Hilary Clinton: My Stream of Consciousness Notes on her DNC Speech

...What's with the video?

Chelsea is so poised. She sure looks like a nice young woman...

Hilary looks so “Presidential”... workin' the stage like a pro...

...Bill looks like he's getting teary eyed...!?!

The crowd is really going crazy. God, the applause is going on forever.

Okay! Here she goes...

"...Proud supporter of Barrack Obama”

(Michelle Obama doesn't look convinced... weird facial expression... )

“The time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose. We cannot suffer more failed leadership; Republicans squandered Amerian good will and resources, betrayed people..."

(Damn... she looks and sounds so Presidential!)

(So... what's the point of your speech again Hilary? Self promotion? Or support for Barrack? Okay Hilary – get back on track some day soon....)

"...Health care, college education, fair wages, restore fiscal sanity to Washington – not private plunder, end the war, care for veterans, join with allies to help solve world's problems... these are reasons I support Barrack Obama for President. There are no limits to what is possible in America."

(Bill Clinton laughing and smiling at Hilary saying...) “We did it before with President Clinton and the Democrats ...and we can do it again with President Obama.”

"88 years ago today the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote." Rousing.

"Nothing less than the fate of our nation and the future of our children hangs in the balance in the outcome of this election."

Home run, Hilary. Good ending. Keith Olbermann says “Grand Slam, out of the park, and across the street...” (Rachel Maddow, you're awesome-ness is astounding, so fucking smart)

WITNESSING HISTORY: Michelle Obama

So. When I began this blog, I had the gut feeling that this time in history was like no other.

Basically I wanted there to be some kind of record that some Americans were capable of seeing reality. That some of us were not fooled. That some thought clearly despite the bombardment of propaganda, spin, lies, media bias, and HELL that was the Bush II Administration.

I thought that in some later generation, when the archaic first-generation "blogs" are being analyzed by sociological anthropologists, this blog and my personal expression might be recognized as a part of some larger human movement.

So tonight is the first night of the Democratic National Convention. It occurred to me that again... this is an incredible time in history. Who would have thought that the day would arrive (and I am sitting here watching it live) when Americans might not care the concentration of cellular melanin of the Democratic Candidate for President of the United States of America?

I was watching Senator Ted Kennedy. Everyone on earth knows he has a brain tumor - now inoperable. He will never again be the figurehead-survivor of the Kennedy legacy's most celebrated generation. My God. This is likely it. And he spoke from his heart and soul. About the basic human right to health care. "It's a right, not a privilege."

When Michelle Obama spoke, I thought... "this woman will most likely be our next first lady." This is history.

This, is history.

P.S. All the spin about a "disunited" democratic party is bullshit. Bullshit and lies. Manufactured conflict for the purpose of faking "concern" to undermine progress. Don't believe it folks, break free.
