Response to Heart of America

In reading this blog on Senator Barrack Obama and why we should vote for him somewhat highlights why I think that Senator Hillary Clinton would and should be our next president. In my opinion, Senator Obama has some big promises, for which he does not have complete control over, for one, and secondly that cannot be accomplished within a reasonable amount of time. I agree we need change, but I do not believe Barrack Obama is it, in my mind, there is a lot to be said about experience.
I will not argue that the economy is a huge issue that needs to be dealt with immediately. With the new administration, however, a tax cut is not necessarily the answer, don’t get me wrong, it would help the American people sooner than later, but we have to be more strategic in executing a plan than trying to get small gains that seem to put us back into a economic slump. The American economy is very volatile right now; it is proven every time the federal government tries to keep us out of a recession by adjusting the percentage rates. This only helps the stock market for a day, but after oversea trading tries to analyze the activities from the days before we lose the gain we made and sometime more.
The author spoke of various other points from the Obama campaign, some that dealt with jobs and wages, and others that discussed the oil consumption of the country. I don’t feel that Obama can control whether a company hires in lost cost areas, which I might add, is a direct reaction to the economy of the country, but will have a great influence on raising minimum wage. The blog also touched on Obama stating we needed to use less oils in our cars and machines, etc. I have to argue that this statement is not reality. This statement makes it sound so easy, here is reality. Convince car makers to buy new equipment that does not use oil, and supports an automobile that does not use oil. These are all great ideas, but reality is that you have to have an economy that can support change.
Hillary Clinton has the experience and the relationships to get the job done. She has been the influence and brains behind the FMLA leave act, which has been an amazing addition to the employments laws of the country. I feel she was a vital contributor to the strong economy under her husband’s administration. Hillary has proven herself time and time again, while I feel Obama is full of hopeful suggestions.
