I think that the hispanic immigrants should have every opportunity that every other immigrant in the history of this great nation has had in the past. One thing every other immigrant had to do is learn english, they should be no different. As far as America becoming bi-lingual if it happens it happens, but that should not change the fact that we have always been an english speaking nation, and have always expected immigrants from other countries to learn english.

Hillary is talking too much, as usual,SHE SHOULD GO BACK TO HER KITCHEN AND BAKE THE COOKIES-she was not assest when her husband was in office.
action often do not speak louder than words because words can be defined, actions are final(if you hit someone in the face, that is finally)if you discuss the issue there will be a different result.
Obama is the person for the new generation and we elders need to sit down and if asked give their opinion.

How can we trust a candidate who can't even keep agreements within her own party? Yhe Democratic candidates agreed not to campaign in Florida. Hillary Clinton broke that trust. She lied?

Hillary Clinton is in a very unique situation: her husband was president. None of the other candidates had a spouse in the highest office of the United States government. Of course the other candiates have their spouses support, but because of Mr. Clinton''s position and support it "seems" to cause more attention to be shed on Hillary''s platform. Actually, because of her 8 year residence in the White House, she has an excellent insiders vision of what the position entails. I look at Hillary as America''s answer to Margaret Thatcher!
