Hillary Clinton declared her support for Barrack Obama in Unity, N.H. yesterday. Their slogan was "Unite for change". However, the only change I foresee happening is, instead of practicing dirty politics and cheap tricks directed at each other, they will now be directed at John McCain.

This new found friendship between Barrack and Hillary reminds me of a short story. The story goes like this.

There was a beaver and a snake caught in the midst of a flood. The snake was on the branch of a tree and the water was rising fast. The snake said to the beaver: "Let me get on your back and you can take me to dry land and save me".

The beaver said: "No, If I do, you'll bite me and I will die" The snake said: "I promise, If you save me I'll be forever grateful". So the beaver let the snake crawl on his back and he swam to dry land.

As soon as they reached land, the snake "Bit" the beaver. The beaver said: "You promised that you wouldn't bite me, that you'd be grateful". The snake replied: "Hey! I can't help it! It's my nature!" - "I'm a Snake".

The question is, who's the beaver and who's the snake? You figure it out.

Think about that! What if John McCain chose Hillary Clinton as his running mate. Does this sound kind of far out there? Maybe, but then, maybe not. I can say that it might take this sort of bold move to break down the barriers put up by the two political parties.

What better way to promote bipartisan politics in the house and senate, than to have a bipartisan ticket. Both Republican "and" Democrat. Sure I know it sounds far fetched, but, Obama is in a bit of a quandry.

If he puts Hillary on the ticket, he stands a "much" better chance of getting elected. But with Hillary, comes "Bill". Obama is to inexperienced and possibly lacks the self confidence to handle both Bill and Hillary, if they have a foot in the White House.

On the other hand, Hillary would be perfect for McCain. McCain has already proved that he is "his own man". He's stood up to his own party and the president. He has the age, wisdom, experience and self confidence to handle the Clintons. Or possibly utilize and benefit from their knowledge.

McCain - Clinton Ticket? Sound crazy? Maybe, but you never know.

I've been quoted as saying: "Give me a break, lets talk about the issues". When Hillary Clinton was on the O'Reilly Factor, she did just that! And I say "Bravo!" It's about darned time!

What I expected, was the usual finger pointing, Bush bashing and twisted facts I've heard so many times before. What I (and the amreican people) got, was honest, strait forward answers to tough questions.

O'Reilly at one point asked her a tough question. (I forget the question now) She immediately replied: "NO, and I'll tell you why" (then she did) No redirecting, no spin, no finger pointing and no trying to be clever. O'Reilly leaned back in his chair and said "Whoa!" (I don't think he was expecting strait answers either)

Her whole interview was the same way. I developed a new respect for Hillary after watching that interview. The American people deserve strait answers! And she gave them. She put it right out there. Right or wrong, agree with her or not, there it was. How refreshing!

Yesterday, she made the statement that her husbands nomination didn't happen until June, then referenced that Bobby Kennedy was assinated in June. The Obama campaign leaped on this as her meaning, because Obama is black, he might get assinated.

Truthfully, I don't know how Hillary meant this statement. If it was intended as the Obama campaign claims it was, that is indeed pretty ruthless. We then however, are forced to ask ourselves, who do we want dealing with terrorists, and world leaders who hate us?

Someone charming with a smooth line, or someone ruthless who wants to win at all costs? Another way to look at it is, If you are facing a prison sentence, which lawyer do you choose? The smooth talker that everyone likes? or the ruthless "son of a bitch" who wants to win at all costs?

No, I'm not endorsing Hillary. I'm just pointing out some common sense things to think about.
