When Bill Clinton ran for office he did what every other candidate does, promise the world and then forget everything he said once he got into office. The clue that everyone seems to ignore is that his promises did not reflect his record, and that is the exact path that Hillary Clinton is following. She voted for the war and she has not stood up to Dick Chaney's and George Bush's policies. What makes people think she will do that if she were to get elected for president. Barack Obama's record on the other hand is clear. He stood up against the war, even when it was a vastly unpopular thing to do in Washington and he has stood up to the status quo, something Hillary Clinton can not claim.I have listen to several Hillary Clinton speeches and heard her state things like "Europe is obligated to help us with Iraq, because we helped them after World War II". Those are inflammatory remarks and will get us know where in International politics. We need to re-earn the respect of the World by cleaning up our own internal issues and by showing an honest desire to be better International citizens. We need to pay our UN dues and build coalitions, rather then shun the World and act as if we were the chosen ones with our noses up in the air. Barack Obama on the other hand suggests that we need to get the various factions together and get them to talk to one another and make a plan together. That is a path that the World community can respect. We can't tell Europe or anyone what to do, we need to earn their respect. Once we do that they will want to help us. Those are things Obama stands for. He talks about hope, and that hope is based on a solid path forward that helps the poor and middle income people of this country and pays for it by reducing corporate crime and spending on wars that have no ethical purpose. Barack Obama gets people together and makes them want to work together and build coalitions. Barack Obama's economic plans are also vastly superior to Hillary Clinton's plans, because he is not afraid to take on the backward economic policies of corruption and deceit, commonly referred to as "Reganomic's". Any basic book on economics states that the economic value of a dollar given to someone who will spend it is far more valuable than giving it to someone who has so much they couldn't spend it in ten lifetimes. That is the government helping capitalism by helping the less fortunate, verses bribery, deceit and corruption. How is it that the rhetoric of the past 28 years has turned reality on its head to this extent is beyond me. That is the one true miracle of the Regan/Bush legacy! If you have any questions about Barack Obama's ideas and goals, I recommend reading this page:
