No longer for a Clinton

As soon as my exporting is over, I will place the long awaited article about the food crisis.

But for now I wanted to talk about Hillary Clinton. First of all I supported her since the beginning, is not just that I don’t like Obama, it is that Clinton seem tough enough to take America back on track. But with the tax break proposal – following McCain on it – I must say that she will be the wrong person for the job.
How stupid is to propose easing a tax that will create little relieve to people while taking billions out of the government. No matter how you want to finance it, the problem with the US is that it is consuming too much gas, sending billions of dollars to countries like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.

And opposing Nafta, that is the end of my support, at first I just thought she was trying to be nice and get votes from states that had lost hundreds of thousands of jobs, but now that her economic proposals are simple wrong, I must say that she is in to take the country on the wrong direction.

As she drags the election to a bitter end, Obama seems like the lesser of evil, while he deserves to win against an “I don’t know much of economy” type of candidate, the country need a tough hand like Clinton´s. Sad enough she made all the wrong choices and I must say, she will do on her first term what is needed so she win a second one.

It is a tough choice to make, but looking at what all the candidates are doing, and how the economy is barely hanging, Obama has turned to be my choice for President.
Please read an excellent article on Foreign Policy – the last issue – title “When China met Africa”, and picture how that racing power is embracing investments around the world, while the US is being bought by Europeans and big banks are getting money from Abu Dhabi. The excess money in the world is enough to purchase big chunks on American iconic companies. But Clinton is pushing for tax breaks on the summer and is opposing Nafta.

Maybe her selfish and egocentric behavior was more powerful that her toughness and decisive character, too bad that she didn’t see the big picture, she could had been a great President. We will see what Obama can do for the country.
