Elections in Kenya and the USA

"Kenyan opposition calls for new rallies and sanctions" is the article that Jérémy will deal with on Tuesday January 15th.

Céline will tackle the topic of American caucuses and primaries : Obama vs Clinton.

Both articles deal with political elections. Worlds apart?

In my view, Hilary Clinton has more experience than Barak Obama and she'd better organized. Nevertheless if she's elected that reminds me dynasties.It's like Mr.Bush after Mr Clinton, Mr busch J and Mrs Clinton.Moroever she seems stiff and not so opened as she adorned.
Mr Obama is open-minded and if he's elected that will prove that mentallities have changed.He can bring a new fresh view.
To conclude, as Mrs Clinton sayed in her victory speech: "tonight, every person who voted in the Democratic primary voted for change".

I would not have written 'to conclude' before quoting Mrs Clinton but stressed that both use the same phrasing reminiscent of Nic. Sarkozy's mantra not so long ago!!! He did harp this on, didn't he!

What do you mean 'adorned'?
*She's better organised
*reminds me of..
*mentalities
*fresh means new, so one is enough
*said

Mrs is more experienced... barely. She's forever talking about her experience over Obama, but all she did more is one term as senator? Or does she count the time her husband was in office as 'experience'? But on the other hand, Obama doesn't have much experience either... so whoever is elected won't have much experience. I think they should focus their campagn elsewhere. They have other assets they could use. Of course maybe something else than the color of there skin or their gender. Because inteligence and capability to rule a country isn't based on these either.
I guess I must be a bit hard on these candidates... but then again, talking about politics bugs me, and I get irritated very quickly. So I'll just stop here.

Sorry I forgot a word: I'm talking about Mrs Clinton of course.
And I'm talking about 'the color of their skin' (I should have reread it again...)
