At last night’s Democratic National Convention meeting, Hillary Clinton mentioned Barack Obama’s name 12 times and mentioned John McCain’s name 12 times. Hillary never addressed the issue as to whether Mr. Obama was ready to be commander-in-chief. How could Hillary say that Mr. Obama was prepared and ready to be commander-in-chief when she viciously vilified Mr. Obama in the primary campaign with brutal negative ads and statements saying he was not remotely qualified or ready to lead. Hillary claimed the only qualifications Obama had was a speech he had given in 2002. Hillary will never give an appearance that she is being contradictory in anything she does. (Remember her explanation of her vote on Iraq). Furthermore, Hillary failed to denounce all the negative campaign ads of John McCain that feature Hillary and one of her supporters.
So, was Hillary’s performance last night all about show and style and very little on substance? Did Hillary make a true, passionate endorsement of Barack Obama? Was Hillary being sincere when she encouraged the audience and
T. V. crowd to solidly support the Democratic ticket in the Fall because of the gross failure of the Bush administration? Was Hillary merely auditioning and positioning herself to possibly make a run for the presidency in 2012?
It remains to be seen if Hillary’s endorsement of Barak Obama is a duplicitous ploy or an honest endeavor or attempt to bring about Democratic Party cohesiveness.
