For everyone here in Ohio and across America who's been ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up -- this one is for you . ~ Hillary Clinton said before supporters in Columbus. I thank Jehovah God for Senator Hillary Clinton as she won the most crucial battles of the Democratic presidential race for the nomination Tuesday in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island and only lost in Vermont where Senator Barack Obama won nine of the fifteen delegates at stake. Hillary Clinton disappointed many key figures in the Democratic Party and millions of the fanatics of Barack Obama who were rehearsing their "Hillary's Ignominious Finale" for the world premiere today, but God changed the script overnight and gave us a new script, "Hillary Clinton's Victorious Come Back!" As Barack Obama won 11 Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses in a row, most peopl...

Barack Obama emulates Ronald Reagan: What an Irony! The Clintons have been castigated by Senator Barack Obama , his camp, surrogates and fanatics, for their critical dismissal of Obama’s approval of the so called visionary ideas of the late Ronald Reagan , the former President of America. Senator Barack Obama made the statement in an interview with the Reno Gazette Journal on Monday, January 15, 2008, before the Nevada Caucuses. Here is the link to the video on the Reno Gazette Journal , but I have decided to show you the YouTube video to save you from the trouble. Most readers and viewers did not know that Barack Obama deliberately highlighted the policy of Ronald Reagan and the Republicans to woo the Republican voters and other admirers of Ronald Reagan to caucus and vote for him. It was part of his political campaign strategy as Katharine O. Seelye accurately noted in her commentary on the New York Times of January 21, 2008. "Remember the context. Mr. Obama is speaking to v...

NEWSWEEK: Cover: Hillary Clinton: 'I Found my own Voice.' "What I realized is that the reason I do this, why I get up every day, why I believe in our country and the importance of leadership, was not getting across the way that I wanted it to," Clinton tells Newsweek. Editor Jon Meacham on Hillary, Race and Gender NEW YORK, Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- In the January 21 issue, "'I found my own voice.'" (on newsstands Monday, January 14) Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham examines Hillary Clinton's dramatic comeback win in New Hampshire and whether the battle for the Democratic nomination is one that will be determined by the historically complicated issues of race and gender. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080113/NYSA004 ) To say it is late in the game for a major politician to have found one's voice is too glib, Meacham writes. Many public figures are works in progress, and they are all certainly human. Clinton's primary victory is a n...

Dear Orikinla , You and I surprised a lot of people tonight! In the days after Iowa, I turned to you and asked you to stand with me. When I needed you most, you came through with flying colors. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. All the best, Hillary Clinton God Bless New Hampshire for Voting for Hillary Clinton We thank the Almighty God who gave us victory in New Hampshire. After Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton lost to Senator Barack Obama in the Iowa Caucuses, the legions of the anti-Clinton cult increased and swarmed the American mainstream news media to frustrate her and accelerate the momentum of the over-hyped Barack Obama into New Hampshire, to defeat Hillary Clinton again. But, I did not give up my support for her good cause. I continued my campaign for her victory on my blogs and websites and other sites. I am learning many lessons of life from American politics. The lessons I know would be of immense benefit to my country, Nigeria, and me. Before the polls, I went dow...

There were hot exchanges between the supporters of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama over The Oprah Winfrey show in Iowa , South Carolina, and New Hampshire . The following is the summary of my comments on the washingtonpost.com , Huff Post News and Topix . Oprah Winfrey and Senator Barack Obama need a reality check, because they are politically naïve and unrealistic. Barack Obama does not really know what it means to be the President of the greatest nation on earth and the challenges of leading the world. I have been well informed on the global role of America on earth, so, I can say who is capable of becoming the next President of the United States of America and that American patriot is, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, proud wife, mother and role model for American girls and women. Oprah Winfrey is neither a wife nor a mother and has no clue on raising children; talk less of leading a nation. I am disappointed that a black woman who refused to marry and does not want to have...
