I want an effective leader that can get things done, and not waste a moment their time trying to stick it to anyone. There are too many incredibly important issues that need to full attention of the next administration and by that, I don't necessarily mean health care, although I would like to see progress made in that area.
But more important to me is someone who can regain some international respect, which I think Hillary or Obama can, and try to find solutions to the messes abroad and at home. We are coming upon a recession and our military is breaking. Those are two of my biggest concerns, and if health care has to take a backburner to those issues, I will accept that for the time being. And honestly, I think either candidate is going to show up at the Oval Office with so much on their plate that neither are going to be able to give social programs the attention they are professing right now. I just don't see it happening. There is so much to fix right now and prioritization is going to be the key. At least, that's how I see it. And if any democrat were to allow themself to get sidelined with some petty tit-for-tat bullshyt, they are going to raise my ire considerably.

I agree. That's why I can't support Hillary. We need a president who can work with both parties to get America back on track. I just can't see Hillary being that person. The right hate her too much.
