The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

It is amazing  how people can embellish on virtually anything today. Take for example, Hillary Clinton's "Choking Up." The media is now saying the woman "Cried." Memo To The Socialists Press: Hillary Clinton "Did Not Cry."

It is obvious that using the word cry, versus choking up--is much more powerful. It engenders a lot more sympathy. Plus, the headlines are more gripping. Truth has long since left the lexicon of the socialists press. Hillary's choking up didn't impress Jesse Jackson, Jr., one of Barack Obama's National Co-Chairmen. The Chicago Congressman is wondering where were Hillary's tears for the victims of Katrina? Further, he wonders where were her tears for:

* Our dead Marines/Soldiers/Navy and Airmen, killed in Iraq and Afghanistan

* Monica Lewinsky

* Gennifer Flowers

* Paula Jones

These are all legitimate points that Jackson makes. If you have been a reader of my column, you know that I wouldn't trust the Clintons as far as a I could throw them. Well, Bill would be a lot easier to throw. Seriously, while Ms. Clinton may have let her guard down for a fleeting moment when the woman in New Hampshire asked her how was she able to carry on, old "Iron Britches" quickly composed herself and went back to being "Nurse Ratched." Nurse Ratched was the mean-spirited nurse from the movie, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest."

Rush Limbaugh made an excellent point during his show today. He wondered, how would the press have played this story, if a man had been asked the same question that Hillary was asked? Of course, we know that no man would be asked this question. So, why the double standard? Is it because Ms. Clinton is a female? Do we lower the bar, because Barack Obama is Black? We need to remember that, this woman is running for the most important office in the world. Who the hell cares how she "Holding Up?"

Harry Truman once opined, "If You Can't Stand The Heat, Get Out Of The Kitchen." If Hillary cracks over an innocuous question of how she is feeling, what will she do as President, when the going gets tough? Whether the democrats or some Americans believe it or not, we are at war with IslamoFascists. And these killers and thugs couldn't care less about how Hillary Clinton is feeling. Or, the type of day she is having!

We now know that Hillary took the women's vote handily in New Hampshire. If she won the female vote based on gender alone, I feel sorry for America. We cannot  afford to pick a president based on gender or race. And it is for damn sure that we can not elect a president based on the number of tears she can shed. America will rue the day, should she vote in a president based on any of the above criteria!

The socialists press would like America to believe that New Hampshire is a snapshot of the entire country. Nothing could be further from the truth. New Hampshire is a liberal democrat stronghold. Over the coming months, reality will set in, when republicans and conservatives get their chance to ballot.

In the meantime, I still believe that Hillary Clinton will sic her attack dogs on Barack Obama in the days to come. However, she had better be careful. Her main base of support hails from the African-American community.

Today, John Kohn-Kerry endorsed Barack Obama in South Carolina. Kohn-Kerry passed over his former running mate, John Edwards. Why he didn't endorse Obama in New Hampshire is a strange. However, one of his reasons for "Keeping His Powder Dry," could have been the fact that Kohn-Kerry carried the Black vote in South Carolina during the last Presidential election. Nonetheless, the endorsement shows that Kohn-Kerry and Edwards didn't really like one another. Politics indeed do make strange bedfellows!

Polls show Obama leading Ms. Clinton in South Carolina. I have more faith in the South Carolina polls. I believe these polls because people from another state can not say, "I'm Thinking Of Moving To South Carolina," and be allowed to vote in that state's primary. You can do that in New Hampshire. What occurred in New Hampshire is shameful. There is little doubt in my mind that voter fraud took place in this tiny New England state. But, the democrats "Poster Girl" won, so we will not hear a call for a "Special Prosecutor." 

A closing thought. If Hillary Clinton unleashes a vicious attack on Obama prior to the South Carolina primary, The African-American backlash could be irreparable! Jesse Jackson, Jr. has served noticed that he too can hit below the belt. Remember, Jackson's father, Jesse Sr., wields a lot of power in the Black community.

Nurse Ratched has been put on notice!
