politically speaking

This will likely be my only political blog until after they pick the democratic nominee so here it goes

First off some stuff is bothering me from reading comments on other sites like the Huff Post and Daily Kos and even CNN when they're discussing Obama and Clinton. Why is it that some clinton supports will not support barack because of his extreme supporters and vice versa and would rather vote republican?? What does his supporters and vice versa have to do with either candidate's positions on improving the economy....ending the war in iraq......improving our reputation with the rest of the world.....let me back track and through out there who I support and that is Obama.....

I think he is the right person for the job. I am more impressed by how he has ran his capaign compared to Clinton who has just turned desparate and nasty. I was the biggest supporter of Bill Clinton (though I was like 10 or 11 the first time he ran) though had no opinion either way of Hillary. Once his two terms were up thats when I took notice of her and became not necessarily a fan but I thought nothing but nice thoughts about her.

Then comes this campaign and her arrogance that turned into this retarded sense of entitlement that I have no idea why she has it. She was first lady not a member of his cabinet, why do you deserve to be president off that??

Ok she is a senator in her is it 6th year? Ok run off that, not what you did as first lady because you held no governmental position. Even being senator does not give you the right to be president, you have to work for it and prove yourself worthy like everyone else who throws their name in the hat.

Then the Bill Richardson he owed me his endorsment crap. He worked for BILL CLINTON not Hillary. He doesn't owe Hillary a thing. He could have done Bill a favor and endorsed his wife but it would be a catch 22, he would get called out for endorsing Clinton based on the fact that B Clinton helped jump start his political career or he would get called "Judas" as Carville referred to him for going with Barack. I believe every word that he said that he decided on Obama when the Clinton campaign became ovetly negative. I was disgusted myself so I can only imagine what kind of inside information he has on the Clintons.

Something else that bothers me is the recent flack Obama is getting over his bitter comments. He was asked a question and he answered it bottom line. He didn't lie, nothing was made up, he gave his opinion on what he encountered campaigning in Pennsylvania. Its amazing to me how the Mass Media has just continued to try and successfully try at that to shape this election. They have manufactured it from the time the last person said they wanted in. Every opinion and debate, every thought put out and then reiterated by the people have come straight from Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, WaPo, etc. I'll start listening to the opposition when they stop using the talking points from Fox News.

Well thats all I have for now. I know it was brief and I wanted to go deeper but I'm a little sleepy and its starting to go off topic and it will turn into rambling if I don't stop now.

Til Next Time!
