Competence and readiness to Lead
Tell me it isn't Joe, tell me it isn't so....why didn't you get this
endorsement?

I have been waiting for the nations political newspaper " The DesMoines Register" to Weigh in.

I agree with them.

I support Hillary Clinton as our next President of the United States.

Competence and Readiness to lead.
We just re elected a Mayor , Donald Williamson Mayor of Flint MI, who
has these qualities now we will elect the first
female,
former firstlady,
current United States Senator,
smartest woman on the planet,
and her highest quality as an attorney ,Hillary Clinton as President of the United States.

The Flint Journal, Flint MI USA, should follow their lead and just endorse today!

–begin--[Here is what they said.My comments cited [-trb]]

THE REGISTER'S EDITORIAL BOARD • December 15, 2007A deep, talented field in the Democratic caucus race offers both goodand difficult choices.[We are prepared to lead this country -trb]

No fewer than three candidates would, by their very identity, usherthe nation to the doorstep of history. Should the party offer thenation the chance to choose its first woman president? Or its firstblack president?

Or its first Latino president?[We just want competence.-trb]

Or should the party place its trust in two senators, Joe Biden orChris Dodd, who have served their nation with distinction for morethan 30 years each? Or should it heed John Edwards? clarion call torestore opportunity for all Americans?[Joe was my first pick. He's the toughest guy in D.C. This just willnot work for him. Make him chief of staff of the White House.-trb]

Beyond their personal appeal, the candidates have outlined ambitiouspolicy proposals on health care, education and rural policy. Yetthese proposals do little to help separate the field. Their plans aresimilar, reflecting a growing consensus in the party about how toapproach priority issues.The choice, then, comes down to preparedness:
Who is best prepared toconfront the enormous challenges the nation faces ? from ending theIraq war to shoring up Americans middle class to confronting globalclimate change?
[We are at a crossroads on a hundred front. She is prepared.-trb]


The job requires a president who not only understands the changesneeded to move the country forward but also possesses the disciplineand skill to navigate the reality of the resistant Washington powerstructure to get things done.

That candidate is New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.From working for children's rights as a young lawyer, to meeting withleaders around the world as first lady, to emerging as an effectivelegislator in her service as a senator, every stage of her life hasprepared her for the presidency.

That readiness to lead sets her apart from a constellation ofpossible stars in her party, particularly Barack Obama, who alsodemonstrates the potential to be a fine president.

When Obama speaksbefore a crowd, he can be more inspirational than Clinton. Yet, withhis relative inexperience, it's hard to feel as confident he couldaccomplish the daunting agenda that lies ahead.

[Obama will test the nation in his convention bid for vice president.I favor him there, if not he should get the United Nations.-trb]

Edwards was our pick for the 2004 nomination. But this is a differentrace, with different candidates. We too seldom saw the positive,optimistic campaign we found appealing in 2004. His harsh anti-corporate rhetoric would make it difficult to work with the businesscommunity to forge change.

[Edwards is our back up man.-trb]

Unfortunately, for many Americans, perceptions of Clinton, now 60,remain stuck in a 1990s time warp. She's regarded as the one whofumbled health-care reform as a key policy adviser to her husband,President Bill Clinton, or as a driving force in the bitter standoffbetween the "Clinton machine" and the "vast right-wing conspiracy."

Her record in the Senate belies those images. Today, she's widelypraised for working across the aisle with Sam Brownback, LindseyGraham and other Republicans.Determination to succeed and learning from her mistakes have beenhallmarks of Clinton's life.

She grew up in Park Ridge, Ill.,graduated from Wellesley College and earned a law degree from Yale.

As first lady in Arkansas, she was both strategist and idealist,borne out by her commitment to children and families. As the nation'sfirst lady, she in essence spent eight years as a diplomat, travelingto more than 80 countries and advocating for human rights.

In the Senate, she has earned a reputation as a workhorse who doesnot seek the limelight. She honed knowledge of defense on the SenateArmed Services Committee.

She has proactively served rural and urbanNew York and worked in the national interest, strengthening theChildren's Health Insurance Program.Clinton is tough. Tested by rough politics and personal trials, she'sdemonstrated strength, resolve and resilience.Can she inspire the nation? Clinton is still criticized in somequarters as being too guarded and calculating. (As president, whenshe makes a mistake, she should just say so.)

Indeed, Obama, her chief rival, inspired our imaginations. But it wasClinton who inspired our confidence. Each time we met, she impressedus with her knowledge and her competence.The times demand results.

We believe as president she will do whatshe's always done in her life: Throw herself into the job and workhard.

We believe Hillary Rodham Clinton can do great things for ourcountry.
