A Latte for Hillary

Okay, so it's been a disappointing few days. But we expected it, right? I did volunteer for the Clinton campaign, finally putting my money where my mouth was. I made calls over President's Day weekend to Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin. Now judging by the calls I made to Wisconsin I would have thought Hillary might have won that one. I got some very nice responses of super support for Hillary. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Now comes the real showdown. The polls still show Hillary Clinton ahead in Texas and Ohio. She has to win on March 4th to be our Democratic nominee for President and become the first woman President of the United States. In that light all the campaign is asking for is a donation of just $5.00 -- that's about a latte and a half... so give up a latte for Hillary why don't you? I can't lay claim to that. I emailed a few friends to donate just $5 and my friend Jill said she'd be willing to give up a few lattes to get Hillary elected.

If anyone stumbles across my blog and/or reads this, please support Hillary Clinton by donating just $5.00! There's a link below to make it easy.

And hey, about that plagiarism story... look it was grasping at straws. I think Hillary was ill-advised by her team on that one. It made them look desperate. And that was sad. But I still believe Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for the job.

Now, about Michelle Obama's over-the-top statement -- yes, you know the one I'm talking about, the one everyone's talking about. Her comment about this being the first time in her adult life she's been proud of her country and felt hope? My friend Jill would like to smack her! As Jill put it, "Hasn't it ever occured to her that her entire charmed and privileged adult life (from Ivy League education through this opportunity to become First Lady) is largely attributable to her being an American? (not to mention all the other reasons she should have some pride in her country.) I'd like to see her have pride and hope living life in Iran, or Saudi Arabia." Not to mention Kenya, Iraq, Darfur or Afghanistan for that matter.

Point well taken there, Jill. Whoopie Goldberg also took issue with Michelle Obama's statement as well yesterday morning on The View.

And of course today comes the "that's not what I meant" explanations -- of course it wasn't. But aren't words powerful?

And one other little thing, how about what I also heard on The View that Obama has mistakenly voted six times for legislation that he meant to vote against! Uh, gee, not quite on the ball there is he? But of course, for some reason, this is just another overlooked "minor" flaw by the media. Ah me. He may be a brilliant speaker and writer, but he sounds like a scatterbrain where it counts -- at work!

Over and out! Keep the faith! VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
