Hey im a democrat too but i would like to see Obama as president, Hillary is horrible and her husband is much worse, ugh can hear free trade? Alot of small towns and citys are decline beacuse businesses are leaving the U.S, If he didnt issue free trade we wouldn't have to be competing with China and the rest of the globe on a much larger scale.

Are you saying that If it weren't for Clinton, then the US would not have to compete with the Chinese? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

no i said not as in a large scale (how the hell are you supposed to stop china?), one thing Hillary Clinton promised New York state (mostly upstate) was more jobs. Upstate New York is declining whole citys are like ghost towns, within the first 3 years Hillary was a senator for new york, Central New York lost 100,000 jobs, 60,000 alone went to china. This problem is not just New York but in other states as well, so i look at it like this if she cant handle being a senator for New York, then she is unfit to be president of the United States.

Ah, but NY's economy is expanding. http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2 ... nces_N.htm There's plenty of other stuff going on if people gear themselves up to take advantage of it. There's bigger and better stuff going on here right now.

If you try to look for something negative, you'll find it - Hildog is no exception. While that was a stupid promise to make because most of the factors are beyond her control, she's done pretty well for NY on the whole. And I think she's learned her lesson about hot-dogging - something Obama can't claim.

Funny, after an initially unprofessional barb about the media coddling Blobama, SNL reams them over it and now they're starting to really ask him questions. :lol: :lol: :lol:

"Come on guys - I've answered, like, 8 questions!" Image http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/ ... 26268.aspx This just isn't going to cut it. Obama's entire platform is based on platitudes that he cannot back up, and a friendly media that treated him like a rock star. Now that the rock star treatment is gone, so goes half of his appeal. He's nothing more than hot air. Not to mention that the worst possible thing for any country in a pickle is to replac one tin god with another. But he dances nice on those TV shows, eh? :roll: Good way to keep everybody's eye off the ball.

Few things I need to get off my chest regarding the American Elections to those who are following the events.

For the last 7 years since Bush stole the elections in 2000 when the Supreme court "appointed" him as our president, I had wished for Hillary Clinton to kick his butt in 2004, but of course we had 9/11 and fighting 2 wars by then, so Hillary did not want to stick her neck out to seek for office, instead made a good move to wait for 2008 elections, which by now Bush would be a burnt out, just like his brain from doing too much drugs when he was younger.

Up until early this year, I was still in Hillary's corner to become the next President of the United States until Barack Obama started coming into focus with the American people. Hillary all but had the Democratic nomination sown up with promises by most states and super delegates to give her the nomination on a silver platter. She even boasted that the nomination will be hers as early as February 5th 2008. That was over 3 months ago and she is on the verge of losing the nomination. I voted for Obama back in the California primaries still wanting Hilary to win, but to keep her honest and not become arrogant, so by having Obama close on her heels would do that. Then she being the President and Obama as a vice President, what a dream ticket that would have been, then 8 years later, Obama would become the next president.

Well, Obama and the American people had other ideas and he pushed to become the next President. I saw his potentials early and switched my allegiance from Hillary to Obama, and since then, all we have seen from Hillary one attack after another towards Obama. Hillary had transformed herself from becoming the next President to a Devil. She has become a bitter and vicious person. She is blaming everyone for her shortcomings as being sexist towards her, as well as not being able to accept that the blacks are voting for Obama at 9:1 ratio. Bill Clinton was labeled as the first "black President" because of his close ties to the black community, and now Hillary feels abandoned by them.

I brushed of most of her "bitchy" attitude in the last few months as nothing but sour grapes, but what she said the other day, makes her a true Bitch of all times. She said, that the reason as to why she is still in the race, that anything can happen. She said "Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968 in Los Angeles during his primary campaign". In other words, the Bitch from Arkansas is hoping that some KKK would do away with Obama in June and that she can still win the nomination. She is no longer able to win the nomination by campaigning, but waiting like a vulture for bad events to happen to Obama, and Bill Clinton still has the nerve to suggest, that Hillary has at least earned her place as a vice Presidential candidate. Jesus these fuckers will do anything to get back in the White House. Who the hell knows what she will do to do away with Obama in the White House for him to leave so that she can replace him. She has become a very desperate woman.

Here is my prediction on Hillary. I do not think Obama will pick her as a VP, so Hillary is going to do as much damage to Obama as possible to try to get McCain win, so that she can crow that she was right all along that Obama was not electable, so that she can have another go for Presidency in 2010 when McCain will be 75 years old and would need someone to change his nappies every 2 hours. Hillary has become a very angry and resentful person and from here on, she is going to do anything and everything to become the next President of the United States, be it be in 2008 or 2010. She does not want to wait until 2014, because by then she will be 68 years old, which she will need her nappies changed every 2 hours also.

kikapu,
i don't think mccain will win.
i think the democrats have it in the bag, regardless of who is on the ticket.
like you, i was also hoping for hills to wil, with obama as VP, but that doen't look possible.
i do not think the americans can handle another republican in the white house right now. we are all sick to the gills with bush and his bunch of clowns.
we are sick of war, we are sick of paying such high prices at the gas pumps, we are sick of idiots in office. it's time for a change, and change is coming. i'm voting democrat, regardless of who is running.

GG,

What do you think what I said about Hillary. Is it me or has she really starting to lose it with her actions and attitude.??

As for gas being over $4 Dollars per gallon in the states, get use to it. We are paying around 7-8 $ Dollars a gallon in Europe, but then again, we have a great public transportation, specially in Switzerland, although it's not cheap, but gets you to where ever you are going with 97% successful connections made from trains to trains to buses to ferries. America had sold their souls to the automobiles long time ago, and now it is time to pay the price. Living from one pay check to other and buying everything on credit whether it was affordable or not, just because everyone wanted to keep up with the "John's".

I had a colleague in San Francisco when the Iraq war was about to start, and he was in favour of it, not because Saddam was dictator, but he thought we would have cheap gas at the pumps by taking the Iraqi oil. He really thought, that within a short time, gas was going to be around 50 cents a gallon.

McCain can win if Hillary goes on a "scorched Earth" policy with the Democrats for not nominating her. The woman is getting to be out of control. But hopefully most Democrats will see what she is and dump her sorry ass and vote for Obama, even Hillary's women supporters. If they don't, than the hell with them. They want more of Bush's policies in McCain, they can have it, but Obama will win hands down regardless.

to be totally honest, Kikapu, i do not follow the election news all that much. i voted in the primaries (for Hills) and the rest is up to the remainder of the US citizens. when the candidtate is chosen who will run, that is when i will pay more attention, and even then, no doubt you will be more informed than me. (regardless, i will still vote democrat).
the news i get is only from the computer, as i seldom read the papers or watch the news. mostly i read my start page headlines, and that is as far as i go. yes, i know that is not the most intelligent way, however, as i have mentioned in other threads, my health issues cause me to remember my dreams every night. i have to keep my thoughts as happy as possible, or i have nightmares and very disturbing dreams. it sucks sleeping alone sometimes!

Yep, Hilary has lost the primary. There's no way for her to overcome Obama's lead in delegates. It's over for her. This said, Obama's entire campaign is based on empty platitudes. Regardless who we get as president in 2009 - Hill-dog, McCombover or Kool-aid man, we're all screwed.

Out of 280 million people, we couldn't find anyone better than these three. That's a problem. Perhaps we should return to cold-war style arms race tactics. Remember? There were so few scientists in the US, that as many as possible were brought over from Russia... Perhaps the US presidency should be off-shored so that we can find someone with adequate brain matter for the job...
