Super Tuesday

Super Tuesday.

My preferred candidate has dropped out and I’m left with choosing between two with fairly similar ideas and plans.

In deciding which one to support I’ve thought about what I'd like in a president. I'd like a president who can restore our reputation overseas which has been severely damaged by this administration’s foreign policy and the lack of the “loyal opposition” to oppose. I'd like one who can bring us fiscal responsibility. A $3 trillion budget and the market's performance today were good indications of the economic problems we face at home. I'd like not only change (obvious) but someone inspirational, someone who can pull us together again like Kennedy did with his, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.”

I am comfortable with Hillary Clinton but there are those that really hate her and would oppose any idea she came up with just because it was hers. In fact, when some of President Clinton’s proposals were shown to people and not identified as his, they were supported. As soon as his name was attached to the same ideas they were opposed. Obama doesn’t carry the same negatives the Clintons do. Obama and Clinton have platforms that are fairly close but she’s divisive, he’s not.

All things considered, I slightly prefer Obama over Clinton but could support either one in November.
