Clinton Supporters: How Can We Not Support Obama Now?

Senator Obama has passed the necessary threshold to win the title of (presumptive) Democratic nominee tonight. So, for the record, the guy just won my vote and support tonight, too.
Congratulations and a shout out to all of Obama's supporters and to the Senator from Illinois, himself. Let's move forward with the task at hand; let's work together and seek unity to kick some Rethug and Neocon ass in the Fall. It's time! In fact, it's urgent and way overdue.
I ask all the Clinton supporters reading this: How can you have any questions about what you're going to do now? Are you kidding me? Are you "insane?" Ask yourself these questions:
Do you want four more years of alienation and disrespect from almost every other country on the planet?
Do you want four more years in Iraq?
Do you want four more years of out-of-control healthcare costs, with more than 40 million Americans uninsured?
Do you want four more years with the U.S. being somewhere around the 30th best country on the planet when it comes to infant mortality?
Do you want four more years of challenges to Roe v. Wade?
Do you want four more years of Republican control over our Supreme Court appointees?
Do you want four more years of a Judicial Branch that's more interested in political thuggery than real justice?
Do you want four more years of virtually nonexistent gun control?
Do you want four more years of irreversible depletion of our ozone layer?
Do you want four more years of lip service--and nothing else--for substantive federal support of alternative energy initiatives?
Do you want four more years of obscene oil industry profits?
Do you want four more years of a financial services sector devoid of regulatory enforcement?
Do you want four more years of welfare for the rich?
Do you want four more years of the rich getting richer while everybody else struggles to pay the mortgage, to pay the rent and to put food on their table (if they are even able to do that now)?
My vote for the campaign slogan for the rest of the year? Paraphrasing a quote from Albert Einstein--the greatest thinker in many generations--who said it best:
"The definition of insanity: repeating the same action and expecting a different result."
If you're reading this diary, I have to ask you: Do you want four more years with a Republican in the White House? Are you insane? According to Albert Einstein, the answer is: "Yes!" Yes, you are!
