Hillary Clinton looking for Campaign Song

Just when the Presidential election could not get anymore ridiculous, it has once again taken another interesting turn.

I know what you are thinking and it is not true. Texas Congressman Ron Paul did not get beaten up by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in a University of South Carolina parking lot.

Hillary Clinton is asking the American people for help in selecting a campaign song for the upcoming election. You can go to her website and vote for your favorite. The list is as follows:

"City of Blinding Lights" - U2
"Suddenly I See" - KT Tunstall
"I'm a Believer" - Smash Mouth
"Get Ready" - The Temptations
"Ready to Run" - Dixie Chicks
"Rock this Country!" - Shania Twain
"Beautiful Day" - U2
"Right Here, Right Now" - Jesus Jones
"I'll Take You There" - The Staple Singers

If you are a Republican looking to "Rock the Vote" so to speak, I would suggest voting for "Suddenly I See" by KT Tunstall. Now follow me with this one. Let's look at some of the lyrics to that song because I am sure that you could come up with a few jokes of your own already.

Just imagine her walking out to address the Democratic National Convention with this song playing in the background. Remember, I am only thinking of your entertainment.

Her face is a map of the world

Is a map of the world

You can see she's a beautiful girl

She's a beautiful girl

And everything around her is a silver pool of light

The people who surround her feel the benefit of it

It makes you calm

She holds you captivated in her palm

Clinton, Obama campaigns spar over Fundraiser

THE STORY: The recent spat between Democratic Presidential front-runners Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton has got the world of politics talking.

Recently, a former Clinton fundraiser David Geffen held an event for the junior Senator from Illinois that reportedly raised over a million dollars. Also, in a recent New York Times op-ed piece by Maureen Dowd, the fundraiser is quoted saying bad things about his former beneficiaries.

Geffen described both former President Bill Clinton and Mrs. Clinton as "liars" who do it with ease. Moreover, Geffen continued saying that "Obama is inspirational, and he’s not from the Bush royal family or the Clinton royal family."

In response, the Clinton campaigned fired at the Obama campaign by saying that the money should be returned and Geffen should be removed from the campaign.

Quickly responding back, the Obama campaign threw a jab at the Clinton campaign saying that the Clintons were not troubled when Geffen was raising "$18 million" for their campaign and staying in the Lincoln bedroom in the White House at their request.

When asked about the allegations in a recent interview shown on CNN, Senator Obama remarked that there were thousands of supports to his campaign that have differences with the other candidates. He also stated, "Why would I be apologizing for someone else's remarks?"

MY TAKE: Our nation is as strong as we are because of the freedoms of free speech guaranteed within the First Amendment of the Constitution. For millions of Americans, it stands as an important cornerstone for our identity even though we have not always been on the right side of the argument with the Alien & Sedition Acts of 1798 and the Espionage Act of 1917.

For Senator Clinton, the race to the White House will not simply be an easy as many people first predicted. Also, her base is starting to crumble which is a contrast from the "unbelievably strong" base that many believed her to have.

Also, as Mr. Geffen so eloquently put it, Senator Obama IS an inspirational figure as he has gone from Illinois State Senator to American Celebrity in under two years.

Unfortunately in our American society, politics has become extraordinarily about money which has claimed many victims by causing them not to run for our nation's highest office, most recently former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack.

Even thought the Clinton campaign may be upset with Geffen's "flip-flop" of support, there is relatively nothing that they can do to stop him from holding fundraisers and speaking in support of another candidate.

As more citizens should do, Mr. Geffen is simply expressing his views and the Bill of Rights gives him the right to express those views in question.

The problem for the Clinton campaign is that, unlike years past, Geffen's tone has changed and his comments are doing the opposite of what they had originally thought would be a quick and easy campaign.
