Hillary - she knows what change means

wa_hillary_fighting_flag_new_hampshire

This years presidential election is a nice soap opera - it has action, drama and even some tears. Apart from America’s arcane procedures this still is a democracy at work - compared to recent elections in Kenya or Russia.

But it also shows the flaws of the popular vote: you have to say what people want to hear. These days Obama created the buzzword ‘change’ - so now all candidates babble about change. And all the talk is without substance, because foggy visions allow everyone to project their own idea of ‘change’ onto the candidate.

Is Hillary an agent of change? Actually she is - and she also know from experience how hard it is to change the system. Compared to Obama she has fought many harsh battles against companies, the establishment and the political system.

Compared to the 90’s she is now deeply wired into the political system - and now she has influence, knows how to pull the right strings and endure the agony of making change.

I very much doubt that Obama has these connections and know how to play the system. Because playing the system is important. Look at Dick Cheney or Carl Rove - they are masters in that profession. They have been playing the system for their masters and political goals so perfectly.

What America needs is someone who can dig deep, who is well connected and WANTS to change the system this time for the people instead of companies and the military industrial complex.

If you look back at inexperienced NEW political leaders - they all waste at least one or two years before they get a hold on power and understand the game. And often they fail to change anything in that time, because if Obama would loose that amount of time American voters would be frustrated and send many Republicans to the House and Senate - which in turn will block any change.

Thats the mess, specially in the US… To many folks who don`t understand great good visions for the future and no one with this visions and enough money or appropriately support!
Lobbyists who are horny for power and money, who serves and use the stupid folk mass.
I don`t know, how there take place a real change!

She may know what change means, but we are sick and tired of Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton.

It is becoming like a dynasty.

My hope is for Edwards to be our nominee, although I think the big money corporations won’t allow it.

@Lu: Most American politicians are now from established families - it’s like royalty in good old Europe. Most Senators and Congress People are serial killers - voted into the job again and again … it’s almost like the good old Soviet Politburo.

Edwards will fail (again) …
