clinton. this board certainly is not a fan, and i was conditioned, like many because i had no interest in delving into it. i did not have to. i supported obama the last 8 yrs.

i am far from being a fan of bill. i really do not like the man. i can see where he excels, but as a whole, nope.

when clinton spoke while married to the president for eight years, her voice HAD to reflect her husbands, just as bush shut up about pro choice and michelle does with obama.

when clinton worked for obama her voice supported her bosses.

those are realities. so i am excited to see where she is, with her own voice. i think it might be different.

i need to educate myself, and i need to listen. then i can better know where i sit.

and still. i am comfortable with what i have seen, learned, and heard, about those issues i put in my OP.
