Colin Powell and a lot of others believe Obama has what it takes to be President. Does she really think hanging out in Senate cloak rooms for three extra years prepares someone to be president? I don''t get it Hillary. And Hillary you are also a way hawk. And you Hillary supporters, how do you account for her vote for Iraq and in Sept 08 for Iran? I am tired of fighting bogus wars. Vote Obama!

Take from the haves and give to the have not! It sounds good but it just doesn''''t work. If you don''''t believe me just ask the Russians or the Cubans just how well off they are! You must have a top tier to provide jobs for the bottom tier friends that''''s called capitalism. Our constitution itself prohibits the redistribution of wealth simply because it is Socialism! Maybe Stalin did know what he was talking about when he said "We will take the United States without firing a shot" Looks like Communism is going to take it on the backs of lazy Americans that want something for nothing!

Sounds just like what HIlary has been proposing--with her super dee duper Universal health care, 9.50 minimum wage, maintaining troops in Iraq, forcing companies who outsource to pay higher taxes, stopping sending aid money to foreign governments, 1000.00 for each new baby born for college, freezing mortgage foreclosures and mortgage rates and promising (in Texas) that everyone should and would get to be homeowners if she was elected. Hitlery is soooo socialist, her last name should be Marx, not Clinton.

SO According to Clinton: Obama is not ready to be President ----BUT according to the American public--only Clinton supporters want Clinton the rest DON"T want her and did not vote for her. So to get real about how the campaign is shaping up--she is not wanted and how she wins--is the fact that she ISN''T. Winning that is.

Face it Clinton supporters--no one wants Hilary or Bill again--except you --and there just are not enough of you. She loses because she is NOT wanted.

Can''t make the people want what they don''t want. Bush has been doing that for a while--that''s why Republicans have to go--we don"t need Hitlery to take up where Bush left off.

Clinton isn''t ready to be president.
She picked the wrong people for her campaign. If she can''t pick the right people to manage her campaign, she can''t pick the right people for her cabinet or other important POSITIONS.

She underestimated her opponent. If she can''t use her judgment regarding a single opponent, she can''t be trusted to use her judgment against those who are out to destroy this country.

On the other hand, Obama came from way behind. He surrounded himself with the right people. He built from square one and used his judgment to build a powerhouse of a movement with coffers to match.

It''s apparent from the recent past and the present day who is ready from day one to run the country and select cabinet members who can run what have been badly managed federal agencies.

GO OBAMA!!!

Get Real! If Obama, with his limited experience, were a woman - he would have been laughed off the podium when he announced his candidacy. We are still a sexist nation - and McCain will chew him up and spit him out. The Democrats are handing the election to the Republicans again.

Charisma does not a President make.

Yah! Sounds like a lot of bills, "bareed1226", that he used to handed out our tax money. If I want to give to charity, I''ll do it from my own pockets and not approve of government handing it out in millions and billions.
Want to see a great example of OBAMA hand outs go to link below and it will open your eyes to his agenda and schemes.
Don''t let the so called charisma and chills of his speeches mesmerize you. Look at the facts.
This man is not to me trusted.
Don''t get me wrong, I don''t care for Hillary Billary either, but this guy has a hidden personal global agenda!
It runs in his blood!

Their credentials appear to be about the same--short terms in the US Senate.

Although Hillary doubtless helpful around the White House, baking cookies and the like.
