My Letter to Former President Bill Clinton

Dear Mr. Former President Clinton

I must tell you experience matters, but there is the right kind of experience and the wrong kind of experience. Barack Obama has the right kind of experience at this time of our History. He has also proven time after time that he has better judgment than Hillary. (Remember Iraq War and Iran resolution?) If I must remind you, back in 1992 you said judgment is greater than experience.

If we were to vote for people based on experience then Mr. President, you should not have been voted president in 1992 because George Bush had more experience than you. And if i must remind you, back in 1992 when you ran Geoarg Bush was a WWII veteran and you were a draft dodger. He was the Vice President of the United States in the administration of Ronald Reagan (1980 -1988). He had also served as a member of the United States House of Representatives for the 7th district of Texas (1967–1971), he was the United States Ambassador to the United Nations (1971–1973), Chairman of the Republican National Committee (1973–1974), Chief of the United States Liaison Office in the People’s Republic of China (1974–1976), and Director of Central Intelligence (1976–1977). Now you think about that before you utter one word about experience from that mouth or before you point a finger.

So cut the chase, you are not God and you are not the best politician either. Even if you are, that is not what America needs at this time. We need someone who will put an end to the game playing in politics, so that congress can actually do the people's business. Do you ever speak the truth Mr. President? Why do you have to resort to this? One of the best Presidents this country has ever had, Lincoln and JFK and even you had less experience than your opponent. Why can't you just accept or speak the truth for once? Why?

I must tell you Mr. President that is really like slick. The American people are tired of the media telling them what to do. They are tired of people like you feeding them lies or trying to brainwash them. They are tired of this nepotism that has been going on for the past 20 years or so. This is the 21st century; they don't want to go back to the 1990s. They don't want to fight the 1990s fights. They want someone who can unite this country again and divider. Eight years of your fights and eight years of President Bush's is enough pain for the country.

Mr. President, if Americans should always vote base on experience then, at this point I think you should ask your wife to step down and support one of the other candidates who clearly has more experience than your wife Sen. Clinton. For example, Joe Biden or Sen. Dodd or Dennis Kucinich. It will be a noble thing to do. If you can't do that the stop trying to brainwash voters.

Please do this country a favor and accept that Barack Obama or John Edwards of Joe Biden are all better candidates than your wife. For once President Clinton, speak the truth so my daughter can be healed again. Speak the truth so the American spirit can be awaken again. Speak the truth for the sake of all unborn children. Speak the truth so that our founding fathers can rest in peace.

Thank You

Potential Voter

Decision 2008 is Research and Common Sense

There are more than 40 days left before the Iowa caucuses, and more than 300 days to the presidential elections. I know many people are still sitting on the fence, on who to vote for in the primaries. I have switched my support from one candidate to the other since the beginning of this year. For about a quarter of this year, John Edward was my guy, then for about two months, Sen. Hillary Clinton was my candidate of choice. I would defend her among my friends whenever politics did come up. The more I defended her the less I liked her. I encountered more people who were against her for legitimate reasons, than people who were for her, just because her last name is Clinton. I did not just give up on her, so for weeks, I did some research on my own, using my school library and the internet. I need not mention the things that changed my support for her. But I would tell my friends they were right about her. By the end of June 2007, I decided to take a look at the rookie Senator from Chicago, Barack Obama. I used the word rookie because that is what most people and even journalist referred to him when he announced his candidacy for president last February. This time, I began by doing some extensive research on Sen. Barack Obama. The more I read about him, the more I saw presidential qualities in him. So to help those who are sitting on the fence I decided to share thought.

Barack H. Obama the junior Senator from Illinois was born August 4, 1961. He is the fifth , African American Senator in U.S History and the only African American currently serving in the U.S. Senate. He is bi-racial, born to a black Kenyan father, and a white American mother. Obama has lived and experience life in every social class of the economic spectrum, and every racial block in America; White, Black, Asian, Hispanic. He lived as a child in multi-ethnic Indonesia, and in the majority-minority U.S. State of Hawaii. A graduate of Columbia university and Hardvard Law School Obama worked as a community organizer university lecturer and civil rights lawyer before running for public office. He served about 7 years in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004 before his election to the U.S Senate in 2004. Looking at this is just a plus to any person wanting to lead this multi-racial country and the world. No other candidate in both political parties has such a diverse background.

