That Hillary can out-argue Barack is no shock; women usually out-argue men. Barack is at a disadvantage because if he responds as assertively as he could to her attacks as he could with a man, the image presented would be one of a damsel in distress for Hillary. For example, it is totally unfair that Hillary and would attack Barack's moral values based on his knowing someone who has done or said something that is wrong. No one judges Hillary because of all of the immoral things that her husband did. No one wants to speak about the "elephant" in the China shop that is represented by the idea that the terrorists who caused so much pain on 911, probably, planned the attacks during Bill Clinton's reign as president; Bush had not been in office very long when it happened.

How can Americans be certain that Bill Clinton will not continue to have affairs and embarrass America as he did when he was president and cost tax payers millions of dollars again? The security of America was and could be, again, compromised during one of Hillary's husband's affairs? The deal is that Hillary believes that she is, naturally, smarter than Obama due to her race and gender, and that is sad, and the media supports that fallacy in very blatantly condescending tones of voices. They cut him off mid-sentence, and you do not see that happen to Hillary at all.

On the other hand, Barack Obama has a lot of love and respect for his wife and children, and you can often tell the value of people by how they treat their families. Obama is brilliant, and he is the only candidate who can change the way that the world views America. Obama is the only candidate who is willing to open the channels of communication with other countries that are tired of being treated as though they are inferior to America. Barack is the candidate who can encourage congress to join hands across the aisles and put his excellent, economic, social, military, and cultural plans into practice and highlight the power of diplomacy.

In essence, Barack Obama is in the right place at the right time, and is the only presidential candidate who will represent all of America, not just those few non-white Americans who have been allowed to peep above the cracks. He seems to believe that anyone and everyone who breathes deserve equal opportunities. The youth of America need to see America open up the dream to everyone. Imagine what a difference having Barack Obama as president will make for anyone who has ever believed that America was truly the home of the free and land of the opportunity for all!
