Waters: HRC Is A Problem Solver
Reading from a prepared statement, California Rep. Maxine Waters endorsed Hillary Clinton today saying she "is on a first-name basis with community leaders in our urban centers."
"Hillary Clinton is a no-nonsense, articulate and experienced public policy maker who has demonstrated the ability to solve real problems," she said.
Waters, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus who represents Los Angeles, said that the Democratic Party this year is "blessed with a lot of confident, articulate and compassionate candidates," but that she's backing Clinton because she knows how to get things done.
Clinton said Waters would join her on the stump in the days leading up to California's critical Feb. 5 primary. HRC said the endorsement is one of the most meaningful she's received.
Asked by a reporter to offer her feelings about Ted Kennedy's support for rival Barack Obama, Clinton said: "We all have people who feel very committed to our candidacies, and that's all to the good."
"At the end of the day this comes down to a choice between individuals, each of us with our experience, our qualifications, our plans for the future," Clinton said.

"...and that's all to the good" Way to go Congress Woman Waters; show white America how ghetto you truly are!

I am behind both Clinton and Obama. But, Clinton captured my heart and mind.

Thank you Maxine! You are a class act. You are a model to all Americans by showing that what is important is NOT RACE, NOT GENDER, NOT VAGUE PROMISES OF STUFF.
Thank you for being a cool calm collected voice of reason. Thank you for showing us that reasonable minds come to a conclusion: HILLARY CAN SOLVE PROBLEMS. That is what we need right now.

I am SOOOOOO disappointed in Maxine Waters. Hillary Clinton has done NOTHING in the inner city even though she "might" be on a first name basis with community leaders. And why would anyone who is Black support Hillary Clinton when EVERYTIME she gets around Black people she is so condescending...."and that's all to the good"???? WOW!
