&lt;p&gt;Experience is not a factor of being able to come up with good ideas. &amp;nbsp;It isn't measured by the capability of having a concept but not pushing, forcing or seeing it through. &amp;nbsp;Just like a good or poor real estate agent, either she can get the deal closed or, the lack of experience will keep the &amp;quot;for sale&amp;quot; sign on the old house forever. &amp;nbsp;Its time that Hillary allow someone that has the ability to be effective truly get that bill on the floor and push it straight to close. &amp;nbsp;Obviously, she doesn't have the experience to get closure of issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I may be wrong but last I remember, this demonstrates a LACK of experience! &amp;nbsp;Lets face it universal health care have been talked about by Hillary since she was first lady with Bill in over 8+ years ago. &amp;nbsp;That is a long time to drag a bill accross the coals. &amp;nbsp;is she really working in the best interest of the american public? &amp;nbsp;Is her concerns for us and universal health care the motivation behind her determination? &amp;nbsp;If so, there truly isn't much there! &amp;nbsp;I don't see the &amp;quot;experience.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;I definately do see the ability. &amp;nbsp;And she lost me when she lacked the ability to provide closure...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NH, a state that struggles with unemployment, lack of health insurance and many other economical factors, how do you see Hillary as being the answer? &amp;nbsp;You don't have Universal health care NOW! &amp;nbsp;Why? &amp;nbsp;Not because it is a new idea but, becasue Senator Hillary could NOT effectively get this bill to the floor and implemented! &amp;nbsp;How did or does this help us? &amp;nbsp;If this is her track record, I DO prefer to elect another candidate (inexperienced or otherwise) to give it a go. &amp;nbsp;At least it is another TRUE chance of getting this done! &amp;nbsp;Hillary has already proven that she losses her steam or, she isn't TRULY interested enough to push for the people. &amp;nbsp;How? &amp;nbsp;Simple, Universal Health was HER baby and it never amounted to anything from her... &amp;nbsp;Now let someone else that KNOWS something different give it a try....&lt;/p&gt;

Who wants them in White House and why? There is nothing more sleazy than Clinton's campaign's propaganda and a former president of the US going public with his personal attacks against his WIFE opponent! Crocodile tears from Hillary that have been vehiculated through the press as &amp;quot;sincere and first of the kind&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Iron my shirts&amp;quot; masquerade that gave Hillary one more chance to dwell on her sexist propaganda, whispering into some old lady that &amp;quot;Obama is a Muslim that is why he didn't salute the flag&amp;quot; and now another emotional moment in the family (Mr. Clinton?? - I didn't have sex with that woman) - when people would wake up?? This is a clan (Clinton) similar with Bush; why we want them?? I am not saying that Obama is the perfect solution but under no circumstances I would like another Clinton in White House. &lt;/p&gt;

That's exactly what's put this country is in the mess it's in. What's wrong with my American counterparts ? Have they forgotten what exactly the Clintons are ? I hope this country wakes up and doesn't hand us another four or eight years of the some garbage. I really don't think this country can stand anymore of the Bushes and Clintons back room deals like NAFTA, sending our jobs overseas because it lines their pockets and not ours. And you can't tell me that George Bush and Dick Cheney don't have a thing to do with these gas prices. Vote them back in for another four or eight years folks, if you want to see this country go down the drain. WAKE UP AMERICA !&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are going to post a comment or comments, please use the correct language. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Its [It's] time that Hillary allow someone that [who] . . . &amp;nbsp; How can anyone give you any credit for what you say if you can't speak properly????? &amp;nbsp;Obama won Iowa because the stupidity level in Iowa is so low. &amp;nbsp;In Council Bluffs alone you see one poverty-stricken family after another. &amp;nbsp;Good sense doesn't come from the poverty-stricken families. &amp;nbsp;In addition, it should be noted that there are democrats in Iowa who literally pick people up at their homes and take them to the polls to vote for a particular candidate. &amp;nbsp;The people who are being taken to the polls are uneducated, old people who can be talked into anything when given the opportunity to talk to someone other than their tv sets, let alone taken somewhere by these people. &amp;nbsp;New Hampshire has shown exactly what kind of people live in Iowa - uneducated and easily talked into anything. &amp;nbsp;Obama will not be the next President of the United States. &amp;nbsp;You also show your ignorance when you speak as your emotions are driving your writing - and it shows. &amp;nbsp;In conclusion, you are also a man who is afraid of letting a woman become something bigger and better than you - but that wouldn't be too difficult to accomplish, now would it?&lt;/p&gt;
