Her husband won in 1992 without those credentials and was one of America's best presidents. Sometimes it is not just about "experience".

i disagre with policies such as obama's plan to ban the importation of toys from china. i just prefer clintons plan for the healthcare system etc. if americans really wanted change, then they would going 4 a radical like ron paul or ralph nader. don't expect to see a drastic shift in policies. what makes u think victory speeches aren't scripted for most candidates. what next, clinton used the bradley effect to her advantage??

As per policy positions------the more things change the more they remain thesame.

Only special periods produce revolutionary politics. . .and looking around this will be the century of centrist politics

bawomol:

it generates a negative response from me because u guys are the same ones that would be bitching about inflation when u have to pay for your goods at walmarts. a better alternative would be to pressure china to increase the safety of goods while creating more funding for inspection at the border. u don't want to piss china off by altering the trade balance(foreign policy experience right??)

what makes u think obama's plan would pass in a split congress. or are we going to be blind on obama's shortcoming while going fullthrottle at hillary.

Why is it so hard to see him as just another person?? does he have to be AFRICAN AMERICAN MY gosh!! I get really ticked when the very same people who say they are against racism go on and on about someone's skin color or ethnicity. Why not see him as just another presidential candidate for crying out loud?? and same with the Clinton candidate. UGH!!!

So if the white went on about on about how the white/caucasian candidates seem to be doing better than the african american/black candidate in some area, you would be ok with it I just want to know cause I am ok with it if you are also able to recieve it from the other side without crying foul.

Kobojunkie:

Then why do we do it?? I don't know about you but each time I hear the whole Barrack and then the word african american and all the comparisons, I take that as a blow actually. I mean I would rather it not be made a color issue but simply be based on the man, his accomplishments and his platform. Anywho, like you said earlier, maybe I need to keep wishing.

the black man and his penchant for self debasement. We are our own worst enemies

Mr Obama's parents separated when he was two and later divorced.

His mother subsequently married an Indonesian, and the young Barack lived in Jakarta for some years before returning to the United States.

He saw almost nothing of his birth father, who moved back to Kenya and later died in a car crash.

First i correct your short sighted approach that even a fool has a website and can put things together, thats so vain we are talking about issues and i showed that to prove that he has put policies together which are coherent, if you can't be bothered to read it then don't say he doesnt have policies.

On Iraq Obama proposes a phased withdrawal with commitments to the number of troops that should be withdrawn periodically, the idea is to ensure Iraqi's take responsibility of their destiny and open other avenues to engage the iraqi's, because they don't want US troops on the ground why keep forcing yourself there, the hearts and minds can't be won.

Secondly on securing nuclear materials, again you are not listening because this area is one of the core changes he is talking about. Direct dialogue with supposed rogue states/axis of evil. He proposes to speak to them directly. You claim you are not a Clinton supporter and from your comments i guess you are republican the so called experience so far has led the world to be a more hostile place.

Finally on al-queda i wont answer that because you have listened to Bush too much. If there are no safe heavens i wonder where Al-queda would operate from. The theory of exclusion is what is feeding the extremist ideology, agreed that theres a foundation of hate in Islam but the moment Iran, Syria becomes an ally where would the breeding ground be. Look what Obama proposes is different and scares the establishment the idea of being friends with Iran and Syria is currently unthinkable and scares the establishment because the war lords would have nothing to sell.
