Barack Obama
1)During his seven years in the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. Obama also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama enlisted the support of law enforcement officials to draft legislation requiring the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases. YES HELPED TO PRODUCE OVER $100 MILLION IN TAX CUTS IN 3 YEARS IN IL.
2) He was urged to run by his constituents and IL state legislative colleagues such as Illinois State Comptroller Dan Hynes
3)I am also tired of all the so called "experienced" ones that have touted their track record. If they were so experienced, they all should have had the balls to stand up and say no when Bush decided to take us to war in Iraq when that country had nothing to do with the attack on this country. Barack Obama has supported the war in Afghanistan but has from the very start said that invading Iraq would be a mistake
4) Since he has been in the Senate, he has not sat on his laurels. He has been bipartisan and has sponsored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427
I just can't do the Hillary thing. She is still extremely polarizing and I think since her husband's numbers are up, she has been getting the 'feel good' effect from it. It would be nice to have a female president ( hell men have f****d it up quite a bit, let a woman have a chance) but just not her.

Hillary...its time a woman won! Plus, I think Obama picked a really bad time to run...I mean with his name and all and he "used" to be Muslim, but now he's "Christian." People just don't want to vote for that, because with the war in Iraq going on and people's bias towards anything relating to Muslim or that country. Plus, his name sounds a lot like Osama.

I'd vote for B. Hussein Obama over Hillary any day! I may not agree with what he says, but at least you know where he stands on the issues.

Obama. he has a fresh approach for America, which is what people want more than anything after the last six years. I like his message of ending partisan politics. I think his message will sit well with Americans who are sick of the status quo in Washington.

Neither. To many personal issues they wish to exploit.

I don't know why you think this will be interesting. This question gets asked every hour on the hour since they threw their hats into the ring.
My answer is neither of them would be my choice.
