Obama Is My Hero!
Obama's strength is that he enfolds traditional convervative values and philosophy into his own -- utterly erasing the us/them mindset. Something Hillary can't even understand let alone accomplish.
Obama takes all the highlights of current conservative "values" regarding capitalism and expertly incorporates them into his own blended philosophy.
He praises free markets and acknowledges their awesome power to create products and jobs -- a nod to conservatives -- but then carefully helps those "I Hate All Government!" conservatives find their way back to the mainstream by explaining how total freedom, total secrecy and total capitalistic chaos is actually counter productive.
He does this so expertly that the conservatives are left supporting Obama and thinking he makes excellent sense.
And I love how he explained that the bubble/burst cycles aren't inevitable but rather a byproduct of a faulty economy. Obama is all about steady, responsible growth as opposed to Wild West capitalism with a boom/bust all or nothing mentality.
Hillary just screams that those bastards need to die (paraphrasing) and all that accomplishes is getting their hackles up and putting them into a fighting stance.
"She hates us, eh" they sneer. "Well we'll make sure that little girl NEVER gets any legislation passed! Ever! Get ready for 4 years of gridlock!"
This is was Obama is so superior to Hillary.
He has resonable, intelligent common sense solutions and also the oratorical and interpersonal skills necessary to get both sides to agree to those solutions.
A Congress not utterly paralyzed in hopeless gridlock between to warring factions that hate each other?
Never thought I'd live to see the day -- but if Obama gets the nomination I think we'll all see it happen.
