The Colvin Report: Bill Clinton at Penn State

After hearing the former President I have solidified my belief that Hillary would make a good President. Of course I want McCain to win, but HIllary really has done a lot for this country.

Some of Bill's main sticking points involved her grassroots efforts with disabled children to follow their health care, being the first to act in aiding Katrina victims when FEMA failed, and the great things she has done for womens rights all around the world.

She has been the first to see things, developed plans, and acted on numerous occasions but I cannot say the same things for Obama. Really, he hasn't done anything constructive for leading legislation in the US senate and his Chicago record only shows failed initiatives at extreme gun control.

Obama doesn't even give to Charity and to me that is important. He didn't give over 1% of his AGI until 2005 when he was a US senator and even then his controversial church was the main benefactor. If you are worried about helping those less fortunate that seems like an easy outlet. The Clinton's have always helped the people.

While I don't believe we should unconditionally pull out of Iraq, I have to share this analogy Clinton gave.

If your neighbors house burns down, anyone in here would let them stay for a week, a month, or maybe even 6 months but when it comes to 5 years, its not about the fire, its about being comfortable on the couch. To some extent I think that is right, the Iraqi military and government has become complacent and has not met our bench marks. They need to realize that they need to rebuild their own house.

As Clinton pointed out, the President is the most fortunate civil servant in the United States and they can't forget that... they can't forget the people.
