From Maya Angelou:
"Dear Friend:
I am writing to tell you about my friend, Hillary Clinton, and why I am standing with her in her campaign for the presidency. I know the kind of president Hillary Clinton will be because I know the person she is.
I am inspired by her courage and her honesty. She is a reliable and trustworthy person. She is someone I not only admire but one for whom I have profound affection.
Hillary does not waver in standing up for those who need a champion. She has always been a passionate protector of families. As a child, she was taught that all God’s children are equal, and as a mother, she understood that her child wasn’t safe unless all children were safe. As I wrote about Hillary recently in a praise song: “She is the prayer of every woman, and every man who longs for fair play, healthy families, good schools and a balanced economy.”
It may be easy to view Hillary Clinton through the narrow lens of those who would write her off or grind her down. Hillary sees us as we are, black and brown and white and yellow and pink and relishes our differences knowing that fundamentally we are all more alike than we are unalike. She is able to look through complexion and see community.
She has endured great scrutiny, and still she dares greatly. Hillary Clinton will not give up on you, and all she asks is that you do not give up on her. She is a long-distance runner. I am honored to say I am with her for the long run.
I am supporting Hillary Clinton because I know that she will make the most positive difference in people’s lives and she will help our country become what it can be. Whether you are her supporter, leaning towards her, undecided, or supporting someone else, I believe Hillary Clinton will represent you – she will be a president for all Americans. It is no small thing that along the way we will make history together.
Vote for Hillary Clinton and show your support http://www.hillaryclinton.com/. I know she will make us proud."
My only question - how can Maya Angelou be listened to after this obsequious opening for HRC? Hillary has lied - we have more moments where she has been caught lying than any twenty people combined. Lying about everything from her expanded/limited role in Bill's White House to Whitewater, her role in the education system in Arkansas before Bill ran for president - her being under fire in Bosnia, her supporting NAFTA and her opposing NAFTA all at the same time. She is a walking lie.
Which Americans Maya - 30% who will vote for her. 20-25% of Democrats will not vote for her regardless. The other 50% is probably broken up by 90% who will never and 10% who will because they are passionate about fiscal issues. She does not have the demographics to win and if she did, it would be even more divided than during Bill's administration.
She is as trustworthy as Charles Keating. As loyal as a rabid dog. She cares as much as a mercenary. Your judgment is seriously questioned as a result of your support for her. I have some doubt that you possess very much sense given your miserable judgment with this woman.
