CLINTON VS. OBAMA
By Gigi

I need to vent; I voted this morning; I voted for someone that I stated on FRONT STREET just a year ago, that I wouldn’t vote for. That’s right…Barack Obama. Why? Because just 2 weeks ago, Hillary Clinton’s husband, “Slick Willy” also known as Ex-President, Bill Clinton, was in South Carolina using divisive and racial language, scaring White people of the thought of having a Black President and coercing them to vote for his wife. You don’t see Obama’s wife, Michelle sticking her foot in her mouth, raising the ire of White people. Bill needs to let Hillary convey her platform without his help. Because it looks like she can’t fight for herself; like the typical woman who need the help of a man. This shows that she needs a man to defend her. Another example, when things weren’t going well in New Hampshire two weeks ago, she “cried”. And she teared up again in New Haven, Connecticut last night, Feb 4, 2008. Whenever Obama picks up steam, she seems to open up the waterworks, which to me is starting to look contrived.

I’ve heard Black people in the past say that Bill Clinton is our “first Black President”. This was first heard over 10 years ago in jest and still being said today. And because of Slick Willy’s popularity with Black people, he has enjoyed our divine love and protection from fault because Black people truly felt that he “understood” us. So of course, Hillary is hoping to ride that wagon until the wheels fall off; after all, by extension she’s Mrs. Slick Willy.

People didn’t know that Hillary had a plan 10 years ago, which is why she stuck it out with Bill through the many and countless infidelities, lying, conniving and embarrassments. Yes, her plan all along was to be president herself; but first, she had to test the waters by running for Senator…she of course won by default. Because Guiliani dropped out due to being diagnosed with prostate cancer; not that New Yorkers would’ve voted for him anyway—since most of us hate him; especially Black people, whom he treated with such dismissive distain. But Hillary used the Senatorial post as a stepping-stone for bigger and better things. She knew all along that she wouldn’t remain in that job. In South Carolina, Bill Clinton threw everything at Obama, including the kitchen sink and garbage can and still, that didn’t help Hillary. When things don’t go the Clinton’s way, they collectively will attack with negative comments and try to dig up dirt to smear you. Over the years, I’ve watched how the Clintons operate to get what they want. And now, today, as of this moment, I don’t like either one of them very much.

Anyway, people please, go out to vote; it is your duty. This means YOU especially Black people. Because your ancestors died for you to exercise this right.
