We are seeing the "politics of hope" in action, its not perfect but its real and WHAT WE NEED
Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 08:11 AM by wndycty
The Clinton camp wants to stoke the "bitter" controversy and call Obama "elitist" in an effort to win this election and for many of us that is very telling.

HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT AMERICA, HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, HILLARY CLINTON ONLY CARES ABOUT HERSELF AND HER AMBITION, HILLARY CLINTON HAS NO CORE VALUES, SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHE STANDS FOR!

Really think for a second about what Obama said in San Francisco, he was not putting down folks from small towns, he was trying to understand and help others understand why things are the way they are. Why would he do that? Maybe its because he is looking for solutions, he is encouraging others to seek solutions. Maybe its because he is a leader who is interested in moving this country forward.

HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT AMERICA, HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, HILLARY CLINTON ONLY CARES ABOUT HERSELF AND HER AMBITION, HILLARY CLINTON HAS NO CORE VALUES, SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHE STANDS FOR!

Now look at Hillary's reaction. She hears this and what does she do? She does not really address what he said or the underlying problem he was trying to deal with, rather she exploits it. While the American people need leadership and someone to bring us together, and seek solutions Hillary exploits it. She calls attention to it not so that we can discuss was said, she calls attention to it and tells folks they need to be offended, tells folks they need to be pisses off. Why would she do this? To help the country, to offer solutions? No, to win an election.

HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT AMERICA, HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, HILLARY CLINTON ONLY CARES ABOUT HERSELF AND HER AMBITION, HILLARY CLINTON HAS NO CORE VALUES, SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHE STANDS FOR!

Now Obama is in a pickle, he is being roundly criticized, Hillary and McCain are tag teaming on this issue and the media is giving them a platform to, but what does he do? Does he criticize the "blogger" who taped his private speech (which I feel he would be justified to do)? Does he deny he said it? Does he say it was taken out of context? Does he dodge? Does he duck? NO! He apologizes for the one he addressed the issue, YET he does not apologize for raising it and he actually addresses the issue.

I will say it again:

HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT AMERICA, HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, HILLARY CLINTON ONLY CARES ABOUT HERSELF AND HER AMBITION, HILLARY CLINTON HAS NO CORE VALUES, SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHE STANDS FOR!

With Obama we are seeing the true POLITICS OF HOPE which is all about moving this country forward.
