Hillary Clinton has chosen extremely poorly, has had to revamp her campaign staff multiple times, has struggled to find a cohesive campaign theme, her staff has allowed Hillary to blatantly lie about her experiences in Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, etc, they've worked privately to push policies Clinton says she's against, they've tried to tear down their opponents, they've given consistant double-speak to the voters about whether or not our votes matter, and they've financially managed the Clinton campaign in a horribly disfunctional way. Hillary and some of her supporters may not think this stuff matters, but this is not the type of President I want.

A year ago I would have been thrilled with the prospect of having a woman President of the United States! And while I would still like the idea of a woman president in general, I no longer think that Hillary Clinton is the one. I sense a "win at any cost" attitude that results in her not always being as forthcoming and honest as I would like my president to be and I am now convinced that she would have a severely polarizing effect on this country splitting Democrats and Republicans even further apart than they are now. Obama may not be the super hero some like to say he is but I think he is our best hope to break away from petty divisive Washington we have seen recently and God knows we can not afford McSame!!!

We currently have a President that is unwilling to change the course no matter what. Obama has belonged to a racist church with a bigoted pastor for 20 years. His judgment with regard to this church is critical to how he views this country. His wife's statements are a reflection of what the church's pastors preach. He has not supported either Michigan or Florida's voters because this is the way he won his previous campaigns -- through legal manipultaion and exposing messy divorce records of his opponents.

Okay, Hillary.

Any sane person (see, e.g., Mitt Romney) would have quit the race by now. Instead she is concocting theory after outlandish theory why she has the "right" to stay in. The woman - and the whole family - is psychotic. This is like "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" meets "All the Presdient's men," as written by Edward Albee. It is too disturbing not to stare at slack-jawed. Doesn't it seem possible that she may actually injure herself or someone else in the final moments, when the realization dawns on her?

Clintons only care about themselves. Mark Penn and the Clintons had and continue to have a very long, prosperous relationship dating back to the Clinton Presidency. The Clintons' NAFTA doublespeak will continue until the voters bring it to an end soon.

The party is broken. If Obama wins the Clinton camp will foot stamp and say the election was stolen from her like the Gore/Bush incident. If Clinton wins people will say that Obama got ripped off. Either way it goes it will cast doubt. Unfortunately with the Clinton camp she will buy, steal, and lie to get votes making people wonder what has happened to their party. While she spouts urban legends and belittles her opponent; John McCain is working on being the next president. It is truly a shame that the American people will NEVER get the straight story and doubt will be forever cast on the democratic side of this election thoughout history.

She must have checked their credentials just liked she checked the facts of the Ohio hospital story! What actions has she taken?? He's still actively involved in her campaign. It wasn't Obama's advisers that spoke with the Canadian government regarding NAFTA, it was Hillary's, just check out youtube for some interesting videos.

I hope the states that have upcoming primaries open their eyes, and see through the Clinton smoke-screen. First of all, Mark Penn can't damage her campaign anymore that she already has with all of her lies!

Mark Penn admitted speaking with the Columbian government, it's not a made up story. If anyone really believes that Hillary didn't know that this was happening, then they need to question the choices she has made for her campaign staff. She must have checked their credentials just liked she checked the facts of the Ohio hospital story!

What actions has she taken?? He's still actively involved in her campaign.

It wasn't Obama's advisers that spoke with the Canadian government regarding NAFTA, it was Hillary's, just check out youtube for some interesting videos.

Hillary, before you open your mouth, check the facts! You have lied so much, that no one will ever believe another thing you say.

I hope the states that have upcoming primaries open their eyes, and see through the Clinton smoke-screen.
