Clinton Supporters will not support Obama
Former Senator Hillary Clinton supporters know that Senator Barack Obama’s word means nothing. Americans also know that Obama’s position on any topic of importance changes faster than any other politician that has earned him the name, “Both Ways” Obama. Today my wife and I like thousands of Boston based Senator Clinton supporters received an invitation to meet Hillary during a debt reconciliation gathering.
Many diehard Hillary supporters like my wife and I declined for two reasons. First, Senator Obama publicly stated that he would help Senator Clinton raise money so that she could settle her $20 million debt and then reneged. Secondly, my wife and I do not want to hear from Hillary say anything about Senator Obama solely because Senator Clinton is a diehard Democrat.
In the future my wife and I will support Senator Clinton but for now if she supports a fellow Democrat whose word means little, then she can pay her debts without our help. I am sure that many other Hillary supporters feel the same as we do. Finally, since the Democratic National Committee (DNC) that disrespected Senator Clinton so that their star candidate would win, I do not understand how a politician as Senator Clinton would continue to support the DNC and Senator Obama.

Lets get one thing straight, the media and the DNC elected Sen. Barack Obama. When the truth was delayed in the media until the end of the primaries, the media made sure that Sen. Hillary Clinton did not have any chance of winning.

Obama has never visited a war zone
The media continues to make a big deal about Sen. Hillary Clinton and her comments pertaining to Bosnia. Unlike Sen. Clinton, her opponent, the Senator from Illinois has yet to visit any war zone. Having protected President and Mrs. Clinton and President and Mrs. Bush in foreign countries, I know what the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) would brief any civilian visitor. I am sure that Sen. Clinton recalls what she was told by the USSS or her military escorts that most likely briefed her “she had to be aware of snipers”. I am sure that the same USSS or military advisors briefed her that if attacked by snipers, she would have to stay low and run to the nearest bunker or vehicle as she recalls. As an officer that lived in all three war zones that is what I regularly briefed civilian visitors. I am convinced that this is why she recalls the event the way she did. The regular video shows that she has been in a war zone thanks to the media.
No one is safe in a war zone. Having served in the Balkans (i.e., Bosnia), Iraq and Afghanistan I can assure all Americans that snipers can kill you from afar. Ask the families of thousands of American soldiers that have died from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). IEDs are deployed from afar and like snipers, both are deadly. The Senator from Illinois would rather talk about anyone that goes to a war zone than put his words into action. As a soldier my hats are off to Sen. Clinton. As for any media comparing this event to the Senator from Illinois pastor’s behavior, I find this repulsive and totally unethical. But then the American news media is known for attacking Sen. Hillary Clinton. Americans should not forget the so-called sound bites were against America and yet the Senator from Illinois is defending his pastor as he would an uncle. Even recently, Sen. John McCain has been reminded that he misspoke in Iraq.

White men views do not represent American views.
I don’t believe that Sen. Clinton’s ability to win has been overblown by the media. The true is that the anti-Clinton media has not been fair and mostly reports pro-Obama propaganda.
The news media continues to report that all American men understands the Senator from Illinois and feel compassion for his hard life. As one that started working in a copper mine and as a young man saw a second coworker die in the workplace, this event led to my decision to join the U.S. Air Force. As one that worked through the ranks as an enlisted airman and retire as a Lt Col, I know what it takes to get ahead through hard work and getting an education. As an Hispanic American that was never given special treatment but saw Black coworkers given higher promotion rates although they were less qualified, I understand how White Americans feel about affirmative action programs. I too was a victim and had to work twice as hard to get promotion that were so easly given to Black or White employees. I also saw many White Americans work equaly as hard as I did because they came from an unpreviledged backgrounds. But through it all we all united for America and freedom.
Now the extremely well financed Senator from Illinois is getting over 50% of all his donations from unknown contributors of $1,000 (CNN) and not the small contributors with $25-50 donations as he Senator stated. This politician so easily says one lie after another. In my world, someone that does not tell the truth is called a “liar”. In my world, if I lie in my workplace I would lose my employment. Once again it shows this Senator is unable to unite America. The Senator from Illinois is inexperience, unknowledgable and imature for those of us that work from pay-check to pay-check. For those that live from pay-check to pay-check, the Senator from Illinois choses to forget what the average American has to live through to get from one day to another. The Senator from Illinois tells so many lies that one does not know what to believe. This shows why he is not ready to be president. I would think it would be fun to sit with Sen. Clinton over a beer or glass of wine than with Sen. Obama.

