USweekly - The Economy President - During Bill Clinton’s eight years as President he turned a 135 Billion Dollar Bush Sr. deficit into a 526 Billion Dollar Surplus. Under Clintonomics the US Dollar rose over 20 percent. President Clinton reduced the National Debt and presided over a 240 percent rise in the US Stock Market. Clinton's strong fiscal discipline encouraged foreigners to invest in the US and the US prospered. After seven years of Bush's economic policy's we're broke. We no longer deal with foreigners from a position of strength. Instead of attracting investors we attract sharks. This is a truly slippery slope, and our biggest overall problem by far. Without fiscal security America will not survive. If this isn't righted properly, and righted soon, nothing else will matter. We need Hillary Clinton to balance the books. She's the only candidate that's promised to do that. She's the only candidate that knows how.

The Closer
When it comes to closing the sale Barack Obama has proven incapable of carrying the states necessary to win the Presidency. Big states repeatedly say "No Sale" to Obama. A candidate that cannot win the big ststes cannot win the general election. Without a closer in the general we're in for President McBush. Superdelegates are charged with ensuring a Democrat closes the sale. Hopefully most Superdelegates understand that charge and set the party on a winning course with The Closer.

Back to the Future
Of course, the presidential election brings to mind memories of the first Clinton Presidency. emories of an administration that kept us safe by fighting smart. Much to the chagrin of death and destruction mongers the world over, Bill Clinton didn't allow Osama, or anyone else, to terrorize us. Successful attacks on us were handled so swiftly and intelligently, we didn't know we were at war. 'We the People' were not terrorized, and in a war against terror, that's actually winning the war.

The Clinton White House governed and guided America smoothly out of the recession George One left us in. We enjoyed a healthy economy, equal justice, and a functional Federal Government. We were shielded and protected at home and abroad. America and American's had money in the bank, Social Security was secure, and the U.S. was well respected in the world. It was all very nice. The eight years of growth, prosperity and peace we enjoyed during the 90's were not only because a Democrat was in the White House, it was because a Clinton was in the White House.

Bringing It Up
The media is telling us that the Clinton's "brought up" the elephant in the room, the fact that Barack Obama is black. They want us to believe the Clinton's brought race to this election. Wait a minute. That's not true. Obama threw race in the ring last year. He played his race for points at the South Carolina Oprah Rally. Race was the headliner. In S.C. Obama called the crowd to arms shouting "they shot us with hoses" and "they set dogs on us." Well, who do you think "they" are? Putting race in this race is Obama's doing. He's been playing the race card since day one, he's just not playing it in full view of the white man.

One Heartbeat Away
A year ago, when there were still 20 Democratic Candidates, we proposed a Clinton/Obama Ticket. Over the last year we've learned much about Barack. We no longer support the idea of Barack Obama being anywhere near the Presidency. To our delight Obama said emphatically that he is not interested in being VP. Hopefully he's telling the truth.

Dynamic Duo
During the Myrtle Beach Debate Barack Obama complained to Hillary Clinton about Bill Clinton campaigning on her behalf. Bill's been busting Barack on word and deed inconsistencies in his record. Obama whined, (seriously - he whined), that he didn't know which Clinton he was running against, that Bill being the former President gives Hillary an advantage. He's right. It does give her an advantage - it gives us all an advantage - an advantage never before enjoyed in America. The unprecedented opportunity of having two Great Presidents in the White House at once. How fortuitous. We've been handed exactly what we need to right the nation. President Hillary Clinton with President Bill Clinton by her side can and will fix the mess George made. As for Bill Clinton digging into the truth about Barack Obama's record, thank you Mr. President. We need to know everything available about each candidate's record, whether Barack Obama likes it or not.

He's Right!
Stumping on the trail Senator Barack Obama said, "Good Intentions are not enough to write good legislation and have good government, you need experience". We agree completely.

Back in Black
During the past seven years Black Household Incomes have decreased an average of $2400. During the Clinton Presidency Black Household Incomes increased an average of $7600. The Clinton Presidency accomplished real prosperity for America at every level of the economic ladder. America and American's will be back in the black with the Clinton's in the White House again.

A YEAR AGO WE PROPOSED A CLINTON/OBAMA TICKET. NO MORE.
WE ARE NOW FIRMLY AGAINST OBAMA.
IF OBAMA IS ON THE TICKET WE WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN.

