<<<A less bitter question would have been whether he will make a better president than Hillary would have made but disappointment is the mother of bitterness. >>>

We both know we have two terrific people to be President of the United States.

We both know that Hillary is ready now.

As for Obama, he is only 47 years old. He has only been in the national limelight for less than two years.

Perhaps he is ready to be President right now. There is no chance that he could be less prepared than George W. Bush.

But there is no chance that he would be better now than he would be 8 years from now. In eight years, the American people would have had a better chance to get to know him and make a decision on him.

We would have had 8 terrific years with Hillary to be folowed up with what could have been another 8 years with Obama. The country would have been well served.

Instead, we have trashed Hillary and threw her under the bus in order to satisfy our immediate gratification needs and forced the country to make a decision on Obama when they clearly are not ready to make a decision on him.

Sure we can do a job on McCain like we did to Hillary (he is by far a much easier target) and hope that we can get lightning to strike twice and win a narrow victory against McCain.

Whatever the supporters of Obama may wish for, there is not going to be a blowout or landslide for Obama. The best we can hope for is a narrow victory. We will have to wait for results from Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania to win this thing.

Obama supporters are doing us a great disservice, both to Obama and to Hillary by this unfair trashing of Hillary by people in the Democratic party (Obama supporters).

And, oh yes, I am voting for Obama. I do not blame this potential tragedy on Obama.

I blame Obama supporters. They accused the Clintons of throwing turd, when in reality they were the one's throwing all the turd.
