Yesterday Senator Obama addressed a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania. He answered many questions from the group of veterans about the underfunding of the VA, the nasty campaigning & the racist type comments uttered by a fellow congressman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9Jis_BsZ0w).
Senator Obama has run an honorable campaign and hasn't resorted to the nastiness which we have seen and see today. He didn't raise a ruckus about the comments being racist although the comment is clearly racist (use of the word "boy" to describe a 47 yr old senator).
When asked about the Iraq war and the cost in lives and dollars, Senator Obama recognized that George HW Bush (the 1st) did it right. Back during the Gulf War, the executive branch took their time, calculated the cost, listened to all views (even dissenting views) and executed a plan down to the details.
Barack said that it doesn't matter if someone is Republican or Democrat, many of the issues we are facing today (war, mortgage crisis, gas prices,etc..) are not partisan issues. Sure, he is hoping to get more Republican support, but I believed him yesterday.
Do you support Barack? What are the top 2 things you look for in a presidential candidate?
