14. I wish she would reconsider
As a person that misses the Clinton years of peace and prosperity (too young to vote in 92 or 96) right now, I don't know if people are ready for another presidential dynasty. I agree the country may or may not be ready for a female president, but I don't know if Hillary is the answer.

You have many AA that would welcome her in the WH, mainly because of Bill, but their political grandstanding during Mrs. King's funeral, Bill's relationship with Pappy Bush, and some comments he made on BET's Saving Our Selves Katrina telethon (about rebuilding NOLA) bothers some people.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad Bill got a rousing ovation (better him than Blinky), but the fact was that he was like telling them to "pick Hillary and you'll see more of me." What's also scary is that Tom Joyner (urban radio talk show host and Clinton man) is also jumping on the pimp Hillary for President bandwagon (though he hasn't said anything of late).

I will vote for her if she gets the nomination, but I wish she would reconsider and think about what she, Bill, and Chelsea may have to go through again.


My two cents.
