I won't belabor what everyone already knows: Hillary Clinton won the 2008 Democratic Primary nomination to be the Presidential candidate. Party bosses and media had other ideas, and appointed Barack Obama, who ran an abusive character assassinating campaign against Clinton.
He still lost the popular vote, and his divisive and almost sociopathic strategy was reminiscent of the 8 years of Bush divide and conquer, triangulating and "with us or against us" ultimatums.
Tonight, as the final speaker on night 2 of the DNC convention in Denver, Hillary presented a speech which should put to rest the slanderous innuendo about her allegiance and dedication to the Democrat Party, not to mention, reiterating the goals and future ideals for the Americans, which have been part of her daily avocation during 35 years in public service.
Her entrance to the stage was preceded by a short video, narrated by her daughter Chelsea, of her humble family beginnings, her 60's era social change participation and her youthful and loving gaze at her then new husband, former President Bill Clinton.
The crowd at the Pepsi Center welcomed Hillary, on their feet in a rousing and foot stomping and yelling episode which she was almost unable to break in order to start speaking. The visual was a sea of Hillary signs.
Her words were mixed with humor and addressed the need for the party division to heal and the endorsement of Barack Obama was the focus of her high minded, witty and tear jerking speech.
Her words were enough to almost convince the most ardent Hillary supporter to unite for defeat of the GOP. Her speech reminded people what they are supporting, not her, but what she stands for, the issues near and dear and now critically unattended to for the past 8 years.
The media pundits for Obama, following the speech, once again raised the divisiveness as they criticized her for "not refuting her campaign ads or comments which questioned Obama's experience". They are calling for Clinton to essentially offer an apology to Obama for the campaign, for being an opponent, for raising any light to his weaknesses.
The theme continues to be 'blame' Hillary for Obama's shortcomings, and whatever unifying feelings that were present immediately following the speech, vaporize the minute Obama's pundits open their mouths.
HERE IS WHAT DEMOCRATS NEED TO HEAR FROM OBAMA, IN ORDER TO HEAL THEIR ANGER AND MOVE ON:
1. Obama needs to ADMIT, ACKNOWLEDGE his abusiveness during the campaign, the slurs, innuendo, mocking and alienation aimed at lower and middle income, blue collar, and elderly, the very demographics required for any Democrat to secure the White House.
--Needed refutation from Obama for the character assault on Clinton, and the
Democrats who support her:

--Needed refutation from Obama for the character assault on Clinton, and the
Democrats who support her:
"..She is the culture of corruption... part of the old establishment and
experience we must turn the page on.."
"..A vote for Hillary is a vote for Bush, McCain, and the culture of
corruption .."
2. Put duct tape over the mouths of the entire Obama pundit batallion force. They can sit at media stations and look sweet, but silent.
3. Obama needs to convince me why he is was worth an appointment for the post, nullifying party rules and principled democracy, and do this without using the word, McCain. One million more people chose Hillary over Obama. It is NOT Hillary's burden to shift my support from principled democracy, over to unprincipled obamatocracy.
Obama IS the problem, not Hillary. The overt, blatent and insulting hypocrisy permeating the Obama campaign and the DNC party leaders endorsing this corruption, while talking change and admittedly courting the contingiency of democrats founded in the value, 'ends do not justify means', that were ousted by the popular movement, rings hollow.
Yet, the media asked, 'Do you think she will mean what she says?' prior to her scheduled appearance on stage.
