Sometimes I vote Republican; sometimes I vote Democratic. It all depends on the issues at hand. This time, I felt the domestic threats (economy, health care, energy, etc.) are far greater than the foreign threats (Iraq/Afghanistan). So, I started out thinking that perhaps Hillary Clinton would be best for the the nation. (The girl does have a beautiful mind!)
But as time went on, I realized that Hillary also suffered from “the smartest person in the room syndrone”. Beautiful minds usually know they are smart, but fail to realize that they don’t know everything. They are right so often that they have a really hard time admitting error or accepting defeat. They end up fighting for the sake of their egos. The input of others is considered a waste of their time. And, they always over play their hands.
I had to ask myself if we could really solve this nation’s problems with an autocratic leadership style that comes with such an attitude. The answer is “NO”. We’d have “gridlock” of major proportions in the largest sandbox in the nation. (After all, Hillary has been working on healthcare since 1992, and still millions are lacking still.)
Then, I looked around and realized there was another “beautiful mind” who also had a “beautiful heart” and was willing to work with others toward real solutions — Barack Obama.
So, I began to wonder if these two beautiful minds could work together. I’m not sure.
What do you think?
