We'll Remember In November

It appears the General Election has begun. The new presumptive nominee now has his work cut out for him. The media has finally begun to look into Obama's past. Today the Associated Press finally did a little of what they should have done months ago.

It would indeed be a sad day to have an old, tired bureaucrat in the White House, who would undoubtedly give us 4 more years of Bush.

There is no doubt that he is an experience, principled man. But, the definition of insanity says it all: "doing the same thing and expecting different results."

I live overseas and its becoming increasingly difficult to be proud of being an American. We treat countries and individuals now with such arrogance that something I read is now very true: "We are becoming a people who never have to say 'I'm sorry" to anyone for anything!"

Congratulations to both Democratic frontrunners!

Here are the final totals:

POPULAR VOTE (all primaries and caucuses)
Hillary Clinton: 17,785,009
Barack Obama: 17,479,990

PLEDGED DELEGATES
Barack Obama: 1766.5
Hillary Clinton: 1639.5

Do you believe Senator Hillary Clinton should run as an Independent candidate for President?

It has been a hard-fought and sometimes bitter campaign, but Obama is not, one of his senior advisers assured me Tuesday night, going to spend a lot of time in the next few months wooing Clinton supporters whose feelings may be hurting.

“I think there are always immediate feelings of disappointment and anger,” Anita Dunn said. “But in the months ahead, he must appeal not just to the constituency groups who favored her in the primaries, but those he wants in the general election, and that includes independents and Republicans.”

We need Hillary to stay in the race. We can work outside Dem Party boundaries to prressure our elected reps. The 18 million who voted HRC have the power to change our party but more importantly our country.

I have a couple of ideas. We can organize a letter writing campaign to elected reps (esp the ones who went against "the will of the people" in their districts. The other idea is to boycott sponsors - MSNBC and their sexist attacks and CNN who have several Obma supporters among their "political team".

One day after proclaiming Obama the nominee the press decides it is time to ask questions. from the WSJ

"Yet govern how and to what end? This is the Obama Americans don't know. For all of his inspiring rhetoric about bipartisanship, his voting record is among the most partisan in the Senate. His policy agenda is conventionally liberal across the board – more so than Hillary Clinton's, and more so than that of any Democratic nominee since 1968.

"You know, I understand that a lot of people are asking, what does Hillary want? . . . I want the nearly 18 million Americans who voted for me to be respected, to be heard and no longer to be invisible."

The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th - July 1st
2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity
United Church: specifically the Women’s Event.

Michelle Obama appeared as a panelist alongside Mrs. Khadijah Farrakhan and Mrs. James Meeks.

Bill Clinton spoke during the Conference, as did Bill Cosby and other speakers, but not at the panel Michelle attended.

Michelle Obama spoke at the Women’s Event, but referenced Bill
Clinton in her rant — his presence at the conference was the impetus
for her raving, it seems.

A great perspective on yesterday's seating of FL and MI. HRC can now not only claim but cannot be denied that she is popular vote leader.

"
The 50% solution for Florida was disappointing, but not the worst that could happen. They still get added into the total votes needed, Hillary is able to formally count the popular vote there as part of her total, Floridians will support her in the fall and will punish Obama.
