Dear Fellow Americans,

Our Great-grand Nation, the United States of America

is facing and will face very critical and substantial

"Challenges" in coming, months, years, and next

decade[s].

It is very essential as well as critical that we pick

our next

President keeping in mind the following criteria.

1. A candidate who has a clear and candid " Vision

and Mission" for our Nation.

2. A candidate with " Strong Character and Stable

Integrity" in-spite of adversity during our present

election process.

3. A candidate with sound and sustained

"Presidential Temperament" and " Judgment".

4. A candidate with little "Washington exposure"

and "real connectedness with people and future

generation".

5. A candidate who "Inspires us up" rather than

"Tears us Down".

6. A candidate not based on sexism,

racism,regionalism,and ageism and as well as “

attempts to bring us together “

In my professional, political and personal opinion,

the only candidate that meets the all above

characteristics and has shown constant and consistent

coolness, calmness, and connectedness { PRESIDENTIAL

TEMPERAMENT } is Senator Barrack Obama.

As an independent registered voter since 1980. I voted

for Carter, voted for Reagan, voted for First Bush,

and second Bush in 2000 and In the process last

interest in Washington politics and I stopped voting.

Getting disinterested and disgusted in our political

process and stopping voting that was a very bad

decision in any circumstance, particularly under

present circumstances.

This time we can not afford to stay on side lines and

let "Washington" stay the same.We can not afford our

Greatgreat Nation to become less than what we are,

what we were and what we can be?

We need to send clear, careful and candid message to

the world and some time 24 hour partisan divisive

media,

that WE the American people will set the agenda for

our future and America will be back.

These partisan media outlets are trying to deprive,

dupe, and derail us and our Nation in getting it right

this time. We not let it happen this time or in

future.

Some of these partisan media and pundits are trying

their best

to deny us better future and continue focus our

weaknesses and generate bitter future for us and our

Greatgrand Nation. { Our Greatgrand Nations people

are persistently and constantly subjected to this

Psychological Terrorism" without common people’s

knowledge. The

common and regular people do not have time to see

thru and sort thru this psychological terrorism

perpetuated

by some of these partisan media outlets. I find it

tragic, unfortunate, and sad [ Probably they do not

care about our Greatgrand Nation ].

We the Americans should not and would not to allow

Some these partisan media outlets psychologically

terrorized, traumatized and silence us this time or

any time in future.

I am sure that we will get it right this

time and elect Senator Obama our next President.

Let us remember that our Greatgrand is constituted of

family, friends,fellowships, faith, funds,foundation,

fun, and future with fairness and freedom and without

fear, favor, or failure .

We can not afford to lose any of above. Let us stand

up, be counted, save, build our Greatgrand Nation for

centuries to come and regain our world economic,

moral, and power status back.

God Bless our Great grand Nation and its diverse

people.

Our Greatgrand nation needs present and future

stability, security, safety,sustained progress and

restoration of our due status in this perilous Global

World at the all levels.

Yours sincerely,

OK, so below the guy says we need a candidate that:

1. A candidate who has a clear and candid " Vision

and Mission" for our Nation.- OBAMA HAS A CLEAR VISION BUT LACKS THE CAPABILIITY OR EXPERIENCE TO ACHEIVE THE MISSION.

2. A candidate with " Strong Character and Stable

Integrity" in-spite of adversity during our present

election process.- STRONG CHARACTER? SEE RESZKO, REV. WRIGHT.,LETTER TO NAFTA

3. A candidate with sound and sustained

"Presidential Temperament" and " Judgment".- OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE A LONG ENOUGH RECORD TO DETERMINE IS JUDGEMENT OR USE THE WORD SUSTAINED

4. A candidate with little "Washington exposure"

and "real connectedness with people and future

generation".- I AM 28, OBAMA DOES NOT CONNECT TO ME, HE HAS TOO LITTLE EXPOSURE TO MAINTAIN THE PROMISES HE'S MADE TO CHANGE GOVERNMENT FOR THE BETTER

5. A candidate who "Inspires us up" rather than

"Tears us Down".- OBAMA DOES NOT INSPIRE ME- HIS SPEECHES ARE FLUFF

6. A candidate not based on sexism,- OBAMA CALLS WOMEN "SWEETIE" IF THAT'S NOT SEXIST. WHAT IS.

Well, well, well. I'm glad the media is FINALLY evaluating the Clinton spin. I agree with your article. Hillary's last stand is nothing more than a self-serving attempt to win the popular vote for herself, not matter what the cost to the Party.

I entered this race with so much regard for the Clintons. I am ending it feeling nothing but disgust for them.

re: Clinton's Last Crusade: 'Count Our Votes'

Thank you for the article. As usual it is well thought out.

I would like to say that sometimes we need to look at the character and integrity of the person we are going to vote for. Khajawall puts his/her finger on the button. Under no circumstance can we say that Hilary Cinton has really shown presidential qualities. I am not talking about agressive behavior or lying or being stubborn. She has lagged behind Obama, in votes and in personality qualities. Thank you Col Akhajawall.

I turn now to R Dominiguez. I do not think that you have contributed to the debate here. You have just taken each point made by Khajawall and try to tear it down. That is the Hilary Clinton style!!! We do not need that in these serious discussions. Even people who have voted for Clinton, who also say they they will never vote for Obama (because he is black) have in the majority stated in polls that they feel Clinton has treated him badly. Even them!! So your input here has little value because it is just emotional. Clearly, Clinton has not matched to Obama in many respects.

