Obama to Meet the Press

DEBATE! DEBATE!! DEBATE!!!

It's time for everyone to face the truth. Barack Obama has no real chance of winning the national election in November at this time. His crushing defeat in Pennsylvania makes that fact crystal clear. His best, and only real chance of winning in November is on a ticket with Hillary Clinton as her VP.

Hillary Clinton seemed almost somber at her Pennsylvania victory speech. As if part of her was hoping Obama could have proved he had some chance of winning against the republican attack machine, and their unlimited money, and resources.

But it is absolutely essential that the democrats take back the Whitehouse in November. America, and the American people are in a very desperate condition now. And the whole World has been doing all that they can to help keep us propped up.

Hillary Clinton say's that the heat, and decisions in the Whitehouse are much tougher than the ones on the campaign trail. But I think Mr. Obama faces a test of whether he has what it takes to be a commander and chief by facing the difficult facts, and the truth before him. And by doing what is best for the American people by dropping out of the race, and offering his whole hearted assistance to Hillary Clinton to help her take back the Whitehouse for the American people, and the World.

Mr. Obama is a great speaker. And I am confident he can explain to the American people the need, and wisdom of such a personal sacrifice for them. It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out for the American people. She has known for a long time that Mr. Obama can not win this November. You have to remember that the Clinton's have won the Whitehouse twice before. They know what it takes.

If Mr. Obama fails his test of commander and chief we can only hope that Hillary Clinton can continue her heroic fight for the American people. And that she prevails. She will need all the continual support and help we can give her. She may fight like a superhuman. But she is only human.

Sen. Hillary Clinton: "You know, more people have now voted for me than have voted for my opponent. In fact, I now have more votes than anybody has ever had in a primary contest for a nomination. And it's also clear that we've got nine more important contests to go."

Dear Jack, a 9% loss = a crushing defeat? But she was 20% ahead 20 days earlier. You're not really Bill Clinton are you? Obama Macduff dont need to be deputy to Lady Macbeth and her husband.

Jacksmith: Hillary was somber alright because she knew 9% wasn't enough for her. She was somber because her funds were running out and she had to make a desperate plea for more cash. Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out all right but not for the American people .. or even her party but purely for herself. Her refusal to recognise she lost this nomination weeks ago will gift the whitehouse to McCain. To claim she's leading the popular vote takes some nifty accounting and a couple of illegal primaries where in one case hers was the only name on the ticket.

The sort of childish responses that I read from so many Barak supporters really concerns me. In Meet the Press, Obama was asked several times if he would support Hillary if he was nominated. His ego (or his wife), would not allow him to say so. He would not extend himself, as Hillary announced that if he became the nominee. She said to a crowd of thousands that if that were the case: "I would work my heart out for Obama's campaign".

Amid Barack's "eloquent" speaking is revealed a lack of compassion and fair play...a lack of respect for people he does not like, or who he perceives did him wrong, or gets in his way.

He seems to me to be unforgiving, cold,and arrogant. He still cannot answer direct the all important direct question of what he would do in the event the most dire of military threats to America and the world: Iran, Afganistan. Instead, he continues his political rhetoric: pointing naive blanket blame on the cowboy days of Bush, trying to equate Hillary with the mistakes Bush has made.

Hillary has admitted to errors in judgment that she made, when misjudging in support of the invasion of Iraq, 5 years ago. She has admitted her regret in doing so, many times.
We are not in Iraq because of Hillary Clinton, and she will do anything it takes to get us out. I believe that.
Barack smoothly glosses over, diverts, distracts himself and (he thinks) the American people, by evading critical questions that Hillary is not afraid to address head on. And yet she is considered less trustworthy?

In a few years, Barack might be a great leader. Not now. He needs to grow, mature, and get a realistic sense of his abilities for such an important office. He is simply not ready. And he would not win over McCain.

I trust Hillary, more than I have any politician. Barack, dispite what he tries to sell, is a politician...and no diffent from any I have known, except that he is African American. He is not someone that I trust...not because of his race, or gender or his pastor. He exudes a naive honesty void of knowing who he really is, what he really is capable of, or why he has made misjudgments in his past.

I wonder if he has an an agenda not in line with what we need to unify our party or country. If he can't unify our party, how can he unify this country?

Had he said that he would support Hillary if she were the nominee, it would have made a huge difference in my trust and perception of him.
But that was the clincher for me. I was somewhat on the fence, but listening to him this morning, Hillary has my vote, or no vote at all.
