Loyalty Defined Down

I will have serious reservations about backing the Clintons in future contests because of this one. This article in the New York Times isn't what pushed me over the edge, I think their behavior over the past few weeks has been more the cause of that.

I'm really sick of politicians who define loyalty one way, towards themselves, but don't give back. It would be easier for the Clintons to keep friends if they acted like friends; friends of the party, friends of the middle class, friends to those who helped them, supported them, but have had differences of opinion.

If they took these things more maturely, if they accepted that they weren't entitled to win every contest, and that letting a few fights go might help keep them in the running for future candidacy, they might not have screwed themselves so royally. As it is, now, they've turned a huge portion of their party against them. What the hell now makes them the better candidates? Obama's not going to punish people for supporting Clinton. They won't be so forgiving, but as they decline, Obama's open arms are going to look a lot more welcoming than their turned backs.

New Video: Obama's response to the "Bitter" controversy

I went off walking the dogs after seeing this with a sense of hope I've rarely had in the last few years. I have rarely seen a candidate I've support so quickly and powerfully demolish that kind of attack, and so elegantly.



I hope to do my part to get as many people to see this as possible. The "bitter" controversy needs to be shot down as quickly as possible. It's good to have a candidate who makes support this easy!

Found a video in this comment on DailyKos that should interest you all out there.



Word is, Barack Obama has refused to do this Pennsylvania, just like he refused to do it in South Carolina. In fact, that was the news in this Kos Diary.

This is one more reason why I like Obama. It takes a lot of balls to refuse to kowtow to the system, to not play the machine game.
