The way I look at it is that after eight years of two lying idiots, anything would be an improvement. a BIG improvement. Mitt Romney, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton would be much smarter than George Bush. At least all three of them can read and talk without stuttering and stammering like George does.

As far as Mitt Romney goes, he seems to be pretty sharp and the Mormon part doesn't bother me at all. Mormons are not the polygamists that they used to be and they are for the most part very nice people. Whether he is qualified to be president of the United States is another question. At least he can't be any more less qualified than the idiot that is in the White House at the present time.

I think Barack OBama is a great speaker and sounds good. The thing that scares me about Barack is not the fact that he is an Afro-American. The fact that bothers me is that he has a Muslim background. He down plays that but Muslims make no bones about wanting to destroy the US and what better way to get a Muslim president. Plus somehow President "O bomb a" somehow just doesn't sound good to me.

I heard some one say the other day that Hillary is the most experienced because she has eight years as president already. Everybody knows that in most homes the woman runs things.

I don't know if Mitt, Barack, or Hillary are the change we need but one thing for sure, they can't be any worse than the present administration.
