Watching Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton continue to duke it out in these debates and on tv commercials really is getting laughable. Hillary loses primary after primary (10 in a row at this point, I think), yet refuses to drop out and instead tries to just smear Obama personally. This in between debates wherein she talks about how proud she is to be on the same stage with him. Obama tries to stay above it all and not respond, but in the meantime continues to talk in nothing but grand platitudes.
Hillary claims to be the better of the two because of her "experience," but in reality she has exactly zero experience. She is currently serving in the first elected job she has ever held. She was in the White House during her husband's presidency, but as Dick Morris and others have pointed out, so was the cook. Being First Lady doesn't qualify her to be POTUS. Sorry.
Obama, meanwhile, is also serving in his first-ever national position, among the most junior senators in the Senate (and alongside Hillary). At least he's not claiming to have experience. Instead he says he will provide "Hope" and "Change We Can Believe In," whatever the heck that means. I believe it means we will see "change" to a full-blown socialist agenda from our government, since both the Congress and the Presidency would be (God forbid) populated with liberals.
This is the best the Democrats can put up there? A couple of inexperienced pacifist socialists? This is the presidency of the United States, for crying out loud! The leader of the free world! In a time of great conflict, no less! The only question whose answer might be more humorous than, "who is more qualified, Hillary or Barack?" is "give me a couple of reasons why either Hillary or Barack are better qualified than McCain." I'm no McCain fan, but if the American people have any sense, he'll beat either of these two in a landslide (note that I'm not holding my breath).
If the thought of Nancy Pelosi running the House, Harry Reid running the Senate, and Barack Obama signing their ridiculous legislation as President doesn't send shivers up your spine, then nothing will. God Save the Country.
