The beautiful Clinton family:Photo off the web |
This
is a story I want to write and tell in mid-November on the road of
the Clintons to the white house, for the second time, a historic
moment in the politics of the United states: a reward for hard work,
which as embedded in what being truly American means; hard work
rewards handsomely in the land of opportunity, the United States of
America. If you have been following closely, I have said it many
times and I will say it again, Mrs. Clinton’s presidency is a
historical milestone—it is one I pray to see and I am with high
hopes that the intuition I have at the back of my mind is correct,
she will make history even with the landslide win against the Donald.
In
an article I
came across on the internet recently, Snoop
Dogg puts
it in the best way ever: “You
know I like to be politically correct, but sometimes I’m
politically incorrect; but I will say that I would love to see a
woman in office because I feel like we’re at that stage in life to
where we need perspective other than the male’s train of thought.
And just to have a woman speaking from a global perspective as far as
representing America, I’d love to see that. So I’ll be voting for
Mrs. Clinton”
The
raw facts are that yes, Mrs.
Clinton is
by far the most qualified candidate
to ever run for the biggest office of the United States. Just before
President
Obama joined
Hillary Clinton on the trail in North Carolina, Josh
Earnest;
the White House Press secretary remarked: “the
focus of President Obama’s remarks in Charlotte will be on
Secretary Clinton and in his view that she has the character, the
toughness, skills and experience to succeed him as president of the
United States”.
And reminding us of what Donald
Trump stands for,
as President Obama said earlier in Canada: “someone
who has never shown any regard for workers, has never thought on
behalf of social justice issues”
While
in Charlotte, President
Obama did
endorse
Donald
Trump for
the job he is fit for and the phenomenal Hillary
Clinton for
the job she is going to do so well. President Obama, while not
mentioning names said that being president is not some job for TV
reality show but a job for president of the united states (he has
emphasized this over time and you need to pay attention).Honestly,
the unfiltered behavior Donald Trump has displayed make him a perfect
fit except for one; a competitor at comedy central that Kevin
Hart and
Chris
Rock may
have found. The good news is that he may not have the nerve to pick
himself up after the insurmountable defeat on his way in November.
An
endorsement that speaks for itself, President Obama’s rock-solid
endorsement.

To
be endorsed by a President whose approval rates are above 50 percent,
yet that man has met pitch 8 obstructionism(from republicans) from
day one as I earlier wrote
is one of the greatest assets any candidate running to be successor
would pride in, Hillary
Clinton
is a very blessed woman. While in Charlotte,
President Obama said these words very eloquently (as we all do his
unmatched oratory abilities):
“I
came down to Charlotte today because I believe in Hillary, and I am
asking you to have her back in November. This election isn’t really
a choice between left and right or the Democratic or Republican. This
is a choice between whether we are going to cling to some imaginary
past or move into the future. This is about whether we have America
that works for everybody, or just those at the top. Hillary has been
fighting for years—fighting for working families and the kids, and
fighting to make sure everybody in this country has a fair shot (and
she has got the scars to prove it).She believes that America’s
future is ours to shape, and she’s got what it takes to lead us
forward .She understands that we make our own destiny, and that we
are always the strongest together. I couldn’t agree more. And
that’s why I am with her”.
In
the recent article on the blog, MY AMERICAN JOURNEY,
where I envision a Hillary Clinton presidency as the last ounce of
hope—because of the nightmarish reality that tags along a Donald
Trump presidency, I was crystal clear; as so many have emphatically
said and as Hillary Clintons message of a united path goes, America
is stronger as one (STRONGER
TOGETHER),
thanks to you President Obama for that wonderful emphasis.
If
there is something that I have failed to understand, it is whether
the people that deny Hillary Clinton’s achievements as having been
on the fight are just being willfully
ignorant
or just fantastically
stupid;
I have reached a conclusion as my liberating experience: “they
are completely, all the above, of the afore-mentioned”.
Because: Mrs.
Clinton has
been in the trenches fighting for women, children and justice for
all. Back in 1995(I was 6 years old then), Donald Trump and most of
his followers must have been 15times or older, Hillary
Clinton while
delivering remarks to UN
4th
World conference on Women Plenary session;
on September 5th,
in Beijing China didn’t mince words saying, I will paraphrase: “let
me clear. Freedom means the right to assemble, organize and debate
openly. It means respecting the views of those who may disagree with
the views of their governments, it means not taking citizens away
from their loved ones and jailing them, mistreating them or denying
their freedom or dignity because of the expression of ideas and
opinions”.
I have had the luxury of reading the History books, Bill and Hillary
Clinton memoirs, the best 1000 greatest speeches of all time(from
American Rhetoric) and a zillion newspaper and blog articles—I can
profoundly say that she has earned it, being the Democratic nominee
and with enormous hope, the 45th President of the united states.
As
an air of finality, I will end with the words from Vice President, go
out there and do the right thing at the voting booth and vote the
right person to the job—the 45th
President, former first lady of a very successful President Bill
Clinton; former successful New York senator; former successful
secretary of state and the historic first female POTUS:put it more
accurately,the best pair of hands America will ever be placed into.
