We are at a crossroads where our choices will determine how the U.S. can get out the mess that is Iraq and recession. We have Democrats and Republicans who are fighting for the prized presidency of one of the most significant countries in today’s world. Let me tell you right from the start that I believe the most qualified people on both sides are not in the mix that we have today. You have to be really good at backstabbing, manipulation, and probably self-selling to run successfully for the president of the United States. But I tend to agree with most candidates that what America doesn’t need right now is someone who lies to your face to get your vote. So who’s the biggest evil here? Mrs. Clinton. I am not suggesting that she has lied the most on the campaign trail, but I do not see any reason why she is more qualified to be the president of the U.S. than let’s say Oprah or Senator Craig’s wife. She claims to be ready to start working from the first day, but I doubt being Bill Clinton’s wife makes you a more qualified candidate.  Here are my top 5 reason why America does not need Clinton(s) (nothing personal against her of course!):

1. Ruthlessness: I have seen many ruthless men and women who logically have to act that way to win the top office or other top positions. But the way Clinton has gone after her rival, Barak, by spreading rumors that he is Muslim or was a drug dealer is shameful. Sure, she never said it herself, but it’s coming from her campaign, so you can’t blame people for putting that on her tab. Of course, she claimed that she was unaware of all this, but we all know politicians are good liars, aren’t day? I admire people who try to prove to people that they value their votes and really like to have the job, but she has disgusted me by her drive to get the job by any means possible! If Mrs. Clinton’s plan is to get the job even if it means dividing America further, then why put her in the office?!
2. Inexperience: Hilary has talked about how experienced she is when it comes to foreign policy and other matters. I don’t know where she is getting that from, but the last time I checked when you go to a job interview (and make no mistake, this is a big interview for the most significant CEO position in the nation) and claim to have some experience, you are usually asked for some sort of proof. I have not seen that from Mrs. Clinton, and I doubt we will get to see it as it’s not there. Having a relationship with Bill doesn’t count here! I’d like to be proven wrong, but to tell you the truth, everyday that passes us by convinces me even more that she is not nearly as experienced as she claims to be (she know Boto, so what?).
3. Dishonesty: What is worse than being stupid? Being Dishonest! George Bush has made some dumb mistakes, but I wouldn’t blame only his stupidity for those. George is a terrible president because he has made the wrong decisions and has been dishonest about them from the start. That’s what I see with Clinton. She may not be as dumb as George Bush (it’s hard believe me!), but she is as dishonest it seems. She claims that she has had a say in almost everything that Bill Clinton did during his tenure. Wait a second… I thought the president of the U.S. was supposed to be making the decisions by himself/herself, so technically Hilary is claiming that she was the REAL president of the U.S. in that period as she was making the real decisions.  That would also mean that what people got from Clintons the last time was a complete fluke as Mr. President was allowing his wife to make the more important decisions. Dishonest… Dishonest… Dishonest…
4. Weakness: Hilary may be a strong individual but she has shown incredible weakness in allowing her husband to come to her defense times and times again. Instead of acting like a strong woman that she is, she has acted like a victim, a little girl that is ganged up on by bully boys! Is that what we need for America in these challenging times? Are we really voting for Mrs. Clinton or is it really Bill who is anxious to have another run as the real top dog in the U.S.? I will get to the issue of “girl against men” later, but Hilary’s got to stop playing that card. While some voters may sympathize with Clinton, all this portrays her as a weak individual.
5. Sexism: Many of you may disagree with me but as much as Clinton has played the gender card, she is the one that is sounding like a sexist. I have not seen the so-called “boys” claiming that they should get the votes because they are boys or they are superior to women. However, Clinton is using her gender to beg for votes. In essence, she is using gender as a strategic means as others can’t call her on that or they will be considered sexist. Using the gender card is as low as one can get in an election and that’s what scares me. We need someone who is strong, honest, and the right person for the job. Mrs. “I am your girl” Clinton certainly isn’t that person.

I am certainly not suggesting that I think any of these guys are actually going to do America some good, but there are better choices than Mrs. Clinton. Why is it that someone like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich is looked at like clowns even though they have some good ideas? I have not heard one original good idea from Mrs. Clinton, and yet she is the front-runner? She never answers a question and always comes up with some generic half-hearted answer that really shows how much she cares about America. Mrs. Clinton may sound like a nice individual and she has certainly connected with a significant number of women in the U.S., but her being a woman or former first lady does not qualify her for the top job. 2008 is too important for the Americans to put someone in the office because of name, fame, gender, or race. I don’t give a nickel if we get the first African American or female or gay president as long as he/she is the right person for America.
