Maya Angelou Thinks Barack Lacks Experience
One of Oprah Winfre's favorite people in the world, Maya Angelous has come out in support of Hillary.
The Clinton campaign is featuring the esteemed poet in a new radio commercial featuring her distinctive and captivating voice.
Says Angelou:
“As a child, Hillary Clinton was taught that all God’s children are equal, so as a mother she understood that her child wasn’t safe unless all children were safe.
I know what kind of president Hillary Clinton will be because I know who she is. Hillary Clinton has always been a strong woman and a passionate protector of families. For 35 years, that’s exactly what she has been doing.
Each generation of African Americans stands on the shoulders of those who came before. Today, the challenges facing us threaten the dreams we have had for our children. We need a president with the experience and strength to meet those challenges.
I am inspired by Hillary Clinton’s commitment and courage — a daughter, a wife, a mother — my girl.”
This Is Bullshit

Everyone can gloss over the Clinton era as a great and wonderful time because they hope we don't have a long memory. This is just one more person that has choosen to put a colorful candy shell over Bill and Hill. What they don't realize is that beneath that candy coated shell are Two Maggots that will eat their way through - That's just what maggots Do - . Hillary has taken elocution lessions, body language lessons, lessons in spin control and lessons in debate strategy. What she has FAILED to do is change the color of her heart and that of her husband's. And maybe it is that color that Maya feels comfortable with, because it's clearly not a decision based on character.
HAH! Thats what I said when I saw this.
I think its QUITE INTERESTING that OPRAH is BLACK before she is a WOMAN!
thats what I think.
Ummm…HELLO! it's obvious that Maya Angelou is really Oprah Winfrey without makeup!
just trying to create buzz about herself again cuz the mag sux.
another case solved by scooby dooby dooooo!
You know, just because Oprah likes Ms. Angelou's work does not mean they have to be of the same mind election wise. Also, methinks Oprah might just be getting her novice political feet wet, perhaps with a personal eye to her own future - and Barack may help her to facilitate that. For some reason, I just don't see Hillary giving Oprah a piece of the mentor pie. Just a random theory.

The Clintons are larvae that were deposited by the democratic party in New York to consume and eat the brains and heart of unsuspecting host bodies. But it was never going to be enough for them, they always had they appetite geared for the entire nation because we all know that they need to rewrite Bill's legacy. And now you see these maggoty maggots slowly eating their way across the country. One of the most notable feasting events was that of Bill's sexual harassement victim's, they supped to their hearts delight on them. But they were eating long before that and they will feast long after that - IF You Let Them.
And don't forget people, Bill feasted overseas on the bodies of all the dead Serbians when he sanctioned American bombers ot carry out unrelenting air strikes on their cities and villages. His body count included the very young and the very old with EVERYTHING in between. He is up to his ears in blood, guts and gore and I ain't talkin' about Al.
This is the most intelligent statement I have heard from ANYONE throughout this whole campaign. She is a wise woman.
You might bet better to listen to her Perez instead of your bank balance. Wow your looking like Sharon Ozbourne, a red horse. Did you eat her?
Wow- what did she have to do to get THAT endorsement? So is Maya waiting to be poet laureate of the US and Hillary promised it? Wow- i do predict that a fair number of blacks will not vote for Obama. He seems too full of the usual promises, and the word TAXES scares everyone.
Wow it really amazes me on how many ignorant people have voting power. People need to research the candidates views and history before they vote. I right now am undecided but have looked into both Hillary's and Barack's political experience and yes Hillary has more. She is a member of many more committies/caucuses/organizations than Barack. She has been in the Senate longer. And I'm pretty sure she learned a thing or two as First Lady to a Senator and the President.
Someone said Democrats suck? Well yeah ok .. look at Bush. More countries hate America now more than ever since Bush has been in office. We are in the brink of possibly going into a recession.
I really don't care much about who is backing who. I don't care for Oprah, nor do I care for Ted Kennedy. I don't really know much about Maya so none of their endorsements are swaying me in any one direction.
