DEL.ICIO.USHillary showed hers, and now Barack shows his
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last Friday, the Hillary Clinton campaign in Georgia put out its list of heavyweight support.
One week later, the Barack Obama campaign has done the same thing, unloading its roster.
Clinton collared the endorsements of Democrats elected statewide — Attorney General Thurbert Baker, Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond, and Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin.
But clearly, Obama has the support of most African-American lawmakers serving in the state Capitol.
Clinton has Hank Aaron. Obama has Walt Bellamy.
See the entire list on the jump.
You have to wonder whether the Obama list has grown as a result of the Clinton/Martin Luther King flap leading up to the New Hampshire primary.
The New York Times has a piece today in which James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, the highest-ranking African-American in Congress and the bellwether of black politics in the state, said he’s reconsidering his neutral stance as a result of Hillary Clinton’s comments.
This from the Times:
In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Mrs. Clinton, who was locked in a running exchange with Senator Barack Obama, a rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, over the meaning of the legacies of President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., tried to make a point about presidential leadership.
“Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” Mrs. Clinton said in trying to make the case that her experience should mean more to voters than the uplifting words of Mr. Obama. “It took a president to get it done.”
Quickly realizing that her comments could draw criticism, Mrs. Clinton returned to the subject at a later stop, recalling how Dr. King was beaten and jailed and how he worked with Johnson to pass the landmark law. Clinton advisers said her first remark had not captured what she meant to convey. And they said she would never detract from a movement that has driven her own public service.
Again, see the Georgia list of Obama supporters below. Compare it with the Clinton list here.

Yeah, Hillary what it took “President” Bigamist/pervert LBJ to get done was assassinating Dr. King, John Kennedy, and sending us to die for your “husband’s” Rockefeller relations, their Vatican bosses and the five percent Roman Catholic slave masters in Vietnam. Your hysterical perspective would be a laugh-riot were it not increasingly apparent, from the Diebold scanners in Hew Hampshire, that the “fix” is in.
G-d willing The People will make Obama elect in spite of the institutionalized corruption within which you and you pseudo-husband have uncomplainingly flourished over the last several decades.

I don’t know about other women but I am sick to death at the abuse many journalists have shown toward Sen. Clinton. What horrible thing has she done to deserve this abuse? She has served her country all her adult life. It is about time we women joined together and told them enough is enough. By uniting together we can show these people that we count and that we won’t stand for any more. Together we showed them in New Hampshire, and together we can continue to demonstrate that when we are angry enough we can accomplish anything.
It is about time we elected a women president. We have a candidate that has the experience and ability to change things. Ladies, let’s stand together and tell them we won’t stand for it any more. The only thing Sen. Clinton did that millions of other women have done over the years is keep her marriage together. Isn’t that what we have been taught over the years?
Enough is enough. Ladies, together we can make it happen. Let’s do it.

For real…have you seen Chris Matthews’ coverage of the Primaries? He slobbers all over himself while smearing Hillary. Disgusting. I’m not sure why electing an African-American president shows we’ve changed so much more than electing a woman president. Obama has nothing but empty talk and a lot of the boy’s club behind him.

Exactly how has she “served” Our country? …As a “beard” for her pervert husband? She lied to us when I voted him into office. He was committing serial adultery and she knew it when she appeared on “Sixty Minutes” and lied through her teeth.
Was she “serving” the People when she completed her service with the Watergate Committee and Nixon was able to go to his grave peacefully rather than from a cell in Leavenworth?
Was she serving us when she voted for the draft-dodging pervert’s false war in Iraq?
Get real.

Hillary is already dividing this nation. Look at how women are rallying to support her because of her gender. There is going to be a backlash I think to her crocodile tears and her pandering to women about sisterhood. The one thing Hillary has managed is to pit white women against african-american voters in a challenge as to who is the most oppressed minority. And she manages to distress black women who must now way gender vs racial loyalty. Obama has been careful this entire race to be a candidate for all people, black or white, man or women. He is running to unite this country. Hillary is already starting to divide us and pit us against each other.

