Realities of this Democratic Race for President
by an Obama Who? Writer;
Let’s start out with this;
Statement from Campaign Manager Maggie Williams on New Vote in Michigan
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=6768
In the wake of today’s court ruling regarding Michigan’s January 15th primary, we urge Senator Obama to join our call for a party-run primary and demonstrate his commitment to counting Michigan’s votes.
Senator Clinton has consistently urged that the 600,000 votes cast by the people of Michigan be counted and if that is not possible, that a new election be held.
Michigan voters must not be disenfranchised and the Obama campaign must not continue to block Michigan’s efforts to hold a new vote. Rather it should move quickly to announce its support for a party run primary.
Michigan will be a key battleground state in November. Disenfranchising Michigan voters today will, in the heat of a general election, provide Senator McCain with a powerful argument to use against the Democratic nominee. We cannot allow this to happen.
The people of Michigan must be counted and their voices finally heard. What the people of Michigan need now is just action, not just words.

On March 26, 2008 the United States Supreme Court declared the Primary in Michigan Unconstitutional. The Green Party sued the state and won on a violation of the 14th amendment and the 1st amendment. Hillary Clinton has called on Senator Obama to do something to make sure that these voters are heard. Obama has gone out of his way to make sure they are not heard.
The problem here is without the states of Florida and Michigan there will be no White House win in November for the Democratic Party. It just can’t happen. The people of these two states are very angry, many of them are threatening to jump ship and vote for McCain, myself included.
People are saying it should be the person with the popular vote who wins the nomination. Here is the thing with this. Hillary Clinton has had more actual Democratic votes casted for her than any other Democratic candidate ever before her. If they remove the Republican votes and the Independent votes from the equation, Hillary is ahead in the popular vote. Then people say the super delegates should back the winner of their state, ok so Kerry, Richardson and Kennedy have best change their allegiances since Hillary won their home states.
The bottom line here is that no matter how much people scream about what will happen, by the end of this NEITHER one of them will have gained the votes they need to make the election count. Michigan and Florida must NOT be left out because Obama thinks this will help him win, he is WRONG. Even with or without these states he can’t make the mark in pledged delegates to win the election. Another bit factor here is that he has not won a single one of the large states except his own state of Illinois. These large states are crucial in an election. People keep calling for Hillary to step down? I don’t think so. Does she need the delegates from Michigan and Florida to win? No, actually she doesn’t as this race will land in the laps of the super delegates no matter how it is played out. Does the DNC need Michigan and Florida to win the General Presidential Election in November, you bet they do. The delegates and the super delegates can all change their minds as they do not have to follow the will of the people. They can vote any way they want to. Though there is a problem with them now since it has been discovered that some of them may not even be registered voters in their home states.

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the Democratic Party is in trouble. There is so much fighting going on between the two candidates that it has gotten way out of hand. An example is how Obama throws a fit every time someone says something about him and how he is constantly trying to get Hillary into trouble. The latest example is trying to block Elton John from having a fundraiser in New York for Hillary because he is a British Citizen. Elton John has DUAL citizenship and lives in Georgia, USA.

Then last night I heard on the news that the people of the United States do not hold Obama responsible for what his Pastor says? I do !! They called it “guilt by association.” And their point? The simple fact is that Obama stands by Rev. Wright, the man is his spiritual advisor, he will not leave the church and will not leave the friendship with Rev. Wright. I’m sorry this is NOT built by association this is guilt by CHOICE. Obama made his choice to stand by this man and to back him therefore he stands by what the man preaches and accepts. How can you object to what a person says and stands for then not object to the person? You can’t. There must be some form of agreement here or you would distance yourself from the person and their value system, not retain them for a spiritual advisor.
I am sick of seeing how people are so upset over Hillary’s story of her visit to Bosnia. Big deal, she gets a few facts off. Obama on the other hand can’t get a story straight to save his life and it is passed over. If the only thing we have to worry about with Hillary is the fact she got a couple of facts wrong then hey if this is the worst she does then I can handle this. Obama’s lies are a matter of record. The new one, Obama is again back to saying he never heard his minister say any of these radical things in church when he just publically stated he did. I think he lies so much that actually believes his own lies. People argue it is just a few sound bytes out of hundreds of sermons. Still more of these sound bytes keep coming up and more printed material keeps coming up and those few sound bytes in my book say it all. What possibly can be said to correct “God Damn America” or the white folks created aides to get rid of the blacks or we deserved 9/11 as “Americas Chickens have finally come home to roost,” or any of the other racist, hateful remarks Obama’s spiritual advisor made? In my book, these sound bytes say it all for both Obama who supports this man, accepts Wright as family and still attends this church where this pastor spoke such radical things in a place of worship.

You are so right on with this article. The news media can scream till the cows come home how this is over with the rev. Wright but not with the people it isn’t. They are talking about it every where. Most people do not understand how he feels he can’t leave this church and how he backs this minister and worst yet how he stayed there hearing this trash for 20 years. Trying to block Elton Josh is un-American. That man has done a lot for this country! That is nothing more than a low blow. What is he jealous no rock stars have done a concert for him? Did you see he copied Hillary’s 30 billion plan to bail out housing? I couldn’t believe it! He actually copied her word for word and called it his plan. This garlic nose person would never vote for him ever and as a catholic I would not vote for him any way even if his pastor did not insult my people. He gets lower on the scale every day. Vote Hillary or McCain as this country is in trouble and we do not need a man with a hate filled church who backs Hamas, a man who lies more than anyone I know, who steals other peoples works as his won, who hangs out with the likes of Avers and Rezko and the rest of his gangsters to be in the white house. People, aren’t you scared of this guy? Who will officiate if he got the White house? I can see it now, The Rev. Wright does his announcements, and Avers goes to visit with Rezko calling all the time for what he needs from the President with Michelle Obama out there screeching how she wants to scratch out he Russian Presidents eyes. Oh Dear God! Look beyond the silken tongue people.

You are so right, Antonio. And Obama’s campaign people and his supporters in the media and in the Democratic party keep on trying to pressure Hillary to drop out of the race. Now wouldn’t that make it so convenient for Obama if they can force her out!!
