Which leads back to the central question: What does Hillary Clinton really want? Always, to win. Move the goal posts, play for time, grind down the enemy. But that part is over, unless Obama gets hit by a meteor or self-destructs. Still, the narrative of Hillary the Fighter continues. That means staying in the ring until the 15th round, winning the prize for endurance and grit. There's only one small problem: She's punching air.

Let Obama stand alone, because he's not going to beat McCain in the fall anyway. She doesn't want to be on that ticket. I think McCain should take it this election, and the Republicans should be the ones to get us out of Iraq. This country is still in a downward spiral, and we haven't quite hit bottom yet. Since the Republicans are the ones that started that downward spiral, they should be the ones to "reap all the benefits" of it as well. Let them clean it up. I'm so disgusted by this government and by what has happened to our name across the world. Just give it to McCain. Let it get bad.... real bad. Then maybe the people of this country will come together finally. Get good and MAD people! I know I am angry. I've been angry since the election was stolen from Gore.... but enough of that. For the first time in my life I will not vote this fall. I'm angry that my vote in Florida was basically taken from me because of some idiot in Tallahassee changed the date of the election by a couple weeks. I'm angry that America has embraced Obama so openly when they know little to nothing about him. What has he accomplished? I'm angry that Hillary received more votes than him, yet she's the one who's lost. I'm angry that every day spent in Iraq is another day of dead boys, and insurmountable debt. In my head I know this is the best country in the world, but I can't feel it in my gut anymore. And that angers me. So, out of spite, or because I'm one of those "angry Clinton supporters" I will not vote for Obama, I will not vote period.

Father Day Reflection on Election Campaign 2008 :

Election 2008 is not a election but a decision for homecoming. Americans are on the crossroad of homecoming or a journey to the abyss. They are currently facing Great Depression II and the only conscious solution is to repeat what they had done in the last Depression and emerged as a much stronger country. In the 1930s Americans were smart enough not to elect a politician as president but to return home to their parents, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, who had nurtured them back to health and wealth. Today, we are facing the same dilemma, should Americans elect a radical politician who has given them empty promises? Or, to return home to their parents, John and Hillary? The choice is really quite simple. Obama and Black supporters reminisced wrestlers whose matches are pre-arranged and play by hitting under the belt theatrics causing economic downturn just to win. So, stop watching American games. Obama's white supporters are insulting their own race as incompetent and incapable of managing their own country . Whether Obama will be elected his "super delegates", who endorsed at other's expense, must be sentenced to live in Black neighborhoods for more than four years to find out what they are really like. The democratic governor of Oklahoma who had just endorsed Obama must be executed for causing their supernatural tornadoes. The communication media of the U. S. are circus clowns not worth commenting on because they have never given any honest election comments. American voters in general are "blind" to good judgement. Hillary Clinton, best American candidate in history, can be identified with a unspoiling mother who has wasted her own $10 million just to warn her stubborn and ignorance daughter not to date strangers in the street. John McCain who has shown the ability to set aside party differences for the common good, working relentless for the American by running on many elections and his decency has earned the trust of most Americans. Together as a team John and Hillary will carry Americans out of the current Great Depression. But will a good father send his children to early grave for a war that cannot be won? Obviously, our parents are much older and less handsome than us but they have the experience we rely on and care we need. Happy Father Day!
