Quite a Challenge Set For Clinton at an Obama Rally
in response to reader comment: I agree Clinton and Obama should join forces

I really hope the powers that be see these posts.
The Democratic party needs to look at the long term prospects. We could wipe the floor w/the Republicans for 4 terms and/or more IF we would get our Party Straight! If Clinton & Obama join forces they would be UNSTOPABLE. Not to mention that the actual progress made (not just empty promises) would ensure that the Democratic party rules for quite some time. Instead of looking at short term fixes or individuals via comparisons, unite! Show unity & by doing so you show strength.... Strength that the communities and the people wont be able to ignore. It's so simple. Unfortunately the only weakness I see right now are EGOS... it's been the downfall of the Democratic party for some time now, if not always. The Republicans dont have to wear their egos on their sleeves cause their party is founded on egotism... The Democrats are suppose to be humble... the peoples politicians who have not lost touch with the common man. We this common man says Clinton & Obama need to join forces and become an unstoppable miracle! Let Clinton preside for 2 terms and then Obama should be seasoned enough to take over the reins. Being in political circles myself... being a good speaker such as Obama is, doesnt make you presidential material. He is very naive about how things work... Hilary does not share his idealism... WHY? Because she has seen how things work... how they REALLY work. That's not to say that idealism is bad, sure make changes, get rid of the corruption, take the gov't back to when tings were simple and special interests didnt rule the White House... but people are naive as well and forget how the world goes round.... and when some bump comes along they tend to crucify the person in charge. Obama is not hardened enough to deal with rejection by the people if he ticks them off, sorry but Hilary is.
