She ain't been able to manage her campaign money, staff or even herself, so give me a break! This was nothing but the typical dull political speech - and I don't remember hearing all her talk about Black issues before, but perhaps I just missed it. *smch* Well Hiliary says she’s ready from day one, but she wasn’t ready for a Black man running against her.

Is anyone else on this blog keeping up with Detroit’s KWAME Kilpatrick…does anyone else care? Do I need to write a post and submit it via email? I think that we should definitely be discussing Kwame on here.

I'm sick of the missionary speeches of how they are going to save us. I can not listen to her in one breath warn the country that electing a young, Black man will be devastating for American then in the next tell us that our interests will be best served by the benevolence and strength of a White woman. <br/><br/>I'm through with being a charity project!

I’m sure Senator Obama would have gotten the same consideration (NOT!) It would have been like facing a firing squad for him.

And the remarks about June “my husband didn’t win the nomination by June” and “we will certainly have a nominee by June” presumes that she will not LOSE soundly in Texas and/or Ohio.

And it was probably made before the news broke that most of her staff would be quitting on March 5 if she doesn’t do well on March 4.

Also:

* I love how she talks as if Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Sheila Jackson Lee represent most black women when upwards of 80% of black women have supported Obama so far (except in New York where it was clear that there was CHEATING in Charlie Rangel’s Harlem district and other mostly black/Latino districts represented by Clinton supporters). Even Michael Bloomberg said that obvious “fraud” was involved.

* Stunning how few audience shots there are. They probably had a hard time because most folks were probably giving her the side eye.
