The orator wears no clothes. We all know that fairytale, but this is real life! And it is going to affect us all, for at minimal four years. Obama, his voice and charisma, are almost no match for any recent candidate. He charms and speaks of change. I have been asking everyone have you heard anything that he is going to change? Then I come back with other than paying the full amount for his donuts! [that was broadcast on TV] Put yourself out there Obama, people aren't that petty anymore. You need to have some substance and Hillary has that.
Constituents want answers to our economy, health care, education, the war, and the list goes on, but I have not heard of anyone other than Hillary, that even touches on things she will change. I feel that her very honest attempt to create a health care system, gives her one up on Obama. At this level, she has it all over most of the candidates. She will be the first woman president, because she has the best of both worlds. She is an intellectual, she is a woman {that by the way are the minority of minorities}, she is a strong woman ,and most men would have a difficult time going toe to toe with her. I have made it a point to watch her closely. She is scrutinized for being herself, but then when she shows strength, she is considered insincere, and when she allows her sense of humor to break through, she is considered not to have one, and is told she is too dry. Come on people this is our great nation, and we all must be sure this time. And we can't allow our emotional selves to elect the next president, we must use some intellect! OK, I believe in God too, but I feel politics in the pulpit is a sacrilege, has anyone heard of separation of church and state?
On that note, this is not a Christian country, it is a sectarian one. Our ancestors came to this new land to escape religious persecution. But, if the Ten Commandment's and prayer is taken out of our schools, how is it so key to elections? We all must know there is a higher power to keep everything in check, but to allow people to run on a faith based issue is a real
low way of becoming a president. After all, look what happened 8 years ago with our current faith based president? Do we really want to go this way again? I for one do not! I want what Hillary has, experience and she has had experience in the White house with her husband. This may sound a bit sexist, but we all know that behind every good man is a woman pushing him out of her way.
So make way America, Hillary is going to live on the hill once again, and this time she will be the boss. How many of you women out there could go through a public humiliation the way she did, and come out on top of it all? And their personal life was put out there and the way they handled that was pure strength, on both her and Bill's part. Hillary we know if the house needs cleaned, only a woman can do it the way we do! She is a strong woman and she would be one I personally would be proud of, and I feel she would have a very good rapport with the other countries, and possibly regain our reputation back, the way it was prior to this current administration. We the people better wake up and use issues other than a good speaking voice, and a close connection to Oprah. Use your brains it doesn't get you in trouble like a warm fuzzy heart does. The future of our country depends on you and we must show the world we are something more than personality, and a new face. We are a strong nation, united a democratic republic and this is our strength, and we all need to get out and vote. For Hillary!
