He has been criticizing Hillary for her vote in favor of labeling the Iranian National Guard a terrorist organization, but interestingly enough Barack Obama never showed up to make that vote, when all the other candidates at the debate did, never spoke against until the vote was already, and now we find out he held the same position as her?
“Who said this?
“Such a reduced but active presence will also send a clear message to hostile countries like Iran and Syria that we intend to remain a key player in this region.” Later in the same speech, he said: “Make no mistake, if the Iranians and Syrians think they can use Iraq as another Afghanistan or a staging area from which to attack Israel or other countries, they are badly mistaken. It is in our national interest to prevent this from happening.”
George Bush? Nope.
The latest from Dick Cheney? Guess again.
Language from Kyl-Lieberman? Sorry.
That was Senator Obama in late 2006 making the case for why maintaining a military force in Iraq is necessary to constrain Iran's ambitions. But that was then.
This is now: Stagnant in the polls and struggling to revive his once-buoyant campaign, Senator Obama has abandoned the politics of hope and embarked on a journey in search of a campaign issue to use against Senator Clinton. Nevermind that he made the very argument he is now criticizing back in November 2006. Nevermind that he co-sponsored a bill designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a global terrorist group back in April. Nevermind that his colleague from Illinois – Dick Durbin – voted the same way as Senator Clinton on Kyl-Lieberman and said “If I thought there was any way it could be used as a pretense to launch an invasion of Iran I would have voted no.”
Today, in order to justify his opposition to Kyl-Lieberman, Senator Obama says that such language is bellicose and gives the President a blank check to take the country to war.
But if Senator Obama really believed this measure gave the President a blank check for war, shouldn’t he have been in the Senate on the day of the vote, speaking out, and fighting against it? Instead he did nothing, remained totally silent, skipped the vote and spoke out only after the vote”

Its politics as usual. Just never really taking a position. When I read Obamas pledge of allegiance to AIPAC I knew he had zero integrity.

I was beginning to lose faith in our countrymen until I read the answers on this post, now I think there might be some hope left, as everyone doesn't seem to be brain washed into being P.C. and you folks evidently did your home work as you are 100 % ccorrect in your analysis of obama, he is a sheep in wolfs clothing, and don't ever doubt that he is as Muslim as his dad was maybe even more so, also under Sharia law he would be killed and he is fully aware of that ,yet, he takes no precautions to prevent some Muslim from blowing him up doe's he? so I conclude he is not worried, but, we should be very worried we don't know how many ignorant and uninformed people are out there and Will vote for this evil man,
after all he was elected to congress, and other Muslims have been elected to our highest political offices,so lets all pray he don't get elected, and I certainly am not supporting Hillary,

Baracka Hussein Obama,Jr. is a fraud, and is unfit for Congress or the presidency. His rhetoric continues to contradict his actions. Hussein Obama has the worst voting record of any Democrat. Hussein Obama is in possession of impressive credentials, however, his acts and rhetoric denote someone critically lacking in knowledge and experience, a naive and contradictory novice, and if he somehow becomes the nominee (God Forbid)) for his party, he will be no match for the heavyweights such as Giuliani and Romney. Hussein Obama's public rejection of our American flag, and his refusal to respect the flag during the playing of our national anthem, should be sufficient grounds for his removal from the race. These despicable acts should confirm his disloyalty to our government and citizens. Is Hussein Obama so naive that he doesn't understand the words, respect and loyalty, and to whom due. Another lie, is Hussein Obama's religion, that being if his claim to be a Christian is true, then he is an apostate of the Muslim faith, and the penalty is death for abandonment of the Islamic faith under Sharia, Islamic religious law. Wake up voters, do your research and investigation on all candidates, especially devious personalities such as Hussein Obama, the closet Muslim! Shalom!

I have little faith in Obama. I see nothing there. I am impressed that he tries, but totally unimpressed otherwise. Obama is desperate. He will never be the front-runner.
I think Hillary is right: If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.....and I do not twist or construe that as being Gender Orientated... I see that as Hillary has taken alot of HEAT...from alot of people, and stood strong. If anyone can take Heat...its Hillary...even though, she doesn't bake cookies!
Obama is a done-deal., so let him pour it on, pile it up... whatever melts his butter.

Your keen insight and crystal clear exposure of this Obama "The Masked Muslim's" (as he is being referred to) Double-Speak, unmitigated hypocrisy and fraud is right on the money.
Which when he has to face (if ever) the "withering" assault on his indefensible positions by "any one" of the Republican candidates for President he'll fold, utterly.
The carnage that will result when Hillary has to face a Rudy Giuliani in a "REAL" debate might be too graphic for children and the faint of heart to watch!
Osama Obama and/or Hillary Lightening Rod" Clinton as President?? Where In God's name is their experience?
Where's their credentials to be Commander In Chief?? Hillary managed 8 years of her husband's "Bimbo Eruptions"?
She's done "0" for New York State ... Nada ... Zip Nothing!
Compare that "0" to Rudy Giuliani and what he did for
New York City in his tenure as Mayor alone ..."No Contest".
Obama has done allot more than missed/skipped a Vote
he missed the boat completely.

How can we Americans with good conscious vote for Obama. He is not experience and as much as he is trying to put down Hillary and avoid the issues...lets face it there is no comparison-He is not experience enough and in a way I must say he just likes pointing the finger to avoid answering questions-he has spent so much time putting Hillary down instead of talking about the issues and his plans. Someone that does this is only avoiding answers he must give. I do not see Hillary wasting any time putting anyone down for the exception of BUSH who desrves it- No please be true to yourself and do not vote for Obama we will be in a worse position than we are now.
As much as you can say about the Clintons
we were sure in better position with Bill than we are now. Hillary is the strongest candidate and she will bring us back to the America we once knew. Vote for Hillary!
