OBAMA-HILLA BETTER THAN GODZILLA: THE MONSTER TEAM

Dear Friends,

Yes, I know Hillary Clinton did not get selected as the vice presidential partner for Barack Obama. However, Senator Clinton is still the "better half" in my mind of the team needed to assure the Democrats keep their promises and get elected this Fall, 2008. I call this team the "Obama-Hilla better than Godzilla, Monster Team."

Of course, I realize Joe Biden is the one chosen to stand by Barack Obama for the presidential election. Even though last night's speech by Hillary Clinton proves this woman is still very much leading the current March to the White House.

Hillary Clinton does not give up. I find her tenacity remarkable. She really is doing it all - she stands by her man, Bill Clinton, she is a devoted mother to her beautiful and accomplished daughter, Chelsea Clinton plus she is succeeding in her career as a politician and she is loved, respected and cherished by millions. I am really impressed by how she has grown through this campaign and how many, including myself, are inspired to reach out and live their dreams.

I say to this historic figure, "You done good girl, you have monstrous talent, energy and compassion. You deserve to not only stay on the team but continue to be it's inspiration and strength." I might add, like Diana who was the people's princess, it could be Hillary is the "people's president."

All this makes it tough for some to go vote for Barack Obama! But like Senator Clinton says, "No, way, no McCain." I recommend we continue to support this remarkable woman. We need to follow her lead to be a part of the monster team to put the Democrats in the White House for new choices and new changes.

Thank you, Hillary! Thank you for reminding us what real political service is all about and the unity it takes to make great things happen for a great nation.

John Edwards Is Shocking But Human

It was very hard for me to hear about John Edwards and his confused and shocking behavior. I remember how disappointed I felt when he left the presidential race so soon; I honestly thought he had the credentials and character to make a wonderful president.

Why do we continue to expect our leaders to be these perfect beings when we ourselves know how many times a day we are less than perfect in our choices and our decisions? John Edwards must know he has ruined any possibility of any future political aspirations. Maybe, deep down, he is like so many of us who create the drama, the trauma, the complications in life so that we can be distracted from facing the true agonizing pain within and that overwhelming sense of guilt and failure.

I am sure this whole story has many layers, players, and lessons of morality. I feel sad for Elizabeth Edwards and I wonder what journey she is on that includes so much pain and suffering. I feel sad for the child born into this much controversy. I also feel sad for the Edwards' children who must live with the choices their parents have made.

I think the only way out of all this is not be judgemental - to see the public situation as it is "shocking" but the people who are involved are still humans. They are humans who like ourselves are trying to learn about the inner land of emotional needs and the outer land of responsibilities to the society we live in. I am sure in that moment Mr. Edwards made his dramatic decision, he thought it would make him happy! What a price he is paying and what an illusion happiness can be; happiness which causes so much misery to others can never be real.

Let me know what you think.
