Banking on Texas and Ohio, Clinton Campaign Continues Shakeup
 Email This
Sen. Hillary Clinton, who suffered setbacks in both Virginia and Maryland primaries Tuesday, has set her sights on the March 4 primaries in Texas and Ohio.
Even with the polls still open in Maryland, Clinton appeared in Texas on Tuesday night, sounding confident, but also admitting that they needed to do well in those two contests.
Clinton focused on a series of local station interviews on Tuesday and campaigned before several thousand in El Paso, Texas.
“We’re going to sweep across Texas in the next three weeks, bringing our message about what we need in America,” Clinton told supporters. “I’m tested, I’m ready, let’s make it happen!” Instead of attacking her opponents, Clinton stressed a new vision of America, outlining a myriad of policies ranging from domestic energy security, raising the minimum wage and offering health care access to all.
Some analysts said results in Virginia should raise concerns within the campaign, pointing out that, according to exit polls, Obama had defeated Clinton among almost all demographic groups, with the exception of white women and some older voters.
Before the results had begun to come in, the Clinton campaign was said to be focusing on state primaries in Texas and Ohio set for March 4.
“Ohio is really going to count in determining who our Democratic nominee is going to be,” Clinton herself told a local station in Cincinnati.
According to internal memos sent to the press, Clinton’s senior advisers continued to maintain they would be the stronger candidate to face front-runner Sen. John McCain in the fall.
“She has consistently shown an electoral resiliency in difficult situations that have made her a winner,” Mark Penn said, according to The New York Times. “Senator Obama has in fact never had a serious Republican challenger.”
Despite the pledge to continue to focus “on the long run,” as Penn put it, the news out of the campaign continued to highlight apparent turmoil within the ranks.
As results poured in showing Clinton losing both Virginia and Maryland handily, news also broke the deputy campaign manager Mike Henry had followed his former boss Patti Solis Doyle and left the campaign Monday.
“As someone who has managed campaigns, I share the unique understanding of the challenges that the campaign will face over the next several weeks,” Mike Henry wrote in an email. “Our campaign needs to move quickly to build a new leadership team, support them and their decisions and make the necessary adjustments to achieve the winning outcome for which we have all worked so hard for over a year now.”
The deputy campaign manager submitted his resignation Monday but stayed with the campaign through Tuesday’s voting.
Henry was most noted for drafting a memo in May 2007 urging the Clinton campaign consider skipping the Iowa caucuses.
“My recommendation is to pull completely out of Iowa and spend the money and Senator Clinton’s time on other states,” Politico quoted Henry as writing. “If she walks away from Iowa she will devalue Iowa — our consistently weakest state.”
Clinton came in third in Iowa, which gave the Obama campaign a major boost early in the campaign.

Seriously, is she going to eat the small texan?
Seems like Hillary Clinton is now copying from the Obama campaing playbook. She starting to talk about change in America. Glad she could join the party...late.
Sen. H. Clinton should emphasize the change she wants. 1. To bring home all americans soldiers in Irag. TO capture Bin ladin by all means 2. People (all) in the USA must be covered with Medical Care. 3. To Strengthen the Economy.
The more I hear of Hillary the greater my conviction that she would be a huge disaster in the White House. She reinvents herself every time she campaigns at a new location. She had her chance as First Lady to push for many of the changes she now promises voters. She continues to promote herself, "I'm your Girl" and counts on women to vote for her. I can only hope that gender and race do not play a part in who is best qualified to be our next president. Hillary/Bill cannot serve as a "singular" president, and would find no one foolish enough to agree to run as a meaningless VP. I think we are fortunate to have a very qualified candidate ofr President. Barack Obama is highly capable to fill that position. He has integrity and the ability to bring people together. It is time to bring back some dignity to the White House, and to earn back the respect of other nations as America the land of liberty and home of the brave.
Would I be cynical in thinking why Sentator Clinton chose a Hispanic to head her campaign and then released her choice when things go wrong?
Hillary is an incredible capable figure and she will definately win even though she seems not as strong ans usual but she will win at the end since she is blessed and chosen by God. No matter how people feel my opion lacks of logic and retional. She will win and she is the only person can meet and win Republic nominee. Obama can do a little better but he has no way to win the election. I pray everyday and I have such confidence to Hillary through my earnest prayers. People can do this or that and can make choices this or that, but the bottom line is God selects the President not people /voters. It is very hard to understand for non believers. We will see that Hillary will win!!!! No doubt about it!!!
