As a long-time Obama Supporter, I'm switching to Clinton
I originally backed Kucinich, then Edwards, then Obama.

Now I'm switching to Clinton. Why? There are many reasons.


Maya Angelou wrote a poem for her.


She tells a good war story.


She's tough as nails and persistent as Ken Starr hounding Bill Clinton.


She put Edwards in his place when she told him on the Senate Floor that he should "Just stand there and look pretty."


She has winners on her side like Mark Penn who has architected a brilliant campaign strategy.


But mostly, I'm switching because...



IT'S APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!!



:P

2. P.S. Angelou did NOT write that poem for Hills...
She wrote it 30 years ago as an expression of
Black women...

If you're gonna pull the rug out from underneath us
use better scholarship..

5. LOL. I know she didn't. I didn't want to put a sarcasm tag in my post :)
All of those are things Clinton supporters believe or spin in the best possible light for Clinton.

10. Actually she did write it for Hilary.
It involves some complex concepts like time travel, folding space, and Ragnarok. But it is definitely all about Hilary and this proves it.

3. You forgot: she was concieve at a Civil Rights march in Selma, and owes her existence to Kennedys!
And she never knew Rezko was a crook, or Wright was an anti-American bigot, or that Jesse Jackson Jr compared Obama v Clinton to the OJ murder!

17. Yes, I saw that
My point is BO hasn't been on the national stage long enough to have much long-time support. In that regard, he's a virtual unknown.
