Obama, Clinton, McCain: Whose Baggage Weighs Less?

Waiting at the airport ticket gate, we have Clinton who is ducking from sniper fire, Obama who brought his wacky preacher travel companion, and McCain who is guzzling champagne with one of his biggest campaign contributors who just traded Arizona grasslands for valuable federal property, thanks to his buddy, McCain. The baggage these 2008 Presidential Candidates bring to the campaign is not all that different from past politician passengers: lies, questionable morals, and corruption. It seems that America is faced with deciding which of these character traits packed in the presidential candidates' overweight suitcases is the least worrisome for the future of our country.

Inspecting Clinton's Baggage

I'm a firm believer in giving people a second chance if they make some mistakes in judgment during their political career. After all, we are human and nobody is exempt from skeleton bones in their baggage. There is no doubt that Hillary Clinton will pack Bill Clinton in her suitcase when traveling to the White House to serve as President. While I think our country was better off under Bill Clinton than we are under George Bush, I remain skeptical and critical of White Water, Pardongate, and the lies told during Clinton's charges of infidelity. There seems to be a pattern of telling lies in the Clinton family that heavily weigh down the suitcase. I thought Hillary Clinton was redeeming herself until she blurted out having to hide from sniper fire. OK, maybe she misspoke or forgot what she was saying, but please - how can you make up a story about sniper fire and be wrong about it?
