Hillary's supporters have been saying she and Obama are exactly the same for months now. It's been effective.

The differences are in the details. He passed ethics reform and doesn't take money from pacs and lobbyists. It has been reported that she was yelling at Russ Feingold over McCain-Feingold legislation, telling him to grow up.

His economic stimulus includes every person in the country, hers focuses on the mortgage industry.

Her health care plan relies on end of the year tax credits, his relies on current subsidies.

He provides a refundable $4,000 tax credit, applied for by checking a box on your tax form - she offers another vague tax credit like the Hope credit that hasn't helped at all.

It's the details that matter. He does things differently, he passes real packages that help real working people. Hillary just doesn't know we exist. In her world, there's Gates rich, welfare poor, and the professional middle class. She doesn't know what helps the professional middle class doesn't do beans for working people. Obama knows the difference. Like Michelle says, they aren't that far from normal.
