Clinton and Obama Fight For Black Voters



Hillary and Obama will be fighting this weekend to gain support from the black voters. Both will be in Selma, Alabama on Sunday observing the 42nd anniversary of a civil rights march. It's hard to say who will gain more support of the black constituents, a candidate who is half African American or the spouse of the first black president (Old Willy was given this title by Toni Morrison). Both have an advantage for this weekends political meet and greet. Obama has the pleasure of giving the keynote address at a local church, which will undoubtedly give him some attention by local and perhaps national media. However, Bill Clinton is being inducted in the National Voting Rights Hall of Fame. Anytime Bill is in the media is bound to be good for Hillary as well. Hillary couldn't ask for a better spokesperson. The question now is are you sick of having Clinton and Bush's running our country? Is it time to have fresh meat? If so, then Obama might be the best choice. Experts say Obama doesn't have enough experience, yet this might be his greatest asset by not having the pleasure of being engulfed in the Washington hoopla. It seems the idea of bringing new perspective into the White House is always appealing to voters. This is why someone from Texas is now running the show.
