EDGAR's Journal 1



Hilary Clinton is a person that I admire as woman but I disagree with some of her views in politics. For instance, she agrees indirectly with the war in Iraq and make me think that her husband could influence in her decisions. I was surprised Tyra would ask Hillary Clinton, a candidate for President, about her husband's affair. I thought Tyra would avoid this kind of questions, but impressed me she had the strength to ask Hillary about it. In addition, Hillary sounded normal and confident answering the question. I love Politics, my uncle was a governor of my city in Bolivia, and my grandfather was killed during a civil war in 1952 because of his political views and disagreements. I guess that is the reason of my interest in politics. I understand is really hard to lead a campaign, you need to be physically and mentally in good shape, particularly here in the US. You loose a lot of sleep time, eating time and, the most important, family time. My uncle always tell us his experiences being in a campaign and he remembers that because he had to talk a lot on TV interviews, newspapers or streets make his body to loose water, so he had to carry or request water all the time. Hillary and the other candidates, even though they are older, are ready and capable to lead this country, not only for their knowledge, experience or plans but for their preparation physically and mentally. I am inclined towards Obama, he is young and someone different than the other candidates, which I think is what this country need, a new face and new changes.
