Barack Obama, the grandson of a World War II vet who fought in Patton's army, is passionate and committed to the issues that affect veterans and their families. Obama has pledged a "zero tolerance" policy to end veteran homelessness.
Obama's campaign claims are not just rhetoric. Important legislative successes in both state and Congress demonstrate real ability "to deal with extremely complex issues, to reach across the aisle and to deal with diverse people."
“It's clear Barack Obama does not have the experience to let the special interests run the government. He wasn't experienced enough to authorize the invasion of Iraq. That's the kind of inexperience I can get used to."
Comparing Obama and Clinton on character, integrity, and what each candidate would do: Barack Obama "represents the very best of who we are, the best of character, of integrity and ideals. And someone who opposed the war from the start."
Obama's approach to problems reflects a liberal libertarianism not shared by any other leading Democrat, certainly not Hillary Clinton. Clinton wants to help us even against our will (like mandating health insurance); Obama will help us help ourselves.
Senate Amendment No. 4882, an amendment to a Pentagon appropriations bill, would have banned the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas. Senator Obama of Illinois voted IN FAVOR of the ban. Senator Clinton of New York voted AGAINST the ban.
Barack Obama has signed the American Freedom Pledge to restore basic Constitutional principles after the battering they have taken during the Bush-Cheney era, leaving Hillary Clinton the only Democratic presidential candidate that has not.
Clinton took in $823,087 from registered lobbyists and members of their firms in 2007. Barack Obama doesn't take money from registered lobbyists, although he received $86,282 from employees of firms that lobby.
