Posted by tsegat01 in General Discussion: Presidency
Wed Aug 10th 2011, 11:29 AM
I am quite sure she would be a good president, but I can easily imagine at this point in her first term, people would be asking, "Would Obama have been a better president?"

There would people on the left accusing her of being in bed with Wall Street and big business. After all, she was accused of that when she was a candidate. No matter who we elect, we will compare the president to the candidate he or she was, and have moments of "buyer's remorse". Of course, I believe that is healthy and necessary in a democracy. The thought of blindly supporting a president is frightening.

So no matter who we elect, I think its normal to wonder about how the other candidates might have turned out. Its an indication that our brains are still working and that we haven't become politically apathetic.
