7. Pretty much agree with most of what you said, but I thought Obama was much better on Health Care

and of course, the Iraq War. I also thought he was better on Civil Liberties, Torture and I liked what he said about the US always going to 'save' other countries. Airc, he didn't believe we should be the world's policemen.

He was good on setting up committees also, Hillary often said when asked 'what would you do about (fill in the blank) that she would set up as committee to 'explore all options'. Obama stated that he would not do that, as he considered Committees to be an 'end run' around the Constsitution.

And on the Iraq War, Hillary was unable to explain why she supported it, she hedged and dodged but never actually apologized for it.

I still think Obama is often pushed into some of these Foreign Interventions, such as Libya and Syria, and wonder if any president can fight the war mongers who seem to have to control of these issues. So I am glad he is president right now. I think Hillary would not have dealt with Iran the way he has.
