Texas and Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island

The recent results in the recent primaries (and caucus) were interesting on a number of fronts. It would seem that the Clinton campaign's tactic of throwing everything at Obama to see what sticks has been effective to some extent, and I have to say I am disappointed. Disappointed because they fail to attack on anything of substance, but distort and misstate, mislead and misrepresent.

The Obama campaign on the other hand, seems to take the high road. They play some defense, responding to the attacks of the Clinton campaign, but raise valid questions about her foreign experience among other things.

Personally, I am disgusted by the attacks of the Clinton campaign and her mocking tone when speaking of dreams. Her speech in Rhode Island epitomized this attitude, when she said

Now I could stand up here and say, 'Let's get everybody together, let's get unified, the sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing.' And everyone will know we should do the right thing, and the world will be perfect.

Apparently, she is so out of touch with reality that she has missed that the American people need that sense of hope. That this country was built by dreamers who dared to imagine a better life for them and their families, and who did whatever they could to achieve their goals.

She has apparently forgotten that if you do not dream great things, you can not achieve great things.

I don't want a President who has such a negative view of things. We can work to make our country a better place while maintaining a firm grip on reality. Working together we can change things. We don't want things done for us, we want to participate. We want to contribute, to give back to our country, and Obama has tapped in to this reservoir of energy in the American people. With him leading, we are ready.
