Obama and Clinton Camp Hash it Out In (not so) Secret Meeting

08:09 H | Topics: US Presidential Race 2008

splitobamahil.jpgLast night, cable news was abuzz with the fact that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, was meeting with his one-time rival, Hillary Clinton. The meeting occurred in Clinton's Washington D.C. home, which the pundits labeled "an act of graciousness" on the part of Obama. The talking heads wondered: were the two meeting alone or were there more people inside the shaded house surrounded by dark windowed vehicles? Would Hillary ask to be Barack's running mate? CNN made the meeting sound more dramatic than a novela.

But in a dramatic twist, this doesn't mean that Clinton is closing shop, at least not completely. Apparently, she is only suspending her campaign. This means, that her statewide pledged delegates and district-level delegates remain her delegates, and that in some strange way she's still labeled "a contender". Clinton is expected to announce the suspension tomorrow.

WOW !!! APPARENTLY, HILLARY HAS FORGOTTEN THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING ATTENTIVELY, AND TAKING NOTES. CHANGE, IS INEVITABLE, AND THOSE WHO RESIST, WILL ULTIMATELY ONLY END UP DESTROYING THEMSELVES (OR INTEGRITY, IN HILLARY'S CASE). TO SAY HER REACTION TO OBAMA'S CANDIDACY LOOKS REALLY BAD, IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. LOVE, IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY. NOTHING LESS WILL DO.

YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER GOING TO CHURCH AS A KID, AND LEARNING BIBLE TEXT "DO UNTO OTHERS, AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU". SHOULD ONE TAKE A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AND AROUND THE WORLD, ONE WILL REALISE THAT THE PROBLEMS WE FACE AIN'T SO COMPLEX AFTERALL. BUT PROBLEMS CREATED, AS PERSONS SEEKS TO SATISFY THEIR OWN SELFISH GREED AND DESIRES. TO HILLARY I GONNA SAY, TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOURSELF, AND WHILE DOING SO, THINK LONG AND HARD. HILLARY, THE TIME HAS COME, WHEN WE MUST ALL JOIN HANDS AND HEARTS, TO RID OUR WORLD OF THESE HURDLES WE HAVE CREATED, AND THE TIME IS NOW. NEITHER COLOUR, CLASS NOR CREED SHOULD MATTER. WE HAVE TO LEARN TO CO-EXIST, AND WE JUST GOTTA MAKE IT WORK.THIS IS NO LONGER AN OPTION HILLARY. TOGETHER, WE MUST. GOD BLESS.
