Barack Obama: All hype, no substance

Continuing on with yesterday's theme, we think Barack Obama is all hype but no substance. We really cannot remember any other candidate getting so much positive attention for having done so little politically. We're just stumped on this one. We also don't get why voters are jumping on the Obama bandwagon without really understanding what he has/hasn't accomplished, and why that does/doesn't qualify him to step into the White House next January as president. But they're just blindly leaping onto the bandwagon as if under some kind of spell. Wake up, people! If Obama gets elected he will be in over his head right from the start. Is that really what you want?

Do we REALLY want an inexperienced person in the White House?

With all the hype being generated around Barack Obama, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that he does not have the experience it's going to take to clean up after eight disastrous Bush years. So who does have that experience? Hillary Clinton, of course!

We're surprised to see everyone from Oprah Winfrey to John Kerry jumping on the Obama bandwagon, because they're clearly overlooking his lack of experience. If they're so interested in "making history" [by electing the first "black" president--and keep in mind
that he's only half black, but for some reason everybody seems to be forgetting that], what they ought to do is support Hillary. After all, it really would be history-making for the United States to elect a female president! Instead, though, they're putting their support behind a half-black, inexperienced man, and we really don't get it.

Experience matters: Clinton 2008

We know a lot of people are taken in by Barack Obama, and while we LIKE him just fine, we don't think he's ready to be President of the United States. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, IS ready, and will bring with her 30+ years of experience that will help turn this country around again. Besides, doesn't it take a Clinton to clean up the mess made by a Bush?
