Don’t be so quick to judge Obama on education, I think he gets it after reading this piece.

Actually, FYI, Barack Obama has taken on some of Hillary Clinton’s top policy people including members of her healthcare team and it has been speculated in the MSM that his healthcare policy may well morph into something far more like HRC’s. And I have said the same thing here myself. You will see his positions change on issues during the Dem Convention and his stance will take on some of the better points (and perhaps the worst) of the party on a whole and the other candidates.

As for raising kids in the inner city or urban areas. I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts and raised my daughter in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley. Everywhere has their ups and downs. I miss the rural life alot and I often wish I had moved back home when my daughter was still young.

There have relatively few comments here with anything negative about HRC since she conceeded.

“Docb” has never commented here before today.

Personaly I don’t think Rove deserves any thanks for coming to HRC’s defense considering his cronies and proteges were have a grand time attacking her. Believe me, Karl Rove doesn’t do anything with out a motive.

1) Your duplicate comment has been removed.
2) Hillary Clinton’s website is still actively seeking donations to help pay down her debt.
3) Whatever your huffy attitude is about, it doesn’t belong here.

For shame…

I understand your position and still check in. You do a great job and this site doesn’t seem to attract the many foul commenters yet there are a few gentlemen here who have an arrogance and meanness that I have chosen to live without

Oddly enough I ran into Karl Rove last week and thanked him ( even stranger) for coming to the defense of Hillary more than once. He said” I don’t understand it, its like she just sat back and let him have it” The last half year has been weird.

A couple of things…

I think the DNC let us down long before this election cycle — look back to ’00 and ’04. Regardless my being a Democrat doesn’t rest on the party apparatus but what I feel and think in terms of the issues that matter to me. I find nothing appealing in the Repub stance on issues, and thus I keep my loyalties within the party whether or not we have the candidate I would prefer.

And on that realm, to me, it’s a given that in supporting HRC in the primaries, I would follow her lead in the general election. If she had decided to hang on and fight for the nomination, I might well be behind that, but she decided to support Obama and work to get him elected and she did so because she believes he’s our best chance to get a Dem in the White House.

Hillary ran hard and came close and she broke barriers for women in doing so. Yes the party let her down, but so too have the let others down. I can’t fathom 4 – 8 years of McCain because I would have preferred Hillary to be the nominee and obviously neither can she.

I don’t know that commenters here have been all that negative… it’s been very quiet here since Hillary conceded. Many of our loyal Clinton folks have moved on because I made the choice to take my support for HRC and follow her lead in supporting Obama.

Love the lip balm name! Gas is killing us all and business too. Mine’s at a slow crawl this summer.

More than him though is the DNC, For the first time in my entire life I am not proud of the democratic party.

Will wrap up the project here in a week or two. The gas is killing me at 4.79 for regular and I heat my hot water with oil too. So between coming up with the money and waiting for my wonderful yet unreliable graphic designer we haven’t finished. The name is decided though- Seafarer’s lip balm.

Dark & Stormys sound good but personally I’m going with Pina Coladas!! Have a great 4th and glad your daughter is home.

PS Still here, just lurking. After Obama became the presumptive nominee, some here in this posting- commenting community were too arrogant and negative for me. I got a divorce once in part because he became a republican -listened to limbaugh on the way to work. Despite their democratic standing I’m finding these commenters attitudes just as offensive. Don’t know if I read it here but it has been rampant on the net regardless, the discussion or accusation of being or not being a real democrat. In fact , the whole real woman, real man , real african american….. trend of thought is shallow, small minded and just plain boring. So I stopped commentiing. I can stay home, chat with my kids and get all the insults I need!