The race should be about who can get the job done. I hope to God that Clinton is not elected just because she has ovaries nor Obama just because he is Black. We need someone that will spend the next 4 years trying to right the wrongs of the current administration. Hardly any of the crap that these candidates are peddling will ever come to pass because of how messed up things are now.

Hillary Clinton does not understand what it meets to be poor. Bill Clintion did because he lived it when he was in school. It is true that she has worked all her adult life, but that was not due to necessity. Her husband always earned more than enough to pay for all household expenses. So she does not also understand what a lot of people go through.
Such items makes it very difficult for her to connect with a whole lot of people. She is on a different wavelength, she lives on a different plane. That’s all. She is no better and no worse than other politicians as a human being.

I agree that people are being divided. AND for the wrong reason. Has everyone lost sight of the goal, which is to elect the candidate who can do the job. The whole question seems to be about gender or race now instead of the actual issues. I thought that, finally, the American public had matured enough to look at the issues rather than race or gender. I guess not.

As I woman, I understand the historical significance of electing the first woman president, but I’m willing to wait for a better representative of my gender. I’ve been following this race closely and have done plenty of homework. I’ve even seen all of the original democratic candidates in person (used to live in Nevada). I have never been impressed with Sen. Clinton. I don’t believe that she would be where she is today if she hadn’t married Bill, and you simply don’t elect the next president based on their spouse!

Tell you what, you get Mr. Obakarama or Ms.Clintonista to start talking about the FALLACY of emancipation!
When THOSE TWO start talking wisely, about minorities that throw away a free education, and have allowed ILLEGALS to walk in and take their jobs, then there will be some worthy conversation…otherwise, spare us the garbage propaganda please.

In the beginning, I was leaning slightly towards Senator Obama but still considering Senator Clinton. Now I am fully behind Senator Obama and the defining moment for me was when he said that he would be willing to engage in dialogue with our enemies during the debate several months ago. Senator Clinton attempted to tear him apart and portray Senator Obama as naive, inexperienced, and not ready to be President. I saw at that moment and the week following that Senator Clinton feels that being President means conducting business as past Presidents have done it. At that moment, I saw that Senator Clinton was entrenched in past practices which have not produced results and that Senator Obama was willing to think differently to bring about change. Doing things the same old way and expecting a different result is not change, and Senator Obama gets that! Senator Obama has shown a devotion to including the younger generation (who are the future) in the political process. Senator Clinton completely ignored this constituency until she was beaten badly in Iowa. Then she immediately had a REVELATION and decided to imitate Senator Obama and run after the younger voters by immediately showcasing Chelsea. The younger people situated behind her during her New Hampshire victory speech was a disingenuous Photo Opp PROP to imitate Senator Obama. Does imitating Senator Obama prove that Senator Clinton is “the agent of change”. As a matter of fact the candidates of BOTH parties imitated Senator Obama after Iowa. How can Senator Clinton imitate Senator Obama’s ideas and strategy and then claim that he is the naive one. Senator Clinton has had the benefit of President Bill Clinton since 1992 and she has been preparing to run for President since she won her first Senate term in New York eight years ago. With Senator Clinton having so much of a head start on Senator Obama to organize and strategize, how is it that she just “found her voice” in New Hampshire. Senator Clinton advertises 35 years of change, but Senator Obama gives us change in “real-time”. What do you think is better: past change or current “real-time” change? By saying real-time change, I mean that Senator Obama demonstrated in Iowa and New Hampshire that he can widen the Democratic base by including en masse young voters, independents, and Republicans. In order to GOVERN after a candidate has been elected President, he/she must be able to bring divergent groups together to make change a reality. Senator Obama does that NOW in ‘real-time’ while Senator Clinton does not. As support for the premise that one must bring divergent groups together to effectively govern, we need only look to the recent Democratic-led Congress that could not accomplish much because it could not muster a solid base with the Republicans across the aisle. Senator Obama can bridge that gap with the Republicans because they respect him. Senator Clinton cannot bridge that gap because the Republicans despise her. To the Republicans, Senator Clinton reflects an “us vs. them” mentality so the Republicans will not work with her if she is President. I have been a fan of Bill Clinton for years, but I do not relish the thought of “the Republicans and the so-called right-wing” going after Senator Clinton if she becomes President. That kind of diviseness is one reason we have so much gridlock: the Democrats vs. the Republicans. On the other hand, Senator Obama epitomizes the inclusion and fresh ideas that this country is hungering for after many years of a war. Senator Clinton pushes her experience as the reason that she should be President, but experience means little if you cannot effectively govern as President because you cannot bring people together.

