30. I guess I can see about two of those.
Basically, your post boils down to, "I think Obama is naive and arrogant."

Fair enough, that's a personal call on your part. Sometimes I feel like that about Hillary.

But I don't see what you see, and in policy terms, I think you're either deluding yourself or being dishonest. Hillary is a hawk, and even the right wing acknowledges this. It's like pulling teeth to get her to make commitments to end wars or not to start more. When she does, they're always couched in very careful language, like, "I'll start to withdraw troops within the first 6 months." Hell, send home 100 soldiers, and you've fulfilled that promise. BFD.

Comparing Rezko with Hillary's history of corrupt donor scandals, and Bill's, I just don't see how you can say with a straight face that you're supporting her because you think she's the cleaner candidate.

You're free to make your choice, though, however you wish. Thanks for sharing your point of view with us.
