Hillary v. Obama
I'm getting really tired of this fight between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and the war of words being waged by their supporters on forums and boards. Most recently, there was the MLK remarks controversy. I know both of these guys want to win, of course, but they need to be careful, lest they endanger their chances in the general election. Someone's going to come out of this fight on top, and they have to do so intact enough to be able to get a majoroity of votes in November. Both Obama and Clinton need to keep in mind the possibility that they won't be the one that's chosen, and that they'd prefer their fellow party member as President than a Republican.
I started out as a Hillary supporter. But her campaign is pushing me towards Obama. I see the ignorance in posts on boards and forums, and more and more I see how he's right about the type of change that's needed.
A few facts:
1. Obama is not Muslim, has never practiced Islam and has always been Christian. Period. Anyone saying otherwise is lying.
2. Obama has put forward a health care plan and an economic plan as well as other policy plans. They're on his website and detailed. Anyone telling you he's just given speeches with no policy is lying.
3. I have not, at any time, seen Obama bring up race. Not once. Hillary brings up the fact that she's a woman every time her poll numbers slump.
Don't get me wrong, despite her shoddy campaigning, I still wouldn't mind Hill as prez. I look back very fondly on the Clinton years. It was a wonderful time in American history. The Bush years have been the darkest chapter in our nation's history that I've had the displeasure of living through. With Hillary, we'd get Bill again...plus she's strong on her own. She'd be great in office, and so would Obama.
In truth, if either of these two become president, we'll be doing pretty darn good. That's the truth. I hope whichever one wins they make the other a major player in their administration. Let's quit the played up devisiveness. Come November 8, if the Hillary supporters see Obama's name across from, say Romney's, do you think they're actually going to NOT vote for Obama? If Obama supporters see Hillary's name across from Thompson, do you really think they're going to NOT vote for Hillary?We've been blessed with two candidates who really, honestly, ain't that far apart on objectives for the country. Let's focus on their policy, both of which make those policies available on their websites, and quit the petty infighting. If we have EITHER of them as President, supporters from both camps will be cheering in the street come November. And after the primaries are over, they'll suddenly be on the same side. And so will their supporters.
Hillary OR Obama in 08 may not be an exciting, decisive slogan, but I think the majority of Clinton and Obama supporters feel that way at heart.