Looks like Hillary is having some serious turbulance in her campaign: Eight straight losses (by wide margins). I am particularly intriqued by her huge loss in Washington DC, 75% to about 30%? I guess Washington DC really got to know her. ;):). She replaced Patti Solis Doyle, her Hispanic campaign manager, and now Mike Henry who worked under Solis Doyle has resigned. Look for more resignations. By the way, wasn't Maggie Williams, her new campaign manger, Hillary's secretary when she was in the White House? Wasn't she the one that Hillary ordered to remove all of Vince Foster's files from his office upon his murder/suicide? Wasn't this when the Whitewater Investigation was taking place? I've often wondered what was in those files. Perhaps hard evidence against Hillary? Vince Foster worked with Hillary in the Rose Law Firm in Arkansas. Now Maggie is back in the groove with Hill. Very interesting.
Hillary's dismissal of Patti Solis Doyle has not set well within the Latino Community. Two New York Hispanic leaders were questioning this. You just don't dismiss a key player in the middle of the game. I believe this incident is going to cost Hillary many Hispanic votes.
Another example of Hillary's instability is the fact that she chose not to return to the senate to day on important amendments to our National Security Policies. She was in the DC area but did not show. Senators Obama and McCain took the time to return to the senate and vote. Hillary again put her own agenda and self-interest before our National Security.
We cannot allow that self-serving and irrisponsible woman claw her way into our White House.
Texans want a president who will UNITE this country: Senator Obama!
We're all tired of the endless partisan, petty bickering & fighting and nothing getting DONE (Hillary's style and history).
Prediction: Barack will actually get a majority of the Latino vote in Texas....and lead to a surprisingly HUGE Texas victory for Obama -- and propel him to the White House.
Barack will UNITE us and restore our great country to its proper, RESPECTED role in the world.
Thanks! -- Susan, Mary, and Janie
Thank you for your reasonable and unprejudiced reporting. I've read several reports tonight in AP, ABC, NBC, New York Times and Washington Post. Yours is the only one that reports the facts and does not in some way disparage or vilify Sen Clinton or her husband.
Again, thank you.

Obama will not be able to beat John McCain.
The only reason he has taken the delegate lead is because he has won states such as Nebraska, Kansas, Idaho, and other traditional Republican states. Neither Clinton nor Obama have a chance of winning those Republican states when the actual Presidential election occurs. So, they may give Obama a lead, but they are meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
Hillary Clinton is much stronger in states such as California, New York, Florida, Michigan, Texas, Ohio, and other traditional Democratic states that will play a role in the democatic election. The problem for Hillary Clinton is that Florida and Michigan delegates that she won were cheated away from her. If Florida and Michigan votes counted, Clinton would be far ahead of Obama.
Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania voters need to make sure that they vote for Hillary Clinton...or else McCain will end up being the next president--"keeping the war going for over 100 years," as he said.
Ohio
Texas
Pennsylvania
Please make sure and get off your butts to vote for Hillary Clinton, because if you don't, then the very biased African Americans who vote 90% in favor of Obama (YES, that IS RACIST) will end up doing more for their person than you did.
Obama is the man for Americans.He represents everything Martin Lurther.May God perfect his dream of becoming an American President.
Hi I just wanna say that Senator Barack Obama is better able to bring back the fallen glory of United States of America.
Mrs Clinton is old and her wide of experience she claimed she has stops no way.
I wish Senator Obama good luck and his programme of unification the world all over.
Senator Clinton has worked tirelessly to improve conditions in this country and for that she is deserving of our sincere appreciation and respect. However, Senator Clinton is deeply entrenched in the political system of "the old America" -- and this is the time when a "New America" has begun to emerge: a time when Americans have begun to open their eyes, examine their hearts' desires and their conscience as well. And what they see, these citizens of this emerging "New America", they do not like. And what they know is that they can find a better way.
The people whom Senator Clinton has served with devotion, intelligence, and sacrifice, have realized they need something more from their highest political leader; and that "something more" is the ability to bring together people of many different backgrounds, beliefs, and ideas and inspire them to work WITH and FOR each other rather than against and without each other.
