  • A WRONG AND A RIGHT KIND OF EXPERIENCE

    [Read the article: America's next top Democrat]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    In regards to the debate as to whom of the democratic

    candidates has the most experience, the question or argument should be

    -- to whom of the Democrats or Republicans has the RIGHT KIND OF

    EXPERIENCE.

    As we all know, there is a right kind of experience and a wrong kind of

    experiene. Do we really want to elect some one with Geroge Bush's or

    Hillary Clinton's wrong kind Experience that so ineptley got us into the

    Iraq War....

    -- Or, do we want to elect some one like Barack Obama to lead us the

    next four years, who has wisely and judiciously shown by rejecting the

    Iraq war from the beginning, that he does have the Right kind of

    Experience -- the Right Stuff to lead us forward the next four years.

    And it is only someone who has shown from the beginning, this Right kind

    of Experience & Wisdom, that can lead us with forethought and foresight,

    out of this mess, which we call the Iraq War.

  • HILLARY CLINTON'S THREE STRIKES

    [Read the article: Hillary Clinton gets serious]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    In the most important Policy Decision of our times, the Iraq War, Hillary Clinton got it WRONG! -- STRIKE ONE!

    Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton was the only Democratic candidate who voted for a

    resolution sponsored by Senator Leiberman, allowing President Bush to list the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, which would most likely alienate regular Iranian people and allow Bush to declare war on Iran. -- STRIKE TWO!

    Unfortunately, the male leaders in the Middle East are sexist and do not respect the words of a woman or a woman's ability to lead. This is just the clear, cold truth about the matter, wrongly or rightly, that is their way, and culture. When our leader sits down to the table with Arab, Mulsin and Middle Eastern men to iron out difficulties and challenges facing us today, it would be a serious disadvantage if our leader was a woman. And because Hillary Clinton is a woman, she could not effectively have the ear or respect of the men in the middle east at this time to effectively bring about the changes we so necessarily need at this time. -- STRIKE THREE!

    Hillary Clinton may have the experience but lacks the wisdom and judgment to be the leader of the United States during this critical time in our history. And as sexist as it sounds to us in the Western World, she is a woman and therefore to the middle eastern men, the wrong sex to be able to sit down at the table with them and gather their respect, as seen by the tragic death of Benazir Bhutto.

  • How Many Strikes Does Hillary GET!

    [Read the article: Hillary Clinton gets serious]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It is a dangerous world. And, in the most important Policy Decision of our times, the Iraq War, a catalyst which helped to escalate this danger, Hillary Clinton got it WRONG! -- STRIKE ONE!

    Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton was the only Democratic candidate who voted for a resolution sponsored by Senator Leiberman, allowing President Bush to list the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, which would most likely alienate regular Iranian people and allow Bush to declare war on Iran. -- STRIKE TWO!

    And, Hillary Clinton never apologized or took any responsibilty for her vote on the Iraq War. -- STRIKE THREE.

    And as Benazir Bhutto stated, they (Middle Eastern Men) do not respect women in power. Sadly, the male leaders in the Middle East are sexist and do not respect the words of a woman or a woman's ability to lead. I do not believe Hillary Clinton will have the stature or respect to effectively bring about the changes we so desparately and necessarily need at this time.

  • Obama, Putting People First - Changing the Status Quo

    [Read the article: Obama's European problem]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Obma IS ABOUT CHANGE, PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST

    With Hillary Clinton it is about more of the same old thing, Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton - Putting Corporations and Special Interests First.

    And, yes, experience certainly matters, but what matters most is Judgment, Wisdom, Intelligence, Honesty and Integrity AND most of all PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST.

    Because in the most important policy decision of our times, the Iraq War, which has helped to escalate the present situation, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards got it Wrong. -- Obama got it right.

    And, the status quo has been putting corporatons and businesses first. For Barack Obama it is about putting people first -- this is about Changing the Status Quo, changing the direction of our country.

  • Beyond Color

    [Read the article: Bill Bennett knows black people]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Fortunately, for the country, many intelligent people see beyond Barack Obama's skin color and can see his soul shining through and hear with their hearts his message of hope and change and they are inspired. People are ready for change, ready to be lifted up, ready to believe again. And Barack Obama is the right man at the right time to take over the awesome job of Presidency. His change will be putting people first and to bring this country into the 21st century. He can do this because he will be elected by the people and not by the Corporate Machine.

  • More Accurately a World Candidate

    [Read the article: Matthews: Obama is a "third world" candidate]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Barack Obama has a unique perspective due to his diverse background and culture, which means he inately has the ability to understand different cultural perspectives, something needed to be a leader of the United States, a country in which the whole world thinks of us as a leader and super power. He can better swing the tide of energy toward peace and not war. Something beneficial because of nuclear weapons which if one goes to war has the capacity to destroy the world. So what better component than to have a man of the world who being for the world can institute peace, concilliation and diaglogue. For in reality, we are one people and one world.
