! Tell me one "honest" great politician that did what Hillary Clinton did last night. She was as petty as she has ever been, well maybe not as petty as she's EVER been, but petty. She was unprofessional, as well as she always is, concerned more about Hillary Clinton than the Democratic Party or the country as a whole.

    The Clintons broke my heart during this campaign with the racial overtones as well as the comments such as Senator Obama not being a Muslim, "as far as she knew." The Republicans are already playing clips of Hillary saying Senator Obama is not ready to be Commander in Chief. She has done her best to make Senator Obama's campaign for president a failing venture, so she will then say, "See, I told you!" I loved the Clintons with all my heart before this campaign. I have been heart broken to come to the realization that my Republican friends have told me for years, that the Clintons are nothing more than cheap hacks, who have no concerns except for what is best for the Clintons. WOW!

    I don't know if you are naive, or just been in your own little world too long to realize the message that was sent out last night by Hillary to not only her supporters, but the ones on the fence or the ones that don't keep up with politics, and remember the Clintons as I did prior to this race. I hope America wakes up enough to see Hillary Clinton for what she is, just another political hack that is not work the sweat off a foundered race horse's behind. I hope what she did last night will wreck any chance she not only has with the party down the road, but her own political career in New York.

    In the times we live in, with the Cheney energy policy that was drawn up behind closed doors, a war that was started to get back at Sadam Hussien's attempt on W's daddy's life, with the Constitution of the United States used by the Bush's Administration as toilet paper, Hillary Clinton, due to her own agenda and self serving desires, has given the Republicans a head start in what will be the most important election in our history. I have said many times over the last seven years that when the history is written about this era, George W Bush's Administration will be the focal point of when the down fall of this country began. We are repeating what Buchanan's new book about Churchill, Hitler, and that era, as the beginning of the downfall of the British Empire, with the current administration.

    How can you possibly defend what Hillary did last night? PLEASE!
