I am not an Obama support, nor am I a Hillary supporter, but I find it interesting that Hillary supporters cite Obama's age as a handicapp. Obama will be a year older at the start of his term, if elected President, than wild Bill was when he became President. Are Hill's supporters saying that it was a mistake to have elected Billy President at the age he was when he was elected?MY POLITICAL
First of all, after reading this thread I was wondering if the video Dennis posted re: the Honorable James David Manning’s philosophy and rantings might be confused with the Reverend Wright’s frequently publicized video re: 9/11. Just for the record: Dennis’s video re: James David Manning’s ministry has nothing to do with the Reverend Wright.
Secondly, the first thought that came to my mind listening to the Reverend Wright’s video about “9/11 and the chickens have come home to roost,” was that I agreed with him in the sense that the US’s foreign policy has not shown any consistency in the last several decades nor has it exhibited any maturity inline with our original Constitution nor our American values.
Lastly, I fear Obama’s campaign of “Change” is just words and he doesn’t have the gravitas or ability to actually effect change. I wonder if his many recent endorsements are being made by persons whose intentions are to be appointed important positions within his Administration.
Along with these fears, I’m tending towards Hillary because I sincerely believe she is the most intelligent and despite what others say that her heart is in the right place when it comes to America’s future. I fear most having another incompetent delegator like Bush in charge of running our country. I think Obama is going to have to delegate important responsibilities to others who are older, wiser and more experienced than he is. I believe Hillary has the critical ability to make the wiser and more intelligent decisions when it comes to determining who is most qualified to implement and manage the most important Programs and Policies of the United States of America.
I welcome others’ ideas, thoughts and any positive criticisms re: the above. Please no political bashing simply because you see things differently.
PS I realize my calling Bush incompetent may be considered “political bashing.” Therefore, you are allowed to sneak in one political bash with your comments.
I do agree that Obama's "change for change's sake" is a lot of hot air. Then again, Hillary changes her message depending upon the audience, and McCain is a Democrat who wears an elephant lapel pin. How he secured the nomination of the Republican party, I'll never understand, but I digress. :embarrest:
The bottom line for me is, no matter which of the three Democrats wins the Presidency, he or she will need to be tempered by a Congress that has a slight conservative edge. I say a slight conservative edge, because given the power, the ultra conservatives go out of their everlovin' minds! :nuts: I like a do nothing Congress, as long as the budget gets passed and my paychecks keep coming in!
