Hillary Clinton and her peeps are lighting the fuse of disaster.
She’s downright derisive of Barack’s experience and leadership,
yet has extended her hand to Obama to be her second in
command, irony not lost on Barack, or the voters.
As Barack gently reminded Mrs. Clinton, he leads with delegates
and popular vote, while winning twice as many states. He
postulated if he was so unqualified, why would Hillary want him
on her ticket, a mere heartbeat away?
Then Hillary’s newly resigned campaign finance “volunteer” and
self admitted unqualified Vice Presidential candidate, Geraldine
Ferraro opined. She claimed Obama took advantage of his race at
the expense of that poor old white woman, Hillary.
Man, I’m confused. Weren’t Republicans supposed to be the evil
racists?
Obama seemed perplexed as well. He snidely reminded the
world of his terrific edge by postulating that the book of running for
the White House proscribed being dark of skin with an
African/Muslim moniker, Barack Hussein Obama. (Quit
whining…get over it! IT’S HIS NAME for G-d’s sake!)
There’s a lot of testosterone in the Clinton
marriage, too bad none of it is Bills
If you think this intentional confusion and infusion of race bothers
the Clintons, there’s a bridge I want to sell you. Don’t think for a
moment this isn’t intentional. I believe what Geraldine said is
what Hillary and Bill believes. Not only that, Ferraro said
essentially the same about Jesse Jackson when he ran for
president, twenty years ago. She must have shared that line with
Bill, who reiterated the theme in South Carolina.
The Clintons deem they can steal the election with made up rules,
arguments, deceits, or back-room deals. They argue that they
triumphed in all the “important” states. Mrs. Clinton claims
Michigan and Florida, primaries Hillary and the rest of the Dem
candidates agreed wouldn’t count because of their misbehavior in
choosing the wrong date. (Now there’s some brilliant political
strategy, but that’s another column.) The Clintons say their
momentum is better than Obama’s.
They belittle Barack as not ready for prime time, advertising
scenes of 3 AM phone calls, implying that Hillary was answering
that phone while she was in the White House as first lady. She
may have a point, having been subject to many wee hour calls
about the whereabouts of her wandering husband.
You don’t have to be a carpenter to
know when things aren’t on the level
What it comes down to is this.
If Barrack Hussein Obama goes to the summer Democratic
Convention with roughly the same lead he has now and has the
nomination stolen from him, we’ll not only see the destruction of
the Democratic Party, (a good thing) but riots in black
neighborhoods of America. (A bad thing) It’ll make the ’68 Dem
Convention riot in Chicago look like a Girl Scout Jamboree in
Grant Park.
And for what?
The transparent narcissism of the most power-grubbing people in
the universe, Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Why, I feel like breaking out in song (again). This to the tune of
Summer in the City, by the Lovin’ Spoonful.
A one, a two, a three, everybody HIT IT!
Hot town, summer in the city, back door deals gettin’ dirty and
gritty
Voted down, isn’t it a pity, can’t seem to find a delegate that’s
shifty
All around people feelin’ real teed, walking the ‘hood gettin’ hot
at Hill’s greed
(Chorus)
If Barrack gives in, it’s a different world. He can be my veep.
Then we can whirl
Come-on come-on we’ll dance all night
If it gets to Denver you’ll never win this fight
And oh, don’t you know it’s a pity, I’ll steal it and you’ll be toast
by fifty
In the summer, in the city…in the summer in the city…
Note to Republicans: Show the elephant in a good light. Open
your tent and welcome those black Americans to the real party of
opportunity for all.
Maybe, just maybe, the rest of the country will follow.
