Billy-Boy's Penitence

Hill and Bill over her prospective appointment as U.S. Secretary of State


I’ve been playin’ second fiddle to your ego, your interests and your women for over thirty years! Now......make no mistake about it, Billy Boy.....this is my time and you ain’t going to screw it up!

Baby, I know you’ve sacrificed a lot for me and this country and I’m truly indebted to you for what you’ve done. I stand here, today, and pledge to you that I will continue to do all I can to make your dreams come true.

Oh, Bill! Cut the crap. Just keep your zipper up and your mouth shut!

Uh?

Hillary

As I mature, I find myself making a larger effort in seeing multiple sides of pressing issues of the day. And so goes my thinking on ardent Hillary Clinton supporters, tonight.

Her passionate supporters are no different than the Obama supporters. Let’s be honest: the country for the first time in history had the opportunity to see either a woman or a black man become an American presidential nominee. These two people represent groups whom have been beat down and kept down under an oppressive white patriarchal society have finally been lifted to, possibly, lead the free world!

There was much sacrifice and emotions spent in seeing the first African American or women in the highest political office in the land and I respect the lost that Hillary’s supporters are feeling, right now. I thought Hillary delivered the best speech I have ever heard her give, to begin the healing, to bring these passionate groups together and support Barack Obama as our presidential nominee.

Hillary’s speech, like Michelle’s last night, did what it was suppose to do. The senator from New York implored her followers to understand that it is not about her or Barack. It is about making good health care a right and not a privilege. It’s about not borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Saudis. It’s about improving life for the least of us. It’s about ending the war in the middle-east responsibly. It’s about putting a Democrat back in office and that Democrat is Barack Obama!

Tonight, I’m not interested in what took place in private backroom meetings. I’m only concern with seeing this party break camp this weekend, united and stronger in order to defeat the on slough of Republican divisive campaigns that I know are coming. And tonight, Hillary did her part to insure our defense.

What the hell does Hillary take the O-Man to be?

.........better yet, what is she saying about the Mississippi electorate by offering him the V.P.? Maybe she doesn’t think that the “ol’ backward and uneducated folks” down there don’t realize that she is trailing the O-Man and, just maybe, her campaign can trick them tomorrow into voting for her. Well, doesn’t that just beat all?

Girlfriend is crossing the line, here.

Her campaign is insulting the intelligence of the electorate and denigrating the O-Man’s candidacy. We all know how dirty and low-down politics can be and we should not be surprised by what comes out of these campaigns. I liken political campaigns to war. In war you have battles and skirmishes. You have spies and secret weapons. I understand all of that. But, the need to come together as a party and as a nation after the war has been fought makes it even more difficult after all of the underhanded and disrespectful things that have been said and done.

You know, you read about all of the physical violence throughout the world that takes place over political elections, or lack thereof. I can begin to understand how such things happen. Today, we have the first black man and the first woman who have a serious shot at becoming President of the United States and the stakes and emotions are very high. As an O-Man supporter, I feel every slight, every criticism, every punch, every stab and every threat that comes his way because he is the future of this world and he is my president. I have never been this passionate about any candidacy as I am now. And when I think that we have eight more months of this emotional roller-coaster to ride, I am going to have to just take a chill pill and be still.

I think the DNC needs to have a serious “sit-down” and discuss the various outcome scenarios of this presidential race. If left to its own devices, we may be facing a train wreck. With this country at war with an enemy that it doesn’t have a clue as to how to handle, the economic state and the rise of China on the international arena and other nuclear-armed countries….the balance of world power will be altered.
