Seriously, we need Hillary in charge
by mzzim

I'm worried! On CNN this evening, a knowledgable analyst said it's now a world economy and health care is too costly for American corporations. A guy at Starbucks says his employee health care cost is higher then his coffee supply cost.

Auto makers in MIchigan have their cars made in Canada because they have a their own health car and therefore it cost US auto companies $600. rather than $6000. for health care workers they would have to pay here because of union contracted company provided health care.

People, seriously, we need Hillary in charge. She has worked on health care since 1993. There were too many Republicans against her at the time. This CNN analyst said health care will be the thing to bankrupt this country. We need someone who can work with bipartisan, and corporations to get this health care mess resolved. Hillary has the most experience.

I like Obama but I think he will be overwhelmed. Oh he can unite..yes young voters. I think if Obama wins the Democratic nomination, McCain will win the presidency. I think if Hillary wins the nomination, she will be our president.

We need all the help we can get...why not get two for the price of one. It's time to put our petty differences aside, so what about Monica. It had nothing to do with how he ran the govenrment. He will NOT be vice president, but embassador. I'm hoping Obama is our vice president. Then we'll have three brilliant people working for us. This is not a game. Our country is in dire straits. We are going to need extraordinary leadership in the next four yeras. I'm serious, we need Hillary. She can build bridges too with other countries. We need to concentrate on working with China, Japan, India, Brazil and forget about the middle east, our economy depends on it. My advice: Watch CNN everyday, I like do and make a wise choice and pray.

Perhaps you can clear something up that has been bothering me about the possibility of another Clinton Presidency. If Hillary Clinton does become president is she going to do that thing again that they did back in the 90's where they use the Lincoln bedroom as a campaign fund raising device? Because I'm not comfortable with that, and if you are I'd like to know why.

With all due respect, you JUST learned about a global economy and outrageous health care costs for employers? Also, I don't understand why you think that if Obama wins the nomination, McCain will win. That makes absolutely no sense. Five polls have now been published (the most recent by Time Magazine) that demonstrate that Clinton can not defeat McCain. However, when asked to vote between McCain and Obama, Obama won. Further, to hope that Obama is her VP is probably a pipe dream. While it would definitely help her standing, it would hurt his, most political analysts say that is very unlikely. Lastly, you say that Hillary can "build bridges with other countries"? How is she going to do that when you refuses to meet with Heads of State that don't agree with her?

We need Hillary? Surely you jest! She tried to fix health care when her husband (oral guy) was President. That turned into a fiasco! What makes you think she will do any better as President? Most Americans are covered by health insurance. The system is not in crisis.The answer to any problems should be market based. Those who are not covered now should be able to get govt subsidised coverage. The working poor should be required to pay for 2/3 of the govt insurance premium. That is the answer to whatever problem there is.

Liberals like Hillary & Obama want the govt to solve all problems. This is not possible nor desirable. The govt should let the market take care of things as much as possible. The govt should only get involved when the free market falls short. And when it gets involved, it should work with the marke and not against it.