Be wise people…this election should not be about gender or race but about who can get the job done.
who the fuck is maya angoulous and who gives a rat's ass who she supports???
Barack has the exact same amount of experience as Hillary.
Check your facts, bitches.
Besides being a senator the only thing Hillary has done is slept with Bill.
And if that really mattered Paula Jones, Ginnifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky and several other women would be eligible.
If Democrats really cared for the experienced candidate they'd have elected Dodd, Biden or one of the other people. Hillary is nothing but a successful wife of a president.
maya angelou is the SHIT. and i know why the caged bird sings is my favorite book.
hillary is also the shit.
oh yeah and obama is NOT a muslim!!! what the fuck people!
check out bill yukking it up in the background
this raisin's poetry sucks, she thinks she's a sage because people kiss her ass for being a raisin with diastima
I've got a good idea for everyone: VOTE REPUBLICAN. Stop swallowing what the media spoon feeds you, and decide for yourself!
no one cares who she endorses — this is just another Hillary promo and does not hurt Obama in the least….
For the past '35' year Hillary was a lawyer in a firm, she was the first lady of Arkansas, she was first lady of the US and now she is Senator of NY for the past few years. She is quite accomplished but I don't really see how this is so monumental. She doesn't get credit for being President just because she was married to a President! Besides the Billary Clinton power hungry machine will do and say anything, do not trust them!!!!!!
I am truly shocked by Maya Angelo backing Hillary. I believe Hillary to have set women back 20 years by her NON action of her husband's affairs while in office, his behavior with Monica. She told women by her action, be very afraid of your powerful husband. Don't stand up for your own powerful self. If she had had the ovaries she claims to have, and left her husband. It would have set our country in a powerful direction concerning women and our rights. Former President Clinton, has lied to Congress and has set an poor example to our young people."Oral sex is NOT sex." I think these people, former President Clinton and Ms Hillary are a disgrace to our country and representing it. Snap out of it Maya Angelo! Bulls&#t does not become you! And Ms Hillary, may I ask you about Mr. Foster? Whitewater? Arkansas Mafia? 911? Thats what I tought…gawd people.
How about you correct your spelling? Its Oprah Winfrey with a "Y", Thank You.
Re: Christi – #22 Christi
What you know about Obama would not even fill up the back of a postage stamp; and that's what you are basing your statement of that he would make a horrible president??
.
Me thinks that for you and most other haters that it's a visual thing. Also tell me something else, what was GWB's vast experience in foreign affairs that warrented him being elected his first term?? Whats the matter, don't have the gonzos to just admit the real reason?
Berkley Vs USCLB. Donald Vs Don. Pumpkin Head Vs Angel Head
I knew it would take a woman to see the light. When I went to College in the States I chose USCLB. I loved it. Coming from Australia, I had a blast. Must say that of all the friends I made I connected best with the African American girls. I loved their sense of humour and like me they were really down to earth. They weren’t all about shopping and spending. More family orientated and they really went out of their way to make me feel included, although at first it was like, why is this white girl hanging with us. Everyone thought I was Austrian, which kind of worked cause then English is my second language…and if you have ever seen my spelling….I’m much better verbally than on paper.
Vlade Divac and Peja Stojakovic had to muster every once of strength and courage for their Sacramento King's playoff team in 1999. All the while they were on the court and sitting the bench their adoptive country was bombing the hell out of their home country of Serbia with massive air strikes sanctioned by NATO and orchestrated by Wesley Clark, 'member him? He's a good friend of the Clintons. Guess who was in the White House during the Serbian-Albanian conflict? Bill Clinton. Vlade and Peja were running on maybe two hours of sleep each day because they were desparately trying to keep in contact with their loved ones at home, hoping against hope that it would not be the last time they would hear from them. We bombed the BEJESUS out of Kosovo and racked up a massive civilian body count. What's nauseating is that NOBODY is talking about it now. Bill has blood on his hands people, don't let anyone fool you.
