Stumping for the wife of the first "Black" President the US has had is not bads even for Magic!

Black folks should not allow the Clintons make us think that we owe them. Yes, Bill Clinton was favorable to black folks during his presidency. We repaid that favor by helping his approval ratings during the impeachment hearings. It was part of the reason that the Senate did not impeach him, after all those Republican senators saw the polls showing Clinton with a high approval rating. Also, black folks overwhelmingly voted for Hillary in New York to get her elected and re-elected to the senate.
So don’t use experience as an excuse not to vote for Obama. You have already paid your dues to the Clintons.

Celebrity endorsements are not the way to choose a president. Consider the state of our economy, U.S. foreign policy, national sovreignty, civil liberty, national defense, and the pre-eminence of the U.S. Constitution. Please read the views of Dr. Ron Paul at http://www.ronpaul2008.com before you decide. Thank you.

Well said RAY:

Hillary is the least trust worthy candidate in the race of both the parties.

First Clinton brings out Maya Angelou, who is by the way black. And now, secondly, Clinton brings out Magic Johnson, who by the way is also black and really really tall. By all accounts the Clintons are pLAYing the RACE card in the most extreme way. Not one bit of subtlety ... shame on you Clintons, your tactics are down right obvious and so insincere.

NEWS FLASH: Hilary Rodham Clinton had a weak-in-numbers campaign staff in Iowa because she believed she would inheritantly win Iowa, but she was wrong. So they have since scrambled to get Clinton staffers all over the rural parts of the state, but guess what, that doesn't show EXPERIENCE now does that activity, the experience she said she has lots of therefore she should win. Now onto her new slogan, Clinton is a change agent – I don't know about that ... She is definitely a secret agent.

Why are you people surprised that Magic is stumping for the Clintons?

I thought Bill was the first Black president? A black supporting a black? Why are you surprise?

Someone give me a ring when Chauncey Billups gives his endorsement.

Pistons '08!

Maybe HRC can have intimate relations with some interns if she's president. Bill probably lets her have sex with other people just so he feels better about himself.

Every single time I see Suzanne Malveaux, I think of an old audition tape:

Colbert: Suzanne Mal...hello!

{Suzzane Looks unhappy}

Colbert:call me!

To those who have no idea what I'm talking about, go see Stephen Colbert's 2006 White House Correspondence Dinner Speech.

Anyways, on topic, I have no idea who Magiv Johnson is, and I doubt he'll have any difference on the election. Neither will most celebrities. Maybe I'm naive, but I thought that the citizens decided elections, not celebrities....yes, that includes Oprah, and all the other celebrities, no matter for whom...

Now here's someone for the masses to look up to. He and Bill were probably best of buddies, but Bill got the one that was o.k.

He doesn't want a "rookie" in the White House so he's backing Hillary?

Since when did former first house wife and do nothing senator translate experience running a government?

Typical sheeple behavior.

Henry suggests that this is an effort to say that Oprah and Magic are on (sic) the same league. NAH–Oprah's good, but she's never had the jump hook that Magic had!

Magic is supporting Hillary because he knows who is best for the job as President. Hillary is the best candidate. Good choice Magic.

The latest polls in Iowa has Obama ahead of Clinton.(I think 6 points as of today). Oprah is very well respected, but more importantly, she has the ability to get people out to vote.. They have proven time and time again that they will buy what she suggests, now she's asking them to buy something that is nothing more then pulling a lever...
I believe Obama has something to offer than these cronies!

Nooooo Magic. Big Laker fan sorry to hear that Magic, a wonderful business man is not for the one candidate that supports true free markets, Ron Paul.

People are really watching and paying attention about Hillary's life and record. I am very appreciative that someone like Magic Johnson finally come out and said the right words or sentence that describe the qualifications that a President must hae: "You don't want somebody in there that is young or a rookie at politics," Johnson said Tuesday at a raucous rally in support of presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. "We want somebody in there that knows what they're doing because this job is so huge."
"The more I practiced the better I became," said Johnson, who won five NBA championships with the Lakers. "That's why I support Senator Clinton, because she is the only one with 30 years of experience."
"When I looked at her track record ... she has done an amazing job," he said of the former first lady, calling her "a woman of action and not just words."

