Just ahead of tomorrow’s Wisconsin primary, Hillary Clinton took an apparent jab at opponent Barack Obama at a Democratic fundraiser when she told the audience it takes more than inspiring words to fulfill dreams.

At the same event, Obama responded to Clinton’s claim.NYC Voting Booth

“Martin Luther King didn’t stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and say ‘go home everybody, the dreams deferred, false hopes, ya’ll need a reality check.”

Obama picked up the endorsement of two major unions over the weekend. The 1.9 million Service Employees International Union, or SEIU, and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union which is active in the March 4th primary states of Ohio and Texas.

The New York Post is reporting that the Board of Elections in New York State is recounting some districts because results of inaccuracies. In some cases, results show Barack Obama received zero votes, even in the historically black districts of Harlem. In a few districts, results show Hillary Clinton received zero as well.

Let's not let this turn into another lie. Let's get it straight and put into office the person that the people actually vote for this time!

Amen, if there is anything we have learned in the past 8 years, it's that IT REALLY DOES MATTER who our president is! It matters so very, very much!
