Anything Can Happen-Says Senator Hillary Clinton!

WORD-UP:

Anything Can Happen-Hillary Clinton!

Hillary Clinton said on air that she is staying in the race because history has shown, that anything can happen. And made specific reference to Bobby Kennedy's assassination in 1968.

CNN and other news anchors said, she may have been tired, she didn't mean it, she is probably confused, etc.

This is all pandering to her misgivings. If Barack Obama had made those comments, he would have received hate mail, the voters would not vote for him any longer, and those who claim that he is an underground terrorist. Will say, you see, I always believed that he was a terrorist, and that is the validation.

Call a Spade-A-Spade, this comment by Hillary Clinton, have serious ramifications within the Black communities, and only time will tell who will suffer politically in the future!

WORD-UP:

New Police Gun With A Camera!

A new police gun is on trial in Orange County-New Jersey Police Dept. This gun has a camera mounted at the tip of the stem, and takes pics of everything that happens immediately after the gun is removed from it's holster.

It is claimed that this will help police investigations whenever there is a dispute about police behavior. This gun also have audio to record everything said by the user, while it is being used by the policeman/woman at the time of the incident.

Conclusion:

* This gun does not record what happens before it is removed from it's holster.

* Nor it doesn't record anything that happens after it is replaced back in the holster either.

* So how would investigators determine what has occurred, to warrant it being used subsequently.

* And there is no way of knowing what has happened to the suspect or suspects, after they have been apprehended, injured or killed either!

Therefore, the circumstances surrounding the outcome prior to or after the fact, still rests with the statement/s given by the policeman /woman in such investigations.

Meeting With World Leaders Or State Leaders?

We live in a world where some segments of this community feels that they have superior morality over others. And that is a fact of life.

Having said that, I will also add, that the current back and forth between Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama about who would or would not sit with Iran's current leadership, is a case in point.

On the world stage, states that have been recognized as such, and have been members of The United Nations, have some protocols that they honor, and expect their leaders to follow when dealing with or meeting with each other.

On the diplomatic front, ambassadors are the fronline communicators and initiators for their governments, followed by their respective governmental leaders,such as Prime Ministers or Presidents.

This protocol has been practiced for centuries now, and seems to be the expected mode to adopt, when dealing diplomatically with other nation states.

So accusing Senator Barack Obama as naive is most ridiculous. Because if he is elected to the presidency, he too will follow those guidelines for diplomatic relations.

And he too will decide who or with whom to meet with directly, under what circumstance, and where political expediency dictates.