Being a president is a huge job. It is a ery serious and critical position to have. I agree that you cannot put someone without experience to head our country. Not in this situation that we have now. We need to face reality and not just having big endorsements or popular celebrities endorsements. WE will set that aside but taking more seriously the election.

I know more people will come out like Magic Johnson, will tell more reality facts that just being popular by endorsements of celebrities. Being a President of the United States of America is totally different to be a leader in showbiz.

Thank you Magic JOhnson for coming out to share your thoughts.

Well Hillary, I guess that you did come up with one thing different than the other candidates. Your looking for endorsements from men who cheated on their wives. Is this an attempt to portray men as cheaters to get the womens votes? Sorry you've become that desperate.

This is just a red-herring from people who can't find more substantive reasons not to elect Clinton.

Is it because the reasons aren't there?

-- Yes, that correct. Lots of acidic comments from these folks, but they cant tell you exactly why they hate her. THey just do because someone said they should.
Some posters will limit their posts to genuine policy disagreements, whuch is great by me and I respect that. BUt most comments are just out of hate for no apparent reason.
Instead, they go for the Clinton indescretion/crotch jokes while their GOP darlings get hauled off to jail for sexual deviance and lies of their own. But they dont want to talk about that.
They make fun of Hillary for not being likable and for being morally deficient, but rally around Rudy (never take a wedding vow seriously) Ghouliani going on wife #3 (do I hear 4?)
They cry foul when Clinton touts her experience in the Senate and on several impactful committees, but are all ears when JOhn McCain (who has basically the same credentrials as Hillary) states he has experience. Or they all buy the 'I ran New York City for awhile' experience argument from Rudy.

The GOP mantra: Hate Hillary because it distracts us from our own governing failures and besides, hate elects Republicans!

I havent made up my mind yet on who to vote for. But it sure wont be a candidate of hate. Eventually the hate thing backfires. Especially during the general election. Give it time.
Look at Huckabeee, staying above the vitrolic hyperbole and winning votes because of that.

I have just read ALL of these comments by individuals around the country regarding Hillary Clinton and all the other candidates. It sounds like America has more ignorant citizens than imagined. Don't all of you have something better to do than complain and bash individuals running for office, that are trying and make a difference in this world? What do ANY of you know about foreign policy and the sensitivity this country is in. I am embarrassed to share this country with any of you. Why don't you shut up and speak when you have something constructive to add and help this country get back on its feet. By the way, we don't need a junior senator telling the world how it should be run. Obama is not ready for the White House. He will get eaten alive by the rest of the world and his junior foreign policy. He thinks that aggressive countries like Iran are going to sit down, have coffee and work out their differences? Iran has the same foreign policy for the last 2000 years. There will be nothing to work out with them.
Wake up and look what your vote can potentially do to this country. Stop the stupid complaining and start taking these elections seriously. As history proves itself, you'll be the first complainer when something doesn't go your way and a bill doesn't get passed that Obama claimed in his speeches to get elected. He isn't a bad person; He is too inexperienced for the most important job of the free world! You could lose your free world by the stupid mistakes of the wrong vote.

I said this yesterday, Hillary has been "Ken-Starred" to death and is the only democratic candidate that I can see that will be able to withstand running against a republican in the general election. Edwards lost me when he has been known to speak about the Two Americas, and then goes out for a $400 hair cut...Obama...well, I keep hearing John Lennon singing "...You say that I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one..." I suppose that is a subconscious thing about the difference of dreaming and doing. Check out Sen. Clinton's senate website listing her accomplishments.

Bianca, Los Angeles

You can't possibly believe she is best candidate for the job. Even if you count her "experience" as first lady she still isn't the most experienced candidate out there. If thats what you're looking for you, should be looking in the direction of Dodd, Richardson and Biden. And only a fool believes she is the most electable. Again if that is what you looking for you should be looking elsewhere. Lets face it the only reason you support her is because her last name is Clinton. And it's sad because it's people like you who put the second Bush in office.

I guess Clinton wants to disprove all the talk on the blogs about her attempt to smear Obama as a dealer had a wider implication in that it stereotyped ALL Black men.

The genie is out of the bottle and Magic or Andy Young will not help her put it back in the bottle.

Nicole in LA -

Honestly, even if the South is as bad as you say, Obama will still win easily. The southern states are going red no matter who is running, Obama or Hillary.

