Do you think she wore one?
I dunno; just seemed like an important topic.
"Clinton makes pitch to letter carriers in S. Boston for Obama" by Lisa Wangsness, Globe Staff | July 22, 2008
Hillary Clinton, in South Boston yesterday to continue her efforts to unite the Democratic Party, urged thousands of letter carriers who had been early and enthusiastic backers of her campaign to throw their support behind Barack Obama, her former rival and now the presumptive nominee.
Clinton told nearly 10,000 members of the National Association of Letter Carriers, gathered at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center for their biennial convention, that electing Obama would mean expanding healthcare access, preventing further outsourcing of government jobs, and improving the lives of working people across the country.
Yeah, sure. He ain't gonna be able to change a damn thing about those forces that are BIGGER than HE!
Polls indicate the former rivals still have work to do in energizing the party. An Associated Press-
Awkwardness over finances also still exists. Campaign finance records show Clinton loaned her campaign another $1 million last month, bringing her total personal loans to her campaign to $13.2 million, and she still owes vendors another $12 million. Obama has asked his top donors to help Clinton pay down her debts, but it doesn't appear to be helping: The campaign received only $2.7 million in June.
GOOD!!!! I hope her debts lead her right into bankruptcy!!!
Bet she won't be getting foreclosed on any time soon!
Let me ask you, Americans, would you continue to pour $$$ into a USELESS CAUSE?!
I know, I know, you fund the government with taxpayer dollars (especially these overpriced bell hops), but ASIDE FROM THAT!
Haven't we BAILED OUT ENOUGH BANKS, without bailing out Ms. Hitlery, too?!?
Her appearance yesterday was suffused with nostalgia. The union presented Clinton with a sentimental video of her on the campaign trail and unanimously voted to make her an honorary union member. She accepted, inviting members to flag her down if they ever need a helping hand along their routes.
Talk about COCK-SUCKING ASS-SUCKING!!!!
But she never lost sight of her message.
And she would have been such a GOOD PRESIDENT (sob!)!!!!
Isn't that the TONE of that LAST PARAGRAPH, readers?!
Sure smelled like it to me!!!!
Among those cheering were Lucy James and Leslie Hammett, both Democratic letter carriers in their 50s from Las Vegas who had worked for Clinton's campaign in Nevada. "I've got foreclosed houses all over my route," said Hammett. " 'For Sale' signs - it's like a forest of them. They're losing their jobs, they're losing their homes."
Others were unmoved by Clinton's speech. Gary Griffis, a 59-year-old Republican from Cincinnati, kept quiet when the rest of the members endorsed Obama yesterday because he didn't want to be rude. But he said he plans to vote for McCain in November because he feels Obama is ill prepared to be president. "I think the security of this country is far greater than my job," he said.
Then I'LL TAKE IT, a-hole!!!
