The Problem with Hillary

So while Hillary is telling us that she has what it takes to be president on day one, what we see is a Democratic candidate who claims to want to protect the American people from having to live through another Republican administration, yet now that she’s hopelessly behind in the delegate count, lacks the integrity to stand by an agreement made by all of the candidates prior to the primaries. We also see a candidate that is so desperate to protect the American people from the Republican Party that she’s slinging mud all over the Democratic effort, and endorsed the Republican nominee over her Democratic opponent. In addition, we see a candidate who has built her entire career on the proposition that she’s a strong, independent woman, yet now, seems all too willing to throw the principles that’s guided her life out the window to use her husband’s resume to reach her goals. And finally, we see a candidate who claims she’s uniquely prepared to be president, yet used such poor judgement, and mis-managed her finances so badly, that it caused a budgetary crisis within her campaign.

The American people need to ask themselves one question-in light of what we’ve already gone through with George Bush, is this the kind of character that we can depend on to repair our country? On the other hand, their only criticism of Obama is their claim that he’s inexperienced. But if Barack Obama is so young and inexperienced, how is it that he’s handling both Bill and Hillary with such ease? And why is it that it’s the two “seasoned politicians” who’s finding it necessary to play dirty politics? America needs to give that some thought.
