Presidential Politics

What about Hillary, Obama and the rest in the Presidential sweepstakes? Do you have an opinion one way or the other? Senator Dodd, the Senator from Connecticut is also in the race. What do you think?


Hey, what can I say. I like politics and politicians. I used to be one.

What about Hillary? I say GO HILLARY!!! Obama? GO OBAMA! I see a Clinton/Obama ticket myself. It's amazing, I have more confidence in Hillary than Obama at this point because I seem to know more about her and how she operates, I'm still "nursing" my mind on Obama. He is obviously very "astute" and well nourished in what he knows -- but is the good old U.S.A. ready for Obama? "Nope!"

Bring it on Obama -- !

Oh, Senator Dodd? WHUTT?

Your view is the view of many who aren't real sure about Obama. While he is obviously very intelligent and talented, he has not yet been tested and not yet had the opportunity to prove himself. He is a "Flash in the Pan", so to speak, and while we certainly hope that he will show that he is more than that...it remains to be seen. Hillary, on the other hand, has been through the wars and shown that she has the stamina, the guts and the smarts that it will take to just get through the preliminaries. She is the front runner for a very good reason, plus she has the ultimate political weapon on her side; Bill Clinton. Yep, a Clinton/Obama ticket is a real possibility. I frankly think that is what Obama is really aiming for. I wish them both the best.

Joe,
I feel that HIllary's display of strength through all the messy-mess during Bill's term in the White House is a real getter in times of trouble as far as most will remember -- it shows that SHE CAN DO IT and also the joke that "she's really the president" anyways -- I love the fact that she "stood by her man" in the good, bad, and the ugly times. Hillary knows her politics and is a very focused woman.
Obama, I love to hear him speak, but as you stated, we're waiting for some more action from him before making more definitive notations -- however, I'm interested in seeing him excel at this point in the political arena.

Joe,

It is quite interesting that there are new names going in the hat for the presidential race "Democrats" - I would love to see some big-push support behind Sister Hillary, but I suppose these are "Not Hillary" opposers in our own party?

Obama's candidacy is not an issue of what the world is ready for. God has and continues to change minds-Obama in the White House, is God in victory!

Joe you have created a great family page-I have not always posted but i do read it daily.

JR - yes, it would definitley be victory if it's God's will for Obama to go to the big house.

It would be phenomenal and the break to the curse that the "White" House is just for "White" men and if Hillary makes it, it dismantles the curse just the same.

Minority (in this case Black) and Women leaders deserve the chance to lead this country. It's about time.

Obama is moving in a very impressive direction. I enjoy listening to him speak, he is well versed, confident, warm and powerful. What a man for our day!

Obama Barak for President... not bad; we have Hilary a woman, and Obama a black man - two minorities that are powerful figures in the area of government... what a choice this is... we'll see who hangs in there and if need be, the primary is going to be difficult if it comes to that and I'm sure it will.

Senator Barak H. Obama has surely fought and endured. He has run an extraordinary campaign and has defied all the laws of enslavement upon the black race. He has raised more campaign dollars, rejected lobbyist contributions and his administrative staff has proven to be top-notch. His wife is a wonderful asset to his political career and a woman of her own stance. Barack Obama for President of the United States of America!!!!

The media did damage, but he certainly did damage control!

Phyllis said...

Excellent 3rd Debate!

Barack H. Obama clearly won this one!

So many good points.
The opposition played "old politics"' of course, the very thing that Obama's campaign has vowed to "change."

YES WE CAN!!!
