Why do people hate hillary clinton so much and go for Obama?

I really don't understand, why do people want to go for obama and not hillary and what is it that makes people hate hillary?

Hillary has more experience, she has a husband who has a ton of experience where as obama has no experience, but for some reason people like him so much. I don't get it.

    I don't hate her but she is part of the Washington establishment She is hated by the Republicans, some disillusioned Dems and by some independents for the following

    1) Hillary Clinton agreed along with the other Democratic candidates that stated that they would not campaign in MI & FL and their delegates would not be seated because the states knowingly violated party rules in moving up their primaries. She then had surrogates campaign for her in the states, kept her name on the ballots and now wants to renege on the agreement so she can claim the delegates as her own. Not trustworthy and is reminiscent of our present Commander in Chief who would talk out of both sides of his mouth

    2) the health care debacle of the 1990's

    3) Can't even manage her own campaign. She had raised over $100 million by Dec 2007, $70 million for the primaries yet she ran out of money by Jan 3rd. Now if she cannot manage or get competent people around her to manage a budget which is 10,000 times smaller than the Federal one, how can we in good conscience hire her to oversee our budget!!

    4) Her arrogance. A voter in North Dakota highlighted that yesterday in a response to a question on CNN's " The Cafferty File"

    Here is the note:

    "Alice in North Dakota, "Yes. Coming into Super Tuesday I was impressed that Barack cares about North Dakota. Today I was embarrassed as a long standing democrat to hear Hillary actually list a number of states that don't matter to her in the race. North Dakota does matter. And I matter. I was so taken aback by her arrogance, I just processed my first ever financial political contribution to Barack Obama."

    In addition, I have yet to hear her say thank you to anyone who took the time to vote for her when she lost a race. How ungrateful does that appear.

    5) Elected on her OWN merits for 7 years. She brings up her husband every minute as if he is running for the office not her

    6) Poor judgement on the Iraq vote and LIED about it. Hillary claimed prior to her YES vote that she had done the research and read the briefs yadda yadda. Now she has changed her tune and claims she never read the NIEs. On something as important as sending soldiers into a foreign country possibly to die there, wouldn't it be incumbent on you to actually know what the hell you are doing? Who is she going to blame for not reading them? Bill?

    7) She has already given GW the okay to go to war with Iran- a run up using the same talking points that got us into Iraq

    8) When her husband was running for President back in 1992, she demeaned women who were stay at home moms and made them seem pathetic and weak. Now, not for nothing, women have long memories and carry grudges for a long time. This has been a sore spot for many women and it has not faded at all.

    9) Wants to claim credit for the good things during the Clinton Administration ( this is part of her 35 years of experience) yet she wants to distance herself from the no so great parts of the same. Example NAFTA. She did speak out in support of it during the administration and even after it example in 1996 in Brownsville TX, she said it was a good thing. In 2004, she said it was good for New York and America now that she is in Ohio, she is furious when it is pointed out that she had spoken out in support of it. She cannot have it both ways.

    The Scandals

    10) White Water- although Bill was front and center in the scandal people tend to forget it was HER transactions and the innvolvement of HER law firm, The Rose Law firm where she worked that played a pivotal role in Whitewater

    11) Travel Gate

    12) Misappropriation of FBI files,

    13) Chinagate

    14) Now there is a questionable deal with a Canadian businessman and her husband which ended up netting the businessman billions of dollars in Uranium contracts with Kazakhstan and Bill Clinton $35 million which seemed to have been funneled through his foundation. The problem is, now that they are refusing to release their tax returns untill AFTER the convention, when she was supposed to have been "crowned", it appears not to pass the "smell" test, fairly or unfairly.

    With the level of scandals that have followed from before, there is no way, these will not be aired as a laundry list every few seconds by the opposition.

    The Clintons remind me of someone we had been in involved with that resulted in a really bad relationship and an even worse breakup. A few years pass and for some reason because they are familiar you get back together then a llittle while later you remember why it is you broke up in the first place.

    I totally agree with you. 1. People see obama as a change, he is black and promotes a lot of change. Though, his changes will never work cause they would cost trillionS!!!!!! Affluent whites think it is "cool" and "different" to vote for a black man. That way they say they're not racist at all. But in a way they're more racist because they see blacks as different than whites. Hypothetically, blacks and whites should be seen as the same. Obama has no experience!!!!!!!! If i were to become president, though i'm underage, i could do a better job than he!!!!!!!! He gives so many empty promises. CHange change change!!!!!! Anybody can say anything, but it doesn't mean they're a good politician. At least John Mccain is a straight shooter!!Most politicians don't bs as much as Obama does, but they are still sly. Honestly, i might think about moving to Canada if obama gets elected. It would be such a corruption of the great nation my ancestors came to. The sole nation of its kind. A superpower, but a kind one. One that does not abuse human rights, nor tax it's people to death.... I love this country, but i do not know if i could bear to see it go down in flames when obama is prezzz.

    Both Hitler and Stalin had far more experience than Hillary or her husband, so?

    Hillary is aching for the majority 52% of women to use their power of 'positive' discrimination to discriminate against any and all men, most women aren't that daft and can see though that.

    Obama may actually believe what he's saying and he is certainly saying it well.

    Hillary just wants a pony; but even sugar daddy can't provide this one!

    Part of it is her demeanor. However.........

    Do your Homework and compare Obama's short tenure in the U.S. Senate to Hillary's Full Term plus 2 years. Then decide. These are the facts:

     From the Library of Congress: Hillary Clinton in her one full term(6 yrs.) and another year campaigning, has authored and passed only 20 pieces of legislation in her term of six years into law. They range from naming a courthouse after Thurgood Marshall to naming a Post Office after Jonn A. O'Shea. Obama in his first 8 Months sponsored over 820 Bills. Introduced 233 Bills on Healthcare Reform, 125 Bills on Poverty and Public Assistance, 112 Bills on Crime Fighting, 97 Economic Bills, 60 Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bills, 21 Ethics Reform Bills, 6 Veterans Affairs Bills and many others. In his First Year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 Bills and co-spomsored another 427. These Include: 1) the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 that became Law, 2) the Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-prliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act that became Law, 3) the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act that passed the Senate, 4) the 2007 Government Ethics Bill that became Law, just to name a few. In all, since he entered the Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 Bills and co-sponsored another 1096.

    You decide..........

    hillary is a liar and a rule breaker.

    1. For 2 years she repeatedly said she had no intentions of running for president. - lie

    2. went against party rules and stayed on the michigan ballot. - rule breaker.

    3. 7 years of bush lies and rule breaking is enough for the majority of Americans to rid government of the old ways that are entrenched in washington.

    Because they know about her and haven't yet realized O bo is just like her! Both haters of America and both are of the Blame America First school, and of course both stay here in America and have the very people they degrade protect them. How come the anti-war protesters never protest Alkida? Never go to a war zone and protest, never go to another country and protest.

    WHen they wake up and realize the " O' bomber" is just the male version of Comrade Clinton, they will change their tune. O-Bomber has no substance! He does know how to vote, "Here!" though, and is a member of a racist church! Go big O

    Obama is a much better speaker, and has no connections to the past history that the Clintons have with this nation.
