Yes, we can.

Frankly, her political involvement while her husband was in office pissed me off. SHE wasn't the one the public elected. In fact, during his candidacy, they tried to downplay er, uh, "soften" her role/image to make her seem less hardline politician and more wifey, then her husband swears in and all of a sudden, she's Hillary RODHAM Clinton and she's championing her own causes. And I'm not talking about things like Ladybird Johnson's flowers on the sides of the highways, but actual major legislative changes to health care. My position on this is the public didn't elect her, she had no right to suddenly act as if we did. You aren't elected just because your spouse is, ESPECIALLY if you purposely downplayed your role during the campaign. That smacks of dishonesty, and there's enough of that sh!t in the White House right now. (Sorry NA, honest feelings here)

As far as Obama... what is he offering us, really? Leadership. As Cheney proves daily, one of the most important aspects of presidency is the president's ability to form and effectively lead a TEAM. Bush has failed miserably at this, and we're pretty sure it's really Vice President Palpatine that's running the show. If Obama can move and inspire the large numbers of people he has in this campaign - even taking conservatives like myself and CP and getting us on his side without actually veering from his liberal agenda, there is somethig to be said for his leadership skills there. That's what we need most right now... Leadership.

Tammy Wynette or the Lyle Lovett version from the end of "The Crying Game." You remember "The Crying Game." It's where . . .
