Would she consider giving Obama a major role in her presidency - maybe VP? a Cabinet position?
I really like Clinton, but for now I'm an Obama man -- so I'm curious about how Senator Clinton would respond to two questions of concern to me.
In her first 100 days how will the average person be better off, than he/she is now? What policies will she implement immediately to benefit the middle and lower middle class?
Recent reports have shown an increase in the number of HIV infections among young gay men, especially young gay men of color, what will the new Clinton administration do to fight HIV/AIDS in US communities among populations like this that have been completely neglected by the Bush administration?
I really would consider voting for you in the upcoming election. But I have a serious problem when a person in a leadership postion, will not acknowledge their errors. It seems there is always someone to blame when you can say I was wrong, or simple mistakes in judgements. I have more respect for officials who can stand up and say I WAS WRONG.
What SPEFICALLY are you doing to end situations like the Jena 6 situation. If these young men are made to serve 15 years what will you do to reverse this situation ?
The practice of learned, uninterrupted racism still obscures the analysis and implementation of diplomatic and military actions of the USA. For example, the assumption that tribal governing (whether among tribal people of the USA, Afghanistan or Iraq) is inferior to democratic governing has resulted in dismissive to deadly miscalculations. How will you methodically and practically introduce analysis and action that will highlight that racist assumptions will not drive your administration's diplomatic and military actions?

Your husband has expressed his regret on his personal failure regarding the genocide in Rwanda while he was President. If you become President, what will you do so as not to make the same mistake concerning the crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan?
Senator Clinton I would like to know your plan for addressing the mountain range we call our national debt. How can we reconcile all of our entitlement programs (ex: Medicare and social security for an exploding Boomer population) against our ever increasing debts owed to foreign governments?
I feel economic issues like this must take priority over all other issues save ending the Iraq war.
