Hillary Experience




There all kinds of experiences but the only thing that matters is how they help us to make decisions. This is for Saymama who still clings on to the Clinton Spin of 35 years experience and the actual lies about negotiating in Kosovo for the opening of the Macedonia border also bringing peace to Northern Ireland. Whatever happens she is a shameless power addict who would stop at nothing to get into the White House . There is no position too low or statement too mean so long as she gets her desired goal. She has mortgaged her dignity and torn the rags of integrity left over from her husbands Presidency in an attempt to get into power. It remains to be seen whether the US will choose hope over cynicism and transformation over transaction.

Iowa and Elections

Whatever the polls say it is clear that I have posted in support of Senator Obama not because he is black or of African descent but for the possibilities of an America truly living for a greater good, grounded in its recognition of a common humanity and humbled by the interdependence of nations. Senator Obama exudes and authenticity that is both open and passionate. He represents hope that is beyond the limitation of contrived policy. His is an aspirations beyond partisan politics, vision beyond the artificiality of national borders. He is of course limited by his constituency in both party terms as well as nationality. However he more so than others recognises and exercises his judgement accordingly for complexity of our times. His positions are a congruent exposition of his character hence the truimph of his judgement on Iraq, Pakistan et al over so much touted experience.

He is Hope and Senator Clinton is Inevitability. I cannot see senator Obama winning because the fear of loss that has become the calling card of the psyche in the average American will not allow for them to look beyond their insecurity towards their possibility. The establishment of both parties thrives on division and conflict and the citizenry are addicted to the idea of winning too much to recognise that what is important is success which often times is abundant enough to allow for both competition and cooperation. I am sure that Senator Obama has run a good race and I hope he has become the warror of light for an American renewal but he will unfortunately not become the president.
