Endorsing Hillary?!

Someone I dearly love wrote in their blog that they're supporting Hillary over Barack Obama. Waaaaaa! She says that the Clinton family has been one of her favorites for many years and that Hillary wants change.

On liking the Clintons:

I didn't mind the Clintons before, I even liked them when Bill was in office. I thought he did a pretty good job. Except for Monica, of course, and a few other things, it seems he was not bad overall. The Clintons of late leave a whole lot to be desired though.

On wanting change:

Listen, anyone running a campaign against the opposing team wants change. That goes without saying. The only change Hillary wants though is her in the White House. For her this is another step on the career ladder. I think she's probably a hard-working lady who means well and wants to help people but she will do stuff as part of a job, not as a real feeling from the inside that who we could be as a country is AMAZING.

The Clintons are pros at the political game and this position of President is just that, a position to get, a title. That's why they have come out swinging at Barack with all the crappy comments about race and about the Obama campaign being a fairytale (A fairytale? Are you insane?!) etc. etc. They thought they could say these things and actually get away with it. They think they're entitled, that they're some sort of a political dynasty. It was so terribly unprofessional and arrogant and off-putting to me. They never had me with Barack in the picture but they lost me there completely.

Besides, the Republicans will love to oppose everything Hillary tries to do in office even if it's good. With Barack Obama, they know this is who he is, that he works with people across the aisle, that he expects to get things done and be friends with everyone and not play the b.s. political game. They respect and like him which is not the case with Hillary.

Although I think she has somewhat gotten a raw deal for years, I just don't connect with her either. She seems wooden to me and her speeches are more of the same. Where's the inspiration, the call to us, the citizens? There is NOTHING there!

Barack is in a league of his own in a thousand ways and what I like best of all is the fact he has raised money from individuals and not special interests so he doesn't owe crap to anyone.

This is the people's campaign and not the lobbyists' and corporations'. This is such a personal campaign for all of us supporting him. This is our lives and our dreams, not just a push to the White House as the next personal goal.

This person I love also noted Hillary saying in the latest debate that it took the 1st Clinton to clean up after the 1st Bush, and it would take a 2nd Clinton to clean up after the 2nd Bush. Well, sure that was "cute" of Hillary to say but, to me, this is the real thing and no cute sound-bite could ever sway me from TRUE, INTRINSIC CHANGE.

Bottomline, with Hillary, I expect more of the same - lots of fighting, nothing getting done for this country. With Barack, lots of discourse and compromise and arriving at the middle, Americans involved and plugged in, helping make things happen at long last. A very easy decision for me, especially with his plans for community organizing and service.

It's just brilliant and man, I just cannot wait for the HUGE transformation of this country inside and outside its borders!!! It may hurt a little or even a lot but for growth and transformation, that's what's necessary, baby! I say, let's go!!