From today’s SF Gate (dot com): Advice for Obama
By: Mick LaSalle; January 13, 2008If I were Obama, I’d say this in a debate.
*"Hey, look, Hillary. I've been a professional politician since 1996, when I ran for the legislature; and you became a politician four years after I did, when you ran for the Senate in 2000. We're both lawyers. We've both worked on the community level, we've written books. So why don't we call the experience thing a wash and talk about where we want to take this country?"*I can hear it, can’t you? Huge applause.
In other words, take Hillary’s “35 years” of political life off the table and remind people that, hey, she’s been a politician on her own steam for exactly eight years. I think this would be an effective argument.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last Friday, the Hillary Clinton campaign in Georgia put out its list of heavyweight support.LETTER TO PRESIDENT CLINTON
Montreal, March 22, 1995
President William Jefferson Clinton President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, DC 20500 U.S.A.
Mister President:
Please allow me to take the opportunity of your visit to Haiti, as President of the United States of America, on March 31, 1995, to pay due tribute in all sincerity to you and your distinguished wife, Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
You honor Haiti and the Haitian people with your presence and support.
Thanks to you and your allies in the United Nations and the Organization of American States, the return-to-democracy process has been successfully carried out. Now that the legitimate President, Jean Bertrand Aristide, has been reinstated in his official status, it is with legitimate pride, I am sure that he welcomes you to his country. For you, as well as for us, the “Uphold Democracy” operation is truly a beautiful historical moment.
Mr. President, I come from Haiti, that underdeveloped country.
With underdeveloped tools - a camera and a few films - I have tried, in order to serve my country’s cause, to demystify the word “light” and denounce Newton’s Theory of Colors.
With that same desire to serve constitutional legitimacy in my country, I have written the enclosed book entitled Haiti, Let There Be Light! I hope that you and Mrs. Clinton will accept this privately produced copy, especially intended for you, while you are getting ready for your trip to Haiti.
May I make a confession to you, Mr. President? I followed, closely and with intense interest, your electoral campaign, election, and swearing-in ceremony as 42nd President of the United States. What a great nation you represent! Please believe me: your courageous commitment to facilitate the restoration of democracy in my country has escaped no one. On the very day of your swearing-in ceremony, I wished to send you my book, Haďti, Que La Lumičre Soit!, which questions Newton’s Theory of Colors. I did not do so, because I felt an English-language version would be more appropriate.
Since I could not send you a copy of the yet-to-be-published English version of my book, I contented myself with dreaming - dreaming that on one of your first evenings in the White House, you were seated in the Oval Room with Mrs. Clinton and your daughter Chelsea. You were reading Haďti, Que La Lumičre Soit! I imagined you carefully examining certain passages of that work in its English version, which is now in preparation - typed by a sightless, multilingual Haitian. Those paragraphs deal with the so-called missing matter, darkness in space, “black holes” - in a word: the invisible mass of the Cosmos. You notice Dr. Carl Sagan’s research on Exobiology and the DNA found in the dark matter in the universe, and you suddenly remember a Time article from April 10, 1978 entitled “Black Holes and Martian Valleys”, which contained the following passage:
“A while later, astronomer Carl Sagan (The Dragons of Eden) found himself lugging his slide box into the Vice President’s big new house and, after coffee, taking the Mondale and Carter families on a journey through the heavens.
Jimmy Carter is the closest thing to a scientist we have had in the White House since Thomas Jefferson.
Nixon could not run a tape recorder.
Johnson could not fully figure out his alarm wrist watch.
Not Jimmy. He was fascinated by the discussion of “Black Holes” and the speculation that they might provide answers to what holds the Universe together.”
“Well,” you exclaimed, “O.K. for former President Carter. It is normal for the President of a star-spangled republic to choose between “Star Peace” and “Star War”. As to the former President’s inclination toward Einstein’s physics and/or Planck’s Quantum Theory, there is a great temptation to apply certain laws of the Cosmos to politics and diplomacy. Consider the “Tunnel Effect”, the way that energy escapes from black holes.
