Sweet ...
Hillary Rodham Clinton is wise, competent and strong enough to lead America with dignity, forthrightness, anger when it has to be, love as it must always be, temperance as required and justice with everything. Hillary has been close enough to some of us during the years when she was running for the United States Senate and as Senator to make us know one or two things about her. Number one, she is smart as hell and number two, she will not take a back seat to any man, including her husband and does not believe that tomorrow will never come.

Hers is a razor wit with a meat, vegetable, corn and potatoes mentality. She is a farm girl without the hayseed. She is blunt, determined and funny in the same way that the good farmers that we have always known have wielded their craft.
Her mind is a razor blade that is always open for sharpening as she opens herself to the American people for the Presidency of the Untied States. One must believe that she means everybody.

It is also true that she wants the job as President of the Untied States. Is there anyone else who wants or deserves it? Yes, many. You could name them all: who wanted the job and who qualified from the short list of Democrats who made themselves available; other Democrats and Republicans and men and women from other parties who stood in the doorway of opportunity, but who did not believe or could not afford to rise to the task.
Mrs. Clinton chose to connect and to continue until the time came when the eleventh hour was at her door and she, at the twelfth hour with those who she needed and who needed her in order for us to make a new and better America by the simple process of governing correctly, had to make a choice. Now Hillary is running with our need, God’s anger and our power to vote.

For those who believe that Mrs. Clinton will be waiting around to make up her mind about whether or not she chooses us, there is a major problem. She has stood in the well of the United States Senate and said that she wanted us and on the floor of the Speakers Assembly of the State of New York and said that she could not do it without us. There is a lot more. It will come. There is time now, since guidelines have finally been established and commitments made.

We choose Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Democratic nominee for the Presidency of the United States of America.

3. One of New York's largest and most influential Black-owned and operated business institutions

So why do you think Amsterdam News didn't endorse Obama?

6. Yeah, just what we need another cold-blooded "hatchet" persona in the WH?
I wouldn't trust her and Bill to house-sit my plants and elderly dog, regardless of her ambition and high IQ. :(

People want GENUINE and TRUSTWORTHINESS in their President - neither Clinton demonstrates such qualities today.

8. "Now Hillary is running with our need,
God’s anger and our power to vote."

Slavefare and Nafta. And she loves outsourcing and wants more. I regret to inform you that the Yuugal corp has decided to outsource its vote to Edwards...............and maybe even Obama. God's anger will be reserved for rich senators who leave the disabled and homeless out of their stimulus plans.

"Hers is a razor wit with a meat, vegetable, corn and potatoes mentality."

When she realizes the people in my family would like to be able to eat like that, I may consider her. Her buddy Murdoch already sent my ex-wife's job to bye bye land. She is running with our need alright; running straight to her corporate overlords to sell it for whatever it was worth.