We firmly support Senator Hillary Clinton for 44th President of the United States. As citizens we've known and admired Hillary Clinton for almost 20 years. That said, if we found that Hillary Clinton's pastor of 20 years screamed hate and racism and anti-American rhetoric from the pulpit we would drop her like a hot rock.

Be Seated
Florida and Michigan held Certified Election Primarys. In Florida both Clinton and Obama were on the ballot and although both candidates pledged not to campaign in either state, Obama broke his pledge by running ads in Florida leading up to the Primary. In the case of Michigan, Obama choose to completely deny voters the opportunity to vote for him. Removing his name from the ballot was exceedingly bad judgement, but he made that bed, no one forced him. When Hillary won Michigan and Florida Obama dismissed both elections as no more than Beauty Contests. Whereas Hillary treated voters in both states with respect, Obama did not. In Michigan he "took his ball and went home" and in Florida he broke the rules. The only reason to hold a re-election is fraud. There was no fraud in either primary. Seat the delegates.

Madam President
Hillary Clinton will protect and defend every sector of America, at home and abroad, with more intelligence and determination than anyone we've seen since her husband. She gets flack from some for not being "likeable", but frankly, we care more about competence than cuddliness. She raised an exemplary child, which is a major indicator of her ability to orchestrate and complete long term projects successfully. She's been a powerhouse Senator for NY who moves and shakes, never resting on her laurels, and she was half of the Clinton Presidency, during which we enjoyed one of the most prosperous periods in US history. Listen to her when she speaks. She speaks of plans and accomplishments, things she has done and things she will do, not in dreams and wishes. America will get back in the black and be on the right track with the Clinton's in White House again. Hillary Clinton will be a Great President. With Bill Clinton by her side we'll have two Great Presidents in the White House at once; a fantastic opportunity we've never had before, and probably what it will take to fix the mess George made.

A Great President
This election is too important to be decided by race, sex or religion. We elected Bush twice on rhetoric that had nothing to do with his ability to run America. This time around we must be especially diligent. Electing a Good President is not good enough. We must elect a Great President.

The next President of the United States must be experienced, smart and honest with us. Not only must He or She run the country, they must repair the damage done to America both at home and abroad. He or She must have the fiscal experience to address our failing economy and be adept at foreign policy. America must reestablish world opinion, cooperation and trust. It's a big job. We won't know how big it truly is until the GOP is out and we can get a good look at what they've done.

We must elect the person that will do the best job on all fronts from day one. This is not the time to elect a learn-on-the-job President, nor one that can't make a decision without a consultant by their side. This is not a normal election. The Country is a mess. Experience and track record are everything in 2008. Use your best judgment now. It's vital to our future. We must have a Great President this time out. Good is not good enough. Hillary Clinton will be a Great President.

A Glass Booth Debate
At the Austin Debate Hillary was confidant and composed. She came prepared to discuss solutions for America. Unable to compete, Barack was not quite so comfortable. spouting Obamaisms and parroting her ideas. What he actually said vacillated between not much and nothing. Since he won't answer questions and can't seem to keep her words out of his mouth, we suggest a glass booth debate. Hillary in one sound proof booth and Barack in another. Have them answer new, never debated questions with specifics, and without hearing each other's answers.

Senator Obama will have to converse about issues he does not fully understand, issues which the President of the United States should be able to discuss easily. He will orate with empty platitudes and folksy phrases, all the while praying for the debate to end. Senator Clinton will easily explain realistic solutions that take all sides of the issue into account. She will not orate in sound bites and bumper stickers. She will speak in complete plans and full solutions. A glass booth debate will show us exactly what will happen in the Oval Office on day one in both the Obama White House and the Clinton White House.

Beauty Contest
What does being a Florida Democrat mean in 2008? According to Barack Obama it means holding a Beauty Contest. How insulting. FYI Senator: It's nothing at all like a Beauty Contest to Floridian's. The DNC's action of stripping Florida and Michigan of delegates is diametrically opposed to the first purpose of the party. Inclusion of every Democrat should be Job One at the DNC, but obviously it's not. Obama's position on this action makes it clear he's more concerned with the wishes of the party than the rights of the people.

The re-instatement of the delegates stripped will help Hillary in the race, however, how the delegates fall does not alter our opinion. Consider the bigger picture. The DNC action is wrong at the core level. Every vote deserves to be counted at every stage of the election. Anyone one who says