Senator Clinton has a long history of openly expressing her resentment and anger towards individual Republican politicians and the Republican Party as a whole. Senator Clinton sees relations between Democrats and Republicans as "its us against them" and that's a philosophy that not only separates people from one another but sets them up against one another as well.
If you listen carefully to those who have opened their eyes, you will hear very clearly what it is they need, what it is they want .. what it is they now demand:
the people of American are calling for a leader who sees us as ONE nation made of MANY--a leader who not just BELIEVES that we ALL can work TOGETHER, but who KNOWS it is possible because he has already seen it take place and has helped it come about himself!
The one person who has that singular and essential ability to bring the Republicans and the Democrats, the Conservatives and the Liberals, the Independents and those who haven't even registered--- the one person who can motivate all those different "types" of people to look beyond "type" and gaze at the core within them, and see that what we really are, simply, is people,.... American people... Americans who can and will work together because that is what we need to do to fix this mess that the "us against them" mind-set has gotten us into!
And basically, that is why I'm NOT voting for Hillary Clinton... and THAT is why I AM voting for Barack Obama!
The Clintons say that other states do not matter except the big ones. This is ridiculous because they keep giving reasons while Obama keeps winning recognising that every state matters. If Hillary becomes the dubious nominee ala super delegates, it is clear that the states that dont' matter to her will turn her back on her too which makes her a liability to the Democratic party if they really want to take back the White House. Obama is prevailing over a tough and cunning, well loved former President Bill Clinton, so John McCain will be less problematic for him in November. This is a plus. He has weathering and surviving all attacks by the Clinton machine who are now pleading for more debates where they believe they have an edge. But this is a big mistake. Obama has won all debates he has had with Hillary if you objectively assess their performance and this has also reflected in electoral gains for Obama like at Super Tuesday. The media has been deceiving Hillary that she does well in their debates but the voters think otherwise. Obama is the Democrats EASIER route to taking back the White House.
What a pity!!!
It's time for women to step up and stop the good old boys club in keeping women down. Obama does not have the experience and the media is being unfair in continually making him look like the underdog and helping him. How about some of the same for Hilary. They Republicans are behind this hype because they are pretty sure with Obama in there they can win the election.
i think barrack obama winning the presidential race will show the real USA independace of race or religion
Hi am Steve in Juba South Sudan,I greatly belive Clinton and John McCain will make better President for US & the rest of World for period. Pz don't let the Sino"s to raise because of wk
leader in US. God bless America.
I believe President-Elect Clinton has not be treated fairly with the Media's questions and projections. Their obvious disdain of her because of the Clinton Presidency has shaded their fair reporting of Obama's negatives. I also think that the "White-Men" are against her because she is so strong and they fear a Woman "OVER" them. They would rather have someone that has not been tested, that just stop smoking, which shows a lack of restraint, and a person that never answer a question with a specific answer, than to have a very articulate, negative reporting survivor, and clear plan "from day one". We say as Americans, we are for democracy, and we "fix the fight" by the Media, instead of fair reporting and allow the VOTERS to make their decision off unbiased information.

If Clinton is not the nominee, I will switch to vote for Huckabee!
i will continue to fights for hillary we will make it happen. she is more than qualify to be our next president than the the other guy. but we need to do more we need to energized our fellow americans. may we suggest to get well knowned celebrity to get envolved before mrs. clinton deliver her messages.god blessed you and i can not wait to maddam president in november to say loud. you are trully the to be our next president.
Obama would have, would have looked great in election year 2016. Today, he looks like an opportunist who is spoiling the race for a deserving candidate like Hillary.Hillary Clinton should be our gal. She is the most responsible of all the candidates. The mark of a true leader is a general who sees the need for negotiation and will not push his men into unnecessary bloodshed.
Obama has challenged the social and political order by pushing too hard, too soon and it is only for personal power. The worlds needs a woman leader, America has needed a woman for a long time. Lets not sabotage this chance to give ourselves this well deserving candidate. The time for peace is now. The time for embracing the feminine within us is NOW. LET us truly stand for ourselves, for heavens sake !
Its really sad that there is so much of race involved in all of these. But its inevitably true as well that at the end of the day race is going to play a huge part in deciding the democratic candidate. Both Obama and Clinton have their weaknesses and strengths but i believe that Obama can and will face and acknowledge his shortcomings and work at them. His vision of a unified world is one that is very appealing to us.
