Would the US be in a better place if Hilary Clinton won instead?

It would certainly be different. I have no love for the Clintons, and while I would almost certainly disagree with her agenda, at least Clinton would make her decision and stick to it. Obama is so weak, and so wishy-washy that he flits this way and that depending on the polls, and the breeze. She would have been a mistake - he was a terrible mistake.
