A New Era

In regard to Brittany’s blog on the subject about Sen. Obama being more qualified than Sen. Clinton to be the future commander in chief I will have to agree with her because as qualified as Sen. Clinton may be I just think that most of the nation will be to preoccupied with a woman running the country as oppose to the president conducting federal politics. Also these are now times in which many groundbreaking events are happening. For example, these being the first election in which a white female and an African-American male are running for the democratic nomination and ultimately for the presidential election come November. So we should be able to see beyond the sex and color of the democratic nominee and just listen in on what issues concern each individual and be aware that they both seem to have a common feel on how to go about each issue, whether it be health care or the war in Iraq they share many similarities. I just feel that if Sen. Hillary does win then it would be easier for John McCain to “crush” if you will Sen. Clinton. Because if McCain has to go up against Sen. Obama than there might be a tighter race than most people think and it might be as close as the 2000 presidential election. And I don’t know about you but I’m still kind of skeptical about the result during that election. Also to agree with Brittany on the whole bid about Sen. Clinton having more experience than Sen. Obama, I don’t know why people think that she will be a better president than Sen. Obama because they will both face a new wave of question because of the fact that they are both minorities plus according to what I remember I think it was Bill Clinton who was president not Hillary. Furthermore, I just see it being easier for Sen. Obama because he would just be another one of the “fellas”. And, it sad to say but true that men really don’t take orders from women very well thus given Sen. Clinton a greater disadvantage if she were ever going to set foot in the oval office as the boss. Another thing is that the article in the New York Times does believe that Sen. Clinton will be a better president but it seems to me that Sen. Obama has conducted himself very eloquently in all of his speeches and on a personal note I really don’t care about his personal beliefs or what church he attends. So good luck to whom ever may win the bid.
