First of all, the vote was not to give the President the authority to go war. It was to allow him to use all means short of war to convince Hussein to give up his WMDs. Millitary force was to be the last resort. This vote was taken in 2003.

Obama gave his anti-Iraq war speech in 2004. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. And before he gave his 'glorious' speech, he canvased the Democratic leadership to see which way the wind was blowing. He was not in the Senate. He did not have to make a decision about voting for or against any action to be taken. He didn't see what otherSenators saw in the way of evidence, trumped up or not. Even Colin Powell was taken in by the evidence,not realizing that it was false.

So, come on and be real for once all of you who think Obama is the only choice for America. Most of his ideas have come from Hillary Clinton. He can't debate because he can't think on his feet and doesn't have the fund of knowledge that Hillary has because he has no real experience.

What exactly has he done besides work in the community and be the head of the Harvard Law Review? What real experience has he had? What laws has he been able to get passed in the Senate? On what bills has he been able to engage the Republicans in to get passed. When has he ever crossed to aisle for the good of the nation?

Someone please answer these questions for me and maybe I might be swayed to consider voting for Obama.

As far as I am concerned, I am voting for Hillary in November by writing her name on the ballot. I voted in Pennsylvania with other members of the Democratic Party. No Independents or Republicans were allowed to interfere. Who will representing the real Democratic Party ar the Narional Convention? Certainly not Democrats!
