Why I'm supporting Obama over Clinton

1) I want a candidate who is concerned about more than their standing in the polls

2) We've already been through the 90's once. Regardless of how magically fantastic they were, once was enough for me. And if the 90's were so great to repeat again, then why are the platforms that Bill won on in '92 is what he's using against Obama now? In the 1992 election, experience wasn't the most important thing, because you'd have to be kidding yourself to say that Clinton was more experienced than his opponent, the incumbent George H.W. Bush. However, now that his wife's running, your a jackass if you're not experienced enough.

3) I want a candidate who has a personality; whose personality isn't as transitive as the britches they're wearing that day.

4) I'd like to see the next president be someone who will be a uniter, and not a polarizing figure. While the fact that she's a lightning rod for partisan bickering isn't entirely her fault, she certainly has done little to discourage it.

5) I don't buy into her being the most experienced candidate. Bill Gates' wife didn't take over Microsoft when he stepped down.

6) It annoys the bejesus out of me when someone constantly talks over other people, refusing to let anyone else talk. Hillary has done this many, many times iin debates, going so far as to not let the moderator speak; I feel this is a very bad reflection of one's character.

7) She wasn't the candidate for change until Obama started to catch up; for a significant portion of the race at the beginning, she was "Ready to Lead." Once Obama started to catch up, she was "Ready for change. Ready to Lead." How is it possible to be the candidate for change and the most experienced candidate (who has taken the most money from special interests)?

8) You never know which Hillary you'll get: the Hillary (w/ special help from Bill) that was on the attack prior to the South Carolina, or the cheerful, chummy Hillary that was at the California debate after she got her ass kicked in the south carolina primary?

9) Maybe she does care about you, maybe she does care about the minorities, about the middle class. But I highly doubt she cares about any of those people as much as she cares about her political career.

10) Let's call this what it is: her campaign has been more about her husband's presidency than anything she's done as an elected official. But since he's constitutionally barred from serving another term, everything he did in office, is now something "they" did in office.

11) Maybe it's because he's irritated the hell out of me lately, but the way Bill Clinton dismissively noted that Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88 after Hillary got beat by a vote of 2 to 1, seemed to be to be in terrible taste, completely inappropriate, and quite asshole-ish.

11) I believe that she's full of shit. For example ead her "Bad Oppo Alert" from her fact hub saying she never praised Reagan. Then read the press release from her OWN WEBSITE from Dec. 12 (well before she attacked Obama over it) saying she listed Reagan as one of her 10 favorite presidents.

There's more, but I need to study.

So why did I write this? Mainly because I'm pissed off about the ridiculously warm weather & needed something to do instead of studying for Econ.
