Week of March 30, 2008 - April 5, 2008

huh?


  I have to respond to today's comment. The one you describe as "Fascinating ...", I find it devoid of any logic. Like the part that Obama should "take one for the team". Evidently even if well intentioned the writer doesn't understand the naivety of his/her words. Whether or not Hillary has another chance means absolutely nothing and she is the one who is losing. If anyone should do the right thing it is her, but since her sense of entitlement prevents that instead we see her desire to destroy as much as she can out of rage she no doubt is suffering to keep under public control. And it was very nice of the reader to tell us all that Obama should accept her offer as VP because after all it is " the position he is better qualified for, and it would end a situation that is supposedly hurting the party,". That this writer cant understand that Hillary IS hurting the party speaks to what I find most troubling about her supporters. That being the idea that it is Obama who has campaigned in some underhanded way.   Does anyone really believe that if the results so far were reversed and Hillary had achieved what Obama has, that anyone in the press or the democratic party would be arguing that the nomination wasn't over? Or if Obama had been caught lying about running away from sniper fire and a hail of bullets that his campaign would have been destroyed by such lies?   No, there is a double standard here that Obama has to be perfect . Just the issue of the clergy alone demonstrates it . Where was the week of the Rev.Hagee video insulting the catholic religion and making anti-Semitic statements?   It wasn't there.   Make no mistake that Ifeel Obama is not without faults, but after 8 years of the worse man as president in our history we need someone who will offer everything he is not. Intellect , a desire to negotiate peace , a sensitivity to the average person, etc. He is at this point in time Americas best hope to rise above the divisions that the political parties and the press perpetuate to keep the people at each others throats.   If this chance to elevate this country to a level that gets us beyond those divisions is missed they will never come again. Can anyone contemplate what this country would resemble after 4 years of a McCain war presidency?   The time is now for Obama. He alone offers the chance to set this country back on its path of ideals.