"Hilary will not get my vote, I fear I might stay home for the first time.
Posted By College Park, MD"

Well, Hillary won't get my vote either, but staying home isn't the answer. Voting is almost always about choosing the lesser of several evils. Personally, I like Biden, but I'll take Obama, Richardson, Edwards, or Dodd over any of the Republicans. Now if it comes down to Clinton and Giuliani – yeah, I might stay home too.

Scum endorses Scum. I am from Arkansas, let me tell you some stories about the Clintons.

I have been a moderate, but am leaning towards the democratic candidates, everyone but Hillary that is. If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, I have no problem taking a serious look at the Republican nomination a voting accordingly especially if it's Huckabee. Nevertheless I will go with the lesser of two evils and vote for whoever the Republican is over Hillary. Pretty simple choice for me, Hillary is the least trust worthy candidate in the race of both the parties.

Go Hillary!

If Obama wins he certainly won't get this Democrat's vote. His supporters are ridiculously vile, and for that reason alone I would never support him.

MAGIC IS ONLY SUPPORTING HER BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK !!!!! oh.... wait....

(cmon.... SOMEBODY had to get the stupid comment of the day out of the way...)

For his part, Johnson called the former first lady "a good friend and the person I think is the best to bring the country back to where we once were."

Asked why he had chosen Clinton over her lead rival Barack Obama, Johnson replied, "Thirty years of experience. This country needs a leader with experience. This isn't going to be an easy job."

^^^

If the Clinton News Network didnt remove my first comment that came way before i found the text from his interview. You would see how right i was on how he Owes the Clintons a huge favor. Just look

Hilary will not get my vote, I fear I might stay home for the first time.

What republicans have been paid to act like they are democrats and try to throw this race with these ridiculous comments? The lengths you folks will go to for power. And I can't believe Obama blogomaniacs are bothering to answer to these endorsements..isn't he the one that stands up there with a smirk that is beginning to imitate Bush, touting his close in on Hillary and coming off like an arrogant sycophant...Parading around with Oprah as if he has found the golden chalice..are we running for president or a popularity contest? I actually like Obama, not enough to vote for him, but he is truly showing his inexperience as a leader, looking like a politician who is untested..just a little too happy with being the celebrity that he has become. Beware of the Howard Dean syndrome, a little too happy too soon. Do you actually think the problem with our politics are the Clintons? What headspace do you operate within...and, because Bill Clinton cheated, Hillary isn't capable? And I must say Bill Clinton is a better person and politician next to Bush on his worst day. Yeah, President Clinton had some issues with infidelity, but we weren't knocking on the door of WWIII. We really are a country of hypocrites. We put an incompetent person in the White House who runs our country into the ground, almost taking the rest of the world with us, and you guys are the same people I'm supposed to listen to when it comes to your choice for a candidate? Stop playing with people's lives, do your homework, and cut the crap. Hillary is the best candidate, period..and you know it. Stop being afraid of it, and go whine someplace else.

to quote Kanye West:

"magic johnson's got a cure for AIDS...but all the broke mother--s passed away"

sad but true.

No surprise that Magic's supporting Hillary.

Hillary's in the pockets of big corporations, like drug companies. Magic was diagnosed with HIV in the early '90s. HOW ARE YOU STILL SO HEALTHY, MAGIC? Answer: through his wealth, he has obviously been able to afford the finest treatment. It appears that there are some amazing AIDS medications out there that only people like Magic can be privy to. Poor or middle class AIDS sufferers have no choice but to die. It would not be profitable for the greedy drug companies to help them. The drug companies scratched Magic's back, now he'll scratch theirs, by supporting Hillary, a candidate who does not intend to challenge the status quo of corporate greed and influence.

"Because dey promis to make me de ambassador for physical fitness–you know like Schwarsenegger. Or de spokesman for HIV research. Either way, I get credibility back to my name and eventually a Presidential Medal of Freedom."

Hey Florida...are you calling Magic stupid? Wow! There is no end to the hate from the right. While you are at it why not make an AIDS joke or demand they lock him up from the rest of society. No wonder so many morons move to Florida to die. Just like the republican party...dead, all we have to do is bury it with the rest of their middle ages thinking. Way to go Florida!

