List the pros and cons of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, which would you vote for and why?

Question

Please use your brain on this, I don't need sexist or racist reasons, simply political, if you can't do that....please don't answer.

Answer 1

Hillary: Con: She is a sociopath who cares for nothing & nobody but herself.

Obama: Con: He has virtually no experience. He has never managed anything other than his Senate office. The last time he was in a leadership position was in law school.
Pro: He isn't Hillary.

Answer 2

I would not vote for either.

Reason, I'm Canadian and I can't.

If I were American, I'd probably vote for Hillary if I were to vote democrat. The reason is that Obama is by FAR the best speaker, but I'm not sure his approach to Iraq is best.

Sadly racist and sexist considerations might affect some people's vote. They may be annoying but from election point of view they are sadly relevant. Still, if I were American, I'd be more concerned with the caliper of a candidate than their race or sex.
When you have somebody "commander in chief" of the world's biggest nuclear arsenal, you want to choose the best candidate.

Realistically speaking, there are probably several other democrat candidates of interest:
e.g Edwards. Sadly, I don't know about their depth to make quess which i like better.

I try to follow your politics but I'm pretty new at it. usually i just keep track of the winner after the fact.

Answer 3

Clinton

Answer 4

Hillary's Pro: She's a woman, and we want to believe at least a little bit of Bill MUST've rubbed off on her.
Obama's Pro: He's black, and he's not Hill.
That's it. Why else would we vote for either one of them?
I'm still waiting for that last-minute candidate who's actually an option. If he/she never steps forward, then this country has no hope. I'm almost starting to give Giuliani longing looks, but he's Republican, so there go HIS chances. Next!

Answer 5

I don't think either Hillary or Barack is well suited for the job especially since they have no real plans for Iraq. The only plan i've heard of Hillary's is to make diciplining your child or telling them what to do , pretty much illegal. How can she tell Americans how to discipline their children when she raised a drunken whore that is consequently an intellectual. It would be nice to have an African- American president. But, then people would say that there is defenately no racism in America even though the stereotypes out their for any type of race is a racist statement . but I digress, don;t vote for either Clinton or Obama!

Answer 6

Pro: Hilary...she has the backing and expertise of her husband, Bill Clinton. With two heads working together, then they will come up with solutions. History will show that Bill Clinton had accomplished many things when he was in office. If he had still been in office, the war in Iraq would not have happened.
Con:... that Obama guy does not have any experience at all, on how Washington should be ran. He has admitted that several times, so why nominate him for the job.??? Let's forget the guy, and get on to other business, and quit wasting our time, talking about him. He will slowly fade out, when people find out that he is inexperienced. This country is not ready for him yet.
As for voting for one of the two, it would definitely be Hilary, but it is way too early to be thinking about nominations for president. It is one and a half years before the election.

Answer 7

I shall not vote for either. What is either ones agenda on immigration, health care, social security, war on terror (Iraq being one battle being fought within the war), taxes, Iran, and so on? See what I mean. Neither of them have came forward with a plan (that they have stuck to for any time) on any of this. To say we will leave Iraq is not a plan. That is just a defeat. Makes you wonder how resolved they would be about other important issues, doesn't it? Hillary has too many skeletons in her closet and Barack does not have enough political expertise.

Answer 8

Both Hillary and Barack are similiar candidates. But here goes:

HILLARY CLINTON<<<<<<
PROS: Intelligent, Bill's leadership on her side
CONS: Judgement, Bill's infedelity, "Flip-flopper" Iraq War Vote, Rigid public persona, Voted for War in Iraq, Experience

BARACK OBAMA<<<<<<<<
PROS: Intelligent, Untainted by Washington politics, Judgement, Non-supporter of War in Iraq before war started, Has a unity message
CONS: Smoker trying to quit (does he believe in health care?), Experience

It is still early in the Presidential Race but presently I would vote for Obama. From a public persona standpoint, Obama seems more likeable and genuine whereas Hillary's looks uncomfortable in the Town Hall Meetings and etc. Presently I would vote for Obama. I believe people who say they would vote for Hillary currently feel as though they are really voting for Bill Clinton again. But Bill and Hillary are entirely two different people.

Answer 9

Hillary Clinton
Pro: Best suited of all to tackle world leaders
Con: Too stiff--warm up--have fun

Barack Obama
Pro: The new Kennedy--a fresh start
Con: Experience Experience Experience

Answer 10

Hillary is contentious and a phony liar.
Barack is super intelligent and seems to be the new kid on the block.
