Reply #115: She simply stated the OBVIOUS

and the only possible RATIONAL position on this. You cannot let what you say during a campaign 100% dictate what you will do once 1. you have all the facts that a president does, and a candidate does not; and 2. you deal with the situation that exists almost one year from now, that may be quite different from the situation now. Anybody that would state that they will do exactly what they claim during a campaign. IRRESPECTIVE of the facts at the point when the policy has to be implemented is either an idiot or completely disingenuous (also known as lying through their teeth). The Clintons are not idiots. Draw your own conclusions.

The only thing that I do not like about all this is that it should be a non-issue, and the Obama camp should defend what Power said, instead of being intimidated into distancing themselves from this completely reasonable position. I do not think they are doing that, and IMHO it is wrong.

As to what Clark and Rubin have said, as others have noted, shame on them!