“Carter goes back to the sources and draws inspiration from them. That makes me think about Aristide - both of them are well at ease in both the Western world and the Black world: the visible and the invisible. However, there is one difference: the Haitians follow Aristide everywhere, like a comet’s tail. If Aristide is considered as a “Black Sun”, then the Haitians are “space refugees”.
“Yes, Haiti! We are pulled down to earth. Democracy. the exodus of the Boat People. with the Law of Probabilities, whether we think about Planck or Carter, it doesn’t seem that a solution will be found tomorrow.
“What business did the Haitians have in that “boat”?”
“Say, there above, the Black Twin! Is it still broad daylight in the shadow of the “Black Sun”?”
“Oh God,” you say aloud to Mrs. Clinton: “Eureka! I have found it! Fiat lux! Let there be light! Que la lumičre soit! Black holes, black sun, tunnel effect, Aristide effect, boat people, space refugees, Carl Sagan, Jimmy Carter. six of one and half a dozen of the other.”
There is loud laughter in the Oval Room.
Bill a ri Bill laughed Hillary a ri Hillary laughed Chelsea a ri aussi Chelsea laughed too
Humor is American, Mr. President, and so are dreams. Let my book “Haïti! Que La Lumière Soit!” be the “dark matter”, arguing in favor of the development of the Black world - visible and invisible!
In the area of science, high technology, creative innovation, and space exploration, I think there is nothing that America cannot deal with. That is why, in that spaceship of universal energy, I dare sail with a dream.
In my dream, it is your first trip inside your SPACE AIR FORCE ONE, propelled by the energy of invisible and concentrated dark matter, like black holes. A mini black hole of an avant-garde design whose motor sequence develops inertia, spectral speed, speed equal to or higher than that of light, and scientifically controlled reversibility of the phenomenon.
What a new synthesis, but also what a liberation!
Synthesis and analysis are two wings of the same bird - contracted and unfolded at the same time, following the heartbeat of the Universe tamed inside the infinitely small: “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!”
This would be the natural and constructive counterpart of Newton’s Theory of Light and Colors, which slows down that impulse. This is a necessary change in the name of development and progress humbly submitted on behalf of Haiti: a testimony of gratitude toward mankind. Let us go further, to the other side of the Universe, as suggested by an eyewitness: the Hubble telescope, with its camera.
”. Hubble focused on the centre of the galaxy [M87], an area 500 light-years across. The pictures revealed a spiral structure formed by fast-moving gas clouds being drawn toward the centre, rather like water going down a drain.”
Dr. Harms said the Hubble spectrographic camera was then focused on points 60 light-years across on opposite sides of the spinning disc. This camera breaks down light into its wavelength parts, rather like a prism separates colours in sunlight.” (The Globe and Mail, Thursday, May 26, 1994)
Let us in the long run, replace the camera by a motor run by the ENERGY OF THE YEAR 2000, transforming the DARK MATTER from the invisible to the visible and vice versa. We would there by take advantage of the sequence of colored and colorless light speeds, so as to better visit the Universe, where law and order are transcendent, just as in democracy.
I have decided to write this letter because your leadership, Mr. President, like an inevitable and immeasurable energy, has practically absorbed me, allowing me to express myself.
On October 4, 1994, in the General Assembly of the United Nations, a voice echoed the power of your leadership. In new words, on March 31, 1995, that same voice will repeat:
“Even now, with the peaceful launching of the operation “UPHOLD DEMOCRACY” on 19 September last year, a tropical smile has shed light upon the faces of those who espouse and love peace - Peacemakers, Peacekeepers, and Peacelovers. Together, President Clinton and we have managed to open up a “tunnel” of hope after so much suffering.”
That testimony by President Aristide at the U.N. emphasizes the magnitude of the efforts needed to bring about such a happy conclusion.
Your present trip to Haiti is the strongest confirmation of that sequence of events, and illustrates an unprecedented chapter in the annals of Haiti, as well as in the life of the Haitian people
Thank you, Mr. President, for associating Haiti with your Strategic Development Initiative (S.D.I.) at the dawn of the “Star Peace”.

