Maybe it is just me and maybe it is partly due to the fact that I am both a supporter and volunteer for the Obama campaign, but something just doesn’t feel right.
Why does Hillary make me feel like I owe her something?
Let me explain… When I listen to Hillary Clinton speak, I often get the feeling that she is trying to tell me something. I often feel like she is standing up on this high rise, looking down on me saying “You owe me!”. She always comes off as very snotty to me, and I often feel like she is saying that she is better than me. She often comes off to me as saying “I am better than you and you are going to owe me big for making your life better, or easier, or more productive”. The problem is, I really seriously don’t think that she will do any of what she says.
I think that Hillary is no different than any of the other crooked, narrow politicians that we have in Washington now. I don’t think Hillary will work for my best interest. I don’t think that Hillary will put more money in my pocket, or keep less of it from being taken out of my pocket. I don’t think that Hillary can unite this country and bring about real change, I just don’t.
So why then, does she make me feel like voting for her would require some sort of payback on my part? Why does she seem to act like that working to make my life better will be a huge inconvenience on her part, and for that I am going to owe her? Maybe I am just crazy here, but something just doesn’t feel right.
Maybe I am just far too enriched by the finesse of Barack Obama to make me feel important to the process. Maybe I am just far too persuaded by the impressive way that Barack Obama makes me feel like he is talking to me and only me. Maybe I am just too blinded by how impressive Obama strikes me as a stand-up guy that speaks from the heart.
Hillary, I am very sorry but you make me feel like putting you in the White House will obligate me to a commitment that I am not ready to commit to. You make me feel like in the end, this nomination will end up costing me far more than what appears on the surface, and for that, I must choose your opposition. I appreciate you trying to win my vote, but for some reason, I just feel like you may be exactly what this country DOES NOT need.
