Leadership skills lacking Hillary Clinton bets on Texas, Ohio

Despite the constant claims that Sen. Clinton would be the best suited from "Day One" she has recently been exhibiting some extreme alterations to a campaign once thought locked in. One year ago today it was Hillary in a landslide as there seemed to be no viable challenger. No questionable tactics were evident. The spending was controlled and the thought was that these caucuses and primaries were nothing more than an exercise. After all was this not a return to the Clinton ideology and the years of a better life?
Joe Biden, Dodd, Kucinich and the rest were mere mortals compared to the Mighty Clinton Machine. Then comes "Obama" the rising star of the Democratic Party. Most in the Democratic hierarchy knew of this man from the land of Lincoln (Illinois). The fact that he is African American was an irony. Yet certainly they believed that his being an African American may draw both positive and negative attention yet would be no obstacle to a Clinton nomination. As Bill Clinton´s spin on South Carolina summed up the Clinton mentality "Jesse Jackson" won two times there. As many know this was his attempt to downplay Obama´s importance.
One of the major points that the Clinton campaign brings against Sen. Obama is that he has no experience at leadership. However the facts are showing that indeed he is proving that his judgment is far superior and is more conducive to a leadership role. Those in the government and the military cautioned President Bush on invading Iraq. President Bush 41 was negative when asked. Yet Sen. Clinton member of the Armed Services Committee claiming experience and knowledge voted for a war that still in truth was unjustified and a national security debacle. Sen. Obama spoke of his opposition before hand.
Due to voter apathy of gaining knowledge about the policy being explained the little nuances are not understood. Total Universal Health Care by mandate and private insurance may sound good. I hate to quote a Clinton "talk is cheap". Explain the results of not buying insurance. (Jail Time or Fines) What is the depreciation of every dollar spent? 25-30% before actual medical procedures are even attempted? Unlike the claims that our Health Care is first in the world we are seeing increased infant mortality as well as lowered life expectancy. The Clinton association with the Insurance industry is a leading player here.
To gain perspective we must see that from Bush 41 through Bill Clintons two terms then a repeat of the same with Bush 43 nothing much has changed. NAFTA began under Bush 41 then was ratified by Pres. Clinton with a democratic congress. And with all aspects continued and expanded under Bush 43. This is the point that Sen. Obama is trying to make. Old Washington thinking should be ignored as a new day has arisen. We need true leadership not the false and unforgiving ones of the past.
Here is but a few more reasons that Sen. Clinton´s judgment should be questioned.
1. Invasion of Iraq-Supported
2. 345 million in earmarks-Waste full spending.
3. Claiming no connection to special interests.
4. Changing campaign management.
5. Campaign tactics.
6. Willingly misleading voters.
7. Campaign financial problems.
8. Ignore voters by gender and race.
9. Agreeing to rules then demanding changes once favoritism is gained.
10. Pointing fingers when upon further review they point back.
11. Support of NAFTA since inception.
12. By force all Americans must buy health insurance.
Unlike the Clinton campaign Sen. Obama runs his from bottom to top. This allows more understanding as well much more support from those that have investigated the truth. It just may be time to allow those in the ditch to experience what it feels like on the surface.
Let us all just face some simple facts. We have been dictated to for way too long. We are losing our jobs, homes, families and lives. Our leaders are pawns of special interests and lobbyists despite the claims of those that gain contributions from said. We know all too well that to be excluded means only that inclusion is just but a dream. Whatever happened to we as in "We The People".
Judgment = leadership experience plays no part. You either have it or you don´t and Obama oozes it.
