The handwriting is on the wall ~ Hillary is a shrill desperate candidate with weakening support but Obama is a rapidly building movement gaining believers every day. If she doesn't recognize this soon ~ she'll be trampled and humiliated by her own self serving arrogance and sense of entitlement: Allen L Roland

As we rapidly approach a world wide shift in consciousness by 2012 ~ it is imperative that America be led by a man who can cross race lines of blacks, whites and latinos and offer a new vision of hope versus greed to not only the American people but also to the world.

James Taylor, a race and American politics scholar at University of San Francisco, says Obama " presents an opportunity to deal with race in an unconventional way .... If an African American man can become president of the United States in the 21st century, then it tells us that the remainder of the 21st century represents all kinds of possibilities ~ because in his person there is a representation of both black and white experiences. He allows us to exorcise some of the demons we've had in our history of race in America."

Christopher Malone, a Pace University political scientist, writes of a recent display of the unconventional racial dynamic at Obama's recent appearance in Kansas ~ " He goes to the hometown of his grandfather on his white mothers side and points to a cousin in the audience ~ a 72 year old woman who is as white as any other Kansan. Could you imagine him accepting the nomination and standing there and bringing up his family members, Kenyans and white Americans, and saying ~ I am America, this is America ! It really seems like a perfect storm here "

A perfect storm indeed and one that could well wipe out the divisive race tactics of the Bushes and recently the Clintons as America finally recognizes and celebrates its true diversity and comes together as one wherein 35% of its population are now minorities.

Meanwhile there appears to be an air of desperation in the Clinton camp, who were expecting a coronation on Super Tuesday and instead met the Obama express which is still building momentum while a fading Hillary tries to bully her way to victory ~ putting her on a potential collision course with Democratic party leaders who are increasingly seeing Obama as the future of the party.

Sarah Baxter, London Times, writes on February 17th ~ " With her rival ahead in the polls and wooing her bedrock Hispanic and female voters, Clinton is trying to force her way back with a risky strategy that could split her party."

It appears the Clinton's will not go quietly into the night but Obama could make it all but academic with expected solid victories tomorrow in Wisconsin and Hawaii along with pre-election polls showing Obama with a growing edge in Hillary's self declared last stand state ~Texas.

DO-OR-DIE HILLARY TURNS BULLY AS OBAMA STARTS TO PULL AWAY

By Sarah Baxter / Times (London)

February 17, 2008 http://www.ufppc.org/content/view/7184/

Excerpt: " There is an air of desperation in Hillary Clinton's camp. The New York senator has embarked on a do-or-die mission to hector and bully her way to victory, putting her on a potential collision course with Democratic party leaders. It is a risky strategy that could leave her more isolated and unpopular as voters defect to Barack Obama, the new front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Obama, 46, is being tarred as a cultish, messianic figure who talks big but cannot deliver. Clinton, 60, is being driven into her last redoubts as white women, blue collar workers and Hispanics -- her core supporters -- have begun to peel away. In public she is adopting a feistier tone and a more populist message against the Illinois senator in a bid to stem her losses. ... Privately, her mood has darkened after losing eight primaries and caucuses in a row. The realization that without a series of huge victories in the remaining contests it is impossible for Clinton to win enough "pledged" delegates to clinch the nomination has sent her staff into shock."

How can America Live With itself?

Teilhard, I really liked your article on the Miracles of 911. Outstanding and I believe that. But I do not believe you on this one. Obama simply is not offering America any change. He does not support Impeachment because the issue of racism is still very volatile in the US. Getting the Impeachment to stick on the right and correct charges against the right and correct political murderer is the CHANGE. Without it, everything else does not matter, because we end up rewarding liars, and murderes. Is that what we strive for in America?

Americans are voting for a guy who does not support impeachment. Obama will not support Impeachment. Clear and simple. I have his email stating so. Impeachment is in the Constitution. How can he not support Impeachment when he is suppose to represent the Constitution?

I don't know about you and all this Hillary bashing, but I think Bill Clinton did a pretty good job when he was President in being the first President to tackle the National Deficit and putting the Government actually in the Black, before Bush stole the election and has now given us the largest deficit in US history. Why they don't remind the people of this, speaks volumes of the inaptitude of the Press, the ignorance of the candidates, and the winner of corruption.

Somehow I associate Hillary to that legacy because afterall she is his wife. I didn't agree with his continued sanctions and bombing raids of Iraq policy handed down by Elder George Bush, but he certainly did not increase the animosity and did work toward more diplomatic efforts instead of war.

