"Ideologically, Hillary and Obama aren't much different. They both want to reform healthcare. They both plan to withdraw troops from Iraq in their first term. They both want to overhaul education. Ultimately, this race comes down to credibility, and maybe I'm being too hard on my friends because I have my own complex reasonings for wanting Obama to be our next president.
Because:
As Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone so eloquently put it, next to Obama, Hillary sometimes comes off like an angry drag queen.
She turned on the waterworks after (once again) being overshadowed by the coolest kid in school.
She gave Bush the green light to go to war with Iraq.
She keeps lying about what her vote meant.
I was nauseated watching her flip-flop on her immigration stance during MSNBC's Philadelphia debate.
She was the first lady.
She can't beat a republican."
Okay, so that part's a little negative, but here's the stuff I really felt:
"When he talks, I believe.
When she talks, I feel like she's trying to sell me a timeshare."
And also:
"He has an authenticity that inspires me.
He's willing to talk to our enemies.
He was against the war when such thinking was considered treason.
He was a community organizer, a civil rights attorney and a state legislator.
He is the audacity of hope and real change.
He reminds me that all things are possible."
