Knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time to 2008 and the only choices for US president were Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, which would you choose?

Hillary.  Why not?  Barry has not been anything for the history books so far.

can't stand hilary.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I voted for Obama in the caucus, but if I had it to do over again I think I'd go with Hillary and give Barack another couple terms in the Senate before sending him up. For some reason I just really didn't like her back then.

The one with balls.  Hill.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Same, except replace "election" for caucus.

B. H. Obama.

I didn't vote, but that would have been a tough decision for me.  On the one hand, I hate parvenus.  On the other, I don't believe that a woman can make a good political leader.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

She turned out alright, but I'm still opposed in principle.

Obama. Like a chick in college we have now had a black man so we can put that shit behind us. There will always be time for a woman president.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.
