I was splashing around in Lake Michigan last week when the realization hit me like a wave — I was wrong about Barack Obama. I should have voted for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary three years ago.
At the time of the primary, the decision seemed easy. I saw in Obama the same qualities Jack Kerouac saw in Dean Moriarty in "On the Road." He was 'something new, long prophesied, long a-coming."
Hillary was not new. She represented the second act of "Billary," and I had tired of that play long before it ended its eight-year run.
So I voted for Obama in the primary and then again in the general election. I even left the election night party at the Pageant — a party with an open bar and filled with state legislators, union guys and other acquaintances — to go to the Chase Park Plaza, where the Obama people were celebrating. I knew almost nobody at that second party, but I was there when the networks declared that Obama was the next president. People cried and hugged. I got teary myself. A black president. The times they are a-changing.
Indeed. They keep getting worse.

Presents a wonderfully accurate and graphic image of exactly who and what the dem/lib/prog/pops are, no??
LOL!!!
Yes, accurate and graphic. I love it!
In the words of the LOLCats, “You has a talent”.
[ Letmee get this straight ... You voted for Obama to prove you weren’t a racist, and now you want to vote for Hillary! to prove you’re not an idiot? The Stupid is strong in this one ... ]
LoL....
I thunk I shoulda been in advertizing!!
“I should have picked Hillary over Obama”,
Oh NO, then America would not have shed it white guilt for slavery , or something.
Were obammy white he’d have NEVER won,
Yes, I believe they are. Principles should come first. Although it would be very satisfying to beat the Dems at their own game.
I like West a lot, but I think he is too intemperate to be President. His attack on Wasserman-Schultz was over the top. He could have defended himself in a much more convincing and controlled manner. I hope he doesn't lose his cool at some point in a way that does him permanent harm politically.
Obama realizes the wind has changed on deficits and spending, and at the least he will play act like he agrees looking to re-election and poll testing everything he proposes./bingo

Should Hillary Clinton Challenge Obama in the Primaries?
Could anyone beat Obama in a Democratic primary contest?
With a new poll showing that 32 percent of Democrats are eager for President Obama to be challenged by somebody in his own party, is it time for a Democrat to get into the 2012 primary?
Be sure to look at the poll, Which Democrat could beat Obama for the 2012 presidential nomination? Just for fun I voted for Al Gore but Hillary had over 80%! Are Obama’s days numbered?
