Taking stock of Rocky Balboa and Hillary Clinton
-

During a campaign appearance in Philadelphia this morning, Hillary Clinton compared herself to film hero Rocky Balboa, the club fighter who unexpectedly gets a shot at the heavyweight champion in the 1970’s movie classic “Rocky.”
Clinton said that ending her presidential campaign now, as some Barack Obama supporters have called for her to do, would be as if “Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those art museum steps and said, ‘Well, I guess that’s about far enough.’”
According to an Associated Press account, Clinton also said: “Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing a fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up. And neither do the American people.”
Taking the Rocky comparison a few steps further, it’s worth noting that Rocky Balboa lost his first shot at the title, but came back to win it in Rocky II.
So does this mean that Hillary expects to lose to Obama (the Apollo Creed to Hillary’s Rocky) in 2008 but win the presidency in 2012? And will Hillary, like Rocky, continually re-appear every few years in progressively less successful sequels to the original?
Just wondering.

apparently there is further evidence that the church
attended by Obama subscribed to the philosophy of
“black power” in a book by a dr Cohen, who postulated
that african americans had the obligation to go after
whites who oppressed them..and in addition Obama
attended the Farakahn million man march…bringing
up the issue of whether he had any contact with Farakahn
himself..this could create havoc for him in the fall
with the republican attack machine portraying him
as something of a radical….
Last week, with the sniper fire, she was going for Rambo but instead, we got Pinnochio.
This week she’s going for Rocky. Instead, how about “The Tonya Harding Story”?
Hillary should stay away from inserting herself into movie themes before some little girl from Kansas drops a house on her.
Yes, it is possilbe for Queen Hillary of greater Bosnia to run up the stairs at the museum,she will not be running up anybody stairs to pay her bills. However, she will be running up the stairs because she will be under unbeliveable duress from sniper fire. Further, world renown doctors have completed comprehensive study of prolong combat stress it is called Clinton fatigue syndrome.
Rocky….Rocky Road ice cream, maybe. Because it melts.
Rocky LOST that first fight in a decision. And Stallone has endorsed McCain. Another boxing film would be better. “I coulda been a contender.” But she’s just a great pretender.
And that’s some platter chatter for Ed.
The Consultant is right. That church is all about black power. It’s a throwback to the years of the Panthers, the SDS, the Weathermen, and the SLA.
YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)
If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary’s than they had ever been before or since.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

DON’T BE DUPED !!!
Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.
But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).
I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.
Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton’s offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama’s place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

I agree, Obama is a charade, a circus without a tent. So, let’s elect him Vice-President ??????????? The logic is underwhelming.
Hillary has a sniper out today. Name of Jack Smith. Duck!
Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, who also can’t stay out of the gutter when bowling for votes. Hillary lies like a rug. Always. The one answering that call to the White House at 3 a.m. would be Bill Clinton to talk dirty with Monica or some other bimbo. Good choices for the Dems.