Subject: Watch out Freedom of the Press if Hillary gets elected , if she wants to Deny Barack his right to speak of his Opinion likening himself to MLK or JFK
I don’t think the issue is about race issues, as much as it is the fact that Clintons are denying Barack the right to say a simple message of hope , liking himself to the Movement of MLK and JFK , as a Inspiration of Hope , so the Clintons instead of attacking Barack on him personal point of view , should have instead gave people their own version of their message of hope being a similar liking to someone they felt association with , like who , I don’t know , maybe they feel they are the best there is , that there just is no way to improve on the Legitimacy of the Clinton political war machine . I mean if Hillary is willing to deny Baracks comments , challenging his freedom to speak about MLK and JFK , then what do Ordinary Americans get to look forward to if she is President ???????????????Freedom of the Press will be censored for sure !!!!!!!!!!!
The Clintons started this issue with their comments attacking Barack , instead of sticking to their own message of hope , and all because the polls were saying Barack was winning and they panicked , and the polls were wrong , so what does that say about someone that will attack someone over a poll thats wrong ?????? This is the same result of how mis information that Hillary got she says , that got us into the Iraq war isn’t it ???? So will Hillary make the right decisions if the Information is being mis-interpreted and she mis reads the Intelligence Report and attacks a country , so this attack on barack is no sign she has the experience to make the right decisions .
What Hillary is saying here about ; “If you are part of American political history, you know that speeches are essential to frame an issue, to inspire, and lift up,” Clinton said. “But when the cameras are gone and when the lights are out, what happens next?” Is the job of the president to rally the Congress together for bipartisan achievements , and her record does not support a bipartisan achievement , and she can’t point to her husbands record of this , because hes not running , so how can she is a Uniter with all this controversy and our Freedom of speech that she seems to want to censor Baracks rights too claim that he is and would be a Uniter of the Common goals of our country ??? And it looks like the Clintons panicked under the pressures of the polls , and started to wage the attack Barack campaign , that really turned out to be a non issue , if they were to have stayed still as the polls were wrong anyway , so trying to run a campaign by the way the polls read is why the Clintons panicked and choose to attack Barack ?? , is this the kind of Leadership Experience we as nation of united people that are wanting change , to unite us together , it looks kinda hard to accomplish with this kinda approach ????

