    Obama Supporters

    Why do Obama supporters assume that anyone asking questions about Obama is an upset Clinton supporter. It may be that we want answers not rhetoric. Then when they refer you to web sites it is either Obama's site where he runs off all the press that supports him, or they send you to places like the Huffington Post, CBS news, The Atlantic. Opinion pages that support Obama. Why not go to the actual pages where the bills are at, those that show his vote on bills, where they started and where they (the bills) ended. Call me stupid if that is as far as your thought process goes, but if a read a news article by someone I want to go back and see what their previous articles say, do they show a pattern, do they write glowing pieces on one candidate, and hit pieces on the other or do they give even handed news. That is the only way to know if they are campaigning for one candidate or are actually giving you the facts. Anyone who calls Obama a novice at politics doesn't know the facts. Politics is his game all the way back to his first campaign, even before that what do you think a community organizer does? serve meals to homeless people, help people pay their heating bills, no they use the political system.
