It's not fair to say that because then you'd have people claiming that all the black people out there are only voting for Obama because he's black and that surely isn't the case for me.
I was originally rooting for Hilary all the way and didn't feel Obama had much of a chance nor was I interested in what he was saying often. Then came Obama's Iowa win and heard his speech afterwards and a real sense of pride kicked in seeing him do so well. It's the first time the thought jumped into my head about the possibility that an African American could become president. That very speech is what got me to start paying attention to politics. Even then, I would've still been completely satisfied if either of them him or Hilary won.
As time passed though and Bill Clinton started to get out of line during the New Hampshire Primary with his fairytale comment (that one really pissed me off) and Hilary also began to show a side I wasn't too pleased with and then the cry to get pity moment really made me sick. On top of that she insulted Iowa voters by basically saying that their vote doesn't mean much because they've never mattered in deciding a president in any general election or something like that. It struck me as extremely bitter and really made me think much less of her as a person. Smile and shake peopls hands, act as if you care about what they care about and then have the audacity to insult them the next minute just because you didn't like the outcome?
Then the sour grapes lawsuit that was filed on Hilary's behalf knowing full well that her and her campaign had something to do with the teacher's association filing that lawsuit during the Nevada caucus to prevent the opening of casinos for voting. No lawsuit would've been filed had the Culinary union endorsed her instead of Obama. Then came accusations of voter suppression against the Obama campaign in Nevada showing that just in case she lost she already had an excuse prepared.
Then came South Carolina. Between the blatant race baiting, the insulting Martin Luther King comment, which I strongly believe she meant every word of, and attempting to accuse Obama of playing the race card when he clearly hadn't along with all the other antics that went on during that period like the radio ad suggesting that Obama was in favor of ronald reagan's policies that were in no way good for african americans...
Oh I completely forgot about the outright suggestions to Obama's past drug use while someone was introducing Hilary and she didn't feel it was proper to apologize considering what he said about Obama while introducing Hilary Clinton.
She went way too far there and lets not forget the debate where she tried to lay into Obama and Obama showed some fight owning both her and bill oh and jessie jackson won south carolina twice according to bill clinton.
It's after all these things that I decided there was no way in hell I could ever support this woman. She had went way too far in her efforts to win and was showing what a rotten person she truly was.
Every piece of criticism she started receiving was of her own doing. She caused it to happen. It was also obvious that she clearly wasn't quite as inspiring as Obama was. She doesn't didn't come off as being nearly as likeable. The media was just being truthful in that sense. The pantsuits aren't anything that anyone should've taken seriously.
Pantsuit jokes don't cost her votes nor should it be insulting for a grown ass woman. I don't recall hearing much marriage is a sham stuff around the time she and her husband singlehandedly were dismantling her campaign.
Edit :: LOL Deus Ex Obama was so quick on his feat with that one. Hilary with the loud laugh was clearly trying and hoping that Obama would end up looking stupid right there and she would disprove his entire campaign message and he completely turned it on her.
Shame she didn't realize Obama was being 100% serious :lol
Famous Al Gore kiss.
