U.S. leadership 'still wanted,' time to restore faith

In order to lead, neither of these two suggests as they should, that the leader must recognize that the rest of the World is not about to have business as usual -a United States of America whose people have become fat and greedy and consume and waste more of the World's resources than everybody else combined. A leader needs to help shape the psyche of this country to accept the fact that the actions of the Bush administration has done a fantastic job of steering this nation rapidly toward the inevitable fate that we may not be the most powerful country much longer. The next leader is going to have seriously do something to blur the divisions between people here. Before standing in the rest of the World can be improved the people in this country are going to have to once again trust the government. That's why the old politics of Clinton need to be rejected. She's talking about stopping Iran's nonproliferation, but what does she say she will do about our own weapons proliferation and that of Russia and China?

Yes Hillary, please usher in the Feminist Matriarchy and watch as free men sit back, relax, and watch the slow descent that all matriarchies in history have taken. The Men Have Left The Building. You Are On Your Own. Men Opt Out, Go Your Own Way.

As we struggle to know our domestic enemies. No, matter your political party affiliation, and setting aside your thoughts on issues. We all need to remember what it is to be an American Citizen. We need to make sure our elected representatives obey their Oath of Office and keep their Oath of Allegiance. See http://tinyurl.com/2znnvl Know whom you are voting for.

To reclaim our proper place in the world, the United States must be stronger, and our policies must be smarter,’’ she writes. “The next president will have a moment of opportunity to restore America's global standing and convince the world that America can lead once again… We should aim to lead our friends and allies in building a world of security and opportunity…a world that will be safer, more prosperous, and more just."

Hard to argue with that thinking. Never the less I'm sure the Hillary haters will find a way.

Patriarchies work out better?

Yeah, right.

HRC says "American leadership is wanting, but it is still wanted"..Sorry, I must have missed it: What other country still wants American leadership? How sad.
McCain says "...it is this generation's turn to restore and replenish the world's faith in our nation and our principles" Not so fast, I think we need to first restore and replenish our own faith in ourselves.
This golden goose is not so golden anymore, and she is singing badly. We need to heal her from the corruption, debt, ego, war-on-a- lie, class-economy divisions, outsourcing, erosion of the constitution, the and well planned incompetence of the Bush/Cheney administration first. Lets see if she has any golden eggs left for American infastructure, rebuilding each states' National Guard, actually paying down the .650 trillion and counting Bush/Cheney invasion/war supplementals that have been put on my daughters' credit cards, and digging our way out of the shackling trade debt. Just like anything or anyone else, it is a nation's natural ebb and flow of giving and replenishing herself that maintains health. Bush/Cheney and congress- thats HRC and McCain- have been poor stewards of America. I have not heard anything that says either HRC or McCain would be better on the domestic side. A child or geriatric hand out does not count.
HRC and McCain both want to expand and increase the military. I don't want either in office because both sound like psudo cowboys, and neither speak much of a logical domestic agenda. Have either of these candidates ever said, "it just does not make sense to lower the taxes on the wealthiest 1-3% while the nation is at invasion/war?"

As could be expected, the Clinton "plan" on Iraq is a joke--a bunch of feel-good goals, with the promise (when elected) to demand that somebody else draw up a plan within 60 days.

Yes, her "plan" is to wait 17 months, then order someone else to draw up a "plan".

This is beyond parody.

Clinton writes: "If Iran is in fact willing to end its nuclear weapons program, renounce sponsorship of terrorism, support Middle East peace, and play a constructive role in Iraq, the United States should be prepared to offer Iran a carefully calibrated package of incentives."

What in the world leads Clinton to think Iran is willing to meet ONE of those four conditions, let alone all FOUR?

This is beyond parody.

Bruce you are a parody. According to you the only solution is to glass over Iran, North korea etc.

Endless war. No negotiating. Maybe the 7% solution isn't working for you. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid propaganda minister.

As long as Hillary keeps making things up she'll be fine. She is endorsed by the main stream media so she can spin and weave her way to a coronation. Her pandering is extemporaneous. The brilliance of her campaign is that nothing really has to be thought out. Her strength lies in her ability to avoid substance without showing a necessity to have it. She is experienced.

"Alberto G." doesn't even try to defend Hillary Clinton's silly non-plan "plan". Because nobody can.

Yet another Hillary howler from above: "We must withdraw from Iraq in a way that ... replaces military force with a new diplomatic initiative to engage countries around the world in securing Iraq's future."

All the Obama-esque weasel words are there: "new diplomatic initiative" (in other words, more useless talkie-talk) to "engage countries around the world" (countries that for the past decade, including the Bill Clinton years, have done nothing concrete about Iraq) "in securing Iraq's future." (ignoring the fact that it is Iraq's future as a haven for terrorists, not as a peaceful state, that many of these countries want to secure).

A rain dance has more chance of bringing rain than this vapid non-plan has of bringing peace.
