EPIPHANY

Well it has happened.  We have seen history made in our lifetime. Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee for President of the United States *pauses to do the Cabbage Patch*!  I have been a supporter of Obama since before he made his candidacy known, and ever since he threw his hat in the race I have been an Obama Mama (I have the t-shirt to prove it).

While the historical fact of him being the first black man to ever make it this far is not lost on me, I think it is about more than just him being black.  Jesse was black.  Al was black….but Barack is different.  He represents the change that we all want and need in this country!  He came along at a time when we needed something…and apparently that something was not a Clinton.  I know party insiders are going to put the screws to him to make it a joint ticket, but my question this week is: Should he or shouldn’t he?????

If the tables were turned I do not believe Hillary or anyone else would be beating down Barack’s door to unify.  The Clinton machine pretty much believed they had the black vote all sewn up, so she probably wouldn’t need Barack.  Well well well how the mighty have fallen.  Deep in debt, with no real cause to fundraise…what is Tiny Tears to do?  Oh yeah that’s right, talk up her willingness to take the VP spot in order to help unify the party *gags*. 

Yet and still she hasn’t conceded?  Seriously though, that’s tantamount to the Patriots staying on the field after the Giants won the Super Bowl.  Time runs out, Eli and Strahan are jumping around and posing for pictures but Tom Brady has his team in a huddle…..Who does that??????  Trophies are being handed out and confetti is flying but Brady throws a long pass to Randy Moss. Tiny Tears, get a grip and give a concession speech.  Enough Already!!!!! 

Only in this country would they ask a black man to:

1. Defend the church he is a member of, but attends scantily at times. 

2. Explain his spouse’s comments (Did anyone ever make Hillary explain away some of that mess Bill said).

3. Explain his failure to wear a flag pen (Talk about petty!  They needed to be on Hillary for those stiff pant suits.  I was about tired of seeing those on the campaign trail FOR REAL)! 

4. And they would only ask a black man to come out and join forces with his arch-nemesis! 

            Speaking of only a black man……If Bob Johnson does not take his rusty behind someplace and sit down!  Who told him he had any credibility with Obama or his supporters?  Bob Johnson, the great mind that gave us BET: Uncut, can’t recommend a good restaurant to me let alone a VP!

I don’t know Epiphany Blog, should he or shouldn’t he?  For those of us that voted for him, will he lose support if he joins up with Hillary?  I am not taking anything away from her, and she might actually be an asset, but is it worth it?  In my opinion it’s the fundamental disrespect that her failure to just concede shows that should ex her off the list.  I am so tired of all this “unify the party” talk too.  If she had stepped down weeks ago there would be no need to unify!!!!! Does he really need her on the ticket to win, or does selecting her make him look weak and guarantee a loss in November?  In looking at all the possible candidates out there, who would make a good Vice President for Barack Obama?