Barack Obama has proven that he has the best judgment when it comes to our foreign policy. Back in 2002, Obama opposed invading Iraq, which has turn out to be the worst foreign policy disaster in American History. Here I quote him back them;
“I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qeada I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars. You want a fight, President Bush? Let's finish the fight with Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, through effective, coordinated intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, and a homeland security program that involves more than color-coded warnings”

All of the democrats running for president, except Denis Kucinich, voted for the Iraq war resolution. My guess is that because he lived in a third world foreign country it helped shaped his views about the world. It helped him execute good judgment, which according to many experts is the best ingredient necessary to handle foreign crisis.

When was the last time we hard a president who tells us what we need to know, and not what we want to hear? When the last time we had a president who speaks the truth on national TV, who does not misrepresent facts to suit his agenda? When I look back within the last 100 years I see two men who spoke with such candor, Theodore Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. Both men turn out to be one of the best presidents this country has ever seen. So far, Barack Obama has many similarities both men. On numerous occasions, he has said things that many Americans don’t want to hear, things that big corporations don’t want to hear. Take a look at one of his remarks on the link

Very often pundits refer to it as a gaffe. Then in one of the presidential debates, he suggested he will meet with foreign leaders of countries that are hostile to us. That is Iran, North Korea, or Venezuela. I could hear many people saying; that is the end of his presidential ambition; he is so inexperience. (I remember Hillary Clinton saying, she will not meet with any of the foreign leaders that our hostile to us because she does not want to loose a PR war.) I almost bought into her explanation. But then, I thought for my self. As a married man, if I have some differences with my wife, I don’t continue my life without talking to her because I don’t want to loose my pride. I don’t just write her emails or letters or send someone to talk to her and I don’t beat her up. I take the high road, and seek to settle our differences face to face. And each time, we have come out not only happier, but we learned more about each other. This has worked for the past 10 years of our marriage. So I began to wonder, why not apply this common sense on our foreign policy. We could forge consensus with nations that we have major differences with. We won’t always have to invade another country so that they bend to our will. My conclusion was Obama is right. So, I said to myself, we have the opportunity to elect a man who will use common sense to solve big problems and who will tell us important things we don’t want to hear and the challenges we face without misrepresenting the facts.

For the last 7 years, we have seen America gradually loose it’s standing in the world. The value or American Dollar and our economy are on a free fall. European Union and China are on the rise. Many third world countries are beginning to look to China and EU as new masters of the 21st century. Then I ask myself what is the problem and I found the answer. America has been divided into Red and Blue states, Right and Left, Liberal and Conservatives. These divisions have gradually increased within the last two decades. We have spent out time fighting ourselves rather than thinking of the future. We have spent our time thinking only about ourselves rather that our children. I asked my self if this is what the founding fathers envisioned for us as a nation.

But, after looking at Obama’s accomplishment as a State Senator, community organizer, Civil rights lawyer, constitutional law professor and U.S Senator it gave me hope. Throughout his carrier, he has been able to bring people together, Republicans, Democrats, Independents Liberals, Conservatives, Heterosexuals, and Homosexuals. He has brought people together to solve big problems that we face. For example, he help reformed the dead penalty system in Illinois that many people said it could not be done. He help passed the strongest ethics reform bill in Congress since the Watergate. He has worked with both Republicans and Democrats, and many times bulking his party’s traditional positions. If he possesses these qualities, then he could definitely unite this country again around a common purpose. I must add that none of the major Democratic or Republicans candidates have this track record and unique background It is just the right kind of qualities and experience that America desperately needs at this time.

The Senator from Chicago is has both style and substance. He is charismatic and he embodies bold change, more than any other candidate in both political parties. Barack Obama has laid out his vision with great plans for the country. An Educational plan, that many experts acknowledge is the best so far; A Social Security plan, that his chief rival Sen. Clinton has no real plan and has no position; A Universal Health care plan that is achievable; and 21st century Foreign policy plan that will definitely restores America’s standing in the world. This young man has a vision for the country that is unmatched by any of his rivals.

Today, it is clear to me that Barack Obama is the best man to be our next president. I say to all those who are sitting on the fence, and to those who have chosen other candidates already, do not take my words for it. Do not just buy what the major media is selling. Do not choose a candidate because his/her name sounds familiar to you. Do not choose a candidate because of his/her race or gender. But chose a candidate based on what is good for America at this time. The only way to make the right decision is to do what I did and that is research and applied common sense.

