I think Hillary Clinton would make a good president and I think our country is ready for a female president, but I am not sure the world is being that most Heads of State are men.
That's not really true. The last year of the Clinton co-presidency, she was in charge of the 1 year vacation where she went all over the world with Chelsea...courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers. I think that's how she touts her international experience.
Just because the USA has never had a female President doesn't mean the rest of the world is not used to female leaders - examples include the UK having had Margaret Thatcher, Germany has a lady (I forget her name right now)......... even so-called under-developed countries - e.g. Pakistan had Benizeer Bhutto TWICE and India had Indira Gandhi - I am sure there are many more!
I think the one US politician that non-Americans quite liked was Colin Powell........ he came over as quite sane and untainted by corruption as Hilary Clinton seems to have been (in some pretty shady property dealings about a decade ago, for example).
I didn't agree with the politics or morality of Bill Clinton, but he had and still has tremendous personality - Hilary has zilch!
I think that she has the experience, and don't forget that Bill Clinton is a great asset. He would be great for pr with the other countries that america has lost respect to. Yes there was the Lewinski thing. That was not good, but look at all the good that he did. Look at our debt right now, look at the war we have been in, look at the lives lost,look at ECONOMY!! WE NEED EXPERIENCE HERE FOLKS, and Bill can help us here.
Hillary did run for the Senate and won. They are champions for the poor.
Obama lacks experience. He does look like he would make a great future president, or vice president.
Republicans, well not Mitt, no ofense but I know for a fact that Mormons hide things and the one thing that does not appeal to me is "CHOOSE THE RIGHT" Also known as CRS Rings that mormons wear and use to identify other mormons and do business with, and befriend mormons only. I work with mormons here and I know I am discriminated against because of my religion. FACT.They will choose a mormon over a non every day. IT SHOULD NOT BE ABOUT Religion, but it IS FOLKS. Why can't they talk about what goes on in the Temple? Or are so vague.
McCain, Giuliani Age and corruption come into play.
Huckabee, he would be my 3rd choice.
Thompson, another movie star politician. I want a politician not an actor.
The presidency takes alot out of you, look at before and after pics of all the presidents.
Hillary likes to make everyone believe that she is for the poor. Hillary is for Hillary.
As for the poor of this country:

You have to admit that America has HUGE problems with health insurance. There are 3rd world countries that have better programs. People are going to other countries to have surgeories.
We have alot of problems, and with the last presidency, more problems.
What about the care of our Vets?? Suicide?
We need a change, I am for that, but with out slamming Hillary personally, provide more information about your favorite canidate.
I am not comfortable voting for ANYONE unless I am educated in what they are about and have some idea what their manifesto is.. however I really admire the way she dealth with her husbands 'scandal' I think her ability to be forgiving is an example to us all...
I agree. You have to say that was good. I am trying to learn as much as I can, but people are only sharing negative personal attacks. I like empirical evidence.
You also have to be in a position to run for president. Like Edwards, his wife is dying of cancer, not a good time to run for president. He will be dealing with a lot.
Being a president is going to take a toll on you and your famillies life. People are going to bring you through the mud.
And for her real estate dealings, what ever became of that? If there was something illegal, she would have that on her record. They are not guilty because they are accused.
One thing about running for president, the skeletons will come out. Everyone has got one.
well, guess we will find out, the waiting is killing me. I would like to know what is going to happen in the next 10 years, I think that it is going to be vital.
I just want a good president in there, doing the best they can for the good of the people.
but who... they all say thier qualified, thier the best.
Who are you voting for and why? would be another thread.
I would start it but I am going to a movie.
but I really am going to try to read as much on the subject as I can, just not right now.

She's a velocoraptor in a designer suit....if she gets in your'll all be seen as prey.
Calculating doesn't even come close.She knows the value of being quiet when she needed too.
That womans a predator, make no mistake....and she even took what she did in front of the entire media to be politicically expedient.
She's been waiting a long time, and unless the good old boys have already promised her the job i very much doubt that she would have opened a can of worms as the first lady that made watergate look like chickens feed.
