Hillary's YouTube moment
The Web-savvy Americans - and melting snowman - who posed questions in Monday night's YouTube/CNN Democratic debate illuminated two important points.

Point One: Hillary Clinton has a more sophisticated and tougher perspective than Barack Obama does when it comes to the exercise of presidential power on the global stage. Obama was downright naive in promising that in his first year in office he would meet personally with antagonists like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il and Hugo Chavez. And Clinton was spot on in ruling out talks unless they had a goal, saying, "I don't want to be used for propaganda purposes."

3. Her YouTube moment
was a jacket tailored to the "droop" and a sagging left eye lid. Big deal.

4. Obama is a babe in the woods right now.
He'll learn as the process continues.

5. Neither would be a President with the needs
of the People as a primary concern. Dennis Kucinich will that kind of fighter for regular folks and our Mother Earth. We are coming to take back the Democratic Party. All he needs is a few more representatives to sign on to his House Res. 333 and

IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS BEGIN against deadeye dick

I'm sure you hall have been calling/emailing your Rep., insisting he sign on to defend our Constituition, right?

Then, with Dr. Evil behind bars, who then will trumpet these 2 plastic suits(pantsuit)as our pre-ordained "frontrunners" and continue to claim Dennis has no chance to win.

7. let me see if i get this straight
Its naive for a president to want to meet 'hostile' leaders within a year of assuming power?

Obama never said he would meet with them on the drop of a dime, nor did he say he would meet them without having prepared first.(Thats something Hillary claimed and unless Obama told her he would meet with no preparation then she was blowing hot air on that statement aswell)

What i personally got from it was that he would be willing to meet with them within a year of assuming power, which quite honestly is a fairly sensible thing. His stance to me would make the US seem that it is confident enough to meet with hostile powers to work something out, while also showing humility in that it knows it needs to talk to others instead of trying to use the current approach that Clinton seems supportive off(aka you want to talk to us, do this...now do this....and this, WHAT you won't do that..well no proper meeting with our administation then since your not serious)
