This is why Obama will NEVER be elected - Obama's supporters have offended every group that is standing for Hillary (which is just about everyone but blacks and those too young to remember how much we all loved the Clintons). I used to want Hillary to win, have Obama as her VP, and have Obama as the President after her.
Sorry, but this is simply not true. I am old enough to have voted for Bill Clinton and I did (twice) and I am also a big Obama supporter. I also happen to be a white male and I haven't been offended by Obama.
Your post is right on one point though. You say that we all loved the Clinton's and this is true. I was a big Bill Clinton fan prior to this campaign. Things were good when he was president and he has done a lot of good charitable work since then. When he and Hillary brought up race and class though it was over. I don't love the Clinton's any more.
You don't have to be a racist to vote for Hillary. I'll bet most of her supporters are not racist but the fact remains that Hillary was pandering to racists to get votes.
Obama has said that it's time to move on from all of this race, gender, religion divisiveness and make real change. He has even said that people in other parties might have a good idea time to time and we should at least listen to each other.
If you want to continue the politics of division than Hillary is definitely your candidate. You can vote for her in 2012 or 2016 if you'd like. You can vote for her this time around if you're in one of the six remaining primary states but she's already lost this time around.
