AMERICA CAN DO BETTER THAN HILLARY AS PRESIDENT. HER LITANY OF UNETHICAL CONDUCT STRETCHES ALL THE WAY BACK TO ARKANSAS. HER SO-CALLED EXPERIENCE IS A FARCE.
===================================================
Amerika can do better than Obama as president. His litany of empty oratory stretches all the way back to Kansas and his white upbringing. His so-called experience is a farce.
We all know what to expect with Hillary, but, we don't know what to expect with Obama. And that is why politicians and the MSM are wary.....
If the dem choose Hillary, they will have a field day because there is so much dirt on her family. She said that she has been vetted... what she meant is that she and her husband had been investigated by the justice department. They are great at burying the evidence. Lawyers are great at bending the truth! More evidence can only be seen in 2012 when their private files will be open for scutiny.
If Obama win the dem primary, the MSM and McCain will be talking about Rezko until they are blue in the face.
They will dig through every votes he made in the senate and distort it for all it is worth and feed it to the public. They will plant false evidence and try to make the public think that he can't be trusted because he has not been VETTED (meaning he has not been investigated by the justice department) yet. Voters will get fed up with all this mudslinging and will still vote for him because we all know how American feel about the underdog.
I think that it is time for a change and I know who I will vote for!
Unofficial Tallies in City Underestimated Obama Vote - NYT -2/16/08
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/16/nyregion/16vote.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slog...
[Black voters are heavily represented in the 94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District. Yet according to the unofficial results from the New York Democratic primary last week, not a single vote in the district was cast for Senator Barack Obama.
That anomaly was not unique. In fact, a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the city’s 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district.] - Excerpt NYT.com
Hillary Clinton is the Junior Senator from the State of New York and her husband has a faux Office in Harlem. They were welcomed by New Yorkers and supported over years by African-Americans. Their superdelegates are getting VERY BUSY and desperate, positioning Hillary Clinton to benefit by a State by State disenfrichisement of voters. A former President is part of this PLAN. Turn the page.
Out of the blue comes a man with an ability to deliver a speech...women cry...men shout hallelujah...the deliverer has come. Wow....everyone has been so busy crucifying Hillary that the ability to give a great speech and that he is a minority is all that is known about Obama. Then when it looks like Obama may be able to pull out a squeaker everyone starts coming out..politicians...movie stars..etc to say they endorse him. This is not the political era of long ago, where everything that a President did (Kennedy was a good example) was kept under wraps. If you want to lead this great country prepare to bare yourself to the world...Americans have the right to know who their President is and who he or she was. Whether you like it or not the Diggers of the world will bring the character flaws of each of the candidates to the surface. If you want to be an informed voter you should welcome it. The truth always finds a way to have its voice heard.
