Well, it seems that the Iowa Caucuses are over and Obama has won.
I, for one, am quite pleased with this result. I have to admit that I was worried about Clinton. I’m not going to get into why I don’t like Clinton … that’s for another post.
Aw heck, I will get into it … it might annoy some people, but so be it.
In my opinion, Clinton has absolutely NO RIGHT to her position as Senator for New York. She was basically appointed to the position by the Democratic party. They wanted her to be in the congress and had to figure out where she could run. She didn’t even live in NY when she ran for office. Yes, she won in a free and fair election … but people were not voting for her because she could represent them … they were voting because she was famous (same reason, btw, that Schwarzenegger won in California). The fact that she (and Schwarzenegger) just happen to do a reasonably good job is just happenstance. I don’t know who said it … but I stick by the adage: Any decision, made in haste (or for the wrong reason), is invariably flawed.
The only thing I really want in the primary season is for the final candidate decision not to be made before the Illinois primary … so I have a chance to make my choice known.
Of course my choice is going to be Obama … and it may be a forgone conclusion by February 5th … but I at least want some semblance of a say in the matter.
On a slightly different note … I am REALLY confused by the Iowa Caucuses process. It seems so labor intensive … almost as if it’s designed to keep people from participating. I like the primary process Illinois uses. It’s a lot easier for people to participate in (not that they do).
Can’t get behind Obama either. He hijacked his way into Illinois politics and has done nothing in such a short period of time. He is not a CEO type and more over spends his time preaching and pandering than he does talking about how to solve problems.
We need a leader, and CEO and not person who seems to want to talk about something new when in fact the DEMS have been hell bent on destroying the nation via high taxes, immigration, expensive health care and making us just a little more like a socialist state. I don’t know about you but I like my money and don’t like sharing it with the Gov’t.
Free Health Care is not FREE. You and I will have to pay for it and it’s not going to be cheap.
I don’t think the DEMS know it takes to move us forward and frankly the REP don’t either so I think we need to expect honest truth with promises to make the USA the giant it once was.
