Why Clinton and Not Obama!!

I preferred Clinton over Obama based on the debates and other speeches from the initial primaries. I felt Clinton was more informed in what she was talking about and I thought having Bill Clinton on her side would be a great asset. We'd have a great 'buy 1 get 1 free' offer.

Obama while a good orator, I did not think his speeches were inspirational. For, I did not think he was strong in the content. I did not understand from the speeches what 'Change' he wants to see and how he is going to bring that change. It felt like KCR of TRS saying that splitting AP into two states would magically solve all the problems of Telangana. Obama did not come across well when talking issues and answering questions in the debate. He was dodging questions and wavering around while giving answers to straight forward questions. More importantly, I could not see an accomplishment of his that stands out to convince me that he is capable of changing America. Its like making a mid level manager, the CEO of a multi billion dollar company. He might be good at what he does, but that would not make him qualify to the most important job in the world. I guess, Americans are ready for any one after George Bush.

While he talks about Hope and Change, I felt that he is also a seasoned politician not unlike Clinton trying to get to the white house. He said he was going to bring in new kind of politics, but it is for all to see in the past few days he is anothe feather from the same bird. His politics did not last half the campaign. He was an underdog, and media loves underdogs. He is not any more and we can see Media already having a field day. And Wrights and Rezkos cases are only the start.

I always hear from the media that Clinton is divisive and polarizing. Having been in America only from 2002, I did not have much idea about the Bill Clintons' time that gave her an image of a polarizing figure. While I think they are not rational, I can see why people have uncomfortable feelings about her. And I see that people want to wipe out the slate clean and start afresh with this new guy. Which I felt is an escapist mind set. Truly, I am more impressed with Dr. Ron Paul and his message. He truly reflects change. But America is not ready for the Change he wants to bring in.

Between Hillary and Barack how ever, I'd any day go for more knowedgeable, tried and tested Hillary. She has the will, the strength and the skills to get the America back on the track that veered off in Bush's administration. Obama is a smart politician who like Clinton, benefitted because of his historic candidacy, but he is not ready for the job. My guess is Obama would become Democratic candiate but would be defeated by McCain in November.
