sorry

hello dear ,

i like hillary clinton and i think she will win because she has every capability to be a president of us.Bill clinton is very experience person and i think he will help her.

I'm kind of annoyed that people seem to think she's going to need Bill's help. I'm guessing he'll have the same role as any other spouse of the president. She has a hefty resume of her own you know?

Can someone explain to me what is wrong with Hillary Clinton? I'm trying to understand this election, but I honestly don't know why so many people have this extreme hatred for her.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I really just want to know what I'm missing in all of this.

I don't know either...I think some people are jealous cuz she is a lady maybe? I like her..

It's her personality and her behavior. She's very unprofessional when listening to other candidates; she exudes a "female dog" aura. She's snarky and rude with the front of being oh so kind and polite.

So because Obama can put up a nice guy front he's better fit to run a country thats boardering recession?

I know she's probably a complete wench, but why should anyone care what she's like in person if she gets her job done? How about this, what has Obama actually done other than have a nice smile and decent speaking skills?

No, I think he literally IS a nice guy, and from watching Hillary for many many years, I know she's not a nice person. I just plain don't like her. I don't like all of the things she stands for either. I can agree with Obama's stances. I've done a lot of research on both of them, so it's not just surface opinions or first impressions. I think Obama is more honest and does not have a mask, unlike Hillary. She knows how to hide behind a mask, to not show what she's actually thinking. Obama doesn't HAVE to hide. His honesty and openess is what I like about him. He has nothing to hide. Hillary stayed with a man who cheated on her. What's up with that? Just for the political influence? She's corrupt before she even gets in office!!

I disagree.

I know you're not thinking surface opinions, you're actually someone I was hoping would say something because I remember you saying earlier you didn't care for her.

I disagree with you though. You think Hillary is the only women who has stayed with her man when he's cheated? I don't think its a flaw, nor do I think its an attribute. Its just something that has happened and its ridiculous to even bring it up. And that you say she's corrupt because she's stayed with her husband? Tell that to the thousands of other women who've stayed with their husband. It's a reality. You're also acting as if Bill was the only person in office to ever do something like that in office. I don't know, I just think its a silly argument.

I also have a hard time believing that Obama is a spotless guy walking through a landfill. The idea that he doesn't have a little filth on him is laughable. And I'm sure he's very nice, but when I think of a leader I don't want someone who is going to vomit out flowers. I'd rather have someone who is going to get things done, if that involves being rude then why should I care?

Really, though, their platforms are SO similar. That's why it's coming down to a personality thing. Hillary just isn't as personable, that's a fact.

I do think that has something to do with he being a woman, though. If a man acted like her, they'd just say he was being aggressive. But women aren't supposed to be aggressive, they're supposed to be nice. And Hillary doesn't fit that stereotype, so people rebel against her.

Frankly, I like 'em both because their platforms barely differ at ALL and I think they could both get the job done. Personally, I do like Obama better because I've heard him speak and he won me over long before he was a candidate. But I wouldn't be crushed either way.

Right
