Clinton Fans Form 527 To Tackle Gender, Race
in response to reader comment: The answer to why people like Sen. Obama.

I believe that Obama is more likeable because of his personality and ability to laugh and include people in the process. He is charming, but besides that; both candidates policies are almost the same without a few differences.

Now, what is really important to me, and really hurts my very being, and turned me off completely from Hillary is that she seems to be making this a feminist movement. This is not simply about being a woman. Just as it is not about being an African American, and as one, I would not vote for Obama because he is black.

However, after what Bill said to create the pain in the black culture which spreaded from Carolina through out the black community in the world, it was the thing that made us back off of the Clintons, regardless to how much we initially felt that they had been there for us more than any other presidents. We were willing to over look the fact that Bill created shame and pain in our homes with the sex scandal, yet, we stood behind him.

Then, on yesterday after being read what one of her hispanic supporters had to say about Obama, which was very racist I might add, she did not denouce or reject their comments. She did not even acknowledge the fact that if in fact the person had said what was read to her, she would reject or denounce it. She only put fuel on the fire. I am sure it will show up in the polls in Texas on Tuesday. She just made every black person eligible to vote that would have stayed home, come to the polls to get her out of the way.

I have just seen the same tactics over and over again from this campaign. However, Obama has pulled some as well. I feel he had to do that to rebutt the negativity thrown at him from the beginning.

Now, the new news of threathening to sue Texas, this is basically the last thing that has really taken away all my respect for the Clintons, too many lawsuits when things don't go their way! I am done.

I will vote for Obama, he can't make any worse mess than was made in the 90's or the 2000's. They have had their chance to make the changes necessary and made many but that was Bill. I saw him on camera just yesterday not being able to look at the crowd for a few seconds because he was looking at the young lady climb the stairs, he was staring at her butt. This means that there has been no change, he will only bring scandal to the white house again. Take a look for yourself at the beginning of his rally or whatever he was having.

No thanks,
