Barry,,
It's NOT that I don't like her.. I in fact think she's good people AND up to the task.. I think Obama is rare in that he can have relationships up and running in seconds.. He is an incredibly powerful personality and people LOVE to say yes to this guy. Not only that, but I believe that there will be an overwhelmingly Democratic Congress as well.
I'll say it again, I will be happy with either one of them. I just think Obama will be better at mending hearts and minds around the world. I know some people play down {I'm not saying you do this Barry} the importance of ones ability to emotionally connect to people, but I think it may be more important now than at any time in recent history {or maybe ever}that we have leadership that lives and breaths optimism. I know that we need excellent policy and problem solving skills to go along with this. On that note, the two of them are not far off one from another..
In any case, I'm happy that the country is giving smart, well meaning leadership a close look. Personally, I need a push these days to help dig myself out of what has been a pretty dark hole I created for myself.. I allowed all these problems to creep a little to far into my personal heart.. And this was my own doing. People like Obama AND Clinton are giving me some hope that we can begin to govern our way out of the worst set of policy decisions we have ever made as a Nation. .. So I'm digin' it..
