I Need Hillary!!

Sometimes, especially when I feel a little hung over from all the rigged media with regards to Hillary, I wander over to Youtube where I usually find something to pick me up. If I don't find anything among the people videos I go and play with the animals :)

But this morning I found a real keeper. This came out of this young woman's heart. It is not campaign inspired--that I know of. No one paid for it. She did it on her own, by herself, with only her own talent and good sense to guide her.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

And now look at this comment. Wonderful, no?

I will be voting for someone who I think is the most qualified, hillary!, and I don't care about the gender, the race, the age, or the political party... I VOTE WHO I BELIEVE IS THE MOST QUALIFIED TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY>>> AND THAT IS HILLARY CLINTON.

Congrats, Universal!

You're in for a real treat. I had a chance to see Hillary in person twice in Las Vegas- once on the night before the caucuses, once at the victory party on The Strip. I was SO AMAZED by how amazingly brilliant she is and how beautiful she is inside AND outside. She'll make a fantastic 44th President. :-)

I'm sure it will happen soon...

Which state are you in? If not now for the primaries, maybe you'll be able to see her at a general election campaign event.

And btw, here are some pics from those Las Vegas events in January...

I'm so glad to see she's continuing this interaction with real voters all over the nation. :-)

Blessings to both you and your mother.

There's a $250 breakfast with her in S.F.

maybe I'll go. It sounded like a lot but it would be worth it.

She just gets back up again and again. She's got real grit, this woman.

Now I'm REALLY envious!

Too bad you missed Chelsea though, she's a very clever young woman, she's got both brains and heart. (It probably runs in the family.)

Reading 'Living History' right now

She rarely mentions gender but once in a while it comes up.

What I didn't know about her until this campaign is her appetite for life, her willingness to try things, to put herself on the line and take risks.

Also the story of how her mother Dorothy Rodham was given away at age 8 because her own parents couldn't care for her, instilled in Hillary a sense of mission to give every child an equal opportunity at life. Her mother was accepted at Northwestern but could not attend because she couldn't pay for it.

I'm reading Carl Bernstein's book next. I know it won't be as flattering but I can handle it.

Chelsea is a testament

that her parents instilled in her good values. Chelsea really drives Hillary's enemies crazy because of this.

Re: Reading 'Living History' right now

What a wonderful thing Hillary is doing for her mother -- becoming President and helping other mothers and students.

She's an american original

a profile in courage. I'm gushing but this is how I see it.

I never opened my eyes to her until I "fell out of love" with Obama. I loved his story but found him to be too passive in debates. Then when he praised Reagan I thought something was off about this guy.

Hillary's SOLID performance in the debates made me look closer at who this woman really is.

Re: She's an american original

Catfish, have you written about how you fell out of love with Obama?  I would be interested in hearing more.  I so want Obama followers to wake up to him.

Re: I Need Hillary!!

God almighty. All that treacle used to frame every anti-Obama cliché and lots of nasty vitriol. But Obama supporters are "cultists".

Re: I Need Hillary!!

Just my quick thoughts your milage may vary.

It's has the potential to be a great video.  I'm not a Sen. Clinton supporter but I thought the pictures were moving (minus the shots at Obama).  My point, I think the best communication from both canidates are the ones were they talk about who/what they are and less about taking shots at the other.  This is just my personal observation, the Obama video's I like best are just about him and I think this video is great at it's core but the petty snipes makes it less than it "could" be.  

I think Hillary does her absolute best when talking about herself, her passion for people, her commitment to childrens issues and stays above the nasty stuff.  The nasty stuff just distracts from her good message and reinforces perceptions some may have (fair or not).

Like I said, your milage may vary.

Be well

Re: I Need Hillary!!

Even her worst adversaries come around. Read this article:

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsbur ghtrib/opinion/s_559659.html

How great is that for diplomacy and foreign policy when we are confronted with two wars and a bad economy. Talk about bringing people together. She does it so naturally, effortlessly and courageously WHEN GIVEN A CHANCE. To Obama supporters: if you shut her out with your own prejudices and predilections, it is your prerogative and your loss but don't let it harm the country.

Re: I Need Hillary!!

She's who we need in the White House.  She has what it takes.  Tough enough and smart enough, combined.  No whiney just perfect

Re: I Need Hillary!!

This is the sort of message that stops Obama's disinformation machine dead in its tracks. Many, many voters in every county, every precinct, and every state that have come to hear her with an open mind come away touched by her humanity, her grasp of the real issues, and her ability to offer carefully considered, collaborative, workable solutions to real problems. I first heard these comments three weeks before the Ohio primaries and saw the responses increase as people saw her in the debates and on SNL. Thanks for putting this out into the light of day. Hope to see it on the campaign website.

Expose Obama
Yes. We need to get the facts out there:
Obama plagiarizes other's speeches.  Obama's kindergarten papers reveal an insatiable ego.  Obama's drug use was worse than he admitted.  Obama singlehandedly is responsible for the debacles in MI and FL. Obama hates women. Obama hates America. Obama hates white people. Obama is secretly for the Iraq war. Obama hates kittens. Tell the world (while acting surprised when the campaign goes negative)!

video idea

I can't play videos. Is this one showing footage of her winning the previous elections? That would be a good one to make, anyway.

Maybe shots of the predictions against her each time, then shots of what really happened, the vote totals going up, cheering at her state HQ....

Re: I Need Hillary!!

She's a fine candidate. I used to support her. But this does nothing to persuade me to change back again.

Re: I Need Hillary!!

**...like I need a hole in my head.
 If your only criterion for voting for Hillary is the desire to have a woman in the White House, then hold out for one who has a little better relationship with the truth, and less familiarity with corruption.  Do you need her to teach you how to deal with a cheating husband?  How to outfox the FBI?  Get around lies she's told in public when the MSM finally questions her?  Perhaps it's how to more effectively take credit for the hard work of others.
The only women who NEED Hillary have a hell of a lot more problems than HAVING her will fix.

Re: I Need Hillary!!

God, it's not just me!

The combination of sentimentality and vitriol, the sugar-coated venom, is just creepily fascinating, isn't it? Like Dolores Umbridge, or reading Peggy Noonan.

Wonderful?

No.  Anyone even considering voting for McCain at this point hasn't been paying attention.

Re: Wonderful?

Hillary said during a campaign in NC.  "You can vote for Sen. Obama. Or you can vote for me.  But please don't vote for John McCain.  Think about it.  Don't do it."

Terrific Video

And lovely tune. As usual, linfar, your posts inspire. You're a good egg.

Sarajohn0205 will vote for MCCAIN

Hillary is McCain's best friend now.  It's time to forget about her narcissism, get real, and start uniting against McCain.
