thanks to the other poster who dug this up to dispell the "experience" myth!!

Misleading title in many ways, but it might suck a few Clintonistas

I Refuse to Buy into the Obama Hype

I counted nine education bills, but it's getting late and I've got to get my kids ready for bed.

As I mentioned earlier, Clinton is a frequent co-sponsor on many of Obama's bills. So is Ted Kennedy. So are a number of Republicans.

Finally, Obama appears to have a better record last year in the Senate on getting his bills and amendments passed than does Clinton. I've listed everything that passed the Senate for each them at the end in boxes. But check out Thomas.loc.gov for yourself. I may have missed something.

In my eyes Obama is the superior choice in every way.
He cares about more of the issues that matter to me. Kids and health care are important but so is the issue of global warming, on which Clinton introduced not a single bill last year.


Obama is a leader. With bigger majorities in Congress, much of his agenda should sail through. He can inspire this country to change course on so many things, from health care to global warming, where attitudes have to be changed first. I remember Bill Clinton's endless laundry lists of small, focus group approved initiatives. For those who say Hillary will not govern like Bill did, I respond that the people who were doing the market testing of his proposed policies were Dick Morris, of course, and Mark Penn, who is now running Hillary's campaign.


It's Obama for me! I just sent him $100. My first donation this election.


Yes, We Can!

Hillary's experience is getting more and more absurd. Just like her dodging bullets in Bosnia which was completely a fabrication.

She's trying to have her gullible supporters believe she opposed NAFTA when it turns out she was it's biggest cheerleader.

Its funny how people that post on the board are not very objective. They already have their minds made up. If you don't like Obama don't vote for him. If you don't like Clinton don't vote for her.

Make sure your standing for something other than hype of the news media. I personally respect peoples differences when it comes to politics. I don't respect people who speak as a media brainwashed citizen.

They're all Socialists (MARXISTS): Anti-Americans!!!

That any of you would consider that trash says a lot about your lack of knowledge of American history.

McCain is anti-American, too.
