Obama's good judgment?
Obama voted for a gas holiday while in the IL Senate. Now he says that was a mistake. Does that show good judgment? Flame away youngsters, your candidate is a flip flopper. LOL

10. She said she'd vote the same way in the same situation. That's the opposite of learning.

12. cliffordu, you'll get me into more trouble with the Clinton people than
I already am if I answer you with the laughter I read your comment with.

Howdy, and happy springtime. I think this damn primary is gong to end soon.

I look at the photo of her in that truck and I think, "This is somebody who simply doesn't get it."

3. No, it shows he's smarter after eight years.
And he sees it for what it was - a failed plan. Just like now.

11. At least his experience was real... and he learned from it
Hillary is just spouting election smack.. she has no intention of
even proposing an actual bill much less fighting to get it passed.
Blah blah blabbity blah.

27. I'm not a youngster; people make mistakes and hopefully learn from them.
Even presidential candidates. Those who don't are the problem. Like voting for the Iraq war, then talking about obliterating Iran.

28. You know what BAD JUDGMENT would be? Voting to allow a psycho to go
to war against an innocent country, sniveling that you were tricked into doing so, then voting to allow the psycho to go to war AGAIN AGAINST ANOTHER BLAMELESS COUNTRY.

Does it GET any worse than that?

29. Obama is a politician, and politicians speak from both
sides of their mouths... I have no candidate, but will support and vote for the Dem Nominee... I can't support either candidate right now, but will when the time comes....
