Clinton Running Late for Her Own Eulogy

"When you put your hand to the plow, you can't put it down until you get to the end of the row." Alice Paul

Hillary's speech was nothing more than more campaigning on behalf of herself, and was, just as it was said tonight on FOX news,4 days late. And BTW, Obama doesn't need her supporters, they are just saying that out of respect, trying to make her feel like she still has some purpose and usefulness in the party.

"Unity"? Hmmmm . . . where was unity when Clinton was so close in the tightest primary in history? Where was unity when she was being trashed by the media just for having the audacity to run? You'd have thought there'd have been some "unity," at least of ideas then.

I'm not planning to throw my lot in with either candidate for either party at this point. Yes, Obama is a mirror image of Clinton (since he copied off hers and Edwards' papers for nearly a year) on the issues, but I have to actually believe these are truly his ideas and that he has the experience ability to enact them. And I also have to believe that the McCain of the last few years is the real McCain. Can't figure out which one of them seems the most fake . . . but I am going to TRY and keep an open mind, and that's a lot more than I believe Obama supporters would have done if the situation were reversed.

"Unity" - phony slogan, for a dump concept that doesn't apply till one side has irrationally beaten down the other side relentlessly. Now they want "unity"? I think I'll just vote for the candidate I think will do the best job in the aftermath of the Bush nightmare. Perhaps that will be Obama, but it won't have a thing to do with "unity." The way the DNC has behaved, I have no affection for democrats right now.

"Hillary gave an excellent speech today but, I would like to have seen her acknowledge the fact that Obama won the election fair and square."

That would be assuming Hillary has class; she does, but it's all low.

Wonderful speech Hillary. Obama does not deserve your gracious support.
Your loyalty to your party is noteworthy, I am sure you will get at least 5 million of your voters to support Obama.
I will not be one of them, ever.

What continues to amaze me is the gall of the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Party leaders to just insist that Hillary had to throw everything she had worked so hard for all these months in the tank and get behind Obama IMMEDIATELY. Like it is her responsibility alone to unite the Party and make sure Obama wins in November.

The DNC and the Super Delegates were the ones who made CERTAIN that Obama became the party's nominee, so it would seem to me that it is THEIR responsibility to get him elected, not Hillary's.

The gall of these people is just absolutely amazing. If they need her help so badly, and need her to support Obama so badly, what does that say about the candidate they literally gave the nomination to? If they were so certain that he would be the best candidate against McCain, why do they care what "unelectable" Hillary does with her millions of supporters?

Lee you are a genius! I think they will never let her be, anything and everything BAD they will perceive and rant that it is her fault.
I wish she would regroup go independent as I have done and tell them to pound sand!

Senator Clinton is a cancer.
Luckily it got excised just
in time before it could do
ruinous damage to the nation's
body politic.

We don't need a liar and schemer in the White House. Hillary is both. And she is also an egotist Lord knows we already have two of those in the WH now, we don't need that either. Shame on all you folks who say that you would rather vote for McCain rather than Obama. Are you actually saying you would rather see the country go further into Hell rather than what? a) watch a Black man rescue it or, b) you think you are getting some sort of revenge on Obama because Hillary didn't get the nomination? Believe this, if the ship is going to sink (and it will if we stay in Irag another 100 years or if the president of the free world continues to lie on other countrie [Bosnia did not adequately protect us upon arrival, having us land under sniperfire], lie on the troops she wants to be Commander in Chief of!! (all those troops were just standing around in full gear with guns, but not prepared to protect us under the sniper fire, they were running with thier heads down as fast as the rest of us!!], and little girls [no one greeted us or gave us a reception [poor us!]. There WAS this little girl on the tarmac, amid all that sniper fire, but I don't know why she was there, probably just wandered into the area]). Yeah, that's who we need talking to foreign dignataries. Come to think of it, I probably would vote for McCain too if Hillary had gotten the nomination. He may be a bumbler, I may not like his policies, but at least he has integrity and is honest.

essence,

"Hillary gave an excellent speech today but, I would like to have seen her acknowledge the fact that Obama won the election fair and square."

I agree that she should have said the election was won fair and square. She has a problem with being honest, admitting wrong-doing or failure. That is probably why she can't heal herself (let alone a nation she's divided). Without healing herself, she cannot become better or achieve what she "says" she stands for.

I heard on the news yesterday some goofy Hillary supporter now calling for Obama to change his stance on healthcare -- make it mandatory like Clinton did. I think these people are crazy because that is the issue that sunk Clinton! Now that want Obama to take on Clinton's failed policy.

Stranger than fiction!

Obama '08/'12!

eyes wide open,

"His political initiation was birthed on the hype of his two semi-autobiographical novels and a plantation of bills handed him by Emil Johes to lubricate the road to the Senate."

Plantation? Oh, I see. Of course you trust Clinton and McCain more.

Obama '08!

Dawdles, waddles, stumbles....it's
all the same. A loser by any other name is still a loser. The broomstick must
be in the repair shop.

IF YOU LIKE THE IRAQ WAR, HIGH GAS PRICES, HIGH FOOD PRICES, THE OVERTURN OF ROE V. WADE, TORTURE OF PRISONERS, ILLEGAL WIRETAPS, NO WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS; TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY, IF YOU LIKE ALL THOSE THINGS, YOU'LL JUST LOVE McSAME

All of those who like this economy, who love this war, who love the price of fuel, who can't wait until Roe v Wade is overturned, and love the fact that the US is one of the most reviled countries in the world, you should all vote for McSame.

Senator Obama did not win the popular vote

Guess what, dummy. It is not about the popular vote; it's about delegates. Try to get that in your think skull.

Senator Obama did not win the popular vote and would not have won the delegates if DNC committee has been honest. SENATOR OBAMA IS A CANCER ON THE SOUL OF AMERICA. He is corrupted and dirty.

Sincerely admit that he won? Youve got to be kidding? Exactly what did he win? If they are so convinced that he won, they do not need her to say so. They intimidated her and forced her out of the race, and now they want to humiliate her? This should excite and encourage her supporters? Hillary's got more spine then the entire democratic establishment. Weak, weak men. Why else are they so terrified of a woman leader? Pfff!

Good post, CarolynW. I agree!

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

If Hillary isn't the VP, the party is missing its best chance on the real "two for one."

Hillary gave an excellent speech today but, I would like to have seen her acknowledge the fact that Obama won the election fair and square.

Eulogy for her???

No, the the eulogy is for the Democrats' chances of winning the White House in 2008.

Take this to the bank.
