Maxine Waters Endorses Hillary Clinton
"Hillary Clinton is a no-nonsense, articulate and experienced public-policy maker," said Waters. "I believe Hillary Clinton has the knowledge and experience to understand not only the needs of my constituents, but all constituents."
"Our party must be led by somebody who is capable of carrying out the dreams and aspirations of all Americans."

"At a time when the economy continues to worsen and so many of my constituents are losing their homes and their jobs, we need someone with the leadership and experience who can step in on day one to tackle the economic challenges our country is facing," Waters said. "Hillary understands the daily challenges that people are facing and she will fight for them everyday she is in the White House."

Liberal California Democrat (Maxine Waters) endorses Clinton
Hillary Clinton received the endorsement of Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat who could provide crucial support when Democrats there vote in next week's Super Tuesday slate of primaries and caucuses.
Waters praised the New York senator and former First Lady as "no nonsense, articulate and experienced policymaker" who will be ready from her first day in office to make "dreams a reality."
Clinton and Waters spoke to reporters on a conference call Tuesday, 24 hours after Barack Obama scored a publicity coup when he was endorsed by Ted Kennedy, the "liberal lion" of the Senate and one of the most influential Democrats on the national stage.
Clinton said the Waters endorsement was especially cherished because of her "connection to her constituents." Waters' Los Angeles-area district is a bastion of Democratic support in California populated primarily by black and Hispanic voters.
Waters, who is in her ninth term in the House, is one of its most liberal members, a member of the Progressive Caucus and co-sponsor of a resolution aimed at impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney. She also is a former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, and her backing comes as Clinton's campaign faces charges that it has inappropriately inserted race into the primary contests.
Waters predicted Clinton would win California, which holds its primary Feb. 5 along with more than 20 other states.
Clinton also said she was "proud" to receive the endorsement of three children of Robert F. Kennedy, the brother of Ted Kennedy and former President John F. Kennedy who was assassinated during his own presidential campaign. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Kerry Kennedy wrote in the Los Angeles Times that Clinton was "the strongest candidate" for America and the Democratic party.
"Democrats believe that America should not be torturing people, eavesdropping on our citizens or imprisoning them without habeas corpus or other constitutional rights. We should not be an imperial power. We need healthcare for all and a clean, safe environment," they wrote.
"The loftiest poetry will not solve these issues. We need a president willing to engage in a fistfight to safeguard and restore our national virtues."
Regardless of who is endorsing whom, though, Clinton said the election ultimately came down to a choice between individuals.
"I trust the voters to sort this out for themselves," she declared.

Oh No! Say it ain't so Maxine!
Then again, she's been around a while and may feel she owes some debts. |

Maxine Waters: "Hillary Clinton is a no-nonsense, articulate and experienced public-policy maker."
I believe that says it all. That could have been said about Maxine Waters and every word if it would have been DEAD RIGHT. To me it seems to be quite a fitting endorsement. The two women appear to have some things in common.

That's just the problem Tonya - we're tired of what "is". We want something different.
I'm not expecting Obama to be able to go in and change Washington but it would be nice to at least hear some new lies. |

I just hope Blacks don't fall in love with the new lies the Republicans are telling. |

I think it's already happening Cynique. I've heard some dems saying McClain isn't all that bad ... except for that warmongering thing he has going on. |

If McCain chooses as his VP Huckabee, who is the darling of the Evangelicals, they will make a formidable twosome.
That's why I think Obama and HRC need to make peace and hook up as running mates. |
