Not everyone that has spent time in Washington working for the American people is tained or a crook. Jimmy Carter came out of the wood works, claiming he was an outsider, and would bring change? What did he bring? A complete mess and 1 term. Paving the way for 12 years of Republican administrations. He is a wonderful man, dont get me wrong, he now is probably the best example of what a former president should be.
Its not a bad thing to be a Washington insider. If you look at any company in this country or organization, a brand new person cannot come in and make a bunch of changes and expect them to go over or last. Look at Hillary's attempt with Healthcare in the first Clinton administration.
Politics is a game, we all know that, and those that know the game, get things done. Knowing the game, does not make you a bad person, it makes you a knowledgable person.
Obama is a first time senator, with very limited experience in Washington, yet claims to make vast changes when he is elected. We all know that promises are a dime a dozen during elections, they will say anything to be elected. But, if that candidate does not know the game and the rules, then they become a 1 term president with a mess on their hands.
If Obama had been Hillary's VP, that would have been wonderful experience for him and he could have gone on and been president maybe.
I know I am not liked for this opinion, but its ok, that is what makes America great, I can have a differing opinion without being judged. I just truly believe with all my heart that this is not the time for Obama, regardless of how popular he is, there have been many popular men become leaders and disaster follow. |
