Hillary Clinton Already Looking To Propagate LIES About Barack Obama
For starters, Senator Obama is a Christian. Yet the Clinton camp could not wait to seize on this opportunity to impugn the character of a man whom some are calling an African American version of the late John F. Kennedy. It's clear that many Americans see Obama as a breath of fresh air in the political realm and are looking to learn more about him.
Others have criticized his lack of political experience -- that he's not one of the typical Washington crowd. In this author's opinion, that is a good thing. Americans have far too many hacks in Washington as it is, who exist to play the political game by catering to special interest groups while maintaining the status quo to ensure that things remain as they are. Senator Clinton is just such a politician -- a political shark who's better at talking the game of politics than she is in actually using her position to affect positive change in this country.
She has once again jumped on the health care bandwagon as her political platform just as she did during her husband's administration, and will be as equally unsuccessful (should she become the next president) as she was in the 1990's, when her campaign for health care reform failed miserably.
If there is a bright light in the Democratic Party, it is Barack Obama. Americans may well have a rising star in this straight shooting Hawaiian native -- and not just because of his celebrity status as of late. Senator Obama has already proven himself to be a brilliant orator; a man who appears to have as fine a handle on this country's problems as he does in regard to Congresses' less than stellar performance over the past several decades.
And the voters can be sure that Obama earned his education the old fashioned way: he worked hard for it. Not like George W. Bush, who was accepted to Yale simply by his family's Skull & Bones legacy.
The real issue is can Senator Obama win the presidential election in 2008? Americans are at a pivotal point in their history, suspecting the Bush Administration of at the very least a lack of candor in regard to the attacks on 9-11, and in a worst case scenario, complicity in treasonous acts against them, through the orchestration of these terrorist acts.
Barak Obama comes along at a time where this country is no longer just asking for positive change, but vociferously demanding it. Is he another John F. Kennedy? It's too soon to say for certain, but perhaps in time he may prove to be even more dynamic than the man who oversaw Camelot was in the early 1960's.
Senator Obama may offer Americans a chance at a new beginning, and the ability to clean up the cesspool that this government has become; something that Hillary Clinton clearly does not.
Americans are ready for a significant change in leadership. They are ready for a woman president, an African American president, or for that matter anyother person who would have in the past been considered an anomally in such an influential position, simply because of the narrow mindedness which has pervaded American politics for far too long.
What we need first and foremost is excellent leadership -- something that we have not had in a very long time.
The following article covers the Clinton campaign's attempts to attack Senator Obama's integrity as well a the Republican's role in the aforesaid. I doubt that he will allow himself to get mired in such dirty tactics, and will instead seek the high ground throughout his campaign to gain the Democratic Party's nomination.
I wish him well and look forward to an opportunity in which to vote for him in 2008.
