I didn't ask you to put my on ignore. Just reminded you that you have that option if my posts get you so upset.
The changes I believe he WILL make: competence, transparency, and honesty in the White House. Appointments of QUALIFIED people.
Contrary to what you like to believe, I have been critical of both these candidates over the campaign. Hillary really pissed me off with the sniper fire story.
I had also always shown a stated SLIGHT preference for Hillary, as I gave her some points for having been first lady. I am not bitter or angry that Obama won the nomination.
I would point out to you that HE, in his victory speech, pointed out that her staying in the race helped him become a better campaigner.
Was he lying then? I don't think so.
Many have posted here that her staying in might contribute to him losing in November. On the other hand, according to his own words, it will help him win in November.
This man was extremely gracious in his victory. Pity you cannot follow his lead.

What does what Obama said in his victory speech have to do with anything?
You are simple-mindedly creating a straw man because you are stubborn and will never admit you were wrong about anything.
Not accepting PAC money and lobbyist money will change the way Washington does business. You cleverly (in your own mind) substituted the word "Congress", which is not what Obama said.
Just last week you were saying that Obama was
lying when he said that he would change the way D.C. does business.
You also defended Hillary's indefensible assassination remark, saying that she just meant there could be an assassination, a plane crash, an automobile accident. I am not alone in suspecting that you are still hoping for one of the above.
And it is disingenuous for you to single me out as not being gracious when you seem to have no fan club at the other board either.
