I like Obama. I don't agree with everything he says, but then I don't agree with everything Clinton says either. I really don't like the fact that Clinton has such high-stakes corporate backing. I really like the fact that Obama does not. Clinton will be a slave to the corporate hags. And as such, this country keeps getting ruled by the suits.View thread

Now, on the other hand, Hillary should stay in the race because she's running out of money, integrity, support and influence over the superdelegates.
Yes, here in bizzaro-world all is well.

For me personally, the 10 years he taught constitutional law are very significant, because we have lost so much under Bush. His great academic success indicates his fine intellect. While his work choices reveal a real commitment to social justice.
Obama has 10 years in elected office, (3 years in the U.S. Senate and 7 years in the Illinois Senate).
He taught constitutional law for 10 years.
He graduated Harvard Law School magna cum laude.
He was president of the Harvard Law Review.
He worked as a community organizer and as lawyer representing "community organizers, discrimination claims, and voting rights cases".

As for the campaign, I am not aware of the campaign using blogs and if they did they would be much more restricted than I am in their support because Obama run a pretty tight ship with regard to what people on the campaign say when supporting him. I feel no such restrictions. For example I want to continue to feel free to call Hillary dishonest and refer to her lies as lies.
And why would you think the Obama camp is desperate? Are the winners likely to feel desperate? Obama has won 27 to 16 states, Obama has won the popular vote, Obama has won the pledged delegates and Obama will win the Super delegates.

I am actually not drumming up support, which doesn't seem to be a problem for him. I am giving my view and I am countering the outrageous lies and smears that are coming at this great man, with information. That information seems very intimidating to some people. I really don't know why that is.

Obama's wise judgment on subjects such as the specific nature of his opposition to the war in Iraq and his other platform issues are part of the reason that his popularity is soaring as he campaigns across the nation.
Have a nice day!
CAMPAIGN ‘08
Obama said oops on 6 state Senate votes
Barack Obama angered fellow Democrats in the Illinois Senate when he voted to strip millions of dollars from a child welfare office on Chicago’s West Side. But Obama had a ready explanation: He goofed.
“I was not aware that I had voted no,” he said that day in June 2002, asking that the record be changed to reflect that he “intended to vote yes.”
On March 19, 1997, he announced he had fumbled an election-reform vote, “I was trying to vote yes on this, and I was recorded as a no,” he said. The next day, he acknowledged voting “present” on a key telecommunications vote.
He stood on March 11, 1999, to take back his vote against legislation to end good-behavior credits for certain felons in county jails. “I pressed the wrong button on that,” he said.
Obama was the lone dissenter on Feb. 24, 2000, against 57 yeas for a ban on human cloning. “I pressed the wrong button by accident,” he said.
On Nov. 14, 1997, he backed legislation to permit riverboat casinos to operate even when the boats were dockside. The measure, pushed by the gambling industry and fought by church groups whose support Obama was seeking, passed with two “yeas” to spare — including Obama’s. Afterwards, he rose to say, “I’...

Afterwards, he rose to say, “I’d like to be recorded as a no vote,” explaining that he had mistakenly voted for it. Obama would later develop a reputation as a critic of the gambling industry
On June 11, 2002, Obama’s vote sparked a confrontation after he joined Republicans to block Democrats trying to override a veto by GOP Gov. George Ryan of a $2-million allotment for the west Chicago child welfare office.
Afterward, Obama chastised Republicans for their “sanctimony” in claiming that only they had the mettle to make tough choices. A fellow Democrat suddenly seethed with anger. “You got a lot of nerve to talk about being responsible,” said Sen. Rickey Hendon, accusing Obama of voting to close the child welfare office.
Obama replied right away. “I understand Sen. Hendon’s anger. . . . I was not aware that I had voted no on that last — last piece of legislation,” he said.

I have seen the numbers above that you used other places and it would put him in his 50's if they were actual real full tiome positions. Since he did not graduate until he wasover 30 from law school I find those numbers a bit inflated if not the number the actual experience. He has shown no brilliance just an ability to read well and test well since that is all most grades reflect.
But please answer my first question because as an Obama support you do wjhat he does well EVADE questions. Atre you a paid or unpaid campaign worker?

Who knows if Obama is beaten because of bribes and under the table tactics as the Clintons are well known in doing maybe Obama changes parties. The Republicans need a young vile candidate.

Rod, if you worked a project that you really love wouldn't have something to show for it in 30 years? Stop and think about it. Go check and see how many bills she has authored during the time that she has been in the Senate concerning Health Care. Then how many have past. The answer to both is Zero.
And, do you really believe that she is out there for you?
