Well people, we are making history this year. We truly are. Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 6 months or so, then you know that the deomcratic race for presidential candidate has been a heated, dramatic, mud-slinging, back-talking, jive-making fight to the finish. We are in the final stretch, and I must say both Clinton and Obama have put up a strong and entertaining fight. Initially I was torn, but moe recently Clinton has been really turning me off with her negative campaigning tactics. Besides that, when you look at her agenda there is not much that differs between her and say, John McCain. She's a little too conservative for my liking. I believe this country needs a fresh-faced, bold and brave liberal who will change the global opinion of our nation for good! I believe that Obama is that man, and apparently a lot of people agree with me.
Most recently, Obama won delegates in Hawaii, South Carolina and Wisconsin. The only way Clinton can pull this off is if she performs nothing short of a miracle in Texas; which I highly doubt. Her camp has gone out of their way to take many things that have been said by Obama out of context, but Barack always seems to take it in stride. Most recently, Clinton attacked Michelle Obama for a speech she gave this weekend when she claimed, "Now is the first time in my adult life that I can stand up and say I am truly proud of my nation". You know Hillary jumped all over that one. But truly as a black woman, I understand where Michelle was coming from. Clinton claims she's always been proud of this nation... So I guess when blacks were hanging from trees like some kind of strange fruit that was pride. Amadou Diallo? Pride. Rodney King? Pride. The Jena 6? Pride. Iraqi War? Pride. Wooooooooow, what a world we live in. Please oh please Lord grant Obama the strength and ability to make it to that finish line. He is a change we can believe in!!!!
