Obama has both intelligence (being elected the president of Harvard Review), and humulity (he worked as a community organizer in south Chicago, I don’t remember for how many years. Anyone who knows about south Chicago can appreciate that choice!) that’s so lacking in this administration; and the country is taking a beating because of it.
Occassionally, I think that his charistma may hide inexperience, and that’s a slight concern. But he showed good judgement (voting against the war prior to the war!!!) and independence in thinking.
I actually hope to see that Hillary and Obama team up to bring the country back. Hillary has the rationality and deep intellect (Robert Rubin spoke well of her understanding of issues in his book; and many military leaders who initially doubted her said that they were impressed by how deeply she understood all the issues), and experiences. But she doesn’t connect with people as well as Obama. I’d rather to see the two teaming up. Otherwise it’s hard to know which one I’d vote for.
Note: for anyone who think that voting for Hillary is crazy, well, nothing is crazy since George Bush was “elected” – The lowest bar was set!
