Obama recently made bank. Kennedy royalty anointed him as their new King. A few cold shoulders later, Hillary mounted her counter attack and announced Maya Angelou as an endorser. That's pure gold.
Maya says about Hillary, "I made up my mind 15 years ago that if she ever ran for office I'd be on her wagon. My only difficulty with Senator Obama is that I believe in going out with who I went in with." She has also written the following poem for Senator Clinton:
State Package for Hillary Clinton
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at her wits' end, but she has always risen, always risen, don't forget she has always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and the delight of her friends.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at her wits' end, but she has always risen, always risen, don't forget she has always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and the delight of her friends.
Hillary Clinton will not give up on you and all she asks of you is that you do not give up on her.
There is a world of difference between being a woman and being an old female. If you're born a girl, grow up, and live long enough, you can become an old female. But to become a woman is a serious matter. A woman takes responsibility for the time she takes up and the space she occupies. Hillary Clinton is a woman. She has been there and done that and has still risen. She is in this race for the long haul. She intends to make a difference in our country. Hillary Clinton intends to help our country to be what it can become.
She declares she wants to see more smiles in the family, more courtesies between men and women, more honesty in the marketplace. She is the prayer of every woman and man who longs for fair play, healthy families, good schools, and a balanced economy.
She means to rise.
Don't give up on Hillary. In fact, if you help her to rise, you will rise with her and help her make this country the wonderful, wonderful place where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety and without crippling fear.
Rise, Hillary.
Rise.
Please note that Maya is a very good friend of a certain Ms. Oprah Winfrey, who just happens to be a megawatt endorser of Senator Obama. Maya said that she has spoken to Winfrey about Clinton vs. Obama and that Oprah "thinks he's the best, and I think my woman is the best." Maya also added, "Oprah is a daughter to me, but she is not my clone." More cold shoulders on the horizon?
Also, congratulations to Hillary on winning in Florida!

Oh please...going out with who you went in with? Is this Phenomenal Woman Maya Angelou speaking or her clone?
That's a pretty strong endorsement. Love the clone comment. I've actually used that one. It says we can be family and still disagree.
