Campaign promises & lies
[Read the article: Obama's surge extends down the Potomac]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You only have to look at the 'REAL" record of Hillry's experience and votes to understand her promises will not be fulfilled.
Obama is not promising HE is going to make changes easily. In fact he is saying it takes the engagement of the citizens to get change. Look at Obama's record in both the IL state Senate and in the U.S. Senate and can see the policies he supports are backed up by "real" experience and actions.
Foe those who think Clinton will help the middle and working class based on her "experience"(husband's) in the 90s. If you look at her voting record her 7 years in the U.s Senate and Bill's record as president, which she claims for her own experience, you will find neither did much to advance the middle and working class.

Hillary claims Obama's solutions
[Read the article: Clinton: "My opponent gives speeches, I offer solutions"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Time and time again I have seen Hillary try to imitate Obama. I remember Obmaa talking about Green jobs long before the economy went sour. Anyone who says Obama is not being specific has not been listening or doing their home work. Hillary has not been anymore specific, she has just made BIG promises. In fact Obama's speech in WI was pretty much economic outline is the "Economic" section of his 60 page plan. This plan has been available on his web site since IA.
Hillary should have stuck to her own speaking style instead of trying to imitate Obama. She just cannot deliver an inspirational speech, so now she is criticizing Obama for his ability or fire up a LARGE crowds. Obama's style is to fire them up, then give then follow up with specifics at smaller targeted audiences.
I wonder how Hillary can be "ready on day one". If organizing her cabinet will been anything like her campaign which is falling apart a the seams. I have my doubts. ON the other hand Obama has a well orgnized grassroots machine which continues to build. Building well organized grass roots campaign is much like building a good cabinet, it requires excellent leadership skills and organized, strategic support management.

Hillary's debate nonsense
[Read the article: Obama response to Clinton debate ad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Considering they have a debate in 2 weeka isn't Hillary's argument rather pointless. Hillary cannot afford to advertise because of mismanaged campaign and now she wants free TV time wtih a debate. She is just upset because OBAMA is drawing record crowds at his Rallies for Change.
Hillary's debate Ad resembled one of those late night Used Car ads. Obama's Ad is very tasteful and to the point.

Good poltical strategy
[Read the article: Obama response to Clinton debate ad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama is not afraid to Debate he has the upper hand right now. He is a good political strategist. Why should he give Hillary free TV time. OBAMA has a real advantage right now. He has more delegates from popular votes. Super delegates are lining up behind him now. He has a LOT more money and better organized campaign.
Even to catchup with Obama, Hillary would have to win BIG on March 4th,and she has not done that in many states. On Super Tuesday Obama won IL by 62 pts. In NY Hillary only won 17 pts. In CA she only won by 9 pts. OBAMA has won more races by larger % margins than Hillary.
March 4 will be interesting. I just hope Hilary is gracious enough to drop out if she looses Mar 4th.

Why I choose Obama
[Read the article: Getting through these dark times]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]One of the issues I looked at very closly when choosing a candidate I would support was foreign policy. I don't think we need a strong "Commander in Chief, we need a person who is bright and capable of thinking in new ways about foreign policy and capable finesse when it comes to diplomayy. That would be Senator Obama.
When the Bush administration was whipping up up patriotic fear and I saw Democrats in Congress, including Senator Clinton going along with an invasion of Iraq, I wondered where is a sane voice in all of this. There was one sane voice interviewed on PBS "News Hour", who spoke of deplomacy and predicted the outcome of this war. That was - Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Adviser under President Carter. I have always admired his foreign policy expertise and he has endorsed Obama and is also on his advisory team.
When voters say Obama has no substance it really proves to me these voters have not done their homework. Obama has over 20 foreign policy experts, who have endorsed him. Former generals,intelligence officials, several former U. S diplomats and UN evoy,. Some junior foreign policy experts from the Clinton administration.
Obama has done his homework,not only on domestic policies but foreign policy. He has a keen knowledge of historical foreign relations which is a good foundations to build a fresh new approach to foreign relations policy. We need more than just a return to the 90s.
