Hillary’s Voice

I don’t think you need to raise the possibility of “suble racism” as a reason why people do not trust Obama. There are many reasons why people should support Hillary, and all have to do with the fact that she is better qualified, more experienced, harder working, and smarter about putting plans together that would help people. 

Google: “Hillary’s accomplishments.”

Hillary helped create the SCHIP Children’s Health Insurance program, which now covers six million children; she has sponsored over 350 bills—everything from added protection for children in vehicles to protection of a watershed to added benefits for public safety officers. 

She has traveled to over 80 countries. 

Hillary’s healthcare plan is truly universal, it would cover everyone, Obama’s would not. 

She supports using the best environmental technology to do oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico while we develop green energy so as to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Obama does not. 

Obama supports nuclear energy, which is a disaster. How many of his supporters are even aware of this? Few, and that is the problem with the media bias against Hillary. 

Meanwhile, Obama has lied many times on issues that are a lot more significant than Hillary embellishing her trip to Bosnia. 

Obama lied about how his father came to the US, saying the Kennedy family program helped him when in fact his father came before the program started. See the Washington Post article, “Obama Overstates Kennedys’ Role in Helping His Father” by Michael Dobbs.

Obama lied about his positions regarding issues on a questionnaire he turned in during one of his Chicago political races, until evidence emerged in Obama’s own handwriting showing Obama worked on the answers himself, so those were the positions he held.

Obama lied about having nothing to do with lobbyists until it came out that a lobbyist was a key part of his own campaign in NH, at which point Obama simply said that he meant Federal, not State, lobbyists only. 

Obama lied about not knowing that his pastor Jeremiah Wright is a racist bigot. And Obama lied about not knowing that his slumlord friend Tony Rezco was under investigation, and later indicted for theft, when Obama “bought” the land next to his house from Rezco’s wife. 

So why would you insinuate that “subtle racism” may be behind people’s support for Hillary Clinton? There are clear, unambiguous, factual reasons to support Hillary and to not support Obama.

I think it is exactly this attitude that has prevented journalists from digging deeper into Obama’s record. But you are not doing anyone any favors. The truth will come out, and more negative things will be associated with Obama,like his comment that people who are not like him and live in small towns are bitter and cling to religion and hatred. 

It is really insulting that a person cannot feel good about supporting the better candidate, Hillary Clinton, because of the fear that it will be seen as racist. Come on, how is that fair? If there were no reasons to support Hillary, and if there were no questions about Obama’s experience, qualifications, or love for the people that a President is supposed to represent, then yes you can say it is racism. But this is not the situation in this election. 

Objectively you are talking about a woman who has spent her lifetime preparing to become president by working hard, being the best, getting things done, versus a man who gave a speech, has passed two pieces of legislation as US Senator and is not respected by his colleagues. Yes, he is a rock star and a celebrity, but he is not a Clinton, and it was under the Clintons that we had a period of time that we can only look back to fondly— a period of time with peace and prosperity.
