1. Clinton would be a good President...

...because she's pretty much the smartest person in any room she enters, because she has mountains of Executive-branch experience, solid Legislative branch experience, a lifetime of policy-making experience, and won't appoint any batshit-crazy wingnut psychopaths to any of the three looming vacant seats on SCOTUS...especially if we widen our margin in the Senate in November.

2. Obama would be a good President...

...because he is equally as intelligent as Senator Clinton, has the President-Clinton-esqe ability to frame serious, important and complex issues in straightforward (and often rhetorically melodic) terms, and very much seems to have (forgive me) Reagan's gift/talent/knack for hitting all the high notes of political theatricality at the most important moments...he can inspire people when he has his fastball, and inspiration is something this nation desperately needs and can do great things with.

...and before you scream, I despise Reagan...but the man could perform when the chips were down...and political theater/rhetorical thunder is an awesome tool in the hands of masterful performers.

Both need to pick the right people for the right positions, and very much need to immediately start working towards the '10 Senate midterms, because a 61-67 seat majority will cure a lot of headaches.
