Why do you think Hilary Clinton would be a bad president if chosen?

Question

I am just curious. I do not have a problem with her, but I just want to know your opinion.

Answer 1

She has no balls to run a country, and she supports terrorism. Now, if you were to bring in Condoleeza Rice, That would be my choice for president.

Answer 2

firstly, i'm canadian. hilary being prez would only have an indirect effect on me via our two nations' relationship. Personally I don't have anything against hilary.

however, if she is elected, i would be curious of her decision-making prowess and efficiency. also, i would question her ability/inability to not use emotions while making decisions, and will she keep objectivity in main view at the same time.

let's face it, women do tie in emotions to decisions. it may not be a bad thing, but it does affect the way decisions are made. that's my main concern. cuz when it comes to leading a nation, i would like to see my leader as strong, decisive, objective yet compassionate. i think she encompasses a lot of that, save for the decisive part, i just don't know her track record.

one lesser concern is her ability to sway the cabinet and joint chiefs. will she be effective in persuading them effectively and getting their buy-in on important decisions and those do-or-die moments? again, i don't know her track record, that's just a concern.

lastly, how will she be to her citizens? will she be a margaret thatcher, ruling with an iron fist? or a sympathesizer, which will lessen the presidency?

Answer 3

I don't like her because she had no right to run for the senate in NY when she was not a NYer. I was so disgusted I moved. She just came in and used all her money to buy her way into any senate seat that was vacant. We had lots of wonderful people in NY who could have run for that seat. She bought a house there a couple of months before the election just to get the seat. She does not live there but in Washington and before that Arkansas. I was angry that there was not a law to prevent that.

I feel she has Already had 8 years to make a difference in our country. She will do anything for power. It is all about her and power.

I would love to see a woman who had made it up the ladder herself by honest means like Condi run for president.

Answer 4

Well voting for the war in Iraq and then switching sides afterwards doesn't really show that she sticks to her beliefs, if just means she'll do anything to get a vote and so that no one get's mad at her. She can't be a good president if your switching sides all the time, that's what makes Bush a good leader, despite being hated by alot he at least sticks by what he believes in and doesn't back down just cause people cry and moan constantly. Being a leader isn't an easy thing but making decisions you feel are best are key to being president, that's the reason you become president.

Answer 5

I don't agree with liberal domestic or foreign policy. I see Hillary as an extremely disingenuous person. She is all about telling people what they want to hear, not what she believes. I was appalled and disgusted by her husbands presidency and I found many of the things she was involved in despicable. Namely the Castle Grande real estate scam, Filegate, and Travelgate.

Answer 6

I consider myself liberal and I don't want to see her as the next president. I'd rather see Al Gore (even though he's not running) or Dennis Kucinich get the position.

Why do I think she'd be a bad president? Well, I guess that just depends on what some people consider a "good" or "bad" president. Based on my personal political views, I don't think that she'd work in my interests therefore she'd be a bad president for me. You see, there's no such thing as a "good" or "bad" president. It all depends on whether they work in your interests and benefit you. I personally don't think that Hillary would work in my interests so I don't think she'd be a good president for me. Others may disagree but that's Democracy.

Answer 7

Senator Clinton is a career politician, and a lawyer,she has never been poor, and doesn't mind cheating to get what she wants..aka whitewater..normal rules just don't apply to her. She is as far left as any rich person can be, but she doesn't mind sliding to the middle when it is convenient for her political goals..I certainly can't respect that, so how can we expect the rest of the world to respect us.

Answer 8

I don't think Hillary is a person with integrity, too many questionable events in her past. She strikes me as one who will do or say anything to get elected and to stop others from being elected. She is not the person I want to represent our country. We need a squeaky clean President to represent our country in 2008.

Answer 9

I have not a clue with who I will vote for in 2008
but having said that I don't have a problem with Hilary Clinton.
My wife who is (was?) a big Republican supporter for years and supported President G.W.Bush...now my wife says she does not see anything wrong with voting for Hilary Clinton.
I think its refreshing to see Hilary run for President ..not because she is a women but I think she is a smart women who could make a great president if she was given a chance. We have a lot of good people who could do the job but Hilary Clinton would have an edge as she is a seasoned politician and I am thinking she just may be #44 president. it could happen..

Answer 10

Anyone with a few days to kill can get her record of shady deals , her indictment ; her illegal campaigning . The first first lady ever to be indicted .But , all that aside , I want a president who's for America first . Not for herself . Imagine listening to that storm-trooper voice as the first First Dictator ?

Answer 11

I think it would be retarded for all the women in this country to vote for her simply because she's a woman. I would love to see a woman president in office, but more than that I would love to see someone principled in office, and that is something that she is not. She flips back and forth constantly changing to what would be popular at the time. So nope, I don't think she would be a good president, but then again nearly anything is better than the freedom robbing idiot we have in office now.
