Upsetting the applecart in terms of what people will say about white voters in the Democratic Primary
Is anybody listening
Reality check for all of you caught-up in the Obama rallies and cries of Hope. How is he going to accomplish what he professes? He hasn’t given any real solutions except to say he a change candidate. What does change mean when you offer no real substance?
I’ve been a democrat for as far back as I can remember. We as Dems felt this way with John Kerry in 2004, only to see him become more concerned with bashing Hillary as a surrogate than doing his job.
Obama’s new electoral map seems more wishful thinking than practical. FL, OH and PA and we don’t have 8 years of George W. Bush. Our economy would be stronger and we wouldn’t be in debt from an endless war. How is Obama going to fix this? We don’t know, because it one thing to give speeches to large crowds and another to offer real leadership by way of solutions.
On the message of sexism and racism; yes sexism is still acceptable! The glass ceiling for women still exists. A woman winning the White House is a far greater change than a black male being elected in 2008.
Let’s not pretend that Hillary injected race, when it is our beloved Chris Matthews that first said Hillary won New Hampshire due to the Bradley Effect and had to issue an apology in the following days. I am not a Clinton Supporter, because Barack happens to be black. That is the furthest thing from my mind. I don’t support him because he offers me no real solutions.
This country needs real change not speeches. How can we say, Obama will reach across the isle, when he was a in the senate for 16 months when he decided to run for President. Now let’s talk about one’s personal agenda.
Let’s be honest the reason he is on the brink of winning the nomination isn’t because he is more qualified, he’s not and I’m sure the analyst will agree. It is because he raised more money. Don’t get me wrong, his machine is remarkable and a model for elections to come but the new voters that he is credited with are donating because they have bought into this message of Hope not realizing in the end; Hope without solutions is another lost election.
I hope I am wrong, but the Dems are in trouble come November. We have one candidate that is more than qualified and one candidate that people like more including the media. Let’s hope that the super delegates can stay above the hype of the campaign and do their job and give us a candidate that can win the General Election in November and turn this ailing country around.
