Hillary, It's President of the UNITED States, not the Divided States

Hillary, the statements that pop out of your mouth are just mind boggling.  I can't believe that a person running for President of the United States would say (or think it was cute or funny - you have a strange sense of humor) that Republicans are right up there with Iranians as being "enemies" of which you are most proud to have made.

You need to have something explained to you, Hillary.  If you are elected POTUS, you have to WORK with Republicans - you know, the folks you claimed to be so proud to have as your enemies.  If you are elected POTUS, then you are President of the ENTIRE country, including about a third of which who are your self-proclaimed enemies, Republicans.  Can you really be so stupid that you think that making the comment that you did to pander to the far left, would make you friends among Republicans or, more importantly, the independents whose votes you actually need to win a general election?  Let me make this clear to you:  your position that Republicans are your enemies (and you are proud of that fact) has disqualified you for my vote for POTUS.  Ever.

Now, let's turn to a couple of more worthy Democrats.  

Today, Jim Webb, a former Secretary of the Navy during the Reagan years, and a Democratic Senator from Virginia, announced he was no longer running for POTUS as a Democrat.  Some of what he said had to do with his discomfort with the folks running the parties and policies held by both parties, and because he was tired of political parties being put ahead of what was best for the country and the American people.  Jim Webb, I commend you.  Thank you for stating the obvious, well, at least the obvious to those of us who are not sheep who follow political parties blindly.  Please give serious thought to a run as an independent candidate.  The American people need more voices like yours speaking out.

Joe Biden - okay, Joe, it's time to announce one way or the other.  It's like a guy waiting for an answer to a marriage proposal - you just can't drag it out forever.  That said, I hope you do run for POTUS.  Please run!  You see, Joe has said not once, but twice this week, that "Republicans are not enemies; they're friends."  Yes, Joe, they are.  They are also fellow Americans, who have the same rights under the Constitution to express their opinions, even if they differ from Hillary's and other self-proclaimed "tolerant" Democrats (but in reality, those who yell the loudest proclaiming their tolerance tend to be the most intolerant through their words and actions - see Hillary - Republicans are my enemies because I disagree with them). Thank you Joe, for showing that you understand that the office is of the President of the UNITED States, and not the Divided states as some of your fellow Democrats seem to like it.  Although I may disagree with you, Joe on some things if not many things, I do believe that you have a good heart and that you will do what you believe is best for the country, and you will work across the aisle to get something done in a Biden presidency, unlike the gridlock we have experienced in the Obama administration and likely in a Hillary administration.  

So, Hillary, learn from JIm Webb and Joe Biden, or just pack up your tent.  The country does not need another 4-8 years of divisive politics like you are pushing.
