I'm just guessing, but it appears you may think Obama is one of those who is "beholden more to the people than to private interests." Well, if you read the article cited and linked above, you'll see that Obama's voting record is surprisingly regular-people-unfriendly.

I get the feeling that many of Obama's followers don't know much about him beyond that he is a good speech giver. He is also worse than the "usual politicians" he disingenuously denigrates: he is as much down in the mud as any other politician, but he uses the Rovian tactic of SAYING he's above all that. So it's worse, cuz he's essentially lying.</description>

					<description>To john polifronio:

What, exactly, do you know about Clinton that makes her a better candidate?  You show no evidence. You site no source.  You assume the veracity of the statements of pundits. Your zealotry and cynicism leads us to believe you incapable of objectivity, the very thing you are criticising.  You offend us john. You mistake volume for credibility.

We hate no-one
We merely prefer a candidate beholden more to the people than to private interests. If you cannot get past this; the office of 'president' might just as well mean 'dictator'. And then, the point will be moot.

We leave you we the party line:
War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
-Orwell;1984</description>

					<description>My god man, what kind of Hillary-hating sickness do you have.  You need a doctor or a psychiatrist.  If Obama is favored, this is a sign that the his judge is fair and balanced.  if Hillary is favored, this indicates that her judge is biased and his judgement is stupid.

Hillary gets the higher marks, because she's the better candidate.

This shows the appalling stupidity of the people that hold our national fate in their hands, and preselect and prefavor a  candidate before we know anything about him.  Can someone explain to me, how this can be?  How can you preselect a candidate, based on ignorance of who and what he is, and force a whole nation to accept your  presumption,  arrogance, and cavalier disregard for their best interests.</description>

					<description>Considering the name of the individual that wrote the article, if I were Obama I wouldn't worry too much about what is written by rettich.  It's clear the writer of the message wants Hillary as the leading "Queen" but I won't vote for either democrat.</description>
