I think subscribing to Black Liberation Theology for twenty years represents a serious failure in judgment.

Being friendly with a known domestic terrorist isn't exactly fine judgment.

Point
The policy differences between Obama and Clinton are minor. What matters is who has a better chance of implementing them.

In Nov, I guarantee you it will come down to who will keep us safe. As opposed to Hillary, Obama has no foreign policy experience; his rhetoric will be torn apart by McCain.

A fresh support (Boost this post if you think it is a good argument, even if you don't agree with it.)

Obama inspires people to optimism about and investment in the American political system. We can't have change without hope and a willingness to act on it.

The last time we had a presidential candidate who used charm to overcome voter doubts of his foreign policy experience was in 2000. His name: George W. Bush.
