The First Man

The 2008 United States Presidential Election is close to a year away and the question arises, who would I vote for if today was voting day? I am a man that loves to be a part of history. In the next 50 years, I want to know that I witnessed history that no one ever thought conceivably possible. Hillary Rodham Clinton would get my vote. When her husband, Bill Clinton, was in the White House as President, I was a huge fan of the family despite the affair allegations. If elected President, Hillary Clinton would be the first female President in the History of the United States. Not to mention, Bill Clinton’s title would be First Man. Yet again, it would be another history in the making. I’m not sure as to the most important political issues, besides the unimpressive war in the Middle East. I know I should be. I’m American and I should care about my future as well as my families but I get so lost and can never keep up with arguments. I’ve had the privilege to see Hillary Clinton in person and see her speak when Bill Clinton was in office. She spoke a lot about health care issues and social security. Providing affordable health care to all Americans is one of Hillary’s goals as President. This is most appealing goal to me because the cost of health care is an issue for some of my family members. It saddens me to see some of my closest friends and family be rejected to certain health care providers because they can’t afford it, or they have too low of an income. Family is the most important thing to me and I believe Hillary firmly cares about Americans and their well-being. Health care can be hard to afford as I have witness. I grew up influenced by my parents and their views on politics. I was raised liking Bill Clinton, but my parents always thought Hillary would have made a better President. Now that she is running, I believe she could have an even shot to win. According to Alex Massie of the London Telegraph, Hillary is at the top of the poles. He says that pole after pole proves that she is already winning.