May the best candidate win.
Hey Hillary:
SEEEEEEEEEEEE YA
WOULDN'T WANNA BEEEE YA.
VOTE OBAMA
TRUE CHANGE COMES WITH A NEW OUTLOOK.
Clinton yells at Latino boy, flips off camera (see photo).
you can fool some of the people some of the time but as we can see after yesterdays election--Clinton should know ---not all of the time. Clinton will not bring out the troops and the voters know it. She is a big part of the problem with this country-this is the United States of American not the United States of Israel.
"If Clinton is not the nominee, I will switch to vote for Huckabee!"
You've really been following this election I see. If you decide to vote for Huckabee in the General Election then I'll save you some gas money. He won't be on the ballot. How's that business of yours working out. Is there a huge market out there for 8 track players.
With regards to the comment left by Ron who stated that"god, not the voters," chooses the president. Think about it Ron. Do yu really think God would want to take the blame for putting G.W. bush in office? I would hope the Almighty could do a little better.
No good news about Hillary. Here are her main weak points.
1. She is selfish. If she loses an election, she does not have the habit of saying thank you even for those who voted for her. This has been upsetting and regretting many who have given their votes for her thinking that she could do the job.
2.When she loses any election, she has excuses like, blakc voters, small states, these state will not vote in the general election for dem party, bla bla bla. This shows that she racist and does not stand to the right all people across all states including small states
3. She can say anying to get elected. How come one is able to do every thing while the real world is full of constraits? This simply shows that she is not worth trusty. Impossible to trust her.
4. why she refuses to return her tax card? she said i would do so if i secure the dem nomination. Is it really a give and take game? just ill advised.
5. changing campaign managers and deputy:
her latino campain manger was there just to help her with the latino voters. And she has indeed helped her a lot. had that been not the case, she would not have gon this far. Why now a black manager??
Obama does appear to offer a message of hope and change, although I have not read or heard how he expects this to come about? I am very interested in knowing how he intends to do this. Afterall, George W. Bush had a lot of talk, but has not produced much other than his rhetoric, a senseless approach to battling terrorism, a failing economy...
Unfortunately, Americans appear to go for the oratorical inspiration. Obama needs to step-up and detail his plan, or we will have another four to eight years of bliss. He could also consider building his credentials and experience with domestic and forign policy over the next four to eight years, rather than subjecting America to providing hands-on training for the Presidency.
A Clinton-Obama ticket could prove fruitful, with Clinton's experience, perseverance, and knowledge of the political arena, coupled with Obama's energy an inspiration. Such a powerhouse could secure a democratic executive seat for the next four terms, and bring forth an era in our democracy we have never seen.
"Please make sure and get off your butts to vote for Hillary Clinton, because if you don't, then the very biased African Americans who vote 90% in favor of Obama (YES, that IS RACIST) will end up doing more for their person than you did".

Wow (Mike) thinks the African American voters are "RACIST" because the majority support Obama.
What were you calling these voters when they helped elect Bill Clinton twice?
The African American community is not obligated to vote for Hillary. I think to call these voters racist is such a ridiculous statement.
Are all the white voters that support Hillary "RACIST"???
See how stupid that sounds????
Voters should take note that Hillary is not very electable.. What happens if she wins the nomination? How does she make up in states that she marginalized because they were too "SMALL" for her to spend any time in.. She never tried! When the chips are down, she looks like she will cut and run. Is this the new leader you want?
"If Clinton is not the nominee, I will switch to vote for Huckabee"!
LOL!LOL!LOL!LOL! er um NEWSFLASH!!!!
Huckabee is NOT the GOP nominee...no where close!!!!
LOL!LOL!LOL!LOL!
either obama or clinton is another step in the direction of socialism and at worst communism.
When did this race between the Democratic candidates become an issue of dreams and inspiration? Obama inspires you? Has the perfect cadence of his speeches inspired you enough that you forget what he is not saying? Here comes the man who tells us what his plan is without the precise details of its execution! When will the Obama supporters ask to see the actual blueprints of his plans?
Do you want to vote for him because you see him as having a fresh face, fresh attitude? When I listen to him, all I hear is the semblance of a high school rally and the sounds of naivete? He is just not ready enough.
