Can
Hillary Clinton overcome the Obama roll?
The
majority and hierarchy of the Democratic Party certainly never
expected Obama to represent any real threat to Mrs Clinton,
but for whatever reason, the cards have turned and the promised
land for Clinton appears to be fading in the distance. Politics
is a very tricky and treacherous game and we are fully aware
that miracles never cease but in this case, we are looking
at something extremely miraculous if the present course is
altered.
Hilary Clinton is undoubtedly panicking and has probably realised
the outcome but does not wish to concede at this time despite
the fact that this intense battle is only splitting the Democratic
Party down the middle. Obama’s confidence continues
to grow and despite the mud slinging, he has been able to
deal with the issues professionally. He has remained composed
and then responds with facts which cannot be questioned and
from this aspect, the public forms its own opinion.
The Bosnia fabrication by Mrs Clinton even if it were true
served no useful purpose, but desperation causes some of us
to respond unnecessarily to situations that are better left
completely untouched.
Taking
on Hillary and Bill Clinton together is a formidable task
but standing up and possibly defying them requires intellect,
guts and gumption and Obama has certainly responded to the
Clinton clan in no uncertain terms.
Obama’s downside, however, could originate from his
wife Michelle who has made some immature comments not realising
how lethal the press can be at the slightest faux pas and
in the twinkling of an eye, Obama could lose some serious
points, so it may be very wise for Obama to ensure that his
wife remains as silent as possible until the nomination is
completed.
The United States is undoubtedly ready for major changes and
Obama has struck a real note as far as change is concerned
for the simple reason that the US public have realised that
their country is heading in the wrong direction for more reasons
than one. Some of the concerns topping the list are gross
interference in foreign countries, the continuous decline
of their currency and the constant increase of petrol which
comes in the form of a backlash from the Middle East. Making
enemies can be one of the most dangerous elements in our lives,
even when innocence is absolutely transparent, far less, when
there is evidence that the cause was objective and this is
where Americans feel Obama can be effective as their Commander
In Chief, as he has the ability to change the perception of
US policy of many countries especially those within the Middle
Eastern zone.
