Definitely for Hillary.......Obama lacks political experience

Clinton. Obama may prove to be great, but since we know nothing about him, he should prove himself at least a little. Maybe in 8 years...

But Obama is hardly another JFK. In fact the ONLY thing the two men have in common is their political party!!!!
Hillary has the benefit of being married to perhaps one of the best former leaders this country has ever known.

The citizens will never have to make this decision fortunately since they are both on the same party. But Hillary is American born and it used to be that the president had to be born in the USA!!!

The greatest age of possibility, progress, and prosperity was the early 1960s. John F. Kennedy was less "experienced" than the Democrats he ran against to secure the nomination. But he had the judgment and instinct to avoid war with the Soviets during the Cuban Missile Crisis. JFK brought the Alliance for Progress and the Peace Corps to Latin America, Asia, and Africa. He made it possible for a nation that was losing the science race to be the first to put a man on the moon. It was that young "inexperienced" President that wrote the Civil Rights Bill of 1963, that the Congress ratified under LBJ in 1964. JFK's words and actions were bold and motivated by the George Bernard Shaw quote, "Others see things and ask, 'Why?' I dream things that never were and I say 'Why not?'..." Barack Obama has proven that he has the judgment to avoid unnecessary wars like Iraq. He has raised more money from more people than Hillary Clinton, helped by her husband, the former President. She still takes large sums of money from PACs and lobbyists and he does not. Yet he has won the same number of delegates as her, and he has received more small donations from more individuals than any Presidential candidate in US history. Barack Obama can travel to the parts of the world dominated by extremists and bring moderates to power. He can build a coalition powerful enough to bring healthcare reform in one term and energy independence in one decade. Hillary Clinton's slogan is "ready to lead from day one." I submit to you that Barack Obama is not only ready to lead this country from day one, he is ready to lead the world.

JFK was only considered a good president because he was shot and everyone felt sorry for him. To say Hilary is more experienced than Obama is just plain Dumb, being married to someone is not defacto experience by conjugal osmosis.
They both have the same policies pretty much, Obama appears more thinking and genuine.

Who cares if we have a president that is young! As long as he does a good job he will be fine.
