Although I have great hope for President Barack Obama, still convinced he is the candidate for Change and more optimistic than ever about the future of the United States, I am wary about any selection of a Clinton to the cabinet. Fact is that both Sen. Hillary Clinton and her husband used every venomous ammunition to take down their rival. They threw poison darts loaded with racially infected toxins in order to exert their entitlement. Together they seized every opportunity to malign his character. They branded him "inexperienced", "not ready" and ridiculed his message of "Yes We Can." The dirty tricks used in New York will not soon be forgotten. How Sen. Obama lost the primary on Feb. 5th was not due to anything other than foul-play. Sen. Obama was gracious in not pursuing investigations however, the fact he did not register a single vote in many Black election districts in Brooklyn and Harlem should resonate as fraud favorable to the NY senator.
But recall how even after she was fairly trounced, the New York senator held her delegates hostage, threatened the DNC for a fight over Michigan and Florida and disgraced herself by being a sore loser. I was at her New York rally when she refused to concede despite overwhelming figures against her. After she finally conceded, she remained elusive, exiling herself with her husband. When Gov. Sarah Palin moosed up her credibility, Hillary failed to comment. All of a sudden she became the dignified opponent. Coupled with that Hillary regularly went overboard in courting the heroic Sen. John McCain. Sen. McCain's heroism was never ever in dispute. Everyone regard him as such. Why Hillary felt more compelled to endorse McCain over teaming with the party choice is still an obvious action I cannot comfortably reconcile. As for Bill, it was not until the 11th hour, long after early voting began in Florida that he surfaced in mainstream to publicly campaign with Sen. Obama. If the transition team chooses Hillary to decide foreign policy as secretary of state, some of us will be deeply discouraged. Undeniably, both Clintons will assume the position and run awry probably going against the promises of the newly elected president. Hillary should remain in the NY senate. Personally I would like her to remain there until the next elections so that I can vote her into retirement. The "experiened" Clintons should quietly take a backseat by allowing Change.
