Why I voted for Hilllary Clinton

I'm pulling for Hillary because I think a vote for Obama is a vote for Ted Kennedy, and Claire McCaskill. Neither of which I'm fond of.
Experience is more important to me than fresh, cute or new or a group gatherer. With Ted Kennedy behind Obama we're really not getting new or fresh ideas.
I still wonder if Obama actually voted correctly his intent when he voted no for the war. I wonder if he meant to vote yes and made a mistake and is now using that mistake to his favor against Hillary.


It was revealed to me during the Nevada debate that Obama needed some voting lessons and he got them that evening from Hillary and Edwards. It was revealed that Obama voted "present" 100 times. Hillary pointed out that "present" means "maybe". Obama then said that he didn't like something stated in the bills. And Edwards enlightened Obama by saying if you don't like something in a bill you should vote "no" not "maybe". Then there was another ocassion that night that made it clear to me that Obama didn't know how to vote on bills while in the Senate for one whole year (before he declared himself presidential material). Hillary and Edwards had voted "yes" for a bill that put a ceiling on the interest amount that credit card companies could charge people with balances. Obama thought the interest rate was too high and voted "no". Where then, according to Edwards, Obama just lifted that ceiling and allowed credit card companies to charge even more. Hillary and Edwards thought the interest rate of 30% was high too, but it still put a ceiling on it until a better bill could come forward for a vote. Bills can be tricky and that is where Hillary's experience comes into play. It's the president's altimate job to sign off and finalize bills into law by voting yes or no. So it's imperative that the president know how to vote. I wonder if he meant to vote in favor of the war but voted no by mistake and is now using that to his benefit to go after Hillary.


And recording Hillary's voting "yes" for the war. She and others voted yes to patriotly give Bush the okay to use his good judgement when considering the facts of the forthcoming investigations which Bush ended up manipulating to his favor. Their vote didn't matter alfter all because Bush was intent to go to war and did. So there you are!
