    I guess I don't believe anyone is perfect. Not Obama or Clinton.

    I voted for Bill twice so obviously scandals don't keep me from voting for someone.

    I assume you support Hillary, so you must be immune to this garbage as well.

    That's why it smells so much like bullshit when Clinton supporters claim they can't vote for Obama for things that don't even come close to what the Clintons have been accused of over the years.

    I'm not going to go through the Clinton scandals greatest hits; but if none of their baggage gives you pause, I sincerely doubt that anything Obama has been accused of would give a moment's thought.

    If Hillary Clinton was squeaky clean, I guess we could understand why the mildest taint on Obama would be a problem for you. But Obama has a long, long way to go to reach the scandal level of the Clintons.

    So either corruption bothers you a great deal, and you are not a Clinton supporter; or you're a hypocite.
