Hillary vs. Barack, Al vs. George W. -- now I'm not inferring that Barack isn't smart, I have to say that right off the bat here. Obviously he's a very intelligent man.
But the implication should be clear here. America, we've been there, done that. Republicans and obviously quite a few Democrats and independents, voted for George W. Bush I suppose because they preferred good old boy George and his personality (nevermind his less than stellar qualifications for being Prez) over Al Gore. And who has turned out to have been wrong?
Al Gore clearly would have been a terrific President. But he was too boring and stiff for the country -- they thought he was too intellectual. They chose style over substance. And I'm afraid the Democrats are swooning over Obama for the same reason. That is not to say Barack isn't smart. He's obviously very intelligent. But he hasn't done anything so far. He has no record except for voting wrong six different times! I think he needs more seasoning and a longer stint as a senator before I'd trust him with the country.
Barack is the charismatic speaker, he's inspiring people to swoon and follow him. I think that's just one aspect of a good leader. That's the style everyone's falling for. Where's his substance? If the man can't pay attention to what he's voting for or against in his present job, how can he run a country? Well, Hillary is ready to run but she lacks the charisma, the inspiring speeches.
People, have we learned nothing from your rejection of Al Gore for those very reasons? How great would this country be right now if we'd just had 7 years of an Al Gore presidency instead of what we just suffered through with Bush?
Food for thought, I hope.