The Impeachment leaves a telling embarrassment to him over a sex lie. It was done by Republicans, the insane do anything they can Republicans to tear down a person's integrity on issues that have nothing to do really with the Laws of the Land. Bills lie hurt no one physically, But Bush's and Cheney' s lie killed thousands.

Bills Impeachment has become really Hillaries issue. Am I wrong about that? I think when people see Hillary she reminds them of Bill and his sex lie. Now I don't know about you, but I think that was a fiasco witch hunt, and really a nasty attack. You know Hillary's plargarism charge is nothing in comparison to the sex charge and Impeachment proceedings that they did to Bill. Why then don't we face the music and fight this, by Impeaching Bush and Cheney? Clearly the opportunity is there staring us, glaring us in the face.

We Americans are ashamed as hell about that now, because in comparison of this present administration who has gotten away with MURDER. And they are not going after Bush and Cheney for Impeachment.?EXCUSE me but that is about as insane and crazy as it can get.

I am totally befuddled; in total anguish, upset, emotionally waked in head with eyes bloodshot and veins in my neck, and I don't smoke, do drugs, or drink alcohol. I can not accept or believe over the fact that Americans blame Hillary for Bill, or even accept the idea that Bill was somehow terrible for lying about sex in the oval office, when Bush clearly brings dead corpses in there instead. figuratively speaking. The innocent get convicted while the murderers run on the loose is America in a nutshell.

Bill's act was more of an act of love and Bush is more of an act of Hate and Murder, yet we Impeach Bill, and do nothing about Bush and Cheney and their War Crimes!!!! SHOOT ME IN THE HEAD UNTIL DEAD then! America is a National Psychiatric Ward of Imbeciles and terrorists on the loose.

There is something radically wrong and unsettling about this scenario. Instead of talking about this we all run to Obama for what? He is giving us a new direction to where? I fail to see it.

Impeachment is the core of the Constitution, and bringing about law to the Executive Office so the President is not above the Law, yet we continue to vote for Presidents so they can be lawless. It has been proven over time. All Presidents from Truman on down were clearly Lying SACKs of Sh*t, and we do nothing about it?

Whose fault is it? Dumb Americans. Now I can not get away with blaming all Americans, because we are so busy, and do not have the time to study in depth volumes of History. Nor can I expect average Americans to truly be rich in knowledge because of issues of poverty in getting into the right schools, or issues of students to realize that the stuff they learn is hogwash coverups such as when reading the 911 commission report lies, or the Kennedy Assassination report of lies. The internet has been only a recent available tool to give people the chance to study freely.

Yet we are left to think voting in Democracy is a legitimate endeavor, when in fact it is not. We have a better chance of thowing darts blindfolded to a target of names to pick the President than the present voting system,and the present educational awareness the people have in making clear decisions about voting. It's a farce.

My thinking is we need Impeachment and that need was needed years ago. Better late than never. We don't need Obama who does not support it. He is guiding America toward avoidance, and accomplishing nothing. It's like going to school to learn to be a doctor, and instead of becoming a doctor they become babysitters, with no understanding of the issues or responsibilites it takes to be a physician.

Sure people can have good speeches, and inspire hope, but without accomplishments or proven results how do we move forward. Obama just does not present that. People are voting for him, simply on a racism, as if to say well " I'm not a racist I voted for Obama" that's what we are suppose to do isn't it?

No we don't vote for the guy because he is black, we vote for the guy for what he has to offer to America. Clearly Obama offers more Republican ideals which is to not Impeach them, and to continue their War empire. And yet he is running as a Democrat?

If Obama supported Impeachment and ends the War I would vote for him, but he does not. We will end up with a Black President in the History books that will amount to a hill of nothing accomplished. So what, big deal. duh his legacy to America will be about proving the people were not Racists because he became Prez! How juvenile can we be?

The story is the story of how American History goes on. Will it be a story about how America awoke to the need for Impeachment and showed the world what is Impeachable and what is not? Will the story of American History show how one Impeached President overcame the odds when his wife became President to Impeach Bush for the right reasons, thereby setting american on course as being an example of Good Democracy to the world for people in other nations to see how serious the issue is in concern to government ideals and agendas.

Or will the story shift toward outerspace showing America again with the inability to Impeach because supporting the Constitution really is a GOD DAMN PIECE OF PAPER, as President Bush has stated? Thus being; vote for Obama and his worthless lies of CHANGE, and the ridiculous reason is that Americans wanted to prove they were not racists to the World body?

Somehow the American History Story is a worthless seller on the book market, and voting for Obama I am sure will keep it in its dusty box covered in cobwebs in the attic, while murder rages on outside our doors.

Obama give me a gun to shoot myself...I am totally disgusted with you!
