Hillary Clinton Concession Speech

As expected Hillary Clinton gave a concession speech today and suspended her campaign. Hillary spoke for about 30 minutes where she endorsed Barak Obama, but since she only suspended her campaign she maintains control of her delegates until the Democratic National Convention. She thanked her supporters and asked them to support Barak Obama for President of the United States.
As she made these comments about Barak Obama the crowd became increasingly quiet and you could even hear boos coming from the crowd. A lot of people in the democratic party expected all democrats to just fall in line behind Barak Obama once he was the presumptive nominee, but the reaction of supporters during Hillary Clinton’s concession speech may suggest that is not going to be as easy as they expected.
Every since the news broke a couple of days ago that Hillary was going to make this speech, I’ve been getting emails from various Obama support organizations such as MoveOn.org and the Democratic National Convention. The one I received from MoveOn referred to Barak Obama as the official Democratic Nominee. I had to write them as informed them that he is actually the presumptive nominee and would not be the official until after the convention.
I got an email today from Howard Dean of the DNC where he told me I needed to get inline now and support Barak Obama. I politely declined his proposal and explained to him there was just way to many questions about Barak Obama’s past for me to support him for any office. If these questions where answered and I thought I could actually believe Barak Obama then perhaps my response would be better. The fact that Barak Obama stayed in his racist church listening to the racists rants of Reverend Wright in my mind totally disqualifies him as president of the United States. I don’t even need to look at the other associations with questionable associations such as Father Pfleger and Tony Rezko to disqualify him as a potential President of the United States.
