Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Obama

[Professor S]

Hillary by far. Even though I disagree with most of her policies, she is at least somewhat experienced, unlike Obama. Honestly, I think Obama is utterly clueless. His speeches sound wonderful at the time, but once they're finsihed I can't remember a single substantive argument he made.

His entire run for president is based on cliches ("It's time for change!") and good feelings (The audacity of hope). So far I haven't heard a damn thing I could even consider an actual policy. To be fair, I view Huckabee the same way.

Oh well, Rudy's out, so it doesn't matter much to me anyway. I think whoever the democrat is, they will win the election, if only because I think Ron Paul is positioning for a 3rd prty ticket run and he'll suck enough votes away that any Republican candidate is guaranteed to lose.

I hear this so much, and its a nonsense cop out arguement. Who cares if Obama "dosent have much experience." As far as im concerned, thats exactly what we need. Someone who isnt a typical politician. I mean, look what "experience" got us the past 8 years, one of the worst presidents ever.

The last Clinton we had did a pretty good job so I wouldn't mind if Hilary or Obama got elected. I think Obama has a more genuine approach to politics because he is inexperienced. So far I'm leaning towards Obama but whatever. America needs radical change, we need a complete 180 in Washington. We need to rebuild our image to the rest of the world, we need to get the fuck outta Iraq, drop a few bombs on the Al-Qaeda, deal with China and fix welfare. Instead of spending a bajillion dollars on a war for oil we need to research alternative fuel. The average person driving a Honda Civic or a family van should be able to do so using alternative fuels. We need to get SUVs of the road. I'm not happy to be an American right now. Hopefully whoever gets elected can bring change to this country.

I just wish Al Gore won...

Well put. If Gore wouldve won, I guarantee you we wouldnt be paying 3 dollars a gallon for gas. Also, the entire world wouldnt hate us as they do now. When Hiliary or Barack win, gas prices will come down. Might not be instantly, but they will.

Sorry, but I think you need to finish at least a single term in a major office to be even considered for president. But lets accept your argument, then what about my argument that he has NO REAL POLICIES. He literally runs on on high hopes and good feelings. Inspirational speaking only takes you so far.

He is the Tony Robbins candidate. Sounds great but says nothing. When Hillary described his positions as naive, she wasn't kidding.

And you right about gas prices and Al Gore. We definitely wouldn't be paying three dollars a gallon... more like five after all the taxes he would have placed on gas to "encourage" us to make "smarter decisions".
