Obama: the honest, Hillary: the thief
Obama proved (among others) that you can be ethical **and** be successful. A member of Dailykos (Borell) tried to donate to Obama, but got his donation politely refused because he’s a member of a (even just non-profit) lobbying organization.
The Obama Campaign will refuse money from donator who’s linked in anyway to a lobbying organization. This fact should be highlighted MUCH more often, because the lobbyist are among the reasons that America (and the world) is in such a state of wreck today.
Among the powerful (and destructive) lobbyist are AIPAC (siphoning US taxpayers money to Israel, causing worldwide unrest), lobbyist for various energy companies (who in turn causes destructions all over the world), and many others.
The Hillary Clinton campaign, in reverse, will accept any donation, and will even steal them. Borell’s wife tried to cancel her automatic debit donation, but it’s still taken from her after these months.
Along with Hillary’s other dishonesties (sniper fire anyone?), I won’t be voting her if I’m an American.
Need more people like Obama in the governments. Here’s one rooting for you, Obama !

As foreigners we have an easy ride - we can go by the surface and never have to regret our choice. And Barack Obama has this fabulous knack: the best orator since Marcus Antonius (or at least his ghost writer William Shakespeare). So, just like you: if Europeans could vote in November my choice also would be Obama.
Still, essentially he is just another politician. He promises immediate withdrawal from Iraq, but he will not be able to deliver. He promises to get a go at the financial crises, but I bet you he has no solution. What he has is superb rhetoric and good looks.
Nevertheless: let’s hope the Democrats will make Obama their candidate and the American voters will choose him over John McCain ( who is an atypical politician also btw).
