Second, I prefer Obama's character. Clinton is, as they say, "more of the same" in terms of politician character. There are lots of complaints to be made about the way politics plays out in this country, and many people eventually shrug it off as "that's just politics." Lawrence Lessig made a video explaining why he supports Obama (which I posted on TFP and linked to in my signature), and his examples of Clinton blatently twisting Obama's words and actions to give a wrong impression against him are very concerning to me. Not because I think it makes her worse than the average politician, but because Obama provides a rare opportunity to reward someone who does what he can to avoid playing by those "rules."

Well, shit, if Larry Lessig supports Obama that's good enough for me. Its not that I hate Billary, its still better than any Republican by name, but they will do anything short of prostitution for votes and they've already been in the white house far too long (but not as far too long as the George Bushes). Im still not entirely convinced that Hillary is human, she could definitely be a robot that repeats a set of approved talking points and cries on demand. I still can't believe women vote for her; what kind of feminist would have Bill for a husband? I got out and voted for Obama in the California primary.. that he
lost (he did win my county).. but
other states are looking better.
