Thanks to his experience teaching Constitutional law, we don’t see Obama supporting a ban on flag burning or waging a campaign to censor video games. There are also distinct differences between the two on issues regarding presidential power and secrecy.

His experience as a community organizer is largely responsible for Obama being able to beat the supposedly invulnerable Clinton machine. In addition, this is probably responsible for him not taking the same top-down approach to solving problems.

Clinton has been outright lying about Obama’s positions in her mailers and campaign speeches. This is certainly a smear campaign–not “pointing out the obvious.”

As for why so many bloggers support Obama, its largely because he’s the only acceptable non-Clinton candidate. He is the only option which isn’t essentially a third term for George Bush’s style of government.

I remain completely baffled by the passion for Obama. A mediocre young candidate with a rather cobbled together record gift for impassioned rhetoric—i.e., an ideal candidate (maybe) for the VP spot, but with no background, connections, or special knowledge to fit him for the highest office. Not to mention a clique of advisers who include some with what I’d call strongly non-progressive values.

So many bloggers I like and respect are pro-Obama that I feel there must be something behind the image. I just don’t see it. I must add that I don’t loooooove Hillary, but I respect her.

I don’t think she’s running a ’smear’ campaign, so much as pointing out the obvious. Obviously those who love Obama will find this difficult to swallow. But if he gets the nomination—as it looks as if he might—they had best get hardened to it. The campaign is already starting to self-destruct internally, with his advisers going off the reservation.

The former president should not campaign for his wife. There is a code of conduct that former presidents should adhere to. The former president Bush watched his son run for office and yet we got no campaigning or no ill words. Former president Clinton over stepped his boundaries.
Lastly, Black America should WAKE UP!!! Bill Clinton the last time I checked Was A WHITE MALE!!! Who during his time in office never really did anything extraordinary to help black people. So why is it that some in leadership think He was the first black president. Absolutely CRAZY!!!

Be smart; go for one who can bring Americans together.

Resorting to such smear campaigns would make the Democratic candidate become just like the Republican. We don’t beat the Republicans by being like them. There’s no need to resort to a smear campaign when Obama could campaign on the real differences.

Someone who lies like Hillary during the campaign will lie once in office, and will not win the respect of the world.

Obama has better plans than Clinton to solve our problems without bringing this type of dishonesty to the White House.

Clinton’s experience doesn’t say much for her as she has been wrong so often. She has been wrong in her approach to health care, wrong in her support for the war, wrong in her pandering to the right wing, and wrong in her nanny state philosophy of government.

Besides, how do you know what she will do once in office? She’s shown herself to be a liar, and therefore we cannot trust what she says. We don’t really know what she will do once in office.
