| Reply | Permalink obama is right. he was misquoted, not contradicting himself. it's crytal-clear that obama was&is much more forcefully imposed to the war than the almighty mrs clinton who we must, of course, all blindly worship because her husband was such a popular pres. +ladies 'man+because she's so decidedly fake, flippant&self-serving. obama was+is more worldly+discerning+he caught on to how that'll spiral iraq into a civil war - something called well-based+extremely intelligent foresight+intuition, not just the "hollow charisma+idealism" billhilary purports barack obama to be. behind great actions are wise decisions. and what about hilary's "deep+abiding opposition" to the notion of nuking la quaida? she said she wouldnt rule that out. is that not similar to bombing every country you think the wmd's were hidden in? how about nuking al quaida+starting a little thing called ww3? then we could thank hilary clinton. or thank her for senselessly penalizing those who can't afford healthcare. i suppose that if health costs are lowered+poor ppl still can't afford it, then, going by hilary's wise judgement they are not affording it rudely and "on purpose" +must be punished?
