"Democrats ONLY bash Bush because they don't have ideas of their own!"
Why does that sound familiar? Oh yeah;

"Obamites ONLY bash Hillary because Obama doesn't have qualities of his own!"


Hey Obama people, what are Obama's policies and qualities that put that lie to rest?

1. Being opposed to the Iraq war from the beginning is a good start.

4. Uh, Hello? He wasn't a Senator then, he didn't vote
He gave a speech. That't it and then said he didn't know how he would have voted if he had been in the Senate.

7. It was the cry from the 'right' for years, now Clinton supporters are using it

9. Both statements are false.
Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 03:50 PM by tekisui
Obama has brought many new voters to the Democratic Party and energized the electorate like no one in decades. He is composed, intelligent and articulate. He knows how to handle himself, and would bring new respect to this country, from Americans and our thinning allies.


He would close Gitmo, revive Habeas, and look at every chimpy signing statement.

He would to bring our troops out of Iraq as soon as possible.

10. I was bashing Hillary before Obama became the front-runner
perhaps this will summarize why

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7pw0cFRTLE

What is there to like about Obama?

Taught Constitutional Law at the U of Chicago
Helped to create an Earned Income Credit in Illinois
Helped to pass a law requiring interrogations to be videotaped
worked as a community organizer
Harvard Law Review
proposes refundable tax credits rather than tax credits that will help those above the median income
opposed the Iraq war just like I did from the start
is supported by millions of small donors versus large corporate donors
brings new people to the party and will follow a 50 state strategy that helps the whole party