Clinton, Obama spar on race, experience She says his campaign ‘distorted’ her statements on Martin Luther King http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22636939/ NEW YORK - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton suggested Sunday that Barack Obama’s campaign had injected racial tension into the presidential contest, saying her comments about Martin Luther King’s role in the civil rights movement had been “distorted” by Obama’s supporters.
“If you are part of American political history, you know that speeches are essential to frame an issue, to inspire, and lift up,” Clinton said. “But when the cameras are gone and when the lights are out, what happens next?”

Subject: Watch out Freedom of the Press if Hillary gets elected , if she wants to Deny Barack his right to speak of his Opinion likening himself to MLK or JFK
I don’t think the issue is about race issues, as much as it is the fact that Clintons are denying Barack the right to say a simple message of hope , liking himself to the Movement of MLK and JFK , as a Inspiration of Hope , so the Clintons instead of attacking Barack on him personal point of view , should have instead gave people their own version of their message of hope being a similar liking to someone they felt association with , like who , I don’t know , maybe they feel they are the best there is , that there just is no way to improve on the Legitimacy of the Clinton political war machine . I mean if Hillary is willing to deny Baracks comments , challenging his freedom to speak about MLK and JFK , then what do Ordinary Americans get to look forward to if she is President ???????????????Freedom of the Press will be censored for sure !!!!!!!!!!!
The Clintons started this issue with their comments attacking Barack , instead of sticking to their own message of hope , and all because the polls were saying Barack was winning and they panicked , and the polls were wrong , so what does that say about someone that will attack someone over a poll thats wrong ?????? This is the same result of how mis information that Hillary got she says , that got us into the Iraq war isn’t it ???? So will Hillary make the right decisions if the Information is being mis-interpreted and she mis reads the Intelligence Report and attacks a country , so this attack on barack is no sign she has the experience to make the right decisions .
What Hillary is saying here about ; “If you are part of American political history, you know that speeches are essential to frame an issue, to inspire, and lift up,” Clinton said. “But when the cameras are gone and when the lights are out, what happens next?” Is the job of the president to rally the Congress together for bipartisan achievements , and her record does not support a bipartisan achievement , and she can’t point to her husbands record of this , because hes not running , so how can she is a Uniter with all this controversy and our Freedom of speech that she seems to want to censor Baracks rights too claim that he is and would be a Uniter of the Common goals of our country ??? And it looks like the Clintons panicked under the pressures of the polls , and started to wage the attack Barack campaign , that really turned out to be a non issue , if they were to have stayed still as the polls were wrong anyway , so trying to run a campaign by the way the polls read is why the Clintons panicked and choose to attack Barack ?? , is this the kind of Leadership Experience we as nation of united people that are wanting change , to unite us together , it looks kinda hard to accomplish with this kinda approach ????

Let me ask this.
What has Clinton done for our country? And what of it as actually been useful? I may not be able to vote but I do know that I would definitly vote for Obama. Just because I’m a woman dosn’t mean I don’t a female president. Maybe a good one, but Clinton is definitly not ready for president. Putting her in the office is just asking for trouble. Obama will actually do what he promises and most likeley something good will come of it. But I can already see what holds for us if Clinton is elected and it isn’t good

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. Sooner or later your true self will come out and it looks like hers finally did. Look at the crocidile tears from last week and think about this!

The lack of decent grammar and spelling reflects the brainpower of some of these Barack cultists. Wow, what a great statement y’all make for his candidacy.

Can someone please answer the question? What are Hilarys accomplishments for the nation as a Senator? I hear that she has 35 years experience in doing what? Is she speaking of the fact that she served as a Senator or as Bill Clinton’s wife. I am afraid that some of our black women out there are voting for Bill instead of Hilary. Think people we are women and we black what type of support do we need the most?

One good example of what she’s done: Hillary was an original co-sponsor of SCHIP, so there are a lot of kids who have health care thanks to her. It’s ironic that the black women who are so critical in the South Carolina primary may vote for a man because he’s black, rather than the woman who made sure their kids could see a doctor.
If you want to vote for Obama because he’s black and charismatic, and you think that will somehow help you—okay, at least you’re honest about it.

God lead REV Martin L. King Jr. to do a great and wonderful thing. He lead a nation to change a government. The chuch had won a victory in America. Why do we give credit to democrats who had the KKK on its side and would have kept us in slavery if it was not for the Replubicans. In order to have a real change then we have to have a voice on both the democratic and the Replublican side.
