The Democratic Candidates and Your Credit Cards

Hillary and Obama

I totally agree with what Hillary Clinton is trying to get across to the American people about credit card companies . Although some people abuse the use of their credit cards, others have to use them for personal reasons whether they want to or not. If something isnt done soon, the credit card companies will have everyone over a barrell with no way out. As far as voting for president, Obama seems to be a very intellegent person, but I believe experience is on Hillarys side. I am going to vote for Hillary for president because I believe she can do the job.

Five-star rating system? Like the terror alert coding system? Sorry, that just sounds too vague and too symbolic for me. Ditto "bill or rights". I share Harry's concern, though not his vehemence. So much of legislation and policy is "engineering", which one learns with practice in creating and comparing the results of multiple scenarios with multiple, dynamic variables.

Harry, stop whining. We need to stick together and follow whoever gets the nomination. Democrats need to take back the white house this year.

@Harry Clemitine: While I agree with you, your comment is completely unrelated to this post.

I like Clinton's plan because it's actually a plan. She's specific in what she is going to do whereas Obama is not. I am a Republican, but if a Democrat is going to be president, I think Clinton would do a much better job.

Obama

Obama was only elected to the Senate in 2004. Secondly , he has spent at least the last year running for President. Obama is totally unqualified to be President. He doesn't even have enough experience yet to be an effective Senator. It is one thing to run around and say Yes we can change, it is quite another thing to get it done. Wake up Democrats this guy is not going to get anything done. He will spend the first days in the White House looking for the mens room, nevermind figuring out who are the important people in the Pentagon. Yeah righ change. Also, Obama lists in his backgorund that he was a "community organizer". What on earth is that supposed to mean? You know what it sounds like to me a resume filler when you were un-employed. Do tell Mr. Obama what is a community organizer? Who pays you when you are a community organizer. Mr. Obama is just full of empty rhetoric.