Why is Queen Hillary Clinton Trembling Over The Skinny Peasant From Chicago Barack Obama?

It is no secret now that the “Great Kingdom” of “Queen Hillary Clinton” is trembling because of the integrity, charisma, style, frankness, quality, hope, values, progressive nature, and intelligence of the skinny peasant from Chicago Barack Obama.

At the beginning of this year the drums were beating very hard." No one can compare with the Clinton political machine" But as we draw close to the elections the pundits are beginning to bite their tongue.

"The peasant from Chicago is all style and no substance" This has turn out not to be true. This charismatic peasant orphan has come up with great plans for the country; Educational plan, Social security plan, Health care plan, 21st century foreign policy plan and the list continues. It is clear this young orphan Barack Obama has a vision for the country that is unmatched by any of his rivals. And once again the pundits in Washington, the "fat cows" are folding their tongue.

The pundits often say; 'If you don't speak the Washington language, then you are inexperience, If you don't take money from lobbyist then you are inexperience; If your last name is not Clinton then you are inexperience; if you are able to bring Republicans and Democrats together and solve problems that Americans face then you are inexperience; If you don't have a very heavy political baggage then you are inexperience; If your middle name is Hussein and your last name rhymes with Osama then you are inexperience. ‘lol’

Experience is necessary, but there is the right kind of experience and the wrong kind of experience. The wrong type of experience which is often acquired by longevity in Washington DC is not needed at this moment. If History is a guide, this Washington experience will only maintain the statues quo. Judgment is the best tool in this dynamic time of the 21st century. Good judgment is what American needs right now. It is not acquired by leaving in the White House for eight years and neither is it passed from one person to the other just because they happen to share the same bed.

It is November 19, forty five days to the first primaries and this race is not close from finishing, but we must acknowledge that so far the pundits have been wrong time after time.

So, it leaves us with this question. Why is the "Great Kingdom" of "Queen Hillary Clinton" trembling because of the young peasant from the great State of Lincoln?

Perception Versus Reality and Presidential Elections 2008

Perception

For months now, the Clinton campaign has been using all their connections with major news networks like ABC, CNN, MSNBC and even FOX to create the perception that she is bound to win the democratic primary election. Evidence of this is widely supported by the amount of coverage giving to Senator Clinton as oppose to the other candidates of the same party.

These news networks have done a very good job in quashing very important negative stories about Senator Clinton that give the American people an idea of what kind of president she will be if she ever gets elected. In the last presidential primary debate in Nevada, it was clear CNN was out to uplift her sinking campaign from the deep sea. The moderator Wolf Blitz was clearly bias, repeatedly interrupting candidates like Fmr Senator John Edwards and Senator Barack Obama while they tried to answer questions. He could not ensure that all candidates have the same amount of time like in previous debates. More so he could not control the Clinton mob that had been hired.

The second arm of the Clinton campaign is major polling companies. I need not mention the connections that exist between the major polling companies and the Clintons. It is a given that even a third grader could prove this just by spending as little as 15mins on Google. Polls area a great tool to spread inevitability and the Clinton camp will not stop in maximizing their gains from this arm.

Reality

It is common sense to know that when a campaign fights so much to create a perception that does not exist, then they are truly weak. It is called propaganda. The Nazi and Allied nations both used propaganda during WW1 and WW11. Such propaganda is still been used today. The Clinton camp knows that her support around the nation is very weak. She has no real support among the American people that could enable her unite this country again.

To test this finding for yourself, start by asking ten educated people of various works of life if they are ever going to vote for her as president. After ten days do the sum and compare her support. You will be surprise to find out that although she has been in the national scene for over a decade, the majority of people do not support her.

Another question I want you to ask your self is this. If she is such a great candidate as portrayed by the media, then why does she have to rely largely on lobbyist to fund her campaign? She defend them publicly and campaign contribution date proves that she has raked in the highest amount of money from all the major corporations ( Pharmaceutical companies, Defense industries etc) Common sense tells us that if any candidate enjoys so much support among the American people then a bulk or her funds should come from ordinary Americans and not lobbyist.

Historically, national polls have not been accurate in determining the nominee in either party. Very often we are reminded by experts that Caucus and Primaries are hard to poll.

It is time for the American people to start thinking for themselves. Start making decisions because of what you know is accurate and not what the media tells you to do. Thank God with the internet, candidates websites and other news networks one can have accurate information about candidates and their positions on issues that affect our lives.
