From note received by Sunny

i think Hilary is devoted to her causes but that she is not politically
palatable to people that have beliefs in honesty, marriage, and
diplomacy. She is an intellectual and perhaps has compromised herself
with Bill (who sailed politically becasue of his ability t o charm even
in tough waters- this must seem sooo unfair to hilary), and is
motivated by her deep personal goals maybe to accomplish rather than t
o lead, or maybe just revenge!. I think she is not politically savvy
enough to do much right now. I do not like her either. What has she
done after all?
Obama is an idealist, loves people, is an intellectual but with much
broader international vision than Hilary will ever achieve. Hialry is
very smart, but I think her tough talk, her politically shaped
dialogue, and her fears of whatever (losing, being open) make her lack
diplomacy. It is not enough for right now. Right now we need an artist.
Someone that can really reinspire people to love the world rather than
fear it, remind people of our need to respect differences, and to
create policy domestically that fixes what a capitalist system does not
naturally generate.

I keep thinking about the man that negotiated the N. Korean policy- He
appeared to be "friendly, relaxed, persistent, diplomatic...) and yet
he accomplished so much. Hilary likes to use that tough talk but I
think it is a sign of lack of power. Reagan, Kennedy, etc- no matter
what people thinkabout them, led the country through positive idealism.
I think Obama can as well. I hope he is not dragged down by the
exisiting structure. He must think "out of the box" to really do well
and make change. Why not have Obama get Bill Gates to devise a medical
ins proposal and present it as legislation- noone wants to crticise
him!!!!! And Obama stays clean and out of the debate..you know....etc
etc..

Sunny i love hearing from you - you have so much energy! I wish i knew
moreabout politics...but how can we? too much noise
