Hilary Clinton or Senator Obama?

For the upcoming Presidential Election in 2008, all of America will need to decide who will be the leader for the next four years. This may be a tough job to do, but the American people will ultimately decide who will be worthy enough to defend our country.

For the Democratic party, the two major players in the field right now are Senator Obama and Hilary Clinton. Both of them are running for President of the United States, and of course, both of them believe that they will be able to do a better job than the other.

Let's take a look at both of their credentials, though. Maybe they will be a good indicator of which person should be President. First, we'll take a look at Hilary Clinton. Only a few short years ago, she voted for the War in Iraq. She was all gung-ho about her vote and was proud that she voted for the War. Unfortunately, when America learned that there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction, Hilary Clinton, too, was a bit shocked. She actually came out and said that she knew that America should not have gone to war with Iraq. As time rolls by, however, Saddam Hussein came tumbling down and he was finally caught. This was a victorious time for both America and Hilary Clinton. She told everyone that she was proud of her vote for the War in Iraq. In more recent times, she has spoken that if she had known in the beginning what she knows now about the War in Iraq, she never would have voted for it. Well, Hilary, the fact of the matter is that you did vote for the War in Iraq back when everyone thought that we should go over there! You did vote for it; accept your vote and either apologize for it and move on, but don't keep switching sides of the fence depending on how situations arise.

Another issue within Hilary Clinton's portfolio is her statement about the Confederate Flag flying above the Capitol of South Carolina. She has said that America should unite under one flag during wartime. This comment came from the lady who is getting ready to vote for measures that will prevent the current President, George W. Bush, from sending more troops over to Iraq as re-enforcements. That comment came from the lady, Hilary Clinton, who is getting ready to vote for measures that would prevent any more money being spent on the War in Iraq. How is this uniting? More importantly, how can Hilary Clinton contradict herself on a very important issue and not see anything wrong with it?

Barack Obama has a similar situation with his portfolio for President of the United States. In his War in Iraq resolution, he has said that America should pull her troops out by March of 2008. That is all well and good if he wants the Middle East to become just a dot on the map. If we give the terrorists a timeline and a definitive date that our troops will be out, then isn't that giving them permission to keep working on their secret weapons and plans to destroy whatever they feel they want to destroy? This is a totally useless and ignorant plan. But what can you expect from someone who doesn't even know what race he identifies himself with?

Whichever candidate you choose- Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton- you will be sure to pick one that is not suited for the White House. Neither one has demonstrated the quality of a leader and neither one, up until this point at least, should be given the privilege and responsibility of the position of President until they can prove that they are fit for the job!
