I consider Obama lousy. So if she does just as poorly or worse than Obama, she'd be a bad president.
My older sister, who is a staunch conservative republican, thinks she should have been the 2012 elected president. She thought she would have done far better than Obama and Romney. 馃槓
Seems like even the religious GOP voters are getting real tired of the GOP's shit. 馃槓

Maybe you should be a politician, Digi for president!I'll vote for you over Hilary.
I'm quite sure you wouldn't. Beyond that, I'm unelectable as an atheist. I'd need to "find religion" before considering a run at any office with influence. Since I'm not technically excommunicated as a Catholic, and have some old friends that could be "references" of me coming back to the fold, it wouldn't be impossible. But it would smack of political posturing and likely sink me anyway.
I'd be an excellent speech writer, though.

You're too smart and informed to be a politician.
Which isn't a high flattery if you think about it 馃槙

Heh. Thanks. But nah, I'm convinced politicians have to be informed and intelligent on all sorts of things. It's just that sometimes they're allowed to remain ignorant because they won't lose points with their base. But a lot of it is boiling it down to lowest common denominators for media and the public. The actual intelligence required to be a successful politician is staggering.
I actually think I'd be a great politician, though. As a writer (and more generally, someone in communications), crafting messages to a specific audience and with specific goals in mind is at the forefront of everything I do. And that's a lot of what politics is. I tend to shy away from politics in my life, but it's because I don't have a meaningful platform from which to influence anything. If I did, I'd probably love it.
But yeah, speech writing. I lack the ego to stand in front of people and tell them what to think, but pushing others' agendas from behind a keyboard is literally what I've done for a living for much of my professional life, so it would be an easy transition. If anyone's seen The West Wing, I look at most of their roles and think "F*CK! I wouldn't want that, and/or couldn't do it." But I look at the Sam Seaborn role and think "Yeah, I could do that."
I was getting my car serviced the other day, and this clip was being dissected on Fox News while I waited in the lobby. So I rescind my earlier comments that it's easily understood in the context of her larger political views. Apparently people that do this for a living are just as guilty of this overreaction.
Funny thing is corporations and business are owned and run by people. Unless there is mice in the background running them.
For people to say its people that create jobs, then yes its people
Man 1 wants to start a business, so he goes and starts a business and files for a sole proprietorship. And then hires 5 people to help run the business. Now did he create jobs, yes. How? Through a business.
Man 2 in same situation wants to start a business, so he goes and files for a s-corp. Then he hires 200 people for work for him and help run the corporation. Now did he create jobs, yes. How? Through the corporation.
What Hilary said is typical spin for the misinformed and uneducated votes, like all the people at her pep rallies. Most people like the people running those business or corporations or the people working for them have jobs and are happy, they are not wasting their time with going to these retarded campaign events to listen to spin, when you can just turn it on in the news.
Did he create the jobs or did the bank that gave him a small business loan create the jobs? Did he create the jobs or did the customers that brought the demand for his goods and services create the jobs? Did he create the jobs or did the government that build the roads that he used to ship his goods, that educated the people that he could hire, create the jobs?
