(Inhale!) The most popular politician in the nation today is (Exhale slowly) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to a recent Bloomberg National Poll.
“Nearly two-thirds of Americans hold a favorable view of her and one-third are suffering a form of buyer’s remorse, saying the U.S. would be better off now if she had become president in 2008 instead of Barack Obama.”The Tea Party figures are perhaps the most surprising:
“A plurality of Tea Party supporters -- 44 percent -- say the U.S. would be better off with Hillary Clinton as president, even though 59 percent of those respondents have an unfavorable impression of her.
“’She’s a more stable person who gets results,’ said Joseph Cherney, 67, a retired Republican automotive purchasing worker from Mineral Ridge, Ohio. ‘The president we have now isn’t much of a president because he really doesn’t do anything. He’s pompous and arrogant.’”
Comments
Some of it may be Obamas fault and poor relations with other Obama appointees, but still she is no distinguished statesman yet.
In fact her only experience was as First Lady, author of HillaryCare, and one term as NYS senator. This isn't much different from Obama. They both benefited from fawning press coverage.
My God, can't we demand that our candidates have some real experience? We did in the Past!
