think she has used Obama as a shield. Even though I bet Obama would love to throw her under the Bus for Libya after she forced him with a contested convention to get SoS appointment.

In case of alert - "Magical Negro" is not a slur, but is a term used to describe the common movie cliché in which a black character with hidden supernatural powers but little to no independent character arc of their own, helps white people get out of trouble or find their inner strength or goodness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=magical+negro

but watch out, someone is going to cry foul over the term, (not me, I know the context)

Makes me smile. Thanks.

He was not forced to pick her for SoS in any way.

She lost fair and square.

Obama is just a good man and offered it to her after she busted her ass for him in the election.

He has said it was one of the best decisions he made in his presidency.

All that talk about her southern firewall was because of blacks, not women. Women tend to be dispersed uniformly about the country.

Interesting that now Clinton is distancing herself from Obama now that the southern primaries are over.

Please do not insult me.

Its not news.

The thing is u and others were not predicting this.

Dont act like you were.

Minorities.

Honestly I would believe you... you definitely love yourself some Clinton.

She was my third choice. I was bernie, omalley, clinton. Then omalley, clinton. Then I saw he was not getting ahead so I went Clinton. If you search my posts before july you will see I did not prefer her at all in anyway. I felt sad when omalley dropped out because he was the one I wanted to win.

You tried to explain why Clinton is supported by many black people and what Sanders should do. And got attacked for it.

I think the outrage over me saying anything was what opened my eyes up.

1. Concern about Supreme Court & affirmative action, they'd rather have any Dem in the next four years instead of taking a risk.
2. They liked Bill, had to push Hillary aside because Obama was Obama, now its her turn.
3. Sanders Jewish, lives in state where black issues don't exist.

And she knows it, any other candidate would have run ads from 2008 showing all the racist things they did against Obama. She knows B will never do that.

Clinton doesn't need saving.

And yes, the candidate with the most votes wins.

But yes, AAs are the champions!

You'd think people who remember America pre-Reagan would want a man like Bernie. Still, she's going to have a lot of promises to keep to her Black supporters. I wonder if she can do it. Being a hawk, I imagine a lot of them will be sent somewhere to fight for his/her country. But you get what you vote for.

If the voters in Illinois are reminded enough of HRC's ties to Rahm, her support amon AA voters there may erode further.
