obama for so many reasons that I don’t have room to explain,the all of a sudden endorsements for obama explains a lot
Senator Obama for me. I explained why in an identical question yesterday… not in the habit of preaching so search fluther :D
Clinton – I just think she has the experience needed. I think Obama is a good speaker, but isn’t ready for The White House just yet. That being said, if he gets the Democratic nom, I’ll vote for him.
true,but the more experience I guess the more corrupt you are as a politician,she always changes her mind on a whole lot of things.obama has momentum to bring people together as a nation,he is actually getting endorsements that once supported hilary,what does that tell you.we all are entitled to our own opinions,and I respect everyones.
All politicians are corrupt…and people change their minds. I know that Obama is gaining a lot in popularity but I still think he’s an unknown as far as what he’ll do if elected. At least with Clinton we have some experience and expectations.
I totally get that people think he’ll unite the country…but I have a lot of worries of it being all talk…guess we’ll see what happens!
I was being facetious. All I’m saying is: just as people criticize Obama’s camp for continually using his “change” idea as their reason for choosing him, Clinton people use her “experience” as their reason for choosing her. As far as I’m concerned, there is no amount of experience that can prepare one to be the president of the United Stated. Nixon had a lot of experience, and he was horrible, Lincoln had little experience, and he was great. And then there are those that go the other way (i.e. experience=good, lack thereof=not good). It’ll be an interesting couple of months, that is for sure.
Fair enough…it will definitely be interesting and like I said, I’ll vote for either because I do like them both in their own way….I just have a preference for one!
The experience argument has its merits, but I believe too many people listen to the media and Clinton claim Obama has no experience. Take a look at someone who dug up all of the legislative activities of Clinton and Obama, and compared them side by side. You will see that Obama has lots of experience…and all of it was packed into a short time span. And they weren’t fluffy puffy bills that do little.
neither! Everyone for some reason thinks Obama is black well he’s half black and half middle eastern OMG and I don’t want some nutty woman who can’t even control her marriage to run the country I’m living in so I vote neither!
he is I’m serious! And the bible states in revelations that the anti-christ will be of middle eastern decent and will come in to great power! Seriously!I don’t normally preach but for some reason this man scares me!
Xenophobia is a fear or contempt of that which is foreign or unknown, especially of strangers or foreign people. It comes from the Greek words ξένος (xenos), meaning “foreigner,” “stranger,” and φόβος (phobos), meaning “fear.” The term is typically used to describe fear or dislike of foreigners or in general of people different from one’s self.
yea ann22, do your homework before you judge people and make assumptions, and Do not bring religion and politics together, and stop preaching
The largest organization either candidate has ever run are their 2008 campaigns. Hillary has made many more mistakes, from fundraising, to not caucusing seriously, to a poor (and changing) message. Obama has been measured, while she cries, yells, threatens, or whatever her new message is that day. Like a successful brand, you need a consistent message, and you need to project a world that is more appealing than the one I live in now. Obama understands this. How you do anything is how you do everything. So much for experience.
