Hillary Should Get Out Now

If Hi

Every time I hear Jonathan Alter's name mentioned, I remember the night of the 2000 elections, when he told Tim Russert that Bush should concede the election. He thought Bush would lose. Alter...Always wrong. Newsweek deserves better.

To live and fight another day is the better part of Valor

Hillary is best woman, I have seen her old photos on http://www.blackgirlsconnect.com/. I hope more persons support her in this discussion.

The level of this discussion, the horrendous grammar, and the inability of so many to compose a coherent sentence all seem to prove what I just read: the average American reads, writes, and speaks on a fifth grade level. Disgraceful. Looks like the real issue for all campaigns should be education!

I do hope that they are wrong about HIllary! On the other hand, Obama can for sure beat McCain. The real question is...Is this country ready for this type of change? I sure hope so!

Mr. Alter,
Seeing all the comments regarding your article just have one question; When will you be resigning with class and dignity?

Mr. Alter has been part of the lynch mob that have literally ran Ms. Clinton out of town. Granted Barack can make a pretty speech, but make no mistake, it is the male dominated press that has made Obama "big man on campus" The tone of this affair is all too similar. A few weeks ago, I said I would vote for whoever won the nomination. But Obama's tactics, his apparent lack of respect for a woman that has fought for change her entire life and the heavy handiness of the press has me thinking otherwise. What is so fresh and new about Obama? By casting his opponent in a negative light and misrepresenting her struggle to bring about change, he is using tactics as old as politics and worthy of Trent Lott, Newt Gingrich, Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Bringing folks together? He is alienating half of the Democratic party. I don't call that change.

Who was it that defined neurosis as repeating the same mistake again and again, and expecting a better outcome each time? That is really what the Clinton campaign is doing in its post-Chesapeake primary strategy. Now Hillary defines Obama as the candidate who makes speeches, while she is the one who provides answers and solutions.

Why is Hillary embracing this new line? Its not that she has any great record of solutions or answers of which to boast, but rather that she wants to highlight Obama's lack of a legislative record. Once again, she and her campaign geniuses are making the same mistake they made when they decided to use the experience as their defining difference with Obama. Its not that she had much, but they sensed an opportunity to highlight that he had even less.
Of course experience not only didn't work. It backfired massively. By co-opting the experience tag, Hillary bought into the status quo and left Obama to be the agent of change. A candidacy that could have excited tens of millions of women, the first serious prospect of a female president, became merely a boring part of the status quo, shorn of its novelty.

Hillary's claim to be the solution-person won't work either for the same simple reason: She hasn't passed any...she hasn't walked the walk so now she cannot talk the talk.

As a first lady, Hillary's sole important legislative involvement came during the first two years of her husband's presidency when she sought to pass her ill-conceived health care reform, an effort that failed so miserably that it cost her party control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Between 1995 to 1997, she was largely absent from the White House, traveling the world, promoting her best selling book and helping to raise funds. She never attended strategy meetings and her only intervention in the singular legislative achievements of Bill's administration welfare reform and the balanced budget deal was privately to urge a veto of the former and to oppose the latter because it provided for a cut in the capital gains tax. Hillary returned to the White House in 1998 to oversee the defense to the Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment attempt, but the Clinton administration essentially folded its legislative efforts during those years and hung on for dear life. No portfolio of accomplishments there...

Her only actual legislation included one bill to increase nurse recruitment, another to aid respite time for Alzheimer's care givers and another to expand veteran's health benefits, a paltry output for six years service.

In her second term, she has spent full-time campaigning for president and has the worst attendance record of the three senators now still in the presidential race.

Excuse me, do you mind if we go ahead and vote down here in Texas? I'd sorta like the opportunity to cast my vote for Hillary and her healthcare plan and her experience and brains. Has the mindless mob decided the rest of us don't even get a say in this thing? Is that the Obama bandwagon's "thinking" now? Reminds me of the Borg on StarTrek, and win, lose, or draw, I don't think I'll join. As long as I still have a right to vote, I'll exercise it, and I'll do my own thinking, if you don't mind. And before you go disenfranchising the Hillary supporters down here in Texas, you Obamites might remember that we still have the right to vote in November and we've retained our brains.

Tonight's the night for Hillary. It's either kill or be killed.

NOBAMA!!!