Wow. Look at all the comments about Magic being an adulterer b/c he's supporting Hillary. If he was supporting Obama all you Obama crazies would love him. Get off of your high horses. I guess all of you are perfect, right? Guess what? I am a black woman and I'd bet a paycheck that this country is NOT going to elect a black man as president. The only people who truly think so are whites who have never in their lives had to spend a day a black person in this country – especially the South. You learn reeeeeaaaal fast about this country and what it is and isn't ready to do. It isn't ready to elect a black man. Stop fooling yourselves.

Can't wait for the news of Kobe's endorsement of HRC. He and Magic seem to run in the same circles, never getting anywhere for the people they claim to represent.

Jim from Tuscon,

I guess that would get her a lot of cross-over republican votes/

Magic, that's a poor assist; you should have passed the ball to Obama for a slam dunk.

Mr Jonson has a choice to support who he want to. No coment about race of Mrs Clinton like they did when Ms Oprah supporting Mr. Obama. It a small world after all

Hillary is a follower rather than a leader. Obama initiated most of the newsworthy items that have happened recently. Hillary just tags onto his coattails to talk about the same subject matter. I haven't seen or heard anything so far that has come from Hillary that is not as a response to what Obama is doing. Hillary's foreign travel experience does not qualify as foreign policy experience. She is old news. Her presidency will probably end up as a clone of another democratic president in the recent past. We have already seen the disasters of that presidency. We want new blood with new ideas. Hillary has not really proved much as a senator either. I would like somebody in this forum to list 3 accomplishments that can be credited directly to Hillary as a senator.
Posted By Steve,dartmouth,Newhempshire : December 18, 2007 12:51 pm

Obama have not shown NO ounce of leadership in the senate, he is a subcommittee CHAIRMAN for foreign relations for Europe, he hasn’t held one hearing, NATO is problematic for USA, how come Obama did not hold any hearings while other European countries are having hearings?

Hillary have shown LEADERSHIP in the US Senate and she’s well respected by her fellow senators from both sides of the aisle because of her work ethic and her willingness to reach across the aisle to get things done.

Here’s a timeline of attack of Edwards and Obama against Hillary

http://www.attacktimeline.com/

If you want to see accomplishments of Hillary Clinton as US SENATOR, all you have to do is go to Thomas.gov, you’ll see all the bills she sponsored and co-sponsored passed by the senate.

I could post all of them here but it will fill up this whole page.

The ONLY thing newsworthy about Barack Hussein Obama when he crisscrosses USA selling his books TAXPAYERS EXPENSE, missing votes in the US that needed his support. In 2007 alone up to September, Obama missed 80% of the vote. His reason for not able to cast his vote, he is BUSY WITH HIS CAMPAIGN.

Why would I vote for a person who uses his position to PROMOTE HIS SELF instead of doing his DUTY FIRST to his constituents?

Magic cheated on his wife too. Like two peas in a pod.

So are you looking for a president or apouse.....lol...yuo are really out to lunch with this comment.

She's working hard to get the adulterer vote.

I really don't get the Bush – Clinton – Bush comments – they are worlds apart, and just because the second Bush leaves a lot to be desired, I don't wee what that has to do with Clinton.

This is just a red-herring from people who can't find more substantive reasons not to elect Clinton.

Is it because the reasons aren't there?

you Obama supporters have teamed up w/ the rightwing attack machine in order to smear Clinton and are sooo biased against any news pro-Clinton. Clinton will be our next President whether you guys like it or not.

CLINTON 08!!

Hollywood superstar George Clooney has thrown his support behind presidential candidate Barack Obama, and has even offered to campaign for the Illinois senator. Staunch Democrat Clooney is excited by Obama's "true rock star" presence and hopes he can win at the 2008 presidential elections.

Clooney says, "I've never been around anybody who walks into a room and everyone just stops and listens to him. He's magnetic and charismatic in a way that we haven't had for a long time. I would certainly go out and fundraise for him."

Go george go!

This must be a slow political news day for CNN. Magic is entitled to support whomever he wants to but to hear him fumble his way through the reasons why he is supporting Hillary, sounds like the stump speeches that have come directly from Hillary and Bill. It goes something like this, "She has experience, thrity-something years of experience". Okay Magic, what experience are you talking about? If I said that Magic's wife, Cookie, has experience to be a NBA player because she was married to Magic, people would call me crazy. The same is general true of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

If Micheal Jordan comes out and says he'll stump for Obama, I going to be laughing hysterically for the next couple of weeks. In the end, the only celebrity endorsement that mattered in 2007 was Oprah for Obama.

