TWENTY REASONS WHY OBAMA GETS THE NOD


SOMEONE ASKED WHY VOTE FOR OBAMA? TWENTY QUICK REASONS

1.Obama, all-tolled, has more legislative experience than Hillary. (10 years vs 6 years)
2.Obama
opposed the war, Hillary authorized it. (Recent estimates put the total
war cost at nearly 3 TRILLION dollars. Has this not undermined the
economy?)
3.He opposed NAFTA, she supported it. The aftermath of which was 3 MILLION American manufacturing jobs lost.
4.He
is respected and endorsed by senior Democratic Congressmen who have
worked with both Clinton and Obama (Kennedy, Dodd, Kerry) and have
clearly chosen to endorse him over her.
5.Obama is far more
authentic than Hillary, who seems, at times, disingenuous. (she'll
shake hands one day, spew vitriol the next)
6.Hillary is beholdened
to Lobbyists and Special Interest groups. She takes more money than any
other candidate in the race, Rep. or Dem. And this indicates who's
interests she will prioritize and serve while in office.
7.Hillary
has a lot of baggage, including allowing corruption to reign in her own
marriage and her shady and questionable involvement with Walmart and
Whitewater. How will her government be immune from corruption? It won't.
8.Hillary has more pork, Earmarks, in her budget (360 MILLION DOLLARS) than almost any other congressperson.
9.Hillary, unfortunately, will have Bill Clinton as her de facto VP.
10.Obama
does NOT engage in smear campaign tactics (even when attacked) that
serve to reduce and divide the entire party, as Hillary has, does and
is doing. Many of these belittling and spurious attacks shed more light
on Hillary, than they do her opponent. Just imagine if Hillary was the
man, and Obama the woman. People would be in an UPROAR.
11.Obama is even tempered, Hillary, unfortunately, is not. She, as stated, is prone to outbursts.
12.Obama
has run a far more efficient campaign, Hillary's has been a financial
disaster. Hillary started with 100 million dollars from corporate
donors, and still went broke. Obama has over 1 Million contributions
from every day people.
13.Obama inspires people with optimism
("From the bottom up; activate the American populace") ", Hillary
motivates people out of fear. (3AM advertisements)
14.Obama is
inclusive of the American people and their aspirations ("yes WE CAN") ,
Hillary tends to be divisive and exclusive. ("Well those states just
don't matter")
15.Obama can work with Republicans (who happen to
despise Hillary) The result of which? Obama is more likely to get
legislation PASSED!
16. In most major polls, Obama beats McCain, while Hillary gets defeated..
17.
Obama won the last debate according to a survey taken by MSNBC on their
website. (60 percent Obama, 20 percent Clinton, rest undecided) And
really, Obama has won the past three debates.
18. According to
Rollingstone Magazine, Hillary Clinton receives more money from DRUG
COMPANIES than any member currently in Congress. Who will she serve?
19.
Hillary Clinton hasn't release her Tax Returns for public viewing in
SIX years, which leads me to believe there's much to hide.
20.
Hillary's use of a "kitchen sink" strategy defines her own as well as
her campaign's character. She is a prime advocate of using "gutter
politics", even to the extent of risking destroying the entire
Democratic ticket to advance her aims. She even went to the despicable
extent of elevating John McCain -- who is George Bush's proxy -- above
Barack Obama in a commander and chief comparison? BUT, she would love
him as her VP?

That is about as low as a Democrat can get..
