At a speech quite recently, Obama stated how he thought that small town voters were bitter about not having jobs, and that they didn’t place their trust in the government but instead held onto religion or antipathy against certain people. And the commentary/intense scanning began. This was analyzed over and over again but what really interests me is Hillary Clinton’s reaction. At everything that she has attended she has mentioned that in order to bring Obama down just a wee bit more. And is it working? Have the people lost faith in Barack Obama? Considering the other things done to him in the past, and that he has worked above in this presidential race, I think not. Barack Obama retaliated by stating that he did not use the correct wording and that he was sorry for offending people. Everyone loves apologies, for they are hard to give. It is interesting however, that Clinton uses the negativity against other candidates to fuel her own campaign. She seems to become more successful from it, or rather in the end will it just collapse around her ears? My mother always says that the honest people win, the good people, and the liars lose out in the end. Will she be right, or will it be an unusual case of the bad one winning (which is funny in movies but not in real life)?

Your mother is right, and she is doing a fine job raising you.