Tired of the complaints. People keep saying that Obama doesn't have enough specific plans. Hillary keeps talking about her "specific plans." When, if ever, has a President been able to pass legislation without every senator and congressman on both sides of the isle putting their own two cents in? Stop complaining about Obama not having enough of a plan. Neither one would be able to push through legislation with a divided Congress anyway. Being a Leader is what the Presidency is about. and No one on the right is going to follow Clinton when they can bash her for political points. Obama at least has a chance to appeal across party lines and lead the country. Time for Hillary to do what she does best, represent liberal NY in the Senate.
"Obama would have, would have looked great in election year 2016. Today, he looks like an opportunist who is spoiling the race for a deserving candidate like Hillary.Hillary Clinton should be our gal. She is the most responsible of all the candidates. The mark of a true leader is a general who sees the need for negotiation and will not push his men into unnecessary bloodshed".
Well your "Gal" voted for the war!!!! She supported BUSH!
So much for her attributes of a "true" leader. Hillary's TOP people are either leaving or being fired. IF she can't select the "Right" people,how can she lead this country?
I can understand everybody making arguments for the candidate of their choice,but why not make them based on facts? Everybody knows Hillary voted for the war.
Seems its a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea--Clinton seems to have some sense of arrogance that she is the chosen one while Obama--is still wet behind the ears.
I think Hillary would be a good president to lead the country, but Obama is twice as good. He seems to know how to pull people together and that is what this country needs. We all need to be able to work together and not look at the race or gender of an individual. After all, what counts is how the mind works with good ideas and smart decisions.
I think that Obama winning the Republican states does matter, especially since the delegates are allocated proportionally. Obama does not really have to win any primaries or caucuses, but remain competitive and possibly walk off with a fourth or half the pledged delegates. Obama has clearly demonstated he can win across various demographic lines. Hillary clearly believed this was going to be a "cakewalk" to the nomination. If Hillary is going to win, she is going to have to beat Obama decisively. Four or five percentage points is not going to cut the mustard.
iam african but supporting hillary clinton for presidency.America enjoyed prosperity in the 90s because behind every successfull man there is a woman and this woman is hillary and i would like to urge democrats to vote for her.please Texas and Ohio make a final decision by voting for this great daughter of America
Obama is very articulate, dramtic and engaging. However, when you pin him down to specifics in how he plans to bring about all these changes he proposes, his answers are very vauge,general and indefinite. For instance, when you question him on immigration issues, he says that "cracking down on the employers" is the key. Very true, but if he is asked just how he plans to "crack down on the employers" he totally evades the answer or says something about fines or penalties, never being specific. Black America would love to see a Black family in the White House just like women in general would love to see a female president. Many will vote race and gender. If you haven't noticed by now the corporate-owned media strongly favors Obama, and the reason for this, of course, is they know if Obama is the candidate, McCain will be president. During the Republicans' reign, corpocracy has triumphed over democracy in this country and they won't go away easily. I never got a chance to vote for my candidate, John Edwards, who unfortunately (for him) took on the big corporate interests and was totally ignored by the media. There is no doubt that Hillary Clinton is the more qualified to be president. People should vote for who is most qualified to lead the free world; background and experience do matter. Were you happier with the Democrat Bill Clinton or Republican George W. Bush administrations? Obama overall is not electible. Vote accordingly.
I believe in my heart that Obama will be a president for the entire country, not just for the democrats. Face it, when Bill Clinton was president clearly there was division the White House. The Bible says that a house divided cannot stand.In order for a preacher or deacon to lead the church(people), he must have control of his own children and home.I'm not trying to be mean. Every makes at least one mistake, but two and three? I truly cannot believe that the Clinton home is united. I cannot believe that it has healed enough for them to run my country. Do you? Plus I know I may offend women by saying this, by the way I am a woman, a mother of 4 grand mother of nine. Two sons and four grandsons. We have tried to teach them that they are to be the head their family and the importance of the male role in this world. Face it people, this is becoming more and more difficult since our women want to take the man's place in society. then when our men don't work or are not faithful, we want to condem them. what do we want? a husband to teach our sons and daughters that its okay for the wife to work and the man stay home and play games or cook? do we tell our daugthers and sons that God made us different just for sexual purposes? If women want to lead things Let them teach our daughters how to be good mothers and wives. Let our men lead, or don't complain. This is the reason why women are voting for Hillary: They want to be "the man". Decide what role do we want our men to play. Behind us or up front taking care of us? And be real! You know this man (Obama)is going to do his best to make things right for everyone! Put some prayer behind this. Listen to him, look in his eyes. Look in her eyes. Have you noticed her temper tantrums, her tears when things are not going her way? When a real serious decision is to be made and she doesn't get her way, what is going to happen?
