Hillary, the GOP, and Obama: And never the two shall meet.

"You just don’t know what might happen". 
 
Something bad could happen in June.  I am not saying something will, mind you, but nonetheless, something may very well happen.  On a few occasions, the woman who has nothing to lose, and decreasing amount to win, is now hinting that bad things may happen.  Smell that, friends, smell that odor of fear she is trying to cover the room with?  Fear the uncertainties; fear the unknown, a chance on hope is not worth what “might” happen. 
 
She is quietly selling fear.  She is slowly, trying to justify her political actions, by using the same book which is used by the Republicans.
 
She has pandered to her older white rural and uneducated base, by trying to sell them on her legitimacy as a candidate, by referring to none other than Karl Rove and an analysis he did between herself and McCain.  An analysis which shows she is far stronger than her opponent, Sen. Obama.
 
Karl Rove of all people she uses to support her case. 
 
I never seem to be able to get that acid imprinted mantra out of my mind.  The one where she says over and over, “If this were a republican presidential primary, I would have already won”, says a member of the Democratic Party. 
 
As if our friends in the GOP, who have “little real blame” in letting Bush get whatever he wanted, are not so bad.  It’s as if she is saying, “Don’t hate the playa’, hate the game”.  Again, she dangles Republicanism in the faces of fellow democrats. At whose gain, I ask you; and at what loss.
 
What about Fox News, while playing softball question hour with the pundit of all pundits, Greta. 
 
What about the slights about race made by Bill Clinton, “…at least I didn’t steal the car.”  Remember South Carolina? And no, if you watch and listen to the video long enough to get his point, you see what he meant.
 
You have seen it. Maybe for so long it's hard to separate the true politicking of the citizen, and the divisiveness of the politics itself.
 
Hey wait a minute, that’s my game she wants to change.  I don’t want another president who has been in Washington long enough to truly know how to play the game.  I want someone in Washington who will bring a new direction to the game. 

And a vote for Obama, in my view, is a vote for the future style of governmental leadership, from which I feel Americans were derailed, and have been waiting for, the last eight years.
 
I grew up in Washington, I have met these people.  I know where they hang out.  What restaurants and bars, and to which after-hours joint de fantaisie et d'élite, they go to.
 
My brother Aaron has a great restaurant in Washington, DC, called

The Russia House Restaurant & Lounge.  It is a great and hip place (check out the link), and if you ever stop by, tell him I sent you and don’t talk politics with him (maybe I’ll get some brother credit?).
 
But anyway, you get those people in there as well.  They are not bad people themselves, for they are just doing a job, and doing it anyway and wherever they can.  It’s just the way their job is set up.   
 
It is about time that we elected a person that will work with others in running our country.  Not at the direction or insistence of a heavy lobbyist group, or from a fat and deep PAC, but because that which is trying to be done is the best thing for “our” country.
 
We need a person who can look at a situation from a multitude of various perspectives, and with the end goal being to have made the wisest decision for our country, and our future, that solves the issue as best as possible.  That is what we need.  We need governance, not from the perspective of the corporations and special interest, but from someone who is not beholden to the gold coffers of the heavy industry players. 
 
We need someone who has a vision of what things can be like, someone who is not afraid to imagine what may be, and one who has the innate sense of diversity which allows him to see from many perspectives, and come to a much wiser decision. 
 
We need someone in Washington who has not lost their imagination, due to the many years of the political enculturation and doctrinarian, into the old ways of politics. Be they young or old, Republican or Democrat, the old ways are dead, and information has changed the court.
 
It should be obvious that I support Sen. Obama, but just for the record; I support Barry.  He can be trusted to make the best decisions for this great country, if and when they arise. 
 
We need, as a Party and a Country, to move beyond the politics of destruction, and into the politics of Hope.  To bring to our present political system, a more transparent and citizen minded, perspective, outlook, and visage.  A 21st century view on what is the best that government can do for its citizens and the world. 
 
That’s no different than any other President would try to do, but the crux difference between Sen. Obama and the rest, is where he has already been.  The gathered world perspective he has experienced, to be able to see the world through another’s eyes, is something that comes along ever so rarely.  And, for the last 8 years, not at all, it seems.
 
 
And that my friend is a bit about why I support Sen. Barack Obama.
