Maxine Waters Endorses Hillary Clinton
Waters endorsed Clinton mainly because of her experience. In a statement Waters said:
"At a time when the economy continues to worsen and so many of my constituents are losing their homes and their jobs, we need someone with the leadership and experience who can step in on day one to tackle the economic challenges our country is facing," Waters said. "Hillary understands the daily challenges that people are facing and she will fight for them everyday she is in the White House."
Clinton is already the leader in California for the February 5th primary, but every little bit will help her right now as she finds herself behind Obama in the delegate race and without much momentum.
The state of California is very crucial in the race for both parties' presidential nominees because of the amount of delegates that the state's winners will take away.
February 5th, or Super Tuesday as it is commonly referred to because of the number of states holding primaries on that day, is shaping up to be a very tight battle between Hillary Clinton and her main, and arguably only, democratic rival Barack Obama.
Obama is leading in the total number of delegates at the moment and has a good amount of momentum heading into Tuesday, but this announcement could help give Clinton a head of steam heading into the big day.
While Maxine Waters does have most of her influence in the State of California, her position as an influential member of the Black Caucus, means that this endorsement will probably do good for Clinton beyond the California border. This may help to make the African-American vote more even between Clinton and Obama. Obama has been winning the African-American vote rather handily and it is noted as the reason for his big victory in South Carolina. For Hillary, this is some good news that is coming at just the right time. Not only does she get an endorsement from an influential group and congress member, but it will also turn the media coverage away from the results in California and towards Super Tuesday, which should help her public image in the week leading up to the big day.

Post a CommentHowdy dear American,
Away with Hill. Forget about this nonsense alogan "I have more experience". For people like Hill. can have experience to
do more evil for our families and children than any body else. Tears don't show(as she did in NH) any concern for people, rather it is her
weapon to demagogize the innocent and gullible voters. The victms? Of course, women.
I don't beleive that a woman of good principle would vote for a womanwhose dreams is to destroy the most important
cell in society - the family - and unfortunately she's already contributed to do so. Our daughters have been spoiled: bad behaviour, bully behaviour and many of them after a painful abortion experience have gone through the hellish experience of guilt and depression.
Please, seek God, fast and pray as the Apostles did in the Early Church to choose the right people. If we claim to be a "Christian" nation, why not to ask God's direction in doing such an important search? Haven't we realized that Clinton-like
Hey conrads, pleeeeease don't make this tragic mistake! Hillary will plunge this nation, unfortunately already in a moral chaos,
in to total desintegration. Stop with this dirty gender struggle she knows very well to play.
Unfortunately, many women are in a daydream/honeymoon with Hill's pro-abortion program and false hope of a better health
care agenda. Absolutely nonsense. If Hill were a person who would care for the American people, she wouldn't consent in
killing of millions of innocent lives, who had to pay the price to be slaughtered even before seeing the light of existence.
All she wants at the moment is power, in order to caarry out her dirty and deadly program.
Trust in God and choose someone who has the moral calibre to bring America to the knees and repent from our wicked ways.
God bless you brothers and sisters. Once again, stop Hill. to be the nominee, much less the presidential candidate of the US.
Our daughters have already been spoiled by her bad example.
Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, he traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars.

So, what has Obama done? Read on.....
In the Illinois State Senate, this meant working with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. He also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.
His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans
Hillary dupes blacks once again, when will we learn. Obama has more experience than Hillary. He was on the Senate since 95, Hillary was on it since 2000. Hillary shouldn't be rewarded for her stint as First Lady, a position she didn't have to earn. Not to mention the token public service positions that were only created for her as First Lady, give me a break. Hillary voted in favor of the war because she couldn't stand up to the Bush era Republican machine. She kept voting in favor of funding it until 2005 when the Repubs were kicked out. Obama voted against the war from day one, he also voted against the funding bills consistantly and yet we trust Hillary to end the war? Obama is a better unifyer which will bring much more swing and crossover votes than Hillary can.
Have no idea who she is, but that is one more vote for war in Iran and continued divisions of people as well as lies and corruption in the White House. Hillary's yes vote to the Iran Resolution despite warnings from China and Russia not to invade imperials us all. But the Clinton's can always hastily relocate to Dubai with their friends and hang out with Cheney and the Bush clan. I imagine Bob and Magic Johnson will have the funds to do so as well. Wonder what foreign power the Lakota's have behind their cessation...interesting times.
"I think Hillary and Obama should run together! Pres and Vice"
ABSOLUTELY!
Mistress Dolly
If she gets California, she's got it made. 52 delegates!
Interesting read !
We all should vote for Mrs. Clinton and put her in the White House. Of the three Demoratic candidates, she is the most experienced and most qualified. No matter how the Clinton-haters pick at her record, she's the one who've been fighting for the middle class and the unprevileged for all those years of her public life. What does Obama have? hot air and hype! That guy has no substance. Obama talks about change and clean politics. Well, for one thing, there's no clean politics. And change? Obama hasn't even started and he's already been tangled with that indicted slum landlord. I mean, come on, give me a break Obama!
