Obama-Clinton Debate

I watched the Obama Clinton debate on CNN today. I think the choice is very clear. Do you want another 8 years of Bill Clinton Presidency or not. Hillary is seeking nomination based on Bill Clinton's records not here own. The support Hillary Clinton enjoys stems from Bill Clintons name recognition and records. Looks like Hillary would be depended on her husband to run the white house. Hillary might be wearing the mask of the president, but it would be Bill Clinton who would be pulling the string from behind. I think we should select someone who can stand by their own and not in the shadow of her husband as the president of the greatest country in the world. Any shadow of doubt that the president of the United states of America would be a surrogate of a previous president would be worth serious thought about our choice for the next person in the white house.

Hillary had no answers about her vote to authorize Bush to go to war and Wolf Blitzer's question about her naïve attitude that struck her nerve. Obama's answers about being right on the first day as the president was a real counter punch to the argument that Hillary was making that she would be ready on day one of her presidency.

I have problem with Hillary's Universal health care. I have lived in Canada and have good knowledge about health care system of Canada. Is Hillary planning to bring the long waiting line so familiar in Canada to the United States? Medications that are available for years in the United States are still not available in Canada. For example Avastin a cancer drug that was approved in US in February 2004 is not yet available in Canada as of February of 2007. Do we really need this backward travel?
