Obama the Ninja and Clinton the Wrestler

Tagged:  •  

Hi everyone...
THis is my first attempt at a blog and am excited indeed. ALthough I can't decide if it's bad form or not to use my real name. I'd like to think in the end that will be advantageous, perhaps even help me create a "brand" for myself. Still, I'd hate to say something stupid and be called on it forever. LOL
Anyway, I'm uber excited about the coming presidential election and all that it entails. I am a staunch supporter of Barack Obama. I appreciate his forward and open nature. I've read his books and get a sense that before he makes a decision on an issue, he examines both sides. Even after his gut reaction, he tries to understand the point of view of the opposing idea to understand the motivation and build compromise. It just makes sense.

I find Hillary Clinton a brilliant advocate for change, but with not as much finesse as Obama. She tries to muscle through things like a wrestler. Obama is a more like a ninja. She is such a polarizing figure, too. I also don't like her unbacked claims of experience with foreign policy. With all due respect to all the ladies, being the wife of a president does not qualify you to be president. I suppose actually an argument might be made that it can. However, she needs to provide some evidence to back up those RED PHONE ads.

Now the Obama Clinton or Clinton Obama Ticket sounds quite appealing. I think we'll have better popular success if it's Obama Clintion.

ANyway, that's all for now. I know some of these ideas are left undeveloped here, but I'll be exploring these ideas as I go.

OBAMA 08.....I think he should go for New Mexico's Governor Richardson....but then that brings a whole new debate. Is america ready for a Black president, and a Latin vice president? I think so
