Hope Stirs the Heart-strings, But America Needs Experience

I know all about Hope. Heck I even have a Signs Of Hope gift shop web site. (Don't Order anything cause the shopping cart is broke and I just want to make a point.)

I believe in hope as I am more optimistic than fatalistic. I've been hoping most of my life for one thing or another to change or get better.

I can't tell you how many times a sweet talking man seduced me by hope for love, always thinking, "This guy is the one."

Dreamers make good lovers but aren't so great at producing real results.

I love Obama. He is my second choice. But we need a seasoned worker on Day One to get the mess George Bushco has made in the world and our government.

As much as I, too, am inspired by Barak's words of hope and change, I also see too much cocky talk and walk. And I fear that we will soon tire of hearing a new president stand at the podium often spouting hope and change and nothing really getting done or fixed.

Edwards might even get more done than Obama, and I am not crazy about having another rich white man in the White House. Obama would make a great and inspiring Ambassador for the World; Edwards would be a great Attorney General, but Hillary is the answer this time around for President.

Please consider the reality of what is needed more than what is wanted in the United States right now.

I watched Hillary do a mostly Questions and Answers at Merrimack Valley High School in Penacook, NH yesterday on CSPAN. I was impressed and she too, stirred my hope strings.
