Do you think Hillary would have done a better job if she had won? I think Obama would have had a bigger mandate than Clinton, but Hillary and Bill working together would have accomplished more than Barack as time went on.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Clinton and her husband are still very well connected and regarded in DC and left leaning political circles, they likely would have done a better job of flim-flaming the press and double speaking to the public. As much as I despise the Clinton's I will admit they both have the mastered the art of manipulating the press and the public. Slick Willie also had a knack for using the social grease to get opposing sides of congress to play nice.
IMHO, Obama has a lot less political experience and lacks the connections to get the same kind of cooperation from congress. Obama's more extreme policies are not helping his position and his antics of blaming the Republicans for everything that he can't get passed through congress bear out his inexperience as a politician. It all leaves me wondering where Obama's campaign advisers went when he was elected to office, in the past two years Obama hasn't done anything to endear himself to the middle class and now I think he is finally seeing the writing on the wall as the next election looms and the economy is in shambles.
Meanwhile Gitmo is still open, there are still troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now our armed forces are tied up in Libya too. So much for hope and change, as far as I can tell the average American is still hoping things will get better but all they are left with is some change in their pockets when they should be earning and keeping a lot more of their wages!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I've no idea if Hillary would be better than Obama, it's a toss up.....but what I do know is either one of them is light years better than McCain would have been.
