Yavin4's JournalGo for it Hillary!!!
Make history twice! Win over the Bernie voters! Bring the party together! Set a new course for America! This is your VP!
Yes, in the 2008 Dem primaries, I posted harsh things about Hillary.
It's easy to find them and re-post, but here's the thing. That was in 2008. That was before she gave a speech at the convention endorsing Obama when she could have burned the house down. She got over it. Obama got over it, and I got over it. It's called being a mature, adult human being. Why should I carry around hate when the guy that I supported forgave her and welcomed her into his cabinet. In fact, she has been more supportive of Obama since 2008 than Bernie Sanders has.
Forgiveness, reconciliation, learning to overcome differences in order to work together, these are all good life skills to have.
It's a funeral. People say overly-nice things at a funeral.
Seriously, you want Hillary to bash Nancy Reagan on AIDS at her funeral? In an election year??? Really?!?!?!
Nothing can break this cat's concentration
Why wasn't Ted Cruz invited to the State dinner with the Canadian PM?
Very rude of Obama not invite a prominent Canadian-American to such things.
If you really want to know Donald Trump, listen to this Cracked.com podcast

Americans May Be Too Religious To Embrace Socialism
If you want America to be more like Europe, you need a cultural revolution, not a political one. For example, if we went to a Single Payer healthcare system, you would have to convince large swaths of the American people to accept that the government would pay for women' reproductive healthcare. That's a big hurdle to overcome.
The conventional wisdom is that the individualist, evangelical style of American religion is a strong antidote to socialism. If faith alone can lead you to salvation, then efforts to reshape society are beside the point. But the animosity between them has been more pointed, especially regarding so called “Godless communists” who portrayed religion as the “opiate of the masses.” In these data, those who agreed that social problems would be resolved if enough people had a personal relationship with God were 20 percent less socialist than those who disagreed. A worldview that pits faith directly against collective action explains clearly why collectivist efforts have traditionally foundered in the U.S.

If Obama was a cynical S.O.B., this is who he'd pick as his SCOTUS nominee
Fed. Circuit Ct Judge Maryanne Trump Barry!! Submit the Donald Drumpf's sister and watch the GOP implode.

And she's pro-choice:

Obama should do this, and (in the voice of Jules from "Pulp Fiction"
double-dog dare Mitch McConnell to deny a hearing to the sister of their party's nominee for the presidency.
And do it a month before the Republican convention, and watch the blood bath.
Trump's lead over Cruz < Hillary's lead over Bernie in pledged delegates only.
But somehow, Trump is well on his way to the nomination, but Hillary is in trouble?