Talking about experience, Dominiguez, do you really think that because Clinton was the president's wife gives her the experience to be president? Do you feel that being young does not make one qualified to lead? Do you have a hidden agenda? Because as a 28 year old person, you are condeming yourself to always being in the background, my friend. I know that when I was your age I was a leading and doing a very good job at that. I know many people who are young and "inexperienced", who are doing well managing vital organs of the American system. So I think that you should think hard again. If you do not like Obama for one reason or the other, then be honest and say so, but do not minimize yourself in the process. And for that matter do not bring down those bright young persons in this world who are often stifled because of age.

Clinton is now very desperate. She is showing a side of her character that is not at all flattering. She moves with the wind, rides the waves, or clouds, looking for an opening to gain an advantage. She is clearly not at all honest about Florida and Michigan. Does she believe in a fair competition or in twisting rules just to win? Even a blind man can see what she is trying to do. It is dishonest to say the least and she is therefore losing credibility and support. Look at Senator Bryd for example. A wise man like that chooses to support Obama. At his age he has seen many things and we must listen to people like him and Senator Kennedy. These people and more have seen what Obama can bring to America. That is why they are supporting him.

One thing is true; whether Obama or Clinton wins they will never be able to satisfy everyone. But at least let the choice be based on some real down-to-goodness honesty and clear thinking. Let it not be based on race, sex, age, heritage, influence, misrepresentation, slander and cheating. One thing is for sure, as this race moved on I see Clinton with less presidential material then Obama.

Count our votes, count our votes. The day Hillary signed the pledged, she said she could do without those votes in Michigan and Florida. Let's be fair, Obama signed the pledge also, but it's not Obama whose making it look like the voters don't matter in the election process. Hillary's trying to come across as the only one who wants to represent the rights of the voters after she knew full well what she was signing at the time. No one pulled a wool over Hillary's head when she signed the pledge. Hillary thought this contest was going to be a walk in the park and when it didn't turn out as she thought it would, the voters in Michigan and Florida are all that matters to her now.

A a rule is violated, those voters in Michigan and Florida cannot do anything about it. It is legal. But as the saying goes, 'It may be legal, but it is not moral.' A party rule overruled the state election law. There is an inherent fundamental and higher law in a democracy, the right to vote.

But Obama has missed the greatest opportunity to be the greatest American in history - to show magnanimity with regards to Florida and Michigan. By agreeing to a re-vote, he would have shown an act of forgiveness to those states and make him like M.L.King and Mahatma Gandhi. He even missed such opportunity to follow the example of Jesus who forgive a woman who sinned and said ' Neither I condemn thee, but go and sin no more.' This woman then became one of the most faithful followers of Jesus that she was the first person to see the resurrected Jesus.

Obama's decision not to agree to a re-vote will come back to haunt him this November. He has shown no forgiveness and kindness. Now those Hillary Democrats may apply the rule 'An eye for an eye. Vengeance is mine.'

I am so horrified at the thought that anyone can run for the american presidency, regardless of what that individual knows or knows not. With Obama in the forefront it reflects little or no admiration, respect and dignity for an office of enormous power. The system is wrong, it should be revised & changed - if you are likeable, it makes you electable, this is extreme insanity & ignorance. It contradicts every expectation for the intellectual application of world leadership & the cautious management of power.

As a long time Democrat, I am very confused and dissatisfied by the current system of Dem. party primaries. Sen. Clinton is the winner in popular vote as well as electoral votes while Obama is now well ahead in delegate counts mainly because of the caucus votes and his big winninng mostly in the red states as well as the failure of counting FL and MI votes by DNC. Overall, he has not won any traditional key battleground state as well as any major large state except his own home state Illinois. For the latest prediction for the general election in November participated by McCain, Obama or Clinton, which shows Obama is an inferior Dem. candidate for November election , see the website:

Hillary won't quit until the convention picks a nominee. That means her campaign goes on all summer. It means she will still be trying to raise money for herself and doubts about Obama in the name of party unity. I hope the Republicans appreciate the party unity she is creating for them. Hillary did not lose this primary process fair and square, she lost because of sexism. She lost because of the media. She lost because the caucus system is unfair. No, Hillary did not lose because the other candidate was better in every way, but because the votes were not counted properly. You can bet she will be telling anyone who will listen that shereally won. Yes, Hillary will do her best to unify the party. It just won't be the Democratic party.

All the way to the convention floor if that is what it takes to elect the BEST canidate for the President of these United States, Hillary Clinton!

The day after the Michigan primary Hillary was adamant that an "uncommited" vote should be considered a vote for Obama. It was necessary for the uncommiteds to be construed as pro-Obama if she were to claim a victory in that state. Her point was that Michigan voters DID have an avenue to vote for Obama despite his name not being on the ballot, and she still won.

Now?

She claims the uncommiteds should NOT be considered votes for Obama. Due to the new classification, she can claim to have more popular votes.

What changed? Was Hillary telling the truth then? Or now? Why the switch?

Hillary is asking Americans to adopt a willfully ignorant attitude regarding the methods used to tally election results. Far too many people can't volunteer fast enough to let her do their thinking for them. They've abandoned common sense for "Hillary sense". They allow their truth to be whatever Hillary tells them it is.

Forget integrity. These people need more self-respect.

Not counting the votes in Florida and Mich is unconstitutional. If I lived in that state, I'd file a lawsuit against the dem party. The only fair thing to do here is count all the votes. Since only Hillary ran in these states, she should be rewarded with ALL of the votes.
