Say No To Hillary, Vote for Barack Obama!

Friends,

Well here it is, as promised, my commentary on why it is imperative and in the best interest of this country that Hillary Clinton does not win the Democratic nomination for President of the United States of America.

First off, I will tell you that my personal aversion to Mrs. Clinton starts with a simple idea. The concept of Hillary Clinton being elected to this office would result in the continuation of the aristocracy that Kevin Phillips talks about in his book “American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush”. Mr. Phillips, an ardent Republican strategist, argued fervently against George W. Bush before the last election, most notably saying that the idea of the son of a former President being elected is one that would have the founding fathers of this country turning in their graves. This governance of this country by definition is that of a Democracy which was bolstered and given further meaning with the words in Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address as a government “of the people, by the people and for the people”. The original intent of our forefathers, I believe, was for the country NOT to be run by the same people over and over but rather by new people in order to keep the ideals of our Constitution intact and safe from the Aristocracy from which they had fled.

As for the record of Hillary Clinton, I say this: She has no position on healthcare because her sole job in the Clinton administration was to deliver universal healthcare to the people of this country. Not only did she not get it done (not even close) she takes no concrete responsibility for her failure instead, she chooses to blame the mythical beast; partisan forces. The true measure of an effective leader is to be able to overcome these partisan forces, to get the job done and to take responsibility for your OWN part of the failure. By this measure Hillary Clinton comes up far short in terms of leadership.

Mrs. Clinton also voted FOR Bush’s Iraq war resolution and now conveniently claims that she didn’t know or was mislead by the Bush administration. The simple fact of the matter is that Hillary Clinton voted FOR the resolution for political purposes. This particular point is one that I will not let her get away with. The idea that in order to be a good American Senator, she had to vote FOR the proposal because of the evidence presented is preposterous. The fact of the matter is this: I watched Colin Powell sit before the United Nations General Assembly and tell them that it would be a complete disaster to de-stabilize Iraq two days before he went back and told them about the now famous “aluminum tubes”. It was this moment that led to Mr. Powell angrily leaving the Bush administration and anyone who was watching these stories closely in the media could see that it was obvious that we were being sold a bill of goods. Either way you slice it- Hillary Clinton was duped or Hillary Clinton was not paying enough attention- Hilary Clinton should not be responsible for leading our country. The entire Democratic wing of the government, of which Hillary Clinton was a very high profile part, let the American people and Democratic voters down terribly. At this crucial point in our history there was No One but Dennis Kucinich who had their eye on the ball and had a voice of opposition.

Finally, the other day when our media made a big stink over the “snub photo” during Dubya’s last State of the Union address it was obvious that there was nothing to the story. Our media was attempting to create a story where there wasn’t one. The next day I watched Hillary interviewed on one of the major News networks and she attempted to infer that she felt snubbed. It was obvious that she was trying to gain advantage by perpetuating this nonsense. It was at best smarmy, it was devious and it was low minded. These are not the characteristics of someone who should be leading the greatest country on earth.

I urge all of you to go out today and vote for Senator Barack Obama and take this Country back for the people.
