I think it is very impressive that even back in 2002, Obama was explaining the problems with invading Iraq, the splintering factions there, and was against giving the Bush Administration carte blanche authority to invade. He shows a willingness to analyze important issues that has been sorely lacking in the highest office for many years now.

Can't stop, can't stop Barak.

For a guy with no experience, he sure has all the foresight and understanding that none of the current career politicians have/had. His ideas and intelligence far surpass that of any of our current politicians and he currently has my support/vote....

That's a good video find zero.

Hillary's camp is going to have a tough time with that one.

Man, I gotta get on your sig....

If Hilary beats Obama out in the primaries, the Dems should just fold up camp and go Jonestown on us.

Yeah, but if Hillary loses to Obama in the primaries, she'll probably go Columbine on us. Either way, it's a lose-lose!

If any of your are interested in joining the Obama team, check out http://www.barackobama.com/

Its actually a pretty fund deal, you even get to create your own blog, many many groups to join, etc. He is running a "big tent" campaign, so all Dems, Reps, Independents, etc etc. are welcome to join and help effectuate change. Although I like Hillary, I see her as part of the "status quo" and Barack as a more of an "outsider" who wants to make sweeping changes.

I'd imagine that a fair percentage of Senators and other politicains who endorsed the Iraq War thought it was a bad idea just like Obama did, but didn't have the guts to say so.
