Jack & Jill Politics

I was so annoyed I forgot to say who the “she” is. The guy was talking about Hillary Clinton and tried to give reasons why Hillary did not congratulate Obama at the AIPAC convention when he congratulated her.

I should have said
right now on msnbc some guy is talking to Tamara about “if” Obama is the nominee Hillary will support him and that there are a few more months until the Nov elections and anything can happen. Also that Hillary said she would do whatever it takes to ensure a democrat is wins the election in the fall to include taking the VP spot “if” Obama is the nominee.

thank you all!

thanks for the good company.

when it all started, i thought hillary was an option. she was something like the “good clinton”. not the one who’d stain a blue dress in the oval office, and send missiles to kill innocent poeple when the stain grew bigger.

she was like bill clinton, but not that evil bill. the one who should know better, and do better.

wrong i was.

from her arrogant attitude to her bosnia trip, from the “as far as i know” to the bobby kennedy incident, hillary was nasty. she was disagreeable. she was uttely disgusting.

and all the while another man grew and became the option.

now he’ll be president. mccain is nothing but an empty suit. a man without honor, who had to live through the most distasteful attacks on his family only to still embrace (quite literally, the photos are there) the man who perpetrated those attacks.

a man with little brains, as is evident in each and all of his speeches. not a bad man, but no option at all.

a war hero? a war survivor: it takes so little to go to war, just follow the orders. and it is only a physical feat to survive captivity. this does not endow anyone with political savvy.

such an opponent in a time when oh so many are fed up with the republicans… the result was always clear: a dem will win!

that was sure from the start. i am happy to not have been alone while that price seemed all too many times about to be taken away not by the bushies, but by those false friends called the clintons.

my only hope is now that one day we’ll read in somebody’s memoires how obama erased the debts of hillary’s campaign and -only by money- brings her to where her dignity should have long ago, if it only existed: to go away.

my only worry is still a veep called clinton.

please, don’t! please. it’s nonsense, a dangerous one.

thanks to all who were there to share despair, analysis and, above all, hope.

Well it’s a good thing Joy and Whoopi woke up! From the quick clips that I saw of HRC’s speech ruled out that small percent of a chance that might have been in the back of my mind b/c it was 100% clear that if he let her get away with it (holding the party hostange) one time she would always have the upperhand- he would always be a puppet with her pulling his strings. Delusional and narcissistic – yeah that’s accurate!

I would like to listen is as well…I also want the conversation to move on past the Clintons. And the only thing I’ve heard about Bo Diddley is that he passed away…

Out of all the things to be offended about the press decides it’s about Cheney’s incest joke! I hope the Democrats use that in an ad during the General Election and those people that see race above all else will note how they’re viewed by other whites in the Republican party.

angela,

That sounds like a good team, thus far. I sense is that Caroline is someone he can trust. And Johnson as a former Attorney General will speak to the legalities of vetting.

It is clear to me that Barack knows how to source talent. It’s an invaluable gift. Whereas Hillary said of the numerous economists who opposed her gas tax holiday they “don’t understand it”.

Also, it could be a way to limit the Clinton’s complaining about who is VP. I don’t think Hillary or Bill would publically fight with Caroline Kennedy on the vetting of Obama’s VP.

I’m glad to see Caroline participate and become as involved as she is.

Against race politics,

It is just a guess. I have read that Jack Kennedy is one Bill’s heroes and they were great admirer’s of Jacqueline Kennedy. Hard to imagine they would make any attacks on Caroline Kennedy.

I meant to mention this last night. Hillary’s gathering last night was at Baruch College.

Baruch is the (Hebrew?) root of Barack’s name. It means “blessed”.

Is she trying to be cheeky?

Avid Clinton supporter –

Excerpt:
Senator Clinton’s speech last night was a justifiably proud recitation of her accomplishments over the course of this campaign, but it did not end right. She didn’t do what she should have done. As hard and as painful as it might have been, she should have conceded, congratulated, endorsed and committed to Barack Obama. Therefore the next 48 hours are now as important to the future reputation of Hillary Clinton as the last year and a half have been.

I am disappointed.
