It’s funny how Hillary Clinton brings up the job application analogy

with one comment

Senator Clinton is the guest of Keith Olbermann on Countdown tonight. She continues to make the race more divisive than she needs to, however this interview (obviously, given the show) didn’t spend time focusing on Barack Obama as unelectable. She did connect Senator McCain to our new 100 Year War and this tanking economy. He’s not going to be worse than George Bush, but he’ll be taking over when the country is already down and could deliver the knockout blow to the average American family.

Sen. Clinton pointed out a matter of her resume, saying consider this in her job application. If she’s ever lived in the real world, when you lie and inflate your resume, you lose the job. The media shattered her bold-faced lie about Bosnia with a 2-minute video clip, where Chelsea stands by her side as an 8-year-old reads her a poem. I don’t care about jokes of sniper fire, it was a lie, and the fact that you want to consider this a job application means you did something that would disqualify anyone else from any job.

McCain’s going to woo the black vote…in South Philly?

The New York Times reported on April 4th that Senator McCain plans to criss-cross the states in order to woo the black vote. He’ll have to do a lot more research if he wants to know exactly where to woo that vote. This man truly doesn’t have any concept of who we are as a nation.

“I know that I’m not going to get a majority of the African-American vote,” Mr. McCain said last week in a radio interview on ‘The Tavis Smiley Show’. “But I’m going to campaign all over this country. I’m going to go to South Philadelphia, I’m going to go to the Black Belt in Alabama, I’m going to go all over America, and I’m going to communicate, I’m going to talk with, I’m going to share the frustrations, the hopes and the dreams that the African-American community has.”

The Philadelphia Daily News busted McCain for this gaffe, making a strong point in an editorial, that McCain is flying under the radar. They go on to make a point I’ve been noticing about Senator McCain throughout this election season, he’s far too confused to hold the toughest job in the land. His confusions over race, the economy and just who we’re fighting in Iraq are just not what America needs to constantly keep perpetuating.

That’s the thing about Senator Obama of Kansan and Kenyan blood, he’s a non-racial candidate. I honestly believe him when he says he has no vested racial interests. You may see him as a black man or simply as an American. There is little doubt, however, that in the White House he would devote himself to all Americans, not just the privileged few embraced by the current administration.