All these old head negro's are in need of money and Slickary has plenty! Would these negros feel these confortable commenting about a candidate if Obama was a Bernstein? I think not!
Sit the F*&K down and shut up, Dr. Maya, A. Young and stupid A*( Bob (posion your community) Johnson. The people that see America's Potential aren't listening to you anyway.
There were MANY CHILDREN orphaned during the Serbian-Albanian conflict and our commander-in-chief at the time, BILL CLINTON, had a bloody, bloody hand in it. And since Hillary is claimly she gained her phantom "experience" during this time, she then, is just as culpable. She and Bill are both "mothers" all right, but Maya left off the adendum, Fuckers.
Either way it goes Hillary or Obama it will be a historic moment.
Re: Pretty in Pink Louboutins – You are SO RIGHT!!! What was that experience again?? I like the comment about being married to an electrician too, whoever said that…does that make you able to do his job?
Hillary will bring this Country down. So, as bad as you think it is now, people be prepared if she is elected!! You can't expect to have everything handed to you and not think anyone has to pay for it! I worked hard to have everything that I have, you may not have it because Hillary or "Billary" choose to give it to you. If you want charity from me, be part of one of the charities I give to every month. Abused women and children, wells for life, and the food bank. Other than that, you are on your own!
I agree, I support Hillary!!!!!!!
Re: Roxy – Gee–and George Bush is so respectful that he sent the Marines to die in a war so he could make money off them. Then he makes their widows pay back their loans for school when they barely have enough to eat and live on–yeah, I'm so proud of that. I'm so proad that now the gov't lets mentally challenged people be drafted because all the smart people know it's a sham. He feeds off these poor people
I have been feeling uncomfortable with Bill Clintons role in this race. I almost fell out of my chair the other night after the SC race. Who was on stage making the concession speech but Bill. He had been in SC more than his wife. Bill is running again. That makes me uncomfortable. It is like he has found a way around the United States Constitution.
I have had 7 years under a leader that worked more at getting around the United States Constitution than anything else. I'm sick of leaders who feel above the law.
In my heart, my mind, my gut… I know it's wrong.

Why is it that no one is asking the Clintons about the donations from Dubai and Saudi Arabia where the Clintons have been acquiring approximately $10 million a year, not to their campaign, which its not allowed, but making contributions directly into their personal Bank Accounts?? These funds have been deposited to Bill's account and to the Clinton Library and Foundation Accounts. Is this why they have refused to release their income tax returns? Just askin… Think about it !!!

Maya has my most devoted admiration. This is a "real woman" never afraid to speak her mind, has a mind of her own and can think independently. I even admire her more now than ever. Maya is a friend of Oprah and is not easily convinced about Oprah's choices, regardless of how much money Oprah has. What I like about Maya is that she is not racist like Oprah, she can recognize talent, skills and pay no attention to the color of the skin. Just amazing!!! I am sad to say this but all the people that I personally know who are black, they are voting Obama because they want to see a black president. That is not the best reason why they should vote for Obama. It's too bad that people cannot see through Obama, he's so arrogant, I can't stand to see his ego growing larger than the entire planet. ALl of you that dare to say that Hillary is just a senator, or Bill's wife; go to her website and find out what a truly remarkable woman, a "real woman" she is. She raised a wonderful daughter and has endured quite a lot. Hillary will be our next president and I am extremely happy to help make history. Vote for Hillary!!!
i like how is making fun of her in the background or that hillary will be president dont mess will my maya jackass!!!!
YAY MAYA and Hillary!
ALL YOU FUCKING LOSERS ARE ASSHOLES…..STOP YOUR BITCHIN AND GO AND VOTE!! DUMB FUCKS!!!!
YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! I admire Obama and his idealism…HOWEVER…Hillary is our next president!!! She competent, compassionate, experienced… GO HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clinton DOES have more experience in government and politics than Obama. He's onlyhad one term. That's not to say he absolutely could not be successful, but it's more of a gamble with him. Now, Obama can make a moving speech (I see the comparison to Kennedy in that way), and I agree with his platform- any Democrat will be good news for this country. But Clinton is such a passionate expert, particularly when it comes to health care. Plus, she gives many more specifics when asked what she'd do as Pres. Obama speaks in generalities.