Go Obama!

http://a.abcnews.com/Politics/story?id=2746424

We love you too!

I know bloggers here are far left Obama crazies. But geez. When Oprah came out for Obama their were cheers and noise. But, each time a celeb, senator, congressman, governor, or anyone says they support Hillary, the Obamaniacs have a fit and throw tantrums.

The first 3 whining comments on here are from plants from the Obama campaign that post on every Clinton story on CNN. I'm suprised Dan fron TX has not chimed in with his nonsense yet. Why don't the CNN "moderators" do their job.

Magic Johnson should endorse Bubba Clinton and his wife because Bubba and Magic, along with Giuliani, have similar morals when it comes to skirt chasing and affairs.
I would like to ask Magic Johnson how he can support people who are using stereotypes to smear an African American man who's trying to participate in the American system.
I would never vote for Bubba Clinton's wife. I voted for Bubba Clinton two times and I am really sorry I did.

CNN bringing old clips. I saw this long time ago when he was fundraising for hillary in NY. Google people. Even there is another clip of Buffet that was brought on CNN that he fundraised in Ny for her and then moved to fund raise for Obama. CNN stop twisting us. We all know you.
I will not vote for anyone because of any association with big names but what they stand for this country and for me. I am fed up!

There's no question that Clinton has more experience than Obama – the question I keep asking myself is which kind of experience really counts in this time? I am baffled by the writer who thinks Washington, Lincoln, and FDR were not presidents in "complicated times." None of them had even close to the former first lady's experience. Then again, how is being a first lady experience we should count? I want a woman president soon – but not through the kitchen door. I also want a non-caucasian multi-cultured president who can actually TALK to other leaders without immediately assuming the USA deserves rights of primacy, like the old ugly British empire. We know in our own lives that different people bring different forms of experience to their success and their worth to the community – why do we expect, in these terrible times that we need only one kind? The key for me is the moral center of the candidate, and I think Clinton has none – she ran for senator of a state she had never lived in so that she could run for president because her husband was, forgive me Clinton lovers, a real mess of an executive. Are we only ever going to look back in order to look forwards? Do executives in strong companies succeed because they've "been there?" No, I think we need radical change, Republican or Democratic – I will vote for the one who seems most capable of change – NOT the one who seems most "experienced."

First of all, no endorsement rarely make any difference. Oprah is probably the only exception to this rule. Whatever Oprah says America does. This is true for books, movies, cars, and probably presidential candidates.She is probably the most influential person in the world right now in that respect. She is the figurehead of the house-wife population. No other endorsements matter–not Clooney, Matt Damon, Stephen Colbert, and Jennifer Aniston for Obama, and not Magic Johnson for Hillary. THAT is a fact.
And secondly, I don't understand all this "First Lady" experience. Laura Bush has the same exact experience as a First Lady as Clinton, do you think SHE should be president? No, because that experience doesn't mean anything. experience means nothing. What matters is the decisions you make when you get into office. Obama will make the right the decisions, I can give you a guarantee on that.
If Clinton wins, I'm writing in Michael Bloomberg. This isn't medieval europe, I don't want two families running the White House for thirty years.

Hillary is the nominee, she will single-handedly lose this election for the Dems. It is unfathomable to think that someone as divisive and reviled as she is would emerge as the nominee. Can Dems afford to lose again? Can the country? As for the experience argument, I guess Hillary is so experienced that she didn't have to read the intelligence report leading up to the war. Her 'experience' isn't worth a whit and neither is her judgement. Does the country want more of the same old thinking of the past 16 years? New, fresh ways to deal with our myriad problems is what's needed. Obama's judgement (and he DOES have experience) trumps Hillary's old school experience, not to mention her finger-in-the-wind approach to her positions. Oh, one more thing. Quincy Jones bases his support of Hillary on smoking cigars and drinking in the White House with the Clintons (see the LA Times article). I guess it's cool to be invited to the big house, and he wants to go back. Quincy Jones is a musical genius, not a bellwether for his political acumen.

