PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS, OR DEMOCRAT PREVIEW, GOING INTO "SUPER TUESDAY?"

Overwhelmingly, most people across the nation thought and commented on how President Bush finished his last "State of the Union Address" and came across with flying colors. Which is odd, as his approval rating is anywhere from 26% to 33% approval rating, depending on what pole a person looks at?

However, the real story is not what President Bush said, in his fifty minute speech. The real story is how the people of the American Congress and Senate filed into the Hall. "Super Tuesday," where the American voters will go the polls and decide which candidate (both democrat and republican) could be their actual candidate for the general election, is just about one week away. The real story, that is not being spoken about in the media, is Barrack Obama and Hillary "Billary" Clinton filing into the hall and who they had behind and by their side, tonight.

Barrack Obama, the junior senator from Illinois breaks the plain of the door and directly behind him, non other than Ted Kennedy and John Kerry. Both Hillary Clinton and Obama had been jockeying for position, to get the "Kennedy Family" endorsement, as they are the foundation and are steadfastly the ultimate Democrat family. However, today the Kennedy's endorsed Democratic Candidate for President, Barrack Obama. After democrats (including Ted Kennedy) scorning Bill Clinton for his antics, the Clinton "Machine" passive aggressively playing the race card, and Hillary inevitably losing the South Carolina primary last Saturday, the Kennedy's then came out today and stuck the dagger into the heart of Hillary Clinton, with an endorsement for Obama.

The endorsement was a big stick in the arm for the Obama campaign, but the words the Kennedy's spoke at the podium were the actual dagger putting Hillary on the defensive, if not her campaign on possible "life support." Ted Kennedy Booming at the microphone for over 20 minutes, on how Obama's campaign stating comments like: "I feel change in the air. What about you?" and "With Barack Obama, we will turn the page on the old politics of misrepresentationand distortion. With Barack Obama wewill close the book on the old politics of race against race, gender against gender, ethnic group against ethnic group, and straight against gay," Kennedy said. Then, Barrack Obama was introduced by Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late president, who said Obama "offers that same sense of hope and inspiration" as did her father. Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island, son of the senator, also offered his support. With these comments from the majority of the Kennedy family, in person and on the stage with Obama, it brings a sense of nostalgia of the John F. Kennedy days to older voters and also brings validity to Obama with both white independent voters and democratic voters. Therefore, was there any surprise that Ted Kennedy and John Kerry were walking right behind, the "junior senator/presidential candidate" Barrack Obama, tonight? I highly doubt it, because there is cabinet space and power to be had, if Obama becomes president.

The fun did not stop there either, because the republican candidates who were all in Florida preparing for Tuesday's Florida vote, that only leaves Hillary Clinton to come into the address (as John Edwards does not have any position, at present, but was a former senator). When the doors opened up wide, Hillary boomed into the room. Yet, earlier in the day, the Clintons actually played down the South Carolina loss, Bill's antics, and that they are still in the lead with the electoral votes across the country to date. When Hillary, ensconced in a scarlet pant suit entered the room, directly behind her (former presidential candidate) Joe Biden and Chris Dodd. As stated before, places in a cabinet to be had and points to be won, and what better way for Hillary to accomplish that, then to have two former Presidential and outspoken candidates by her side.

Politics is a contact sport, but even though both Clinton and Obama were just two feet apart in the aisle tonight, there were no kind words to be had. They sat just four senators apart and neither made eye contact and/or spoke a word to each other, neither did any of their "subordinates," or eye candy aisle toy senators. The next week will be ugly, with a capitol "U," period. However, tonight was a decent serving, upon watching what was supposed to be President Bush's farewell address, between the lines their was more democratic politics in just the aisle, then anything that Mr. Bush said at the podium. U-G-L-Y!
