The more I pay attention to Obama the more I look wistfully back to Hillary. Given the choice between the electric chair or the gas chamber I'd pick the one which would do the job quickly with minimum mess. I think Hillary would do the best job the fastest. Obama strikes me as an ideological incompetent. Great rhetoric; inane themes; fresh face; not a clinton or bush: has it all. But he has no clue about that which he speaks. His initial moves are not impressive. He sponsored poverty legislation which would have the US fund global poverty programs. Then I find his has hired ZBIG as his foreign policy advisor who is the same advisor that was to helpful to Carter too many years ago. So while standing in the starter box Obama demonstrates a proclivity to globalism. Hillary is the same but I judge her as having a strong sense of real politic, something I sense is absent in Obama. He strikes me as a doctrinaire statist who is long on theory and rhetoric and short on reality.
