Hillary Clinton for President?
If Hillary Clinton had started her Presidential Campaign with the speech she gave this morning in West Virgina I might have voted for her. She talked about student loans (Adventist Education is not inexpensive and Pastors don't make much) and how she would take on the student loan companies and have reduced interest rates. She said she would forgive student loans up to a certain amount ($10,000 or more) if people were willing to do public service (I think that is what she called it). She said she would bring the troops home. She said she would provide universal health care for everyone. The key words are 'She Says" and though it all sounds good, I can't help but look at her with a more than skeptical view. It is so hard to believe anythings she says anymore. "Hillary, you should have started with this speech."
Sadly, she did not start with this. As this campaign has progressed she only gets better as a 'politician'(not a good thing). She knows what she needs to say to get people to vote for her. But talk is cheap. She says that this campaign is not about speeches but about getting things done. However, how do we know that she will do everything she says she will do? We don't, and if elected she doesn't have to do anything. It just seems to me that she will say anything to get the votes, and I hate that. That is why I like Barack Obama so much, he doesn't say things just to get votes. His message has been consistent throughout the campaign, but her message seems always to change dependent on what gets her the vote. I am glad to see Obama back on message and looking good. I hope he stays that way. It makes for a winning campaign. YES WE CAN!
