Getting Presidential

I've taken a lot of time to think about the political posturing leading up to a presidential election next year; and while I love Obama, and his decency, I just don't think a decent president is one that will be effective. Don't confuse my intent, we certainly don't have a decent president at present, but if anyone of the candidates that I can stomach ideologically has the tenacity and vicious rigor to effectively reverse any of the last eight years of ruthless and senseless destruction, I have to believe it is Hillary.

It was my full intention to let this election flow over me like so many things these days, but Anita Thompson's Post Script to today's blog provoked my sense of responsibility. I want a revolution; and maybe it was her pointing out that one wasn't happening yet, that really got me thinking... and then there was the headlines today that hate crimes have risen 8 percent in the last year (and that is only of places reporting, places like Jena apparently don't report in on hate crimes--they also apparently don't prosecute them, either).

Now, Obama, I believe, will have his time; and I look forward to that day. But for the time being, the times are brutal and we need someone with less of a soft touch, someone that doesn't remind me of President Carter (proof that great men with integrity just can't always maneuver the system). We need someone to use their evil for good... and to me, that is Hillary. So thusly goes my support... and that she was called a bitch recently and basically retorted with a "Yeah, so" kind of attitude, well, that alone deserves something.
