Observations from a Halfhearted Observer

I have been avoiding updating for awhile out of pure laziness; so sorry if you had to wait until now for something new.

With his recent successes Obama is posed to run away with this thing; which is probably pissing the hell out of Clinton. I can't blame; she has been planning this run since 99. She was the one who was the anointed one, she'd made the plans plotted the course, and now she is in second place. She should've seen it coming. All the negative karma that generated around the Clinton presidency got stored in her; Hillary was and is compared to every evil shrew of a wife found in history except Marie Antoinette. She has none of her husband's ability to convey empathy. She is more of a bureaucrat in regards to politics [someone who can create policy but not really sell it]. Secondly she doesn't have the new politician smell or back story that Barrack has. people know Hilary or at least the Hilary of the Lewinsky affair; some remember her on health care; and others about her years as a Senator voting for the Iraq resolution. She is not new nor is she magnetic in the way he is. The press likes him his entry and everything his image conveys makes him a topic for discussion even among those who don't like him. Clinton on the other hand is seen as a calculating and racist. A friend of mine remarked that Bill Clinton's "fairy tale" remark was racist; I remember hearing it and thought it not racist. So to close this ramble off a few facts about the race


Hillary Clinton has been on this course for more then ten years; do not expect her or her people to play nice or for her to take the VP position (and if she did it would be like JFK/LBJ ugly)

Whoever wins the nomination will have to face John McCain who is the most viable Republican candidate

Ralph Nader or Mike Bloomberg might get in

The same situation we are in now we will be in in 09

If Obama gets in making change happen might get in the way of governing [hope and change is good but not everybody has that on the agenda]

Lastly, here is an article by everybody's favorite race commentator Greg Kamiya on how he is saddened by Obama's choosing to be Black (I did not know it was a choice)

Biracial, but not like me
