She has a great resume, actually. She's a complete puppet, but that doesn't mean she's not accomplished anything. She's a remarkable person that sold out.

I agree with his point that having a long resume doesn't make you a competant leader, but neither does having a short one make you a better choice for the job.

I think he was terribly dull on The Daily Show, personally, and that like Kerry, Jon Stewert pitched him a slow ball, and he bunted.

I think America needs a LEADER. Someone that will inspire it's citizens, and make them proud again. Not a leader that will make us travellers tell people in foriegn lands that they are from Canada....

I'm sad to say that I can't really see any great leaderss emerging from either side. I see people getting elected as an alternative to what we have now, but that's not good enough. Lethal injection is an alternative to the electric chair, but the end result is pretty much the same, no?

I know what a woman president is, but what is a "black" president?

In my almost 4 decades on this planet, I have yet to hear a reasonable explanation of what a "black" is or what makes someone "black" as opposed to "white" in the U. S.

cultural identity.

Bush is a creation out of whole cloth. The entire family has been formed and molded into "leadership" material, and for the most part they aren't really leaders, but puppets for the guys in the back pulling the strings. Karl Rove won the last election, but the people foolishly though they were voting for Bush.

Lack of experience is one of those things. Nobody wants to fly with a pilot on his first day, nobody wants the to get an operation from the intern, and so on. Experience is something that nobody wants to be earned against them. The Senate and the house are the places where politicians can get all their stupid stuff out, and refine their message and their goals based on the reality of Washington and modern politics. Obama ain't got much of that going for him.

He really would make a great VP at this point. Clinton - Obama ticket would likely be a sure win, giving the first woman president and a "black" VP, which would appeal heavily to the democratic voters, and would allow them to run a more middle of the road message which would get the swing voters. Republicans have nobody out there at this point that can do much with the swing vote, IMHO.

black=negro

Black - A member of a racial group having brown to black skin, especially one of African origin.

White - A member of a racial group of people having light skin coloration, especially one of European origin.

That "worked" for Clinton, no? Or, at least fooled enough people into thinking it did. :1orglaugh

strange definition
 

People have black skin? I didn't know that was possible.

So, if someone gets a tan, they are black?

Are Indians black?

What is the cutoff point for brown skin?

So, are Japanese considered "white" along with Iranians?

The way people use "black" and "white" you'd think it was an either-or type thing like male or female.

Is "black" and "white" defined by skin color, culture, or genetics?

Does anyone really know?

Maybe it is, however, it's also very true and there isn't a professional policital operative out there who won't tell you the same thing. (assuming there isn't a news camera within earshot)

For the Republicans

Yeah, right. What, Rudy for Prez? Maybe another actor instead? Fred for Prez?

The republicans have a simple issue: Nobody on their side at this point is electable as is. Either they are far to the end of the political spectrum, or they have tons of baggage that no sane republican could vote for.

What sort of ticket do you think the Repubs could put on the table that would have a hope?

I will fully agree that a Clinton ticket with Obama as the VP would be the best possible case for the democrats. One of the democrats problems is that the far left often doesn't vote. A ticket with a woman and a black guy might actually activate them and get them to the polls.

Against Clinton-Obama? Me and JTF could win.

In a landslide. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

What difference does it make? Just because you vote in the US you think you have democracy? Last time i checked, buying senators and other politicians did not include in the word "democracy".

Its funny. Now the US wants to bring democracy to Iraq. What the fuck does the US know about democracy? Check the democracy index on wikipedia, you arent even in top 10.

You all seriously think that it will make a difference if hillary or obama is a president? Thats just sad. You should know better. Clinton has more blood on his hands then Bush at the moment, the difference is that Bush went into war and Bill put out sanctions that killed millions of children. Same result, just different ways.

Come on now..he might as well have been parking horses in front of the white house :winkwink:

He was a pretty accomplished lawyer as well.

Just the fact that you started a thread about him speaks for itself.

I haven't seen too many Mit Romney threads as of late.
