41. There can't be any serious doubt about it. Hillary is more hawkish than Obama.

She always has been. She's hawkish. I backed Obama over Hillary in '08 primarily over that factor.

Obama never pretended to be anything other than what he is, at least in my opinion. He campaigned vigorously on a PROMISE to pursue America's enemies wherever they are. He PROMISED that if Bin Laden was in Pakistan he would go there and kill or capture the man with or without Pakistan's permission.

So he's never lied about what he believes. Same for Hillary. She walks, talks, and acts hawkish. She's a hawk.

I voted Justice Party in 2012, but I've never regretted my vote for Obama.

If it makes sense, I'll vote for Hillary in 2016 with full knowledge of where she stands. She stands in agreement with maybe 50% of what I believe.
