So why don't I trust either Clinton or Obama?
Obama seems ambitious and to me, appears to have a hidden agenda, and Clinton certainly is in bed with the Bush family and their international workings...does this strike a chord in anyone, or do you have impressions that counter mine? I'm hoping for insight into the candidates please, and I'm hoping that I'm wrong.

6. You know, I am at the point, except for my disgust at the rampant sexism, I no longer care
who is president. I think I am gonna just give up on this. I don't really think either is suited for the job.I think Hillary is more qualified and she is a known quantity but it looks like Obama will get it and I am almost caring less whether he or Mccain win. I think I am just disgusted by this whole primary and the stupidity of it all. Time for a rest.

17. I don't know why..................
But I have tested her by distance and it seems her fourth chakra is blocked, and stays blocked. Obama doesn't have any issues like that.
Her husband Bill has two chakras blocked--fourth and fifth.

20. It could be due to a physical problem
Maybe there's something wrong with the ol' ticker, which would come across in a reading as a blocked chakra, meaning that it's not vibrating as strongly as the other ones. A blocked fourth is very common in men, and becoming more common among women of late as we are all expected to repress our emotions if we want to be perceived as "professional."
I've found distance reading to be pretty unreliable, however. YMMV and all that.

13. I too don't trust either Clinton or Obama
Clinton has a longer "track record." That means she has been tested more than Obama. It also means that she has made well documented choices that conflict with my own preferences and values. My issues with Clinton are quite specific.
Obama is largely untested IMHO. There is something about Obama that I cannot label but intuitively distrust. I also find him arrogant and something less than mannerly. That may not be critical to job performance but it is relevant. FWIW, I didn't even think John Kerry was arrogant although he was widely accused of the offense.
I will say that I find the widespread groundswell of Obama's support reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter campaign. Now, I happen to like Jimmy and I think he is a great ex-President. Had I been old enough to vote when he was a candidate I would have voted for him. Unfortunately, try as he might, he was not an effective chief executive. Lots of reasons for that - not all of which reflect on him or his abilities.
I cannot imagine not voting for the Dem nominee. But it will be a half-hearted nose holding vote. No enthusiasm here over the remaining contenders.
Sue me, I can't resist the compelling mix of politics and New Age woo. :-)