Big names are nice, but it doesn't mean anything if they're not running for President. Big names help get the image out, but please vote for the person, not the BIG names, just because some one read a book, doesn't mean they can run for President. I'm all for new blood, but right now, we need experience and knowledge in the White House, not another inexperienced person in the White House. Votes should be based on that, not what book you've read, or BIG names you know, those things just help push things along

Hillary's supporters show a great deal of intellectual dishonesty when they advertise her as the most "experienced" leader. If your main criteria fo voting for selecting the party's nominee is experience, then hell, vote for Dodd, Biden or Richardson.

The true question in this election is if we want more of the same, a return to the divisive politics of the past, or do we want new and bold visionary leadership. History has already shown us that so called "experienced" leadership is often times is spoiled and expired. Just look a George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld and Condi Rice.

Obama is the only candidate that has taken on the establishment and is promoting a genuine new kind of politics. Not to mention, that he is the most electable candidate and the only one capable of attracting republican supporters over to his side. Hillary too will mobilize Republicans...to vote against her.

Well this wraps it up for Hillary. With Magic stumping for her, she is certain to get ALL the NBA players to vote for her. Well... the handful that DON'T have a felony conviction and can still vote.

Hillary is the Goliath of this campaign and the machine she has built is formidable. She is surprised that she isn't coasting to the nomination. She should have run four years ago if she is so bold. She is not the right candidate for the nomination. If experience is her strength then she trails more experienced candidates like Biden and Dodd. She can't count on her machine overpowering the Republicans. If nominated, she WILL lose. The Republicans have known for years how to win against Hillary and are afraid of Obama. They know he will and has drawn a number of their more moderate, reasonable supporters who would NEVER vote for Hillary precisely because they are moderate and reasonable. They will only be able to attack his supposed 'inexperience' which the voters won't buy. Conversely, republican voters will enroll for the first time in order to vote against Hillary and democrat voters will vote republican for the first time. She is the most polarizing figure in politics. Her disapproval rating is twice that of any democrat. If you support Hillary, don't expect to see her as the first woman president. In spite of all her pandering to the center, voters still don't believe she is moderate. They don't trust her in office.

Listen folks its just this simple, I consider myself a middle of the road Independent and plan to vote for the person who I believe is the best candidate to address the serious issues we face as a nation. But make no mistake, if Hillary manages to steal the nomination, I am either staying home on election day or voting Republican.

There is no way that I am casting a vote to establish a see-saw Bush/Clinton presidency cycle. What'll be next, Jeb Bush coming out of the wood work n four years?

This nation needs a fresh start and we will not get it recycling the same politicians.

Enough said!

Right on, Magic!

Oprah' s support of Senator Obama is significant not just for fundraising purposes, but because her endorsement can potentially allow Obama to cut into Hillary's huge lead with Democratic women, the primary reason for Hilary's lead in the early polls. While Magic Johnson is a beloved athlete, entrepenuer, and HIV/AIDs activist/icon, he doesn't have the media presence or cultural currency to help Hillary Clinton win the African American vote. If anything the attempt to diminish the headline impact of Oprah's fundraiser for Senator Obama, only further erodes Senator Clinton's campaigns claim of inevitability.

Magic cheated on his wife too. Like two peas in a pod.

Right on, Magic!

Magic Johnson? I thought he had HIV-AIDS before he didn't have it? Anyway, that sounds very much like Hillary Clinton.
I can imagine how terribly hard the Clintons have fought for this. They coerce for endorsements and even pay for some.
If she were a genuine front-runner, she won't have to do all that. Her internal polls show that she's not winning.
Personally, I see this as a stupid copycat. It's like saying Magic and Oprah are on the same league. And I think Oprah and those who love Oprah will try and punish the Clintons for that.

“Open the door and come on in
I'm so glad to see you my friend
you’re like a rainbow coming around the bend
And when I see you smiling
well, it sets my heart free

as you are to me”- Words by Judy Collins

GO HILLARY 2008

This is non news. He fund raised for her.
Cnn is repeating clips. If you see where Hillary is Warren buffet when he fundraised for her and also he fund raised for Obama the same day.
CNN you need to stop this madness now. The people of America are watching!

Old news..

...because Magic Johnson is first and foremost a domestic and foriegn policy expert!
