Now that Senator Obama has finally won the actual number of delegates in order to guarantee himself his party's presidential nomination, one would think that Senator Clinton would do the honorable thing and concede and congratulate him and endorse him for winning the nomination. Unfortunately, that is too much to expect from the dishonorable self-interested politics of the Clintons. The announcement late today that they would be making a major announcement on Saturday (in order to buy time to try to extract some more money from their foolish supporters to pay off their debts and also to try to gain influence over their party's convention and platform) is yet another indication that the Clintons are always working for their selfish needs and not for those of their party, let alone their country. We can only hope that Senator Obama does not make the foolish mistake of picking Senator Clinton as his running mate (or for any major role in his administration if he wins the presidency) because that will delay the much needed, long overdue final exit of the Clintons from the national political scene.
