It's fitting that MOVE On endorsed Obama [View All]

For one, in the debate I saw how Clinton used the wedge issue of Latino against African Americans. I was hoping she wouldn't go there and she did. Black man has job taken away by undocumented worker. Wow! Obama's response of not scapegoating is befitting a candidate of change.

Move On voters decided that Clinton has too much baggage for the general and she resembles the divisive politics of old. She is probably a nice woman but she is too heavily entrenched in washington politics.

Her not being able to answer the question about the Levin amendment and how she came to vote for the Iraq War in which scores of people have been killed or wounded (4000 Americans killed - 1 million Iraqis killed -some 75,000 injured(including head injuries) probably contributed to so many voters turning away from her.

This question of how she arrived at her vote has been raised over and over again since 2003 and it is now 2008 and she has no clue how to answer this question. That is confounding. Republicans with their tricks are going to have it in for her just like they did for Kerry. He didn't know how to answer that question either.

And lastly, Obama spoke out in opposition to the war when it was unpopular to do so. He doesn't have to defend a vote he didn't cast and that's becoming to Move On members. They saw the debate and said, she believes she is ready to be president on day one and Obama countered with it is better to be right on day one.

That is the stuff of real presidents and Move on Members who are "progressives" as in moving forward saw this in Obama.
