Please withdraw from the race for a democratic nomination. It's just not your time. You need more experience to help lift this country from the pit it's dug itself into. I am not saying that your dreams of going to the white house shall be completely erased just postponed. The truth is I think you would make an amazing vice president right now. I think that Clinton and Obama '08 would be the best thing to ever happen to this country. Not only that but I think that Bill should be made Secretary of State. There is no doubt in my mind that Bill would be able to sway foreign governments to see our point of view. I feel as though they would be more responsive to him and maybe just maybe we won't be on the brink of war with every middle east country there is. So Senator Obama, just because this would mean a postponed dream doesn't mean the dream will never happen, it just means that this brick wall will show us how much you want this. You could learn more about what it takes to run the country and you'd be helping out millions of people across the world.
Dear Obama

I think that Obama should stay in the race, and if the Democratic party selects him as their candidate, that's that. Politics is about the public selecting who they feel is best for the position, and there are plenty of reasons to have Obama in office right away.
It will never be Clinton/Obama. And if it is, it'll hurt 'em. The race has become so nasty that if they go together, it'll be seen as very fake.

One of the most irrksome arguments for Clinton is that "it's not Senator Obama's time." You've bought into the notion that there's a line of succession to the white house, where senior members have first dibs.
If experience is the only thing that matters, Senator Dodd and Senator Biden or Gov. Richardson wouldn't have lost.
Since Senator Obama is winning election after election over someone who is supposed to have already played the game, then certainly, experience didn't help much.
Experience isn't what's going to take us out of "the pit." It's vision and judgement.
Rest in peace

He has not won that many elections...when put next to Senator McCain's 30+ years of victories.
Please give up your blind support of the charlatan.
Yeah, when you're 30 some odd years older, you tend to have more opportunities in your life to do things.
I was referring to the democratic primaries, anyhow.
My support isn't blind. Stop assuming things about other people.

"it just means that this brick wall will show us how much you want this. You could learn more about what it takes to run the country and you'd be helping out millions of people across the world."
I'm not sure what this means. This may be a nuttier argument than the "Obama is a terrorist, don't vote for this guy" prose that spews the Limbaugh airwaves.
Sustainably yers, http://www.progressiveu.org/blog/green-underbelly
Wait a second there. My agrument is supposedly nuttier than Obama is a terrorist. All I am saying is I think Obama is not experienced enough to run the country at this point. I think if he gets some more experience in the process of how to run the country he would be able to help the American people. So I think I would have to object to that statement there.
The idea that a candidate's 'experience' is more important than the issues he or she supports is a travesty to me. The idea that a blogger can say, "hey, you're a great candidate. Now please, please don't run. Wait yer turn" frightens the bajeezus out of me.
But maybe I have it wrong. Are you saying these aren't yer points?
Sustainably yers, http://www.progressiveu.org/blog/green-underbelly
okay sorry I was just scared that you were comparing me to some uneducated person in such a topic who throws out comments left and right without realizing the impact they make. I was just thinking aloud that Clinton and Obama have an amazing possibility of making this country great again if they teamed up. They each have great ideas, it's just that I feel as though Clinton is the stronger of the two so if Obama dropped out Clinton would win the nomination. Then they can finally team up and hopefully win the election. I feel as though Obama could learn from Clinton and Clinton can learn from Obama. I mean since when did the position of vice president become so unlikable?
I'm honestly more concerned with the McCain/Lieberman ticket. Evidently the Connecticut Senator was campaigning with him in Michigan. That ticket would pose as one helluva threat to either Democratic nominee.
But can we stick to the issues? Specifically which of Clinton's claims for improvement do you dig?

I throughly enjoy her idea for healthcare. I mean what is not to like about it. Affordable healthcare for all who choose it. There are so many sick people in this country that this would benefit all. I like the fact that your insurance agency won't be able to drop you in your time of need. I also like the fact that Hillary wants to be able to hold down the cost of college so that it is more affordable. College is drowning so many people in debt that they are hardly able to keep their head above water while in school. I mean I really have met a policy of Clinton's that I haven't liked yet.
So you agree with her domestic and foreign policy voting record...
A)Yest to the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002?
B)Yes to the Patriot Act?
C)Yes to the No Child Left Behind Act?
Are her positions on trade that have sent the American manufacturing sector overseas sound positions?
D)Her stances on the board of Walmart, a corporation that disrespects the American standard of living and worker's rights?
E)Her unwaivering support of one of the most insane international trade policies: NAFTA?
Sustainably yers, http://www.progressiveu.org/blog/green-underbelly
I am always met with the voting record question. Here's the thing we can look back at these mistakes with knowledge of the future and how they may not have been the best decision but at that time they seemed like a good desicion. We realized that the Patroit Act was a bad idea but at the time when everything else seemed so uncertain and the Americans were out to get the bad guys it seemed like a good idea. I also said I haven't met an idea of Clinton's I hadn't like yet which meant that from what I had heard I liked. So I am gonna honestly I didn't know about her stance with Walmart and I don't like it but that doesn't mean I don't like her other policies. With politics, it's a give and take relationship.
So what makes McCain an amazing canidate to you?
You're partially right about the hinesight bit. But you probably see why voting for her based on experience has its roadblocks. Neither candidate is perfect-- neither comes close to what I think of when I view a progressive candidate. Each candidate will bring about gradual change in the future energy policies, defense spending, corporate crime crackdown, etc. ect.
This is why we may as well support who represents us best, rather than play the electability wheel. A friend of mine said, "I'm currently dating Barack Obama. I'm not willing to take him home yet." I'm in the business of adopting swell thoughts like that. And so, I haven't decided yet on a Democratic candidate.
I will not support McCain because he brings to the table support for a failed international trade policy, weak support for regulating our environment and a hawkish foreign policy that doesn't represent my views.
I'd love to see third party candidates on the ballot and in the PBS debates this year, but this may only be a fleeting hope. Please check out this blog entry--- http://www.progressiveu.org/182718-letter-ralph-nader

exactly....OBAMA 08
I'd choose Obama's so-called lack of experience above Clinton's votes:
A)Yest to the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002
B)Yes to the Patriot Act
C)Yes to the No Child Left Behind Act

I don't think Obama should stay in the race. I don't think he has enough of a standing in the Senate to be President. I don't think he has enough experience. I don't think he can rule the country. He is a good public speaker. That's about it. I fully support Clinton. And I don't think that they should run together. It wouldn't work. It would seem fake and it would never happen. They probably wouldn't get elected.

Your argument isn't even an argument. Resorting to a *HUSH* personal attack on Obama shows you know virtually nothing about his campaign.
What little "election" Obama has won still equal more than what McCain's 30 years of scandal can represent. He was one of the Keating Five, and averted his politcal money-grubbing penalty by using his military background/POW status to throw it off. It's the same with H.Clinton taking money from donators, only to ignore their contributary status.
The time for using military experience as the main reason to elect someone has come to an end. Spending time in the military and fighting for your country gives you no more right to be elected then serving in the State and Congressional Senates and appealing to the people of America. It makes you a standup citizen, but doesn't equate an effective President.

cooperation Experience.
Do you know the name of his campaign manager, and the others running the " OBama campaign"
There is more to his campaign than the rallies. Check it out, it is all a joke. The people running the show are the same old same old. NOT CHANGE!
And again OBAMA refuses to identify himself... He is a political insider and a Washington Insider. He does not need to shush up but open up!!!!!

This is true (in support of the comment above) check out my blog article, titled: Obama is Related to George Bush and Dick Cheney
