Obama's On the Move

On February 12, Mr. Obama soundly defeated Mrs. Hillary Clinton in the Potomac and Chesapeake primaries. Mr. Obama also won on February 19 in the states of Wisconsin and Hawaii giving him ten decisive, hard fought victories in a row. The results of these victories were more devastating defeats for Mrs. Clinton than the often misleading public opinion polls predicted. Mrs. Clinton’s campaign is like a freight train rolling downhill without brakes headed for a crash at the bottom. But before the Clinton campaign lands at the bottom of the hill, the Clintons and their surrogates will continue to hit below the belt with their distorted, despiteous, vile, negative attacks on Mr. Obama’s speeches, character and voting record in the Illinois and United States Senates. Hillary Clinton cannot stand on her own ideas, her record, her values and her character to run this country if elected president.. There is no doubt that Bill Clinton would influence a Hillary Clinton presidency. Do we honestly want to return to the scandals and corruption of the 1990’s? Without the support and aid of Bill Clinton, Hillary would be a non-entity. Hillary wants to ride into the White House on the coattails of one of the most incompetent presidents in the history of the republic, William Jefferson Clinton.
Mr. Obama’s victories in the states of Maryland, Virginia, District of Columbia, Hawaii and Wisconsin have shown that Mr. Obama has increased his voter support among White men, White women, Hispanics/Latinos and senior citizens.

Mr. Obama’s advisors need to tell Mr. Obama to quit lightly jabbing at Hillary and throw more fierce upper cuts, left hooks, right crosses, overhand rights and bolo punches. Mr. Obama has Hillary up against the ropes and he needs a knock-out punch, not a split decision victory. Mr. Obama needs to have clarity and specificity on all his accomplishments and achievements in the Illinois and U.S, Senates, or he will continue to be unfairly maligned and discredited.
The more I listen to Hillary out on the campaign trail, I feel that she is trying to convince herself when she says: “I’m ready on day one to be commander-in-chief” because it is said without any self assurance, confidence or sincerity in her tone of voice. Hillary’s campaign is in a precarious position of desperation which is the reason she is demanding a series of debates. In the past presidential debates, Hillary has always double talked, twisted the facts, tried to look tough, when actually she has made a buffoon out of herself with her flip-flopping on the issues and with her mean-spirited attacks on Mr. Obama.
The battles of Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania will be the pivotal contests in this nomination process. I predict these upcoming primaries will be the most polarizing, racially/class divisive, gutter politics of the Democratic primary campaign season. This is Hillary’s Gettysburg and it is win at all costs or she can pack her bags and go back to carpetbagging as a U.S. Senator in New York state.
