3. The key, I believe, is to look into his policy decisions.
He talks a good talk but when you look at his policies, his lack of mandate on health care, his unrealistic tax cuts, his "regulation" of the housing industry, it's mostly fluff. Ask Paul Krugman. Do the analysis, read up on liberal economics. (Not neoliberal, liberal, aka 'socialist' if you want to use a big scary word.)

While both Hillary and Obama are deep in the pockets of the corporate interests, at least Hillary promises to change the way things are, a mandate on health care, only middle class tax cuts but hikes everywhere else, regulation and subsidies of the housing industry.

This sort of analysis goes on deaf ears here, though. I have been flamed on numerous ocassions, called an idiot, without anything backing up such allegations.

But I know policy decisions when I see them, and I know how to sift through talk and true policy.
