A man called hurricane
Barack Obama embodies the concept of diversity expressed in the American Constitution. He is a mulatto son of a black Kenyan father and a white American mother with African and Asiatic siblings. His early life was spent in Honolulu, Hawaii and Jakarta, Indonesia. He is a graduate from Columbia University and Harvard Law School. He excelled as a student throughout his college career. He has worked as a Community Organizer, University Lecturer, Civil Rights Lawyer, Illinois Senate and US Senate.
After a successful life as a university Professor and a prominent political career in Chicago, he wound up as the democratic presidential pre-candidate of the United States. No other campaign has aroused such interest, enthusiasm and expectation at a national and international level. The cause is obvious, given that there are two qualified persons in the democratic line: Obama, the first black man with an actual chance of wining the American presidency, and Hillary Clinton, the first woman to run for the mentioned position. Clinton represents the old American political class, while Obama represents the new class. Therefore, it makes sense when it is said that if a person wants the United States to continue going in the same direction it has for years, he/she should vote for Clinton; but if a person is looking for something new, he/she should vote for Obama. I know that there are people who do not share this opinion but the facts confirm my point. As reflected in many surveys, the educated class wants a change and is supporting Obama and the less educated class wants things to remain the same and is supporting Clinton.
In this order of ideas, it is logical the fact that Obama’s campaign is based on “the change” while Clinton’s campaign focuses on “the experience”. The message of change offered by Obama means breaking from the political routine that has caused the decline of the American’s life condition. However, is not clear to what Clinton refers when she talks about experience, in view of the fact that, this topic can be analyzed from both a quantity and quality point of view. The first refers to the amount of years that a person works in a determined area and the second refers to the psychological maturity and the intellectual solvency to take an appropriate and wise decision. If we take into consideration the amount of years that the pre-candidates have worked in politic, Clinton evidently has more experience but if we take into consideration the psychological maturity and intellectual solvency, Obama has demonstrated greater psyco-intellectual maturity, voting against the war in Iraq and confronting his most difficult political challenge in his historic speech about race and religion; while Hillary’s maturity has been overshadowed by lies, which have in fact been proven to be false, such as when she told Sir Edmund Hillary, first explorer to climb Mt. Everest, that she had been named after him; or her fabricated story about her arrival to Bosnia under cross-fire when she was the First Lady.
Obama’s hurricane has darkened Clinton’s light that was very resplendent at the time the campaign began. Now, she is striving to shine again by attacking him using improper methods. Her unconventional behavior has not harmed him; on the contrary it has strengthened him. Nonetheless, there is indication that one of these methods is working and is the fact that she is trying to convert the vote intention into a racial issue. Unfortunately, the Obama's ex-Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., with his histrionics, is efficiently contributing to this matter. In this heated democratic presidential race between Obama and Clinton, there is a paradoxical and contradictory point involving the Spanish community. Obama was pushed and has been supported by American people due to his moral, human, intellectual and professional qualities. This fact shows that the American population wants change in the White House. Nevertheless, the Spanish community, ironically the group in most need of change, is supporting Clinton’s campaign.

After all I don't believe hers is an unconventional behavior, on the contrary is very conventional and by the way very effective.
