"(3.) Getting things done as president requires getting the nation behind you first, then pressuring congress with your public support. Obama is hands-down the most inspiring candidate and therefore will be able to most easily get that pressure."
Thank you, Gruss. I was floundering around trying to find a good way to put this, but you've done an admirable job. Almost every candidate has their "pie in the sky" ideas for how they want to change the US. If elected, some of a candidate's ideas will be implemented, some won't. Maybe none will. But I think Obama at least has a better shot simply because, as Gruss said, he's better at getting public support to influence Congress, and he's more willing to work together with Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, to get his ideas through. I also believe, from what I've read and heard, that he's more likely to listen to ordinary PEOPLE and act from the base of what they want and need, rather than his interests or his cronies' interests. Hillary is too polarizing and self-interested. The minute she gets in the White House, it's going to be Bill Clinton all over again with Republicans or people she/he's pissed off coming out of the woodwork to block her at every turn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:253649 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
