How can Hillary be objective when her and Bill have made millions overseas from countries we will be negotiating with?Bullfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019620619450825193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-62287110780594121332008-11-23T14:19:00.000-08:002008-11-23T14:19:00.000-08:00Condi has the qualifications, no doubt, as did Pow...Condi has the qualifications, no doubt, as did Powell.

I agree with it. <BR/><BR/>And I actually agree with Sir Bullfrog on the perception that Hillary may be somewhat of a prima donna, but I also believe she's a very smart and capable politician and will do the right thing and not undermine Obama--that would be a big mistake for her.<BR/><BR/>And I don't agree with the extreme far left of the Democratic Party or with their "take no prisoners" mentality.<BR/><BR/>We don't have the time nor the luxury at this point for revenge.<BR/><BR/>And, Sir Bullfrog, I made an assumption that you were like other conservatives who wish Obama failure. I was wrong.<BR/><BR/>Ribbit.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-13672468964288635232008-11-21T12:59:00.000-08:002008-11-21T12:59:00.000-08:00Here is an excerpt from a New York Times article, ...Here is an excerpt from a New York Times article, courtesy of Newsmax:<BR/><BR/>"The Times writes that Hillary will be powerful, but “will have … to subordinate her own agenda and ambitions to Mr. Obama’s and sacrifice the independence that comes with a Senate seat and the 18 million votes she collected during their arduous primary battle.”"<BR/><BR/>Her thirst for power and ego could be a bit of a problem.Bullfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019620619450825193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-64054278052709646142008-11-21T12:46:00.000-08:002008-11-21T12:46:00.000-08:00Dave: You get it.

So either his suppoerters didn't get that, or just don't care because they have designs of their own. The 3rd option is they just hate Republicans and McCain didn't stand a chance against anyone.Bullfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019620619450825193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-1769219549860499662008-11-21T12:43:00.000-08:002008-11-21T12:43:00.000-08:00Shaw: So, putting Condi next to Hillary, your mon...Shaw: So, putting Condi next to Hillary, your money is on Hillary? Couldn't disagree more, especially due to Hillary's significant other and the drama that would bring.<BR/><BR/>Whether there is a Republican or Democrat in the White House, they hold the highest office in the land and have the power and influence to significantly impact my life, so I reserve the right to keep a watchful eye.<BR/><BR/>Show me where I predicted Obama will "fail". It has been just the opposite, in fact I believe with little opposition Obama may be the most effective administration in many years. Whether that is a failure for America is a different story.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't care less if my opinion doesn't align with the status quo, in fact being a dissenting voice appeals to me.<BR/><BR/>I wish Obama the best because in just weeks he will be the leader of the free world, and arguably the most powerful man on the planet.Bullfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019620619450825193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-56652261543110594132008-11-21T12:38:00.000-08:002008-11-21T12:38:00.000-08:00But Shaw, if the reports from KOS are accurate, on...But Shaw, if the reports from KOS are accurate, one would have to feel saddened by the left's attitude at what was really Obama's first stab at bi-partisanship, the restoration of Senator Joe.<BR/><BR/>You know that i too am a supporter of Obama, and honestly i have wondered how the extreme left of the party would react if Obama made good, or even attempted to make good on his promises and hope for a new tone in D.C.Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272431500457083818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-17079099836188789482008-11-21T12:28:00.000-08:002008-11-21T12:28:00.000-08:00"She certainly is no Condi."With all due respect, ..."She certainly is no Condi."<BR/><BR/>With all due respect, Sir Bullfrog, I understand that as a compliment.<BR/><BR/>Can you give us a list--yes a list, because a successful SoS should have many accomplishments under her belt--of the outstanding achievments Condi has accumulated during her term as SoS?<BR/><BR/>Tell us, for example, how she has advanced the peace in the Middle East? What accords has she put forth between the Israelis and Palestinians? How has she tamped down the violence there?<BR/><BR/>As for Hillary? She's known all over the world, and like it or not, the Clintons are well liked and admired all over the world. <BR/><BR/>She will bring a lot of smarts and prestige to the State Department and certainly everyone in the Senate--Republicans included--say she is a very quick study.<BR/><BR/>But I certainly understand your role as the opposition is to criticize each and every appointment Obama makes and to predict that his administration will fail.<BR/><BR/>Just understand that you are a distinct minority in this hope.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.com
