Hillary Shows Her True Colors--A Classless Person

At the onset of this political campaign, Hilary Clinton has done everything in her powers to show contempt, not just disrespect, for Senator Obama. Consider her actions and her statements:

#1. He’s too nice to be president;
#2. I am inevitable;
#3. Refusing to congratulate him when he won in Iowa;
#4. Trying to belittle his accomplishments in winning most of the states and particularly his wins of most of the caucuses;
#5. Changing the metrics: Back in October 2007, she clearly stated that the votes in Michigan would not count and everybody knew it;
#6. She “offered” him the Vice-President spot on the ticket when she was behind and losing in the race!
#7. She stated that Senator McCain had experience to be “commander-in-chief” and that she had the requisite experience too, but all “Senator Obama had was a speech.”
#8. When her “metrics” changed, she stated that Senator Obama had “high jacked” her delegates in Michigan;
#9. And tonight, she arranged to hold her speech three floors below ground, with no monitors in the room and out of bounds for cell phones in order to avoid acknowledging that Obama had clinched the democratic nomination!
#10. She refused to congratulate him on his winning the nomination;
#11. All she could do was to muster acknowledging that he had run a good race;
#12. Her campaign let word out that she needed time to come to grips with the situation and she stated that she wasn’t conceding—which is either a bold-face lie or a statement of a chaotic campaign since even a fool could have seen this lost coming since early March;
#13. She refused to concede either the loss in Montana or the nomination to Obama;
#14. Finally, she and Bill have arrogated to themselves the right to be on the ticket as vice-president—thus a slap at Obama’s right to select his own vice-president.

I used to admire Hillary, but I am thoroughly sick of her now. If Obama puts her on the ticket, I would have a real problem voting for them. She has shown herself to be without class.
Does America want or need such a person as our President?

Now, contrast this with Senator Obama’s speech…


To make matters worse, many commentators have gone along time-after-time with this clap trap of the Clintons. If the “shoe were on the other foot,” how many commentators would have been so generous? Oh, excuse me, the press is anti-Clinton…What a crock!
