Everybodies A Critic

I am sure that no more than 59 1/2 seconds after Mrs. Clinton finished her speech endorsing Barack Obama for President (AKA consoling her supporters, unifying the party) the comment section of CNN was set a blaze with various negative commentary about Obama and his run for presidency.

I know not every candidate is going to be liked as it is so hard to be liked by virtually every one so I can understand that one would have critic or as I lovingly call them HAAATERS.

Is it just me? Or, does It seems as though they are missing the point and true spirit of this thing called politics?

I love politics. It is strategic, interesting, at times a teeth clincher and apparently it can drive other wise normal people to do the most immoral and unethical things (overall a suspense thriller). No matter where you go, whether it is work or various organizations you work with or in there will be some level of politics that one will be witness to and affected by.

All in all politics is one big game, that most people play to get into a key position(s) (most times a position of power). At the end of the the game there is a clear winner and loser (or so one would like to think...Florida and the 2000 election comes to mind).

With politics being the game that it is, where does the sense of entitlement come from?

Where do people feel the nomination should have been so and so's because we worked so hard? Or, because so and so was qualified? Where does it come from? Politics is gambling, a game. You can either win or lose and there is no guarantee that the jack pot will be yours in the end, unless it is one person running unopposed. Well unless you do some sneaky underhanded, immoral and unethical things along the way (hey folks are rather forgiving in this area...surprisingly), yet that is still not enough to guarantee that numba 1 spot.

Furthermore, what did Clinton supporters expect in last nights speech? For Hil to come out and bust the DNC wide open with her rendition of Jennifer Holiday's "And I am Telling You", proclaiming that she is still in the game?

Come on folks. It is what it is. See the forest for the trees and look at the real issues.

With this country being at war, economy about to hit bottom (where ever that is) and unemployment rate rising. Folks are really going to throw a vote away and not even give this man a chance to fail or succeed?? I mean not even attempt to put this country in a position where it can be in a better position than it is in now?


ROFL! Wow, just wow.
