Re: A Female President: Is America ready?

Obama, really? I'm not sure about him. I'm not sold yet.

i like him. he strikes me as ballsy, but not in a stupid, Kusinich way. also, he seems to have a strong sense of history. a friend of mine was in Selma when Obama and Hillary were there for the anniversary of Bloody Sunday and he said Obama was genuinely thrilled to meet one of the semi-obscure members of the Civil Rights Movement, the type of person who doesn't make the short version of events, but is known to people who've studied it. he then escorted her (she's like 95 now) across the bridge. that's worth a lot in my book.
he also studied Constitutional Law, which is something we probably can't say for the current President

Question for you on Hilary. Does she have her own convictions and drive to fight for what she genuinely believes in or is she a puppet, acting out someone else's aggenda? I really need to read up on her.

i don't know for sure, but beyond health care, i don't really get a feeling that she's acting on her own aggenda
