Obama Wins the 2008 Democratic nomination - Obama wins the 2008 nomination and all across the land, the savvy are celebrating the fact that the nation is safe from Hillary Clinton for four more years.;)
The sad fact remains however, that Barack Obama won the Democratic presidential nomination and the country has to fear that a man will be elected president who doesn't know how many states are actually in the United States. I guess it is out of the frying pan and into the fire...sigh. Sometimes, you just can't win.
Obama Wins Nomination - Obama wins in the final two primaries sealed his nomination as the 2008 Democratic candidate. The good news is that the United States is safe from Hillary Clinton for four more years.;) The bad news is that many Democrats were so hard-pressed at the abysmal thought of Hillary Clinton as president that they were forced to vote for Obama. The old adage, "any port in a storm," comes to mind.
Once I learned that Obama didn't even know how many states he would lead as president, I lost my respect for him as a candidate. Early on in his campaign I actually thought him an intelligent, viable candidate for office. As the Obama Campaign progressed, I came to realize that Obama lacked the qualities that are essential for leadership. He actually seems about as qualified to lead the United States as Miss Teen South Carolina.
Obama is also beginning to preach as he delivers his speeches, to the point where he is beginning to sound like a bad television evangelist. His style seems patronizing and he doesn't seem to talk to us, he seems to talk above us as he delivers a bad sermon.
Although I am cheered by the news that Hillary Clinton won't lead our nation for the next four years, I am equally disheartened that the Democratic Party was unable to find a more-impressive candidate among their ranks. From what I have observed of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, it wouldn't take much.
For now I guess we just have to revel in the knowledge that Hillary Clinton is finished...sigh.
