Note this passage in a story in the LA Times today, “Clinton asks her fans to unite for Obama”:
“‘We started on two separate paths, but we’re on one journey now,’ Clinton told a few hundred supporters as an Obama banner behind her touted, ‘Change We Can Believe In.’
“McCain and President Bush, Clinton said, are ‘like two sides of the same coin, and that doesn’t amount to a whole lot of change.’
“Clinton’s 20-minute speech capped a week of acrimony over the role her supporters will play at this month’s Democratic National Convention, where both the New York senator and her husband, former President Clinton, are scheduled to speak.
“Sen. Clinton suggested in a video posted on YouTube that letting her backers cheer for her might prove ‘cathartic,’ though some worry that it will showcase a Democratic Party divided.”
Well, d’oh! It is divided. I think this is going to be quite a convention…
I have every intention of exercising my right to write-in Hilary Clinton on my ballot in November. I can not support the lack of experience and the arrogance of Obama. He tells us nothing; he has no real platform that I can distinguish, he shares no details of any of his plans. I have watched the president for the last eight years stumble and bumble every speech he’s made, make mistakes, think he knows what’s best for us even after we tell him what we want/don’t want. I can’t take another four years of our president saying uh uh uh and looking at the sky and saying uh uh… Yes, he’s smart, dashing, a family man. I don’t care what color he is – I do not think he is ready to be the president of the United States of America.
