Obama’s Judgment of Small Town America a Bitter Pill

By Pamela Hamilton • Apr 12th, 2008 • Category: Election 2008

Barack Obama was at one of three $2300 ticket fundraiser’s held on April 6th. This one was located on “Billionaire Row” in Pacific Heights, a very wealthy suburb of San Francisco. During the night, Obama made what I’m sure he thought was a thoughtful observation about the working class folks of Pennsylvania:
“Our challenge is to get people persuaded that we […]



Kerry on Universal Healthcare - No We Can’t!

By Pamela Hamilton • Apr 2nd, 2008 • Category: Election 2008, Politwix Blogs

A comment on ABC’s “Last Week” made by top Barack Obama supporter Senator John Kerry was reduced to the soundbite “Senator Kerry claims that Senator Clinton’s universal healthcare plan is a ”non-starter”.
We think that his actual comment warrants further examination:
“Let me just tell you that Hillary Clinton’s plan in the United States Senate is a nonstarter, because it starts […]



Goddamn Michigan and Florida!

The Democratic Party is sinking in quicksand. The more time that goes by without consensus on the allocation of Florida’s primary votes, the more ridiculous the party looks. There is no justification for not allocating votes the way they would have been had the primary not been moved up by the Florida’s Republican Legislature. Both candidate’s names were on the ballot, neither candidate […]



Happy Easter, Hillary!

By Pamela Hamilton • Mar 23rd, 2008 • Category: Hillary Clinton

This morning my mind turns Easter, and what it means to me. In this strange political climate, it turns out that resurrection is the goal and speciality of my chosen candidate.
Hillary Clinton has become somewhat of an icon for those that, wounded by the slings and arrows of life, need inspiration to keep battling. The personal and political beat-downs that Hillary […]



The Ties That Bind

By Pamela Hamilton • Mar 20th, 2008 • Category: Politwix Blogs

Senator Barack Obama has been welcomed by America’s mainstream media with open arms, due in part to a sincere desire in the hearts of a majority of Americans to get beyond race and move this country into a new era of understanding.  Sadly, I believe they have anointed the wrong person to take us there.
Whatever conciliatory words were spoken in […]



Illinois Blind Trust

Support for Obama Would Be Leap of Faith 
Senator Barack Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe has called Hillary Clinton the “Most secretive politician in America.”
Perhaps he doesn’t know enough about Obama.
Despite Obama’s calls for reform from corporate corruption, he has waded into some mighty gray waters himself. When he purchased his faux-Georgian mansion in June of 1995, he did it with the help […]



No Soup For You!

By Pamela Hamilton • Mar 9th, 2008 • Category: Politwix Blogs

Watching CNN, MSNBC and FOX has been so painful during this political season. Watching the DNC and their thinly-veiled efforts to “pre-elect” Barack Obama have even been harder. What started out as such a wonderful dream for democrats that felt like we were finally on the verge of putting a woman in the White House […]
