Thanks AKA Smith...
I'm getting worn out with this whole line of argument. If one does not stop the boys in their tracks when they are being sexist and show some solidarity then they are going along with the boys. I really don't subscribe to this idea that the youth know best and when I hear a parent say my child brought me to Obama, I think to myself well, that person really has no stake in the kind of economic change that Hillary could bring.Neither parent nor child has been up against the kind of economic hardship that many people who want a proven leader have experienced. Just do a little homework on Obama's economic advisors, one of them has written papers on ending Social Security for pete's sake.Giving great speeches does not make one grounded in the economy.Obama thinks policy papers are boring.
As far as the war goes Hillary is no neocon, she is a realist. Obama came out against the war at a safe antiwar rally in a safe liberal district of Chicago. Since being in the Senate he has voted exactly as Hillary has in regards to Iraq. Anyone who thinks Obama will get us out sooner than Hillary or even McCain is engaging in wishful thinking.Anyone who thinks they are moral and also thinks we can just pull out despite the wreakage we have wrought and the lives that would be put in danger needs to go over and tell that to everyday Iraq people who are scared to death.No we are stuck over there for the forseeable future.