I love this stuff. Especially the oft used reference to Obama and Latte drinkers. Are you referring to those latte drinking Teamsters, whose union supported Senator Obama?
Mark Penn called Bill Richarson’s endorsement of Obama “insignificant.” Probably wouldn’t be saying the same thing if Richardson had endorsed Senator Clinton. He would have heralded the endorsement as a “watershed, a defining moment for this campaign.”
Also wonder how many blue collar working folks realize that Senator Clinton once sat on the board of directors of that notoriously worker friendly company Wal-Mart. Think a few votes might shift?
Well that’s enough. I’ve got to go down to the Starbuck’s close by. I’m having lattes with a couple Teamster buddies

Where are her tax returns? Until those are released this is just wasted breath. And more and more stories are coming out about her fabrications – easily discovered fabrications – so her nose is getting bigger by the day. Obama should relentlessly ask for those tax returns and then we’ll all get to see the connections with rich Saudis. And, please people, read about her connection with this bizarre elitist religious group The Family. My Gawd! I pray she somehow sees the light, leaves this race and let Obama bring some healing to the nation and the WORLD!

Gov. Richardson betrays Hispanics
America now knows that the Super Delegates do not have to vote for the candidate that the majority of his states voters approved. Gov. Richardson proved that he is an un-loyal friend and the Hispanic American culture is appalled by his lack of loyalty. In my view, Gov. Richardson spoke for himself and his support is based on his career aspirations. As a Hispanic American, Hispanics see Gov. Richardson as a traitor. New Mexico voters clearly supported Sen. Hillary Clinton. Like the Senator from Illinois, Gov. Richardson did not win New Mexico presidential primary because like most Hispanic American’s, New Mexico voters voted for Sen. Clinton. If it were not for the Clinton’s, Gov. Richardson whom claimed to be a Clinton friend would have never had the success that he has enjoyed in America. At least the Senator from Illinois stood by his racist friend, no matter what anyone thought. Hispanic voters know what racism in America is first hand. Well before the Pastor Jeremiah Wright CD was released, this is why Hispanic voters will not support the Senator from Illinois because we know that he is a clever racist. Although Gov. Richardson is half Hispanic American, the Governor does not represent Hispanic Americans.

don’t think anyone could explain it as well as Obama , this is the America we live in right at this moment..anger, separation,confusion..fear, frustration. We need an honest voice of truth..Obama is the only one (running for office) not afraid to speak truth..bruises & all. I know that when I vote for president I need someone with a voice to inspire the nation, to help change the attitude of the American people who actually don’t believe that we are one nation under God..The people who would never want to be “one” with anyone else. People who couldn’t unite with even their next door neighbor if he happened to be a different color than himself or a different political party or anyone he just didn’t like,for that matter. We need someone to change that mentality. If you truly listen to what he says..you realize that he is speaking from truth… He understands why people feel this separation..how they arrived at their perception..he is never speaking from only a ‘black “point of view or a “white” point of view..he speaks from a human one..as an observer..open minded, with compassion,without judgement..ready to help talk it out..ready for the blows that may come, steady until it is resolved & until there is change…..isn’t that what we intrinsically need? That’s what we need as children.. isn’t that what we need as a nation.. Isn’t that the man he is? All I know is that I want somebody with that kind of statue to lead the country for my children & make a difference. As for Hillary camp’s latest desparate move to undermine Obama’s integrity & drive a wedge between races….would you ever want to be held liable for someone elses words.. especially when they were venting frustration? Anyone who would let this deter them from voting ,never believed in him anyway so …………..TIME FOR CHANGE ..YES WE CAN , OBAMA is a LIGHT in this DARKNESS that we’re facing ….Let him SHINE!!

With his campaign taking such a drastic nose-dive, why doesn’t Obama have the judgment to fire some of his high-level campaign managers???
