It is not fair to say that Hillary is competent. She is not. Not one of her "brilliant" policies can bring back a single human life lost because of her incompetent vote to authorize a preemptive war in Iraq. It was not a matter of her not being able to foretell the future (as she protests), it was a matter of her inability to understand the urgency of the present, and to place facts above political ambition. Now, none of the policies she has so skillfully put together can be realized, because the money needed was spent on the war. A war that was started, in part, because she lacked the character to speak out against it during a politically sensitive time. We can rely on Obama's judgement to make the serious life and death decisions that the commander and chief of out nation must face each day. He is the one who is competent. That is the change our country needs.
