The world has suffered enough under the eccentric US male presidents.

Hillary is charismatic, intelligent,a leader, and most of all, she doesn’t need Bill to back her. American Voters now must re-think about the way they choose their presidents.

But most importantly I think, USA should allow a political opening for Alternative Political Parties such as Libertarians and Greens. In fact, the new media or alternate media should help in their campaigns.

I think another clinton will be disaster for the USA and for africa as well (from an african perspective).

Bill clinton was all talk but no action. Atleast when it came to africa, and and hillary clinton is the same.

She is hungry for power and her time in the limelight and would not offer an alternative that americans are looking for. Barack Obama on the other hand is the fresh political force that is needed to invigorate the US political scene.

But is america ready for a minority president?, and thats the million dollar question.

I think the Bill Maher clip isn’t a good source. It is a known fact that Maher is an Obama supporter and he is using his show for that purpose. Maher is also a racist, very much against whites, in his personal life.

I find that Maher comment...weird.

Very Clintonian of you to attack the messenger and ignore the message. :)

Here’s the deal.

I was a Hillary supporter but she is a 20th Century politician. 21st Century politics is about Authenticity and Transparency. Hillary is neither.

According to my calender we are in the 21st century. Hillary’s time has passed.

Prince, if Hillary’s time passed what would you say about big states’ response in 2008 (21st century)?

Hillary is there mainly because of the support of Mr. Bill but Obama is there because of his talent and work done in his public life.

Major section of US politics is supporting Obama because they link clinton to the Iraq war. Democratic commentators have said on number of occasions that Obama’s African-American image and his less political baggage than Hillary would help US to present a new image of USA to the world.

No, you are wrong, advisers of Obama, who are also critics of the Iraq war like Zbigniew Brzezinski, are working hard to make US imperialist policy more effective to spread US dominance in the world.

At this point of time, Us is in need of a president who could get popular support because the interests of the US and its allies might require possible military actions in different parts of the world. Is Obama fit for the job?

Are democrats heading towards split? For them, its hard to decide who will be winning candidate between Obama and Hillary.

James,

Unfortunately with change, it doesn’t reach everyone at the same time. But it can’t be stopped.

A lot of people think they have a financial interest in things staying the same. Others just are afraid of of change.

In the ”Big States” it takes longer for change to come because so many are locked into the old system.

It’s obvious that the US political system needs some tweaks. And now is the time to fix it!

I do agree with Chris, the Iraq war, like Vietnam war, has divided the US political and foreign policy establishment more than any other issue till date. Iraq war is going to play a crucial role in the conflict among Democrats and Obama will certainly get advantage of this conflict.

Steve

If the issue of Iraq war is going to take central role, Hillary would have to pay for it and Obama will be the clear winner because of his clean image. It was Clinton who enabled Bush to make a decision of military action against Iraq that has been strategically damaging to the US.

Jonathan

Jonathan — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0000

And what do you say Steve, when Obama became a US senator he, like Hillary, voted repeatedly to fund the Iraq war. Is he not responsible like Hillary?

I agree more Prince for this time you hit the nail right on the head. Hillary looks well past the expiry date, doesn’t she? She reminds me the time when Rudy Giuliani was the NYC mayor. We all loved him for what he did then. Today he sucks major just as much as Hillary does now. We loved her when she was elected Senator first time.
