| | ...Hillary...As Super Tuesday approaches and our nation gets ready to mark yet another milestone in our political history, I wanted to take a moment to explain why it is that I'm supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton and not Barack Obama...
Aside from the fact that she's incredibly brilliant, politically astute, and a seasoned politician, I find her to be a true leader in every sense of the word as opposed to Barack Obama. Granted, while Obama is also intelligent and charismatic, he's also inexperienced. I don't doubt his intentions as I find him to be quite an ethical and upstanding candidate and politician. What I do doubt though, is his lack of a true plan. At the current moment, our country is facing a pivotal time where we need real leadership to guide us to real and effective change, and unfortunately, I don't believe that Obama can do that for us. Yes, he's inspirational, but inspirational rhetoric will do nothing for our declining economy, nor the troubles that have resulted from this outgoing administration. Hillary, on the other hand, does have experience that stems not only from her terms as a Senator, but also from her time as a First Lady. Some people argue against her citing that they can't trust her because she's so calculating. Why is that a problem? Why would you knock someone for having a clear vision as to how they want to change this country? Unfortunately, spontaneity and cluelessness are luxuries that this country can ill afford given our past 7 years. In short, while I have nothing personal against Obama, I feel that as a Presidential candidate in this election, he would be nothing more than a band-aid for our country's problems. He would cover up this country's wound with his inspirational rhetoric, all the while allowing the wound to grow and fester with his lack of experience and direction. Hillary is the solution. She has direction, experience, and more importantly, my vote...
