Hillary Suspends Campaign
Link: sevenload.com
By now everyone knows Hillary Clinton has suspended her campaign and no link is necessary, although I’ve provided clips of her speech.
By suspending her campaign she can continue to raise money to replenish the Clintons’ private coffers. After all, he didn’t make all those speeches just to throw away the money.
As I see it Hillary has cried “Un” but will not cry “cle” until January 21, 2009, a full day after the next president is sworn in. Then she will begin to plot her next run.
Never, ever underestimate the Clintons. She is still officially in this race hoping there will be buyer’s remorse on Obama and she can jump right in and fill the top of the ticket. The wheels are always spinning in the heads of the Clintons.
Oh, she said all the right words with her arms spread as though she were going to take flight at any moment, but if Barack or anyone else believes her they are naive. She has probably negotiated a big speech in prime time at the convention for herself and her husband.
She’ll put on the act of support for Barack Obama, but it is only an act. She really wants him to lose so she can say, “I told you so.”
She has made history by being the first woman to seriously be considered as a candidate for President of the United States. I’ll give her that much credit, and one day a woman will be elected, but hopefully one who is not so self-consumed and has the interest of the country at heart.
If I were Barack Obama I would stay as far away from her as John McCain is staying from President Bush, and I like President Bush. Harry Truman once said “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” It seems that President Bush is learning that the hard way, but then again he’s doing what he feels is right and not what the polls tell him he should be doing. Love him or hate him or his policies, you have to admire the fact he doesn’t look to polls to make policy.
It appears the country has been spared another Clinton presidency; at least for four more years, but don’t count on it until noon on January 20,2009. And if Barack is smart he won’t have her as his VP or as a cabinet secretary.
Her sore loser attitude has soured her reputation in the Senate, but hey, why should she care? Over half the voters in the two elections her husband won voted for someone else and they still acted as though they had been coronated.
Hillary spent money like a drunken sailor during the first part of her campaign, until she realized it was running out faster than she could replenish it. Now bills are unpaid and she’ll keep trying to raise money to pay them; the biggest creditor being herself.
And why shouldn’t she have spent like it was going out of style? She was supposed to just have her name in the race and the presidency would be served to her on a diamond-studded gold platter.
It’s funny how things work in the real world, but I have a hunch she’s still thinking she can pull this off someway to her benefit, so she won’t say “cle” until she goes to her grave.
We have in Barack Obama a candidate as slick as Bill Clinton and one who thinks he’s the next JFK. He’s still a socialist and people not blinded by rose-colored glasses will see he is a charming man but still an empty suit.
He has spent two of his three years as a Senator campaigning for president and it won’t stop until November when the election is held.
Now I have my problems with John McCain too, the most recent one being the fact he is buying into the global warming thing going to ruin the planet. I’ll not touch on Bible prophecy to explain why I think this is all as it is supposed to be, but suffice it to say I don’t believe it is our biggest problem.
Now we have two men who have promised clean campaigns. Judging from McCain’s first ad talking about his family and military history and the DNC’s ad twisting his words I would say we shall see what we shall see.
Anyway, if you supported Hillary, don’t give up hope yet. She’s still trying to figure out her next step.

All I can add is that some people understand grace and humility, others do not.
When you have to be pressured into showing either, then to me at least, it shows a lot about your character.

J, what are you girls going to do without a Clinton to bash? This woman has more intelligence and grace than most I’ve seen over the years.

It’s amazing how I come to this blog, with my morning coffee, thinking that I will hear something interesting but by the time I leave I feel nothing but resentment.
I enjoyed the video on President Reagan but some how thought it was my duty to say something offensive about him.
What ever happened to mutual respect? J, you and sue both know that I respect the Clinton’s in the same way that you do the Regan’s. I would never think of bashing them (The Reagan’s)anymore than I would you. It’s things like this that will keep this great country divided.
I apologize but I can’t vote republican after reading this pure hate for a family that has done as much for this country ,in my opinion, as any one else.
I will no longer visit here. I need to start my days in a positive mood.

I think a Supreme Court nomination is ahead for Senator Clinton if Senator Obama wins.

What will we do when we can no longer “bash” the Clintons? I guess the same thing the Democrats will do when they can no longer “bash” Bush.
It’s clear we don’t like Hillary, but more importantly we don’t trust her. To each his own.
You don’t have to feel as though you need to comment on Reagan or anyone else if you don’t want to. He had his mistakes and faults too.
You seem very confused as to how you plan to vote in November. Your vote is yours and it is up to you to use it as you think is right.
I hate to see you leave, but we are in the midst of a presidential campaign and we have endorsed the Republican candidate.
Don’t count Hillary out yet. The convention hasn’t arrived and there could be buyers’ remorse about Obama and she could land the nomination.

If you should stop back let me just say that I do not consider it bashing someone if the facts prove what you have said to be true.
When it comes to individual opinion on the character of another, that is generally arrived at by observation over a period of time.
While I thought Ronald Reagan was the right man at the right time I also had my differences with his Presidency. His oratory skills carried much of the day during his 8 years..part of the reason President Bush has had so much difficulty in my opinion.
As for the Clintons. Well the dot.com boom is only going to come along once and that lent a helping hand towards the economy boost the former President claimed during his administration. There were far too many legal situations they both had themselves entangled in. I disagreed with the Impeachment proceedings but understood that they were based on perjury not sex.
As to the character and moral issues. Some of those should speak for themselves. What other administration left the White House in the condition the Clinton’s did upon their departure? They touted a co-presidency, therefore Mrs. Clinton is as much to blame for that as WJC is. I think they forgot that house belongs to the people and is only on loan to those who are fortunate enough to occupy it.
Those are but a few of the reasons why I simply cannot bring mnyself to support either of these individuals in any way.
Perhaps to others that is shallow and unfair but after observing the treatment of President Bush, I think we here have been more than fair and most of the time mild in criticism by comparison (and that is of anyone, not just the Clintons).
Personally, I would be sorry to see you go based on this one issue but if that is your choice I respect it.

I have read that in several places. The only reason I might disagree is that it is not the most high profile job and if she plans to run again in 2012 (assuming nothing changes this year) it would be an impossible nomination to accept.
Who knows..anymore I can’t figure it all out day to day.
