It has been very hard for me to pick which candidate I should vote for and support. First of all I am a Democrat and since we now have two candidates (Clinton and Obama) it is difficult to decide between them. I like them both, to be honest.
I am a woman and a part of me would like to see the first woman president. I liked Bill Clinton and what he did as president. So naturally I thought I would be a Clinton advocate, but I just had to give Obama a chance. I like the way he speaks and that during this whole race I have not heard as much criticism from him toward Clinton as I have seen and heard from her to him. Clinton is too aggressive in her tactics. She has lost a bit of my respect for constantly insulting Obama and although I understand that this is a race, Obama has always seemed more confident and less abusive. Confidence goes a long way in my book and so should it for everyone. Plus, he feels more like a real person.
Besides the fact that one is white and a woman and the other is black and a man, they both are senators, have families, are married, want universal health care, and to pull the troops out of Iraq. They are both Democrats. So, what is the main difference between these two? I went ahead and investigated their websites.
Immediately, Obama’s website www.barackobama.com is more pleasing to the eye than Clinton’s www.hillaryclinton.com. Now, I know it means nothing really. Wow his site looks better than hers, big whop her campaign may be more than looks. One thing I did like about his website compared to Clinton’s is that it is extremely simple to pinpoint an issue, where Obama stands on it, and what he plans to do about it. Clinton’s is slightly more challenging in that there are less bullets separating the points and mostly it’s this big thing you have to read with dry wording. All I am saying is that Obama’s website is more impressive and enjoyable and it’s inspiring. This is how they present themselves to the world, besides television. It should be something you want to look at in my opinion.
In any case, it’s not simply because of the websites or the big race that I have ultimately chosen Obama over Clinton; it’s also because of the tiny differences I have found in their solutions to issues. I can’t list them all, but one that impacted me was the fact that Obama plans to not only decrease the amount of emissions just as Clinton proclaims, but he will also try to engage other countries in an international forum for global warming. I think it is a great idea. To me, Obama seems to have more ideas than Clinton and explains them better. That, and the fact that I believe he can beat McCain is why we should elect Obama for president.