And seriously- does he really think he's going to be able to singlehandedly change the system? How, exactly? He never talks about that! How is he going to get both houses of Congress- old and young, Dem and Repub., to stop doing things the way they've always been done? Not saying it's impossible, but I'd like to hear some specifics before I give away my vote blindly…
Perez, you've definitely got the right candidate. (But come one- you could pretend to be impartial…)
FUCK MAYA AND WHAT SHE THINKS…WTF DOES SHE KNOW? HAS SHE EVER PRESIDENT? AND HILLARY'S ASS IS A DEMON! WATCH.

Ah, a woman for "families" except all the babies she will have a hand in killing by allowing late term abortions and allowing abortion mills. Too bad all those aborted baby girls won't live to see a woman president or a black president.
Toni Morrison, however, supports Obama. Hillary is a voice of the establishment, not a force for change– she's voted pro-war, pro-torture bill, pro-Patriot act, you name it.
I wish I were American just so I could vote for Hillary. Oh well at least I get to be Canadian.
i think hillary would be a great president the only reason ophra wants obama bcuz his black and shes black it shouldnt even be about race at all.
Wow, what a ringing endorsement–after all, Maya's just SO damn wise, she SO influential and, don't forget she knows why the caged bird sings…I'll stick with Obama, thank you.
Rock Out for Hillary!!!!
Obama….Doesn't it sound like Osama….You fucking under educated americans, vote in this muslem/jew/african in, and its over!!!!!
Wake up!!!!!
Re: WHATEVER – uhhh wow.. that comment itself shows how stupid u are
i love maya angelou!!! she knows whats up!!!
Maya Angelou is a damn muppet and if she thinks that anyone is gonna listen to her old ass she's got another thing coming. Hilary doesn't have any damn experience, she's trying to use her husbands experience as her own, all because you were married to someone in the white house doesn't mean that you have experience. The only reason that she even stayed with Bill is to further her political career. Maya Angelou just lost all respect and I hope that Oprah cuts her off. It's time for a change and that change is Barack Obama.
Ok, this is just crazy. Barack and Hilary are in an all out mud slingin fight. Their in the mud pits and slingin mud at each other. Like "Take that!" "Here's mud in your eye!" "Well take some for your face!"…..you get the drift. But my goodness, Hilary's husband went and pulled a trump card. Guess Bill is teaching Hilary how to play Spades. He looks like he's in the back of this picture saying, "Take that Obama! Ha!". It may be a spade he pulled, but it's not the Trump. Hopefully Obama has that card. ;D

Maya Angelou is a typical black bourgeoisie that caters to the oppressor under the auspices of the post-post feminist vote and female empowerment. You won't be at Obama's Inaugural Ball or Oprah's Legends Ball. Still I rise? Please, sit down!
Maya Angelou is correct. I have nothing against Barack Obama. He appears to be a good man and a good public servant. But, as Ms. Angelou states and as I believe to be true: Obama does not have the experience that Senator Clinton has. Team Hillary all the way 2008! Hillary can and will fix the mess made by President Dingleberry for the past 8 years!
BUSH … LACKED EXPERIENCE AND HAS WRECKED OUR COUNTRY. LET'S CORRECT THAT SH!T WITH SOMEONE WHO ISN'T A PART OF THE CORPORATE MACHINE. WITH OUR SUPPORT, OBAMA CAN DO THAT (without lying to us).
Barak has limited experience -he has spent more time running for elected positions than getting anything done.
He is no JFK or even MLK. So far he hasn't DONE anything. As for Hilary, she tried to get health care for
everyone years ago. She has also been an activist for a number of causes for over 35 years. And why is it okay
for Barak to benefit from who his parents happened to be and not okay for Hilary to have a husband who was
president of the US?
