After Hillary's failed strategy, it appears that MSNBC has stepped in to replace Mark Penn as Hillary Clinton's chief strategist.  In the last two weeks I have heard various pundits on MSNBC make suggestions on how Hillary can improve her strategy and low and behold Hillary has implemented every suggestion I have heard the pundits make, which in my mind discredits her as being ready to govern this country on day one.  For example in an interview with Pat Buchanan on Chris Matthew's Hardball, after being asked what Hillary can do to overcome Obama's momentum,  Pat Buchanan said "She [Hillary] has to go negative or go home."  Shortly thereafter we heard the negative attacks on Obama including  "Shame on You Barack Obama," the mocking of Barack Obama's Hope Message where Hillary mocked the concept of the skies opening up, celestial music etc. etc,.( which as a Christian, if found offensive);   we saw pictures circulating of Obama dressed in Somali Garb, and we heard several references to Barack "Hussein" Obama, in which both the photos and the reference to his middle name which were legitimate standing alone, in my opinion the photo and the middle name usage were circulated in the context of "code speak" to the racists that exist in our society to vote for Hillary Clinton.

A few days ago, I caught a clip on MSNBC .... but not the name of the interviewee who actually came out and said that Hillary will need the media to help her win in Ohio and Texas.  Since when is the media's job to help a candidate win an election? 

Then other morning on the Morning Joe Show, Joe had a red phone on the desk and said that Hillary Clinton should run an ad hitting home the message asking Americans who they want to answer the phone.  I woke up this morning only to learn that Clinton is running a new ad where she is now asking democrats who do they want to answer the phone.   For a candidate who claims she is the candidate of solutions, her pail of solutions on how to overcome Obama sure looks empty from where I stand, as she now has to rely on the media to provide her with solutions to save her dwindling campaign.

I say Enough is enough! I want news, I don't mind commentary and analysis, but I am sick and tired of the pundits using propaganda to attempt to influence me and I'm tired of them coaching Hillary.  I want to see Hillary stand on her own to feet and fight for herself.  Right now she's not. The fact of the matter is that Senator Clinton, who asserts herself as ready to govern the country on day one,  can't successfully govern a campaign several hundred days after she launched it.

Based on the way Hillary has run her campaign, there is one thing that she can count on,  and that is that I won't be voting for her, even if she wins the nomination.  While I recognize her as being smart and I appreciate her for her life of public service,  I find her tactics to be less than presidential and downright dirty.  And as far as experience, I am still asking What Experience?  I don't think she can credibly count Bill Clinton's presidency as experience.  And frankly the type of experience that Hillary does possess is exactly the type of experience that I do not want in the white house.  Judgement is everything, and bad judgment, in my mind equates to bad experience.  Hillary has had bad judgment about the war, and she has had bad judgment in running her campaign, I don't want to give her the opportunity to use bad judgement in the oval office.  We've had enough bad judgement in the white house through George Bush.  

I think the news media should report the news, I find the analysis entertaining, but to MSNBC, STOP trying to persuade the American people.  We know what we want, the people who will vote for Hillary will, and the people who aren't going to vote for Hillary don't necessarily want Hillary Clint shoved down their throat.
