Answer 2

There is only one difference, one is a black man, and she is a white female. Other than that, they are really on the same track behind the scene on the platforms. I also look for a huge change later, a Clinton/Obama ticket to run together, they need each other to win, and they both wear pants, but since Hillary has wore the pants longer (being 60 yrs old) than Obama, she will not let him be President, she will have to be or she will have a nervous breakdown. Obama will have to take the VP job. Me, I would not vote for them separate or together. They both will try to force us into socialism. Obama has played the race card and now Hillary has played the gender card, tells me a lot. These two are not good for America.

Answer 3

It's hard to tell what, if any, political differences they have. Neither one has taken a firm stand on any issue. They both say they will immediately pull all the troops out of Iraq, eventually, maybe, if the polls say they should. They both say they support gays, if it will get them any votes, otherwise it's get lost you perverts.
However they both agree that they will cut the military budget and raise taxes so they can use the money to register all those illegal Mexicans in order to get them to vote Democrat.
Even though you are registered as a Democrat you can still vote for a Republican who will fight to keep this country safe, but then all your liberal friends would hate you. It's probably better for you if we lose the war and you keep your friends.

Answer 4

I'm glad you are a girl, and you feel the need to use your Man given right to vote.

Please don't waste it. (jk all of what I said above, lol)

Do your research, it's not about the parties anymore, because they haven't been working. It's time for Americans to educate themselves.

The Do's:
-Look at candidates from BOTH parties
-Fish out the fakes
-Respect the opinions of REAL politicians
-Have your OWN opinion

The Don'ts:
-Vote by party. It's time the people tell our two political parties to GET FU*KED, and that we are going to vote by what a person says, and not what they call themselves.
-Listen to the ^Media^'s advice... they don't know you.
(True Story)
-Let woman know that we really have never counted their votes, and that they are infact destroyed as soon as you leave, and that's the REAL reason the polls estimate an average 50% voter turnout.
(totally kidding... yay woman's rights!!) lol

Answer 5

They are similar in policies and supplement each other for a very promising team. Hillary more experienced and can benefit from husband Bill Clinton's advice.Obama intelligent and articulate and shall obtain very good experience as VP and shall be the most successful US president from 2016.

Answer 6

Hillary is a weasel and obama is just a weak candidate

Answer 7

There really isn't much difference, but the differences are very important.

Barack wants to withdraw the troops entirely, leaving the Iraqis to clean up the mess we have made, and leaving Iraq wide open to Iran and Al Queda. Clinton wants to begin the withdrawal of most of our troops, leaving residual troops there to protect our interests, keep training the Iraqi military and keep Al Queda under control.

The other major difference is the matter of experience. There is no question that she is the more politically mature and experienced candidate. He has even given up trying to argue with that, instead saying “I may not have the experience Washington likes, but I have the experience America needs—the ability to bring people together, stand up to the special interests, and tell the truth to the American people on the major issues we face, from Iraq to Social Security..” Now that sounds pretty, but after the experience of George Bush and this mangled war, I'll be voting for the experience it will take to clean up his mess and that means Hillary Clinton.

Answer 8

Besides Melanin nothing.

Answer 9

depends what stance hillary is taking for the day

Answer 10

Clinton is a Republican and Obama is a Democrat.

Clinton is betting that she can woo Republican votes and win. She doesn’t anticipate how badly that will backfire.
