Many people keep telling me that Obama is just good at saying what the crowd he is speaking to wants to hear. I do not see that in him, I see honesty, and willingness to listen. In Clinton, I have seen dishonesty, (ie. Bosnia trip) and by not getting on board behind Obama and giving him support, I have seen unwillingness to listen.(??) Am I wrong? The democratic party in many areas seem to be begging her to help unite the party. She either doesn’t listen, or just what is she doing?

I was recently asked by a friend who was I voting for? Clinton because she is a woman or Obama because he is black. Of course my response being that I will vote for the person who will best help this country come up from the depression that it is currently in. But, I will be honest in saying that I was unclear what either persons’ views were on certain issues because they indeed did sound the same. So, Ron, thank you. You made it all very clear for me. I was already leaning towards Obama, especially after Hillary’s very femine, emotional, bi-polar breakdown on television. You can’t be a ball-buster and a lady at the same time. One or the other please. But, I now see the big differences and I know now without a doubt who I will vote for. Thanks Ron.

I lost respect for Rice due to the way she handled warnings about al Qaeda before 9/11.

I might forgive her for not having acted on them as before 9/11 the Bush administration’s view that a non-government entity could not do us serious harm was understandable (even if wrong). However I cannot respect her for the way she subsequently denied having receiving the warnings about al Qaeda from the Clinton administration when there was a clear paper trail that she had received them.

I worry about someone who responds to being wrong by resorting to such denial. It reminds me of her boss.

Iam not for either canadidate but just remember two things

1. 1993 healthcare– wined and dinned her CEO friends and got ZERO done.

2. Whitewater gate and her 1,000 into 100,000 trading. Both lies and against the law if true.

This country elected her hubby nicknamed “slick willy” and believe it or not this country is paying for that mistake. Ask anyone who was part of Enron or Worldcom. Over inflated economy is also bad since a correction(ression) is needed. Bush has made some mistakes but Hillary is hated not due to being a woman but because of her stances and lack of productivity.

The best reason to vote against her “she lies like her husband” two examples above and just recently the latest spin on her bosnia trip. The lies won’t end so why even elect a person like that to president, woman or not.

I would vote for Rice in a heartbeat and the world would get a strong black woman as president… hummmm just a thought.

Good day.

Chris, I just wanted to chime in and say that I enjoyed your intelligent and nuanced perspective in your reply above.

and

Ron, thank you for your perceptive delineation between the two candidates on the issues. This is exactly what I needed to get passed all the hulabaloo I am normal spoon fed by the mainstream dialogue.
