I really think this is a non-issue.
Of course, a better issue is why Michelle O. said she might not support Hillary if she was the Dem nominee.
What on earth was she thinking?
Given the context, I think I might have teared up too.
Oliver, I am not going to try and persuade you to vote for Clinton, but I will tell you why I am very much not thrilled with Obama, and that’s over his health care attacks.
I think that a universal health care plan is the best thing the next president can do for the citizen as well as for business. I mean, it’s seems like such a twofer: better health for citizens, much less costs and overhead for business. Business should profit and it should help them compete globally against companies in countries that have universal health care.
So I am frustrated and appalled with Obama’s point of view on health care.
What’s expecially frustrating is I think Obama is clearly far more electable than Clinton, especially up against John McCain.
I actually have a fantastic health care plan at the moment, but I strongly feel that universal health care is what the country needs.
Oh well.
And news this morning, addressing one of my issues, fathers, Glenn Sacks writes that
Hillary Clinton’s Youth Opportunity Agenda Will Help Low-Income Fathers
She appears to be calling for reforms in how child support is calculated and arrears assessed in large part because for many low income fathers child support is so huge compared to their actual income that it just drives them into a cash underground economy, which is good for no one. When fathers are in jail for non-violent drug offenses, child support continues which leaves them coming out of prison with no job and thousands of dollars in debt.
Then again, the Nation prints an article suggesting that Clinton is the only candidate that won’t promise to help us regain our civil rights.
Both candidates are such a mixed bag. Some very good attributes and some oddly off attributes.
I’d like to solely blame the press on this, but I think those stupid fucks are are only 85% to blame.
Good for her. I wnet back to MY Alma Mater, and I got choked up talking to my old teachers too.
What’;s wrong with you Obama people? Jeebus, if she feels emotion, she’s a wimp, if she shows emotion, she’s a cynical actress, if she cries it was a calculated ploy.
Thanks for regurgitating all the points the Right Wing morons focus-grouped and tested to demonize and demean her.
Why don’t we get back to issues, like health care?
Hillary’s plan, according to Dr. Paul Krugman, covers EVERYBODY, and Obama just offers the Hope of coverage for everyone, someday, under certain still-to-be-specified conditions.
Hell yeah, we can. But only with the right leadership.
