I love Obama. I will be unapologetic about it. I believe he is a visionary and inspirational leader that can take our country down roads they would be un-willing to go.
Having said that, I also know Hillary Clinton is an excellent Senator, she has been at the forefront of many important issues, particularly drug safety.
So I am having a hard time with her current campaign, which is Sherman-like in it's intensity and resolve.
I thought she had become a "great" Senator, in fact, a much better Senator than Obama. But her ambition to be President scares me, because she is not only changing her tune and focus, she's also changing the landscape of the Democratic party. The Democrats used to be about all races, all people, all incomes, all situations. Now, apparently, there is a white faction to the Democratic Party that will not support an African-American nominee.
Bill Clinton, in his best moment, would shame these people into submission. In his worst moment, as a shill for his wife, he will foment this division and do whatever he can to elect John McCain as our next President, so his wife can take him down in 2012.
I have few problems with McCain, other than his stubborn Iraq policy. I am glad conservatives have to eat their own puke with that guy. But I certainly believe that an Obama Presidency will take us so far further down the road we need to take. Clinton's obstinence is almost striking me as unpatriotic, and, in the end, could make me hate her.
I don't hate her yet, the end game hasn't happened yet. But keep the shit up, sister, and i will never support you for anything as long as you live.
