21. First of all, your premise is silly and secondly, here's how Obama directly affected me
It's rather preposterous to try to insinuate that in order to support a certain candidate, you have to have had a personal relationship and or a very direct experience to make you choose for a Presidential candidate. This isn't some frat house where we're nominating the Beer Captain.

I can tell you that Obama has directly affected me because of the valuable time and investment I have put into grassroots efforts for his campaign. It worked fantastically here in Wisconsin. I got about 4,000 people to sign up to volunteer since last spring. I have met Obama on several occasions in Iowa and seen him speak in rallies and meetings where I perfectly understand why he should and will be our next President.

I have had the great honor in meeting many who support him and especially people who have known him since he was a state Senator. They are the biggest fans. They can't fathom how someone who has worked directly in their community now has the chance to be President of the United States.

During these times, I have met many who know people who lost their jobs thanks to Bill Clinton. I have run into many people who have loved ones in Iraq or where there themselves who were sent into an unneeded war that was voted for by Hillary Clinton.

So many people just don't like the Clintons for many reasons. It is indeed time to turn the page.

Like Hillary said, they will be fine. With their links and investments with outsourcing interests and Bill's links to uranium dealers in the former Soviet Union and making some serious money on their behalf.

99% of Obama supporters don't hate Hillary. They just know she is not the best candidate running. And from the last 11 primary dates, she is batting a big zero. Support whoever you want.
