I love the Democratic party today…the liberal ideals, trying to provide for the masses of people, and having two (2) strong candidates running for President of the United States. But there also lies the problem, our Presidential Candidates are so strong that instead of showcasing themselves against the Republican Candidate, John McCain they are left bickering amongst themselves. We have Hillary Clinton who is using slash and burn techniques to attack Barack Obama. And then there is Obama who is trying to show himself as one of common background and intelligence running a positive campaign. But there are 2 problems with Obama’s strategy: 1: even though Obama is of common background (primarily single parent home) he is not of common intelligence and he should not have to try to dumb down that fact. Obama is a very intelligent man, and we as Americans should feel proud that someone of his background can rise to that (really does make me believe in the American dream). Problem number 2 is that its hard to keep on course with a positive campaign when you are being attack from the former front runner from your own party as well as the presumed Presidential Candidate from the opposing party as well.

But Obama is doing a good job and has to keep up with his positivity or his whole campaign strategy of Hope and Change in Washington will mean nothing…

Back to the topic: the Democratic Party needs to decide on a Presidential Candidate for not only the good of the party but the good of America. The longer the 2 Democrats stay fighting each other the harder will be to galvanize the party against McCain come November.

I was talking to a friend a few days ago about the Pennsylvania primary and why I can’t support Hillary Clinton. Here’s what I told him: I can’t support Clinton because I don’t feel she’s running for President to better the United States. I feel that she’s running to become the first woman President. That’s why she’s using Slash and Burn techniques to make herself look better.

So here’s my recommendation to the candidates: stay focused on the issues…stop going blow to blow against each other. Strike against McCain and show yourself as a true President. Act like it now!!! If you really want to show your commitment to helping our nation then speak about the issues…because that’s what we Americans really want to hear.
