13. And that's why it will be great to have Obama
Edited on Wed May-07-08 03:31 PM by truedelphi
Hillary is very good at talking about all that she has accomplished, but just what did she accomplish??

She wonked out a policy on Health Care that was thousands of pages long, and then pretty much folded when the GOP opposed it. It also didn't get ANY popular support because of her statements that "it will only cost the average family with a $ 24,000 income a mere $ 4,000 a year."

She voted for the IWR, and she wants to nuke Iran.

She did things for various children's health programs, but Obama is for those same things.

Here's Obama:
His bold legislative work on the Illinois Death Penalty, and how he made a difference between life and death:

His sponsorship of a bill that brought health insurance to 150,000, including 70,000 uninsured Children, again, during his time serving in the Illinois Statehouse:

His work on both the Immigration bill during his time in the US senate and his sponsorship of Ethics legislation (something he did both while in the State House, and in the Senate) that called for some of the most impactful reform regarding lobbyists since Watergate (as he likes to term it):

I also am of the firm belief that Michelle Obama truly will never ever forget her middle income upbringing. I think having the African American community constantly reminding the First Couple of the bad hand many people in America are dealt will make a profound difference.

Whereas right now Bill Clinton's experiences are shady things like hanging out with Russian mineral rights developers.
