Give the new kid on the block a break!

A new face, new ideas and a renewed inspiration for the U.S.

In London they recently elected a new mayor, the man they elected was pilloried in the press as a `Buffoon and a Clown`. I supported him all the way in his campaign to oust the only man ever to hold that precious office, created in 2000. Former mayor Ken Livingstone grew too used to the job, he hated motorists, he is a non-carowner who takes cabs everywhere paid for by the very motorists he targets with his stealth taxes. Boris Johnson is the new mayor, and he is already taking a lead from ex-mayor of NYC Rudi Guiliani who we love in the U.K.

Our present love affair is with Hillary Clinton, this woman is made of the same stuff as people like Benjamin Franklin, inventive, outspoken, brave and a go-getter. We liked Bill when he was in office, not for his charismatic manner so much, as for his ability to get the job done and to do it for the American people first. Thats the true worth of a great leader as opposed to a good leader, the ability and the courage of their convictions to do it first for their own, then sort out the rest of the worlds problems.

Obama is a good man, but Hillary is a great leader and thats all the edge she needs. The U.K. did well when we had a woman in power, and so will America with Hillary. There will be those that Hillary won`t ever be able to satisfy, but she will still work for their betterment anyway. Too often we are so far into the woods that we don`t see the trees, but I for one am hoping that the American people will open their eyes and see the tree of change, a tree that stands tall like the giant redwood. A tree that entwines its roots with others to give support and strength, especially to the weaker and more vulnerable ones. I have seen these trees in the beautiful state of California, discovered by brave men and women, who dared to challenge the elements and nature, dared to go out into the unknown and build a life for their families.

Now it is your turn to do just that, and support Hillary in her brave drive to lead the only true democracy on the planet, a woman of the people, for the people and by the people. A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for you and your family, and for me and mine, for when America sneezes, Europe catches a cold.
