The Clintons and Joe Biden

The Clintons and Joe Bidden and Michelle

Ok let’s get to it

Before I start babbling about the obama's

Let get the Clintons over with

First Joe Biden

What does Obama see in him besides his exp?

He is a reality check

And a perfect illustration of how black folks think

I know that Michelle had a Big part in choosing Biden, Barach trust her instincts, you can see it if you watch them for just a moment.

Joe Biden is the kind of folk that black folks get on a personal level.

There is some thing about personal tragedy and struggle

That is universal and that makes folks

Well Real

And you can just feel how a Guy like Biden would fit in closely with the Obama’s

And if you watch Joe Biden with Michelle Obama you can see that in him she sees a father figure and the respect is mutual.

Ok the Clintons

I was so pissed at the Clintons

But I am black and black folks forgive

That’s what we do

There is logic to this

Those that have hard lives

Understand misfits and their madness

That’s what made bill Clinton one of us for so long

The way he looked at you

No condensation and Bill Clinton likes blacks for the reason that so many of the white elite do

For a dose of reality sanity and mother wit

Anyway

Yea the Clintons pissed me off

And not for the reasons that many would think

I understand the hurt feelings

Esp. of Bill.

I mean here is a couple that dedicated their whole lives

To the struggles of others.

Here is the first black president as Tony Morrison said.

And at the end of the day,

His wife wound up losing out

To the Fruits of their labor.

A black guy

On top of that

Bill, whose comments were nasty, wound up losing much of the respect that the black community had shown him. Bill Clinton at first glance has become what many blacks always feel like whites become.

White when the chips were down …….he turned white again

Now I don’t believe this…about bill page he just had a slip…

I also think that Bill was as caught as off guard as I was and as so many in the Black Community were………we didn’t believe. ………Either

At first

So forgive Bill,

Obama needs bill Clinton.

We need Bill Clinton no one is smarter

Or can get more done

Bill Clinton is the best public speaker

Since Martin Luther King

So Bill

Please help Obama he needs you.

Bills speech was amazing

As was Hillary’s

Hillary

Look

I get the woman’s movement part

Ok

Up to a certain point.

You can’t believe in change for any one if you don’t believe in change for every one.

But you can’t pull another person who is struggling down so you can get up the ladder either.

And you have got to understand

That many in the black community and elsewhere

Have a hard time understanding

How white woman can complain so much

I don’t mean this meanly

It’s just a fact

But the woman’s movement has always had a funny relationship with the black community and with black woman

Anyway

I have gotten into enormous fights with friends over this issue.

But I get it.

And I don’t mean any disrespect to the woman movement

But there are also so many egos involved here

And if the woman’s movement………I should say Hillary’s

Sisterhood of the traveling Pants suits.

Colorado is the first state to adopt an amendment granting women the right to vote. Utah and Idaho follow suit in 1896, Washington State in 1910, California in 1911, Oregon, Kansas, and Arizona in 1912, Alaska and Illinois in 1913, Montana and Nevada in 1914, New York in 1917; Michigan, South Dakota, and Oklahoma in 1918.

But for black the voting rights act was what like 1964

Again no disrespect

And Hillary did an amazing thing

But

I just wish they shut up for a minute

And look at Michelle Obama

They would see their struggles coming to fruitation

Just as I can see mine.
