If Hillary, why do you think she would be better? If not, why do you think Obama would be the better choice?

I don't know what I am but Obama is still better, probably, than Hillary would have been. Who really knows.

Hard to say... I mean the North Koreans come to the U.S. and they talk with the Governer of New Mexico instead of Hillary who is the secretary of state. Would her presidency be the same? Who knows... we are stuck with obama so we have to deal with it.

What-ifs. Aren't they great.

Who the heck knows, the lady might have been great or a total disaster. Same could be said about anyone else.

I am glad we have Obama over Hillary.


There would be less race-baiting by the media if it were Hillary, but we would also have true UHC being rammed down our throat right now, and who knows if we would still be killing Islamic militants?

I prefer Obama. With Hillary she would be centrist and we would have a moderate health care bill, which would make us worse off than not having one at all. With Obama he's going to push for it all and go down in flames.

Now I pose the question, since every criticism of Obama is turned into an accusation of racism, if Hillary were president, would criticism of her be labeled as sexist?

There was one surprisingly civil interview between Hillary and Bill O'Reilly that I liked. She actually came across as reasonably level-headed, which exceeded my expectations. If forced to vote for one or the other, I would've voted for Hillary, if only for the simple reason that she came across as less idealistic and more worldly-wise. It was the personality cult that I disliked about Obama. Everything about him seemed to be style over substance; a sort of teenage infatuation that disgusts me.

Billary, because it would mean more Bill Clinton interviews and sound clips. :thumbsup:

Bill Clinton, First Dude (what would the official term for this be anyway if Billary were president?), White House Administration Staff Czar, to be tasked with the everyday "handling" of the White House staff.

:laugh:

It's pretty obvious that a Republican will win in 2008.

Really would have preferred Hillary. Obama is anything but change (reappointing Bernanke? one who thought the housing bubble had sound fundamentals?) and I don't think I've once seen him take a real opinion on anything, just a bunch of wishy-washy talk so that you can't pin him on any issue.

At least with Biden you can trust what the man says.

Sexist criticism of her would be labeled as sexist, yes.

In retrospect, I would prefer Hillary. Then again, she is more of a centrist which is closer to my views. Obama is still a centrist imho, but not to the extent that Hillary is/was.

The issue is Obama vs Hillary, what do my old posts have to do with anything?

*golfclap* though for wasting your time "digging" up my old posts.

Your hypocrisy is the issue, as it usually is. Unless you know a lot of "centrist" communists. You claim Hillary would be more centrist, of course had she won you'd be claiming she's a far left nut and that Obama would have been more centrist.

And it's not hard to find you saying something stupid or contradictory. Digging isn't required; merely dusting off the surface with a foot suffices.

I generally vote republican, and to be honest, I prefer Obama over Hillary AND McCain. While I don't agree with everything he does, I do think he is doing a better job them McCain and Hillary would have done.

What hypocrisy? I still think she's the devil. A "centrist" healthcare bill that passes is still halfway to UHC. I used the word centrist in the way you understand it, one who negotiates and meets in the middle. Today's centrist is a left wing commie in early 20th century. The right should not be negotiating and meeting halfway on anything. You do that and you get NCLB, RX medicare, and half assed tax cuts that expire.

Nice try. *golfclap* once again.

if serious harm is going to occur to the us, let it happen under the obama's watch.
