Obama to Hillary: Find Yourself Another Place to Fall

“Well I don't see no holes in the road but you - find another place to fall”
Barry's Happy Hour karaoke plea to Hillary
(Special thanks to KT Tunstall)



Hillary Clinton is going down, and, according to this article has been “unable to accept that.” At the same time, Barack Obama is picking up more Superdelegates than a certain shunned, Chicago South Side black pastor lands talk-show guest appearances.

So why is Hillary still in the race? Hoping that some charge against Obama will stick, that he will make a fatal error, or that something in his background will destroy his candidacy, Hillary can’t seem to give up her lifelong dream of being Queen of the Country.

When Hillary does formally announce her withdrawl, will she something like “I didn’t leave the race, the race left me”? Well, that all depends on whose race we’re talking about, because, as Hillary recently summed it up:



“Sen. Obama's support among working, hardworking Americans, white Americans, is weakening again” and how “whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”


In the meantime, Obama is looking like the victor and David Axelrod or Rahm Emmanuel could have written these lyrics to describe Barry’s present mood:


Another Place to Fall
KT Tunstall


Are you blind
Blind to me trying to be kind
Volunteering for your firing line
Waiting for one precious sign
The flicker of a smile
You should try it just once in a while
Maybe it's not quite your style
It's simply too easy to do
And you might not see it through
See it through
Ooh, so
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Are you proud
To have founded a brand new behaviour
With hatred and hurt as your saviour
But nobody's choosing to follow
So you choke back the tears and you swallow
Men who have ruined your life
You consume them with minimum strife
But now you have got indigestion
The antacid comes as a question
Ooh, so
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
There isn't much more I can say
For I don't understand the delay
You're asking for friendly advice
And remaining in permanent crisis
Affection is yours if you ask
But first you must take off your mask
When you're back's turned I've decided
I'll throw it away just like I did
Ooh, so
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall


Happy Friday!
