Finding out where either one of them stand on the issues is difficult enough. How's anyone supposed to know which has better stances. making fun of them should be easy.

Funny video.

I don't like either of them for president.

I think Hillary is way to divisive and our country needs brought together now more than ever perhaps. If we are going to fix the major problems we have, party lines have got to be crossed. We can't have another presidency doomed to low approval ratings simply because half the country belongs to a different party, which is what I think would happen with Clinton.

At least Bush earned his dismal approval ratings. That poor guy can't do anything right.

As for Obama, he's just not ready. Yeah, he's exciting and makes for good TV and good newspaper articles, but is he truly qualified to be president? We need someone with foreign policy experience in the worst way. I just think Obama is too green to handle the tough situation this country is in.

Well things can change in the next year. They might say something good, something bad, or something that doesn't affect us at all.

There's another Democratic debate on this Thursday on CNN fyi.

I've watched them a bit, but I get so frustrated because it seems like none of them will actually say anything except for Mike Gravel. Mike Gravel doesn't seem to try to give the annoying "we are united" answers, he really tries to answer the questions, even if he goes off subject. Most of the others will actually answer the question every few times they're asked, but it seems like Hillary doesn't like to answer questions unless she knows that what she is saying will be liked by a strong majority of Americans, and almost all Democrats.

I was listening to NPR the other day and they were talking about Hillary. She was touring around and stopped in a town to give a speech. She mentions in her speech about how she went to a local diner to have lunch and met a single mother who was working as a waitress. She then used that to talk about how she "understands" single working moms.

Well, NPR caught up with the waitress and asked her about the encounter with Hillary. She said that the owner let her and her entourage eat for free and that Hillary didn't even leave her a tip. They asked her if she thought that Hillary understood her grievances when she talked to her. The lady said no, that Hillary has no idea what it is really like to be a single working mother. That Hillary seemed like she was from another planet.

Even though it isn't really funny (not leaving a tip like that) I can't help but laugh. Who screws someone over like that and then uses the story to brag about how understanding she is? Oh yeah. Hillary Clinton.

What a phony.

And then her campaign insists that they left $200 tips!!!!

The waitress is asked about this and responds "Why would I lie?"

Clinton would have been a lot better off, saying that one of her assistants must have forgotten, and that she is sorry.
