Obama's attraction is that he does not represent the politicians of old. People feel that he is the first (and only) politician that ever listens directly to what the public wants. Can he solve all the problems America faces today? I seriously doubt that Jesus Christ could.
But there's something to be said about his good judgment as to why he did not support invading Iraq, and not supporting NAFTA.
The ability to show good decision making ability is very high on my priority list, Gary; but I cannot speak for all Obama supporters.
As far as achievements, I think Katz said it best: Niether Obama nor Clinton have any achievements. Hillary can claim that she was married to a President; but is that really an achievement or experience? By that definition, Monica Lewinsky hasmore than all three candidates put together!
This is why Obama campaigns on the "good judgment" platform. He has shown that he has superior judgment on the major issues of the campaign. The other two will always try to say "experience". But what experience do they really have, besides McCain being a former POW?
As far as Michigan and Forida are concerned; you are correct. But that's assuming that they will be included. I really don't know how the Dems set themselves up for that mess; or how they will solve it. I know Hillary is banking on the inclusion of these two states. Will it happen? Your guess is as good as mine. But until t happens-if it happens at all- Hillary really didn't gain much overall by this last "Super Tuesday". I think she kept some delegates from defecting; but she gained little to nothing overall. |
Obama's claim about Iraq is easy to say when he wasn't elected at the time. Everyone was lied to when they voted for the war in Iraq. He did however vote against bringing troops home and leaving a smaller force there to help the Iraqi's in 2006. Iraq is not a popular thing now which is why he now claims he doesn't support it. If it was popular he'd be all over the place saying how we need to stay..why are people so easily fooled?? As for NAFTA he also wasn't elected at the time and neither was Hilary was she suppose to run around the country saying she didn't support her husband the President on this issue??? BTW Whilst NAFTA has had a negative effect on states like Ohio its had a positive effect in places like CA. It has balanced itself out.
Exactly what is 'new' about Obama??..other then he has slightly less actual experience then Hilary and has no legislative accomplishments to speak of. |
