It's not "likeability" for me - it's "lie-ability." Hillary distorts the truth. Some call that "spinning;" I call it "lying."
And the whole experience and competence issue. What a scam. She didn't have the security clearance to answer the White House phone at 3:00 am. Where's the experience?

My apolgies for the double post .

I can't see having another president who does not value, or respect the voting rank and file electorate, and always plays the "poor me" card whether it be for votes of more money to run a campaign. In addition, I cannot stomach another "Swiftboating" style of campaign from anyone, and I think that the past few days have shown just who resembles the ghosts of Karl Rove, and the Republican wealthy dirty tricks people. If lying, bending the rules as they see fit while others must comply is the only way one achieves the most powerful office in the nation, then I think the rational people in this nation and around the world can figure out just who has the qualifications for the office of President of the United States. We need respect in the world, and not sleazy "business as usual" as we have endured the past seven years.

A person is judged by the company they keep (and that goes for your political team that surrounds you 24/7).

Sorry Clinton supporters: Character does count, and that's why I am voting for Barack Hussein Obama in my upcoming state"s Democratic primary.

That's why I am voting for Barack Hussein Obama.

And I like Hillary better, so I'm voting for her. Of course, the fact that she is more competent is the "primary" factor.

People keep talking about the 'likeability' factor in voting for a President. Surely we had too much of that with those who voted for Bush. Maybe we should find capability and competence to be worth more?

I've never expected to have tea with a president, so why should I care about what they'd be like as a guest - better someone who has knowledge, can get the job done because they know the people involved in voting in Congress, and with a competent cabinet regardless of their chuminess factor. So, I'm voting for Hilary.
