Bob Johnson Continues Fight for Hillary

It’s true when they say “don’t hate the player, hate the game”. Billionaire Bob “BET Booty-Shakin” Johnson is a business man and I can’t hate him at all for continuing the fight for his girl Hillary. He showed true feelings when he spoke out for her and now I guess he feels obligated to do his part in getting her in as VP. He seems passionate in his cause, but I’m wondering how many people he’s reaching in his efforts. To me, he’s just making the situation worse.

In a letter to the Congressional Black Caucus, Johnson urged “I, as a longtime supporter of Senator Clinton and the Democratic Party, urge you to do everything possible to unify this party to win the Presidential election in November. For me and millions of other Democrats, I believe that the most important step that you can take now is to encourage the Congressional Black Caucus to urge Senator Obama to select Senator Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate.”

I’ve always been down for an Obama-Clinton ticket, but as the primary moved along I’m not so sure it’s the best thing. It’s like she’s hurt because she lost and needs to prove to her supporters that she is a fighter. Okay, we get it Hill! Can you imagine them duking it out in the Oval Office over the best ways to improve our health care system?

I wish everyone would just let the chips fall as they may and let Obama make the decision on who to choose as a VP. Last night on television, I watched Lanny Davis make a plea for Hillary as VP. I’m sure all the petition signing and urging supporters to visit her website is making the decision a tough one for Obama. But in order to be President, these types of decisions have to be made. I hope whatever the choice, people will respect it and rally behind him to beat out John McCain.

    2. Yahoo referred to it as the “Clinton Machine” and it is that. She’s starting to hit that “J-Lo circa 2002″ phase in terms of her oversaturation. My fear is that she’ll do the same as VP; my hope is that she would be one of the more policy-influencing VP’s in a positive way that supports Obama as president. Her unwillingness to let go of the spotlight makes me fear she may not be the best person for the role.
