US elections 2008: Whose win would be more historically important: Obama or Clinton?

Results so far:

Obama
62% 204 votes Total: 329 votes
Clinton
38% 125 votes

Should gender or race be historically the catalyst in receiving blame for foisting an incompetent President upon the United States in 2008, and which is more important for accelerating the decline and fall of the United States? The Democrat Party had the perfect 2008 candidate in John Edwards with his north/south political juxtaposition in North Carolina, with virtually the same policies as Hillary and Barrack yet soundly trounced that very electable individual. At some point getting policy done by getting a right President elected should be a priority of the Democrat Party too, instead of sitting out until 2012 and probably losing control of congress before then as well.

Barrack Obama recently denounced his minister of 20 years that performed his marriage claiming that he didn't really know him, something like Peter's denial of Jesus perhaps during the night before the crucifixion although the Reverend right is guilty of simply 'damning the United States' and blaming the government for giving h.i.v. to blacks. The Reverend's personal guard at the National Press Club briefing this week were Louis Farakhan's Nation of Islam, Fruit of Islam muscle.

What sect are they in, and could that be a reason for Obama's desire to retreat as soon as possible from Iraq if he is elected?

President Bush has set up a slam dunk opportunity for the next President to receive historical amounts of blame. Cleverly in his first term a closed door energy meeting by V.P. Chaney and top fossil fuel energy execs set the agenda for the next 7 years of U.S. energy policy it is believed. Probably President Bush was given a synopsis of the meeting after it occurred in order to sign off on it.

At the meeting schedules for gutting higher fuel requirements for S.U.V.s, cancellation of President Clinton's program to develop a 100 mile per gallon automobile for America, perhaps a plan to gain control of Iraqi oil fields, a containment policy for Shia pressure on Sunni oil fields, a schedule to send the Exxon Valdez litigation to the Supreme Court on appeal before a friendly Chief Justice, a plan to drive of oil corporate profits and even a way to control U.S. gasoline prices to lever support for oil drilling in Alaska may have been discussed-in 30 years the nation, if it exists, will receive that declassified information-maybe.
