For the Record

- I am in no way affiliated with the Hillary Clinton for President campaign, nor do I speak for her or her campaign. I do, however, support her candidacy for the Democratic Nomination.
- I am an admirer of Barack Obama and hope that one day he will become President of the United States -- but I do not want him to win this election
- I can be reached at stopobama08@gmail.com
- Notice the '08. I have no personal vendetta against Barack Obama. I just cannot bring myself to support his campaign for president in 2008.

This blog was started to vent my frustrations with Barack Obama's current candidacy for President. The media have largely ignored these issues. We should all ask ourselves: "How is Barack Obama going to bring about this 'Change we can believe in'?"

Barack Obama would make an infinitely better president than George W. Bush, but he is simply not ready to be a president who can deliver on his lofty campaign rhetoric.

Simply put, Obama should not be elected president because he does not have a record of acheiving the change for which he calls. His possible presidency, despite its lofty rhetorical stature, would amount to a failure. The presidency, as George W. Bush's administration has shown us (or, in fact, has failed to show us), is about execution, management, and the slow, everyday work of improving lives.

I'm not saying Washington, D.C. can't be changed. I'm simply saying that your eyes are closed if you think Hillary Clinton isn't more qualified to change American politics than Barack Obama.

Democrats, Independents, and Republicans: Who can get us from Point A (where we are today) to Point B (where we need to be)?

Talk is cheap.

Someone ask Barack Obama HOW he's going to fix this country. And don't settle for "hope."
