Obama - Clinton '09 not now, not ever!

There is more than the past history of a long and well fought primary season to consider here. Up until the last days of her campaign although Hillary no longer directly attacked Barack, she did stand firm in her zeal for 'her' health plan and continuously noted their differences. How could you effectively put together an administration when there are so many strong differences between them on day one. He would have to convince her to go along with his plans, she would still be somewhat beholden to lobbyists that supported her. How could she objectively participate in policy discussions when in the back of her mind she may be trying to figure how she can repay her supporters? Barack does not have this issue, the only supporters he is beholden to are the American voters. The ultimate decision is his, but if I were his counsel, my vote would be an emphatic NO!

To all the HARDCORE HILLARY fans that stated the would not vote or vote for McCain... the time has come to bury your differences and ensure a Democratic White house and Administration in 2009. Its going to be done with or without you, but I'm not so assured as not to believe that your support is needed.

As for the others that simply cannot bring themselves to vote for an African-American President, tell your children the story of how you supported a party and an ideal your entire life, but just couldn't get past the color of a man's skin. I'm sure they will ask you why....good luck with an explanation that they'll believe and support you on. Don't wonder what is wrong with them, wonder what is wrong with you.
