Saw this on yahoo and thought I post and comment on it. Count me among the 1/3 who think that Clinton would have been a better President. It is not just that Obama is inept, and he most certainly is a clueless inept person, it is also that Hillary has proven to be truly capable. In fact, I am deeply sorry that I did not vote for Hillary. I was wrong. In my judgment she is the most capable Secretary of State in modern era. I do not necessary agree with all her positions but in terms of organization, activity, and effectiveness she certainly has shamed all others. She may have been a poor campaigner but what a capable woman she has proven to be in executive capacity.
Of course, I voted for Ron Paul in primaries, along with about 5 other people in my voting station, of course he never had a chance and if I knew what I know now, I would have pushed for Hillary. But you have to give credit where credit is due and admit mistakes.
Hillary Clinton most popular national political figure: new poll
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/envoy/hillary-clinton-most-popular-national-political-figure-poll-164742160.html
One third of Americans believe Hillary Clinton would have been a better president than Barack Obama, and two-thirds view her favorably, according to a new Bloomberg News poll."The most popular national political figure in America today is one who was rejected by her own party three years ago: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton," Bloomberg News' John McCormick wrote on the poll's findings, which were released Friday.
While 34 percent of those polled believe "things would be better under a Clinton administration," McCormick wrote, "almost half--47 percent--say things would be about the same, and 13 percent say worse."
By contrast, "35 percent of those polled believe the country would be worse off if John McCain had been elected president," Holly Bailey reported at The Ticket.
"Clinton remains the most popular political figure on the national scene, with 64 percent of those polled saying they have a 'favorable' view of the Secretary of State, Bailey wrote.
"Obama's favorable rating is at 50 percent—even though 49 percent of those polled disapprove of the job he's doing as president. A majority of Democrats say Obama is their best candidate in 2012, though just under a third—30 percent—say they'd prefer to have someone else on the ticket."
