I would like to reiterate: I don't hate Hillary. Not in the least. I believe she would make a fine president. I was even a Hillary supporter in the way early days of her campaign.
But I don't see her as right for me, or for america at this moment in time. I believe in Obama for reason's i can't even begin to explain - reasons having to do with feelings in my gut and in my heart and in my soul.
We had an interesting discussion today at work about how Obama uses organizer-speak. he talks about the power of many, about believing in yourself. Them's fighting words. and they speak to an inherent belief that people have power.
While i know at the end of the day, super tuesday didn't change much, i have an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I am disappointed and saddened by the California results. I believe Californians are better than that. i understand in my head why people would vote for Clinton. But my heart doesn't get it. My heart says, don't people realize their own potential, and the potential that exists for America? I am sick and tired of people not willing to take a risk to make things better in their own lives, and that extends far beyond politics. I want to shake people and say 'i believe in you, what is stopping you from believing in yourself?'
