Martha…WOW!!! You are certainly passionate about the Obama / Clinton debacle and I LIKE THAT!
There is much truth in what you say and time will tell how the rest of the populace is going to treat this. I too am angry but I am also sad because here we have a ‘once in a lifetime’ individual, Obama, standing at the crossroads and a very special time in America’s history.
It is kind of like the adage…when the student is ready….the teacher will appear.
Well, we are going to see if America is truly ready for a man like Barack Obama.
One thing is for sure….we certainly need him!
