: Maybe Hillary can unite these Good Old Groups under a banner of Machoism. But Barack may just win in a landslide bringing along on his 'movement' coat-tails a vast armada of liberal democrats into both houses of congress. Is turn around fair play???

Obama is an invention. Don’t get me wrong, I admire him, he is high above the rest, but he’s not furnished enough.
Obama’s campaign work has been devised, scripted and operated by others. Obama could not believe it when he started getting such attention after Oprah, you can rewind and see it. Right now, as I see it, he is acting his part. He is good, absolutely good, I’d give him this… talking. But who knows how is he going to perform? It is unconscious to put all the money on him. With Hillary, there is the solid proof of her positions, of her passion, of her preparation, of her experience, of her deeds, of her roots, the solid proof of her team. And still, being as strong as they were already then, they got pummeled on her ’93 health plan. It is necessary to have a force, on the presidency. Obama is precisely not, a force.
I love Obama, do not get me wrong, would be great to have him representing US, and would do a lot to straight things up like the absurd racism that still contaminates everything. But it is my country on the line, I cannot take chances. Obama would be obligated to act black. Obama can be manipulated at will, practically, as I see it. If he falters one, he would get hit on the knee. He has no loyalties developed. Who are going to support Obama? The Blacks? They’re busy surviving, they cannot fight. The Kennedy’s? They are nobility, they’re there just for the looks. Obama has just “hope” behind. Let him go as VP, let him work steady connections up, let him forge lifelines. Imagine O’Reilly, Matthews, Limbaugh, how would they deride Obama down, it’d take these spineless 2 weeks to establish such feverous hate towards Obama, that Obama’s whole presidency would disintegrate. And what would we got left with? With other Republican era. God forbid.
So, it is not Obama, it is the Republican machine and their lackeys-the media, pushing Obama up, undermining Hillary, undermining the Democratic Party, and splitting the country. Gain for them Republicons. It is clear like a whistle. Why refusing to see it? Beats me.
