DIFFERENT ABOUT HILARY
Get this....history tells you DIFFERENT ABOUT HILARY because she should have ran in 2004 because of the obvious she was INDEED a stronger candidate than Kerry but waiting too long would only have me support her about 6 years from Obama's presidency...we wouldn't be that polarized and undecided last year because of this and the true lady for the job would be president now...I still support her as Sec. of State even though she should have been Sec. of Health (makes sense right?). So for the sake of history...think about it. Don't look backward think forward ever.
Hillary 2016!!!!
I do agree that I hope we can embrace a 68 or 69 year old woman as president....Im apart of the younger generation,Im 26.........And I do feel Hillary has proven herself and is continuing to do this.....I feel her heart and sould is in the right space and is giving her all....
Hillary 2016!!!!!!!!!
President Hillary Clinton -- Yes We Must!
As a woman, and before I pass from this life to the next -- my heartfelt prayer is that Hillary Clinton will win the Presidency of the United States. She is the ONLY woman of our generation who has the intellect, compassion, and integrity to lead our great country. If she chooses to run for President, and given the fact America easily embraces 68 or 69 year-old men as Presidents, we must not deny this remarkable woman her time -- her destiny. To do so, would truly be a travesty and recorded as such in our nation's history.
we can only hope
Hillary Clinton is the most amazing, intelligent and compassionate American I can think of. Although I do sleep easier at night with her in charge of our foreign policy, and I do see America's tarnished image becoming brighter by the day with her foreign policy decisions as well as her show of compassion for the world and its citizens, it breaks my heart that our Country and its domestic policy is not being led by this great American.
I do hope you are right that America will accept a 68 or 69 year old woman as President. I have fears of this country with its continued sexism and agism. As our President, we truly would grow and bloom just as she does in every position she takes on.
Big bad dog
Obama has so much to do at home that he has nearly no time for problems abroad. So he needed someone he could trust and who would be respected by the friends of the us in this wolrd but even more importantly by the enemies of the us. Do you remember how the russians were pissing on obamas shoes at the election day? And you ever asked why they stopped very fast to do that? For countries with mixed or bad feelings toward the US Hillary is a big bad dog. Even Obama said during the primaries that all his white hears are caused by Hillary. But for the enemies of her country she has still other things to give then white hears and they know that.
Hillary forever!
I sleep better at night knowing Hillary Clinton is on the case.
Great Team!
I absolutely couldn't be more thrilled about how it's working out with Obama & Clinton. They found common ground to work together -- and then they both exceeded each others' expectations in cooperation -- in fact, they are, in many ways, partners. Indeed, a great team.
It does seem right now that "the team" indeed is more "Obama & Clinton" than "Obama & Biden," attributable to how well Sec'y Clinton is doing, and how gaffe-prone VP Biden has continued to be (as endearing as he is to many of us).
After Obama won the nomination, I had hoped all along it would come to Hillary becoming Sec'y of State. I don't think VP for her would have worked out well on so many levels. But, also, do you really think Biden is going to run for president in 2016 at 75yo? If everything goes well over the next 8 years as it's going now, I think Hillary will be next in line. She'll be 69, which I think the electorate will accept. No one will deny she has earned her place.
She has been working very hard, has immediately demonstrated in her media appearances that she did "hit the ground running" and has a deep, deep grasp of all the issues. I must add myself to those who are very proud of her.
Brilliant , serious woman does the real work
Hillary Clinton is a brilliant serious woman with a command of policy and a deep sense of compassion for everyday people. She has always been a workhorse - never a show horse despite being hounded by the Press including unfairly charicatured during the primaries.
She is all we worship - all we long for and adore. Thank God she's still working for us all
Hillary 2016!
It would be a shame if this brilliant woman never served as President.
way to go Hillary and Obama!
The year 2008 gave democrats a rare, and hard, decision on two very powerful, smart and ready for change canidates with Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. People wondered if their fight and their team work would enhance or distroy the democratic party, and even perhaps the country for that matter.
But to everyone wows, they have become the best team... Obama wowing the country while Hillary wows both friends and foes to America!
Keep up the work!
