    Obama and Iraq

    1. All this talk about Obama being against the Iraq war from the start only gives Clinton an opportunity to bring up the fact that he's inexperienced and was merely a state senator at the time.

    2. It's a hell of a lot easier to be against something when you don't actually have a say in the matter. Was it really a difficult position as a nobody Illinois state senator? Who out there knows how many state senators were against the Iraq war from the start?

    3. Didn't the Obama campaign say it was outrageous that Clinton would use an add like that? But it's okay to run the exact same "fear-mongering" ad if you're the second one to do it? Isn't it hypocritical to applaud Obama for copy-catting an ad he just denounced?

    4. To quote a poster the other day, "If Obama farted I think you all would applaud."
