The writing is on the wall

She thought she could keep making a comeback and everyone would overlook the fact that she undermines being a winner. Can’t keep coming back if you’re a winner – just win. And you can't keep reneging -- the campaign is still in the red - feminists where are the donations? Money still talks. Yet, unfortunately for her the Clintons overestimated their whiteness. [gasp] Yup, Bellini said it. A friend of mine put this bug in my ear a few months ago and it hasn’t finally resonated until now. I needed the race issue stirred by Revered Wright to allow me see the writing on the wall.

Barack was supposed to be engulfed and swallowed whole by the Wright controversy. He wasn’t supposed to be able to weather the storm. North Carolina was supposed to show him. Well….? Not even. He hit a home run, “smoked her” and allowed the dust to travel west to Indiana – where he finished damn close.

Thank goodness for the exponential increase in gas! [what , Bellini?] And Hillary overplaying her hand with the “gas tax holiday” gave Barack his golden Ace. He trounced her on that issue – a stupid ass proposal-- and white folks had to think twice – she’s playing us dumb. It ain’t a game when you’re paying $4 gallon and you make under $40,000 year. The best thing about the exponential gas increase is that it forced the media to get back to the issues. At the end of the day, white folks knew Reverend Wright ain’t got shit to do with what they pay at the pump. So, with that Barack was able to make traction with some of the white voters. Oh, and black folks represented. Good job! I know many of us are cynics in our communities but trust me the superdelegates are thinking about ya and you’re showing them – think about f*cking me we’ll f*uck you back. Enough said.

The Clinton clan failed -- the races weren’t supposed to be so close – the races were supposed to decisive wins. Here’s a little political psychology for you, her whole family wore a conciliatory warm blue. Shit Hillary – where’s the fiery red or sunshine bright yellow? It takes a lot of energy to keep coming back – doesn’t it. Oh and Michelle, I saw you in the bright tangerine looking radiant. You go girl!

cheers,

Bellini