Wow, these are some interesting blogs that you have posted. I especially like when people talk about how Obama is winning "RED" states. And Hillary is not paying attention to those states. well if you look at the the votes of the "RED" states won by Obama, he got twice the amount of votes than the Republicans did. Look at Maryland and Virginia, Obama won them 2 to 1 over the republicans. So he can unite both Democrate and Republicans. So, Hillary needs to stop down playing the "RED" states. Because if she wins the nomination, she'll have a lot more work uniting the country than Obama does. Obama has more states both traditionally Democratic, and Republican states. So, Obama is the right candidate for the job GO OBAMA
I am so fed up by people complaining about the Black vote for Obama. Did you ever stop & think that he is the better candidate??? It's not like this is our first time voting - we have voted in the past for white presidents. Are the white people who vote for all the other candidates racist because they don't vote for Obama or are they voting for the candidate who supports their views? We are not a stupid people & now the country & the Black People realize just how much power we have if we put it to use in a positive manner.

How can anyone say voting for a certain person is racist?
Obama is partially black. Why does that matter.
He is also Hawaiian.
He is also American.
If anyone really wants change, they have to consider that doing something the same over and over and over (establishment=hillary) is not going to bring about Change.
A new base from which to think.
Unity.
I would hope that Obama as president would not be Democrat or represent only Democrats.
I would hope he has the nerve to come before the people and say THIS is not getting done because of Partisanship.
THESE are the people holding it back.
I think it should be The President/The people as one, and that President reporting to the People regularly, as to what and who is holding up the People wishes.
PEOPLE Want Change. Obama is Change.
Accept him for what he is.
Not because of Race or against him because of Race....IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT...YOU are part of those needing to change.
Capische'?
Thanks.
Hillary will prevail in the end and come out victorious by defeating corporate media and GOP machines.
Carrie Whitcomb hit the nail right on the head. Let's not concentrate on race,that only adds to partisan bickering and won't aid in solving our problems. Let's bring the troops home - no more senseless dying; and fix the economy jobs and a livable wage and let's get health insurance for all; and last ,but not least let's love ,respect and keep clean the earth that we all share.
Here's something from the Plain Dealer in Cleveland, OH dated 2/10/08 - they interviewed all candidates (Clinton, McCain, Obama) for 30 minutes and here's their conclusion:
Clinton sold herself as the best because of her broad voter appeal and her experience dealing with foreign affairs."I am very encouraged and heartened by the support I have," she said. "I think I have work to do. I believe I'm much better positioned than Sen. Obama to take on Sen. McCain. I have no doubt that Sen. McCain and the Republicans will do everything possible to reprise the national security campaign they ran in 2004. I think I have, from my service on the Senate Armed Services Committee with Sen. McCain, a much better opportunity to make the Democratic case for a strong national security."
Obama's response re: why he would be the best person for the job in terms of foreign policy:
Among the reasons he said he deserves support: "Given the amount of repair work that has to be done internationally in the wake of the Bush-Cheney administration, I don't think there is anybody else who would signal a clear break from Bush and would receive a more open attitude from the world than me. "If I go to a poor country, I do so with the credibility of someone with having a grandmother who lives in a small village without running water. If I go to a Muslim country, I do so as someone who has lived in a Muslim country for four years as a child and with relatives there . . . credibility overseas directly translates into the ability to mobilize the world around real threats."
This is just one of his shallow/no substance answers! Read transcripts of the debates. He is not qualified for this role!
People should stop voting for race or gender. We should start voting for who's ideal plan is the best for our country. There is no doubt that hillary Clinton has the better plan for our country. Not only does she have a plan but has experience which Obama does not provide.She also has Bill Clinton's guidance. Think about it people, if Hillary Clinton is eleceted then we will have two presidents which will be Hilary and Bill Clinton. Obama should stop speeching about "change we can believe in" and start talking about his plans to change America so we can believe him.
