Here is what I see. Obama is running against our government. Hillary
is running against this administration. If you think about it, that's what all the rehtoric sounds like. Obama sounds more like a Republican running against the government while Hillary runs a campaign that seeks to get the government to do more for the people. Remember Clinton/Gore were for "Putting people first. A government that works for the people." If Hillary can capitalize on this message it will make a good distinction. Too many people rely on government for assistance and some for existence. Why berate "the government" when FDR showed everyone how government can really help people. It's this administration and its policies that are working against the people. Yet Obama and the Republicans keep lumping it all together to get after the "big bad government." It's time for the Clinton campaign to explain just what government does do for the people. And they should do it before the Obama folks get this message to him.

2. Oh, so Obama wants to get rid of Social Security, industry regulations and public education?
Really, I had no idea until you posted that.

Good thing you've got his voting record to hold up in support of those positions!

3. BALONEY!
You need to re-think your stuff.


Listen to an hour interview with Obama a few years ago and see if you can live with your silly comment above. Please do yourself the favor of listening, looking at what you have in terms of formal education in political science to bring to this, and re-write this silly thread first post you made above.

"I don't want to be a passive observer ..." Obama.

12. Hillary is fine with things the way they are.
She's all hat and no cattle. She's a talker, not a doer. Someone who would prefer to dictate how things should be and not be inclusive. Betting on Hillary is betting on the establishment. More war and more consolidation of wealth at the top.

13. *snicker*
sometimes you just have to stand in awe of stupidity. This post doesn't make even the most basic sense.

14. It is a problem is that most Americans,including Obama, Clinton and McCain, don't care...
that their government is guilty of crimes against humanity.
