Hillary Clinton For President

So, the consensus here among my mostly female friends, one straight hispanic male, and one young gay man in Los Angeles, all Democrats, is that we will vote for Hillary for President but not Obama.

Hillary is tough, smart and would be an excellent President who can dig in on the first day to clean up the mess left behind by Shrub Bush... ugh. However, this dream of the first female president is in danger of being eclipsed by a man who couldn't wait his turn to run for President. Obama must have gotten quite a swelled head after all the compliments over speeches that have people bedazzled. Me, I'm immune. He seems cold and distant to me and speaks in generalities. I don't get it. What has he done? What is his record? Well, it's yet to be written. And the Presidency is no place to start!

I look at Obama and I see a man who I could vote for in 8 years when I know more about him. When he's done battle and paid his dues. But not now. Fired up speeches with vague promises of change are not going to cut it. Not after the mess Bush has this country in.

The Republicans must be positively giddy with joy over the Obama express. John McClain can start moving into the White House before the summer's even over if Obama's the nominee. McCain is not too far to the right, a man who survived a horrible war experience, a man who can deal with terrorism and knows Washington. Now is not the time for dreamy idealism that Obama represents.

It's no surprise that this weekend was quite depressing for Hillary supporters, watching those little states fall under the charm of Obama, one lemming after another. Bah humbug. He may be their candidate, but he's not my choice. I won't vote for him. Why couldn't he wait until a woman has been elected for a change? Obama represent change? Oh please. He's another man. All he represents to me and mine, is another man in power.

Oh and while I'm at it, what's the deal with we WOMEN? Why can't we support our own sex???? What is your problem with Hillary Clinton? Again, I just don't get it. You women DO know that rooting for Obama does not get you any closer to George Clooney, right?

Well, here's hoping and praying the Democratic party is smart this time around. Nominate Hillary Clinton. She can beat John McCain. Hillary represents bigger change than you can imagine.
